How to improve Ec/No in situation : Good RSCP, bad Ec/No (Ex: in buillding ) ?

There are different things which are affecting Ec/NoEcNo is RSCP/RSSI so if you have
good RSCP it means you have high RSSI
RSSI is sum of White noise, Received signal from serving cell, received signal from
other cells and also external interference
If the ratio of CPICH power to Maximum Transmitted power from serving cell is high
it means the EcNo gets badIf there are polution and too many strong signal from
other cells, RSSI increases
If you have external interference RSSI increases
If the cell is very loaded it will transmit with maximum power so RSSI increases
specially in the case of HSDPA instantaneous load increases from power
consumption point of view PLEASE note it is normal when you are using HSDPA
ECNo gets degraded
It is important how you are doing indoor coverage... are you using DAS, Micro cells
and so on... It is important how you installed the equipment. Please remember the
measuring point is port of antenna and bad equipment configuration can end up
some problems.
