Case Study Low HSDPA throughput:Service Cell ID: 3M018D

Frequency:10837sdsdsddsdsds
Issue description:
The stable throughput in this test location is about 700kbps, so
based on normal optimization process we check following items:
1. Radio environment:
EcNo=-3dB and RSCP=-71, there is no other cell signal
interference, the radio environment is very good;
2. CQI value:
Almost the CQI value is kept as 30, the maximum value of CQI;
3. HS-PDSCH codes:
No more than 7 codes were used, but the codes utilization rate is
very low, it is about 15%. If you want to obtain a good
throughput this value should be more than 40% for current used
codes.
4. HS-SCCH channel decode success rate
Normal value of this value should be about 70%, but the test
location HS-SCCH channel decode success rate is no more than
25%.Low value will cause scheduling issue for HSDPA.
5. User traffic:
We check current traffic utilization for serving cell and other cosite cells, detailed log:
traffic situation

There are 2 HSDPA users in 3M018D.

All detailed information is following:

Good CQI

Low Throughput

Low HS-SCCH decode success rate

Low code utilization rate

Good radio environment

Solutions:
1. Aim at the HS-SCCH channel low decode success rate, we
increase its channel power, parameters modification:
hsScchMaxCodePower
hsScchMinCodePower

Current value: -20

Current value: -150

Proposal value:0
Proposal value:-110

2. We also found that the codeThresholdPdu656=6, the value is

not suitable. In order to improve the RLD PDU transmission
efficiency, we adjust this parameter to 0.
Result:
1. Check the traffic status, same as first time there are 2 users in
the serving cell 3M018D, log:

2. HS-SCCH channel decode success rate is stable, 100%;

3. HS-PDSCH code utilization rate is more than 60%.
4. Throughput is about 3Mbps.
