HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential


Background
Problem
• The RTWP is abnormally high in many offices globally, especially in
heavy-traffic cells. This problem affects user service experience and
network KPI.

• Coverage shrink: The edge users in the cell cannot initiate services,
especially CS services. The call drop rate increases.

• User experience: The RTWP increase exceeds the HSUPA target


scheduling value, and the HSUPA user throughput rate is only 32 Kbit/s.

Objective:
• Provides RTWP optimization solutions for heavy-traffic cells.

• Guides site engineers directly for the troubleshooting of RTWP problems


in the live network.

- 10 ms Fixed PO Optimization
 10 ms fixed PO optimization between DPCCH (UL) and E DPDCH
 Basic principle and application scenario
 Basic principle: Manually configure a higher reference PO (REFETFCIPO1) for the 10 ms
TTI, to reduce DPCCH SIR, reduce the uplink load of Control Channel, and improve the
throughput of the HSUPA cell with multiple subscribers.

 Application scenario: This is used for the network with a high ratio of HSUPA 10 ms
subscriber, and with limited Uplink capacity.

 Gain and risk


 Gain: from lab test with 75% uplink load target threshold, 18 online subscribers and two
uploading subscribers, the gain of the uplink throughput in the cell is 15%. (only when you
have many HSUPA users)

 Risk: The peak rate of the HSUPA 10 ms subscriber in commercial network competition is
slightly affected.

load).
EFD is used for networks with high iPhone penetration rates.

 Application scenario: This is used for networks with high penetration rates of intelligent

RTWP Optimization Solution
- iPhone Link-Deleting Problem
 iPhone link-deleting problem
 Basic principle and application scenario

 Basic principle:
- When iPhone releases the link, it retransmits the RRC CONN REL CMP signaling message
- However, the network side releases the link before UE (RNC still send RRC CONN REQ to UE)
=> the uplink power control is abnormal (no power control anymore) and the RTWP spike occurs.
- The solution is to delay the link release on the network side after iPhone releasing the link

 Application scenario: This is used for networks with high iPhone penetration rates and high RTWP.

 Gain and risk


 Gain: The RTWP spike is reduced. After the solution is implemented on the site in Thailand, the RTWP
average value improves by about 3 dB.

 Risk: None

RTWP Optimization Solution
- RTWP Value Optimization of SIB7 Broadcast
 Value optimization of SIB 7 broadcast RTWP
 Basic principle and application scenario

 Basic principle:
- Real time RTWP value (broadcasting by SIB7) is used to calculate the RACH initial access power
- In high load scenarios you can introduce a maximum threshold for RTWP (ex : -80dBm) , to
avoid the power of RACH initial access being too high.
The effect is essentially the same than reducing the Constvalue. Both are for reducing the UE
power of transmitting the first preamble.

 Application scenario: This is used in the scenario where the RACH causes RTWP rising.

 Gain and risk


 Gain: After the RTWP value of SIB7 broadcast is optimized on the office in country A, the average
RTWP value is reduced by about 3 dB.

 Risk: In the scenario with not obvious RTWP spike caused by RACH, each RACH access needs a
large amount of preamble ramp progress, which causes delay increasing.

RTWP Optimization Solution
- Adaptive Adjustment of HSUPA PO
 Adaptive adjustment of HSUPA PO (Power Offset)
 Basic principle and application scenario
 Basic principle: If the subscriber rate is lower than a certain threshold, and the air interface load is
limited (high RTWP), this solution will automatically increase the HSUPA reference PO
(REFETFCIPO1) to reduce the DPCCH SIR of lower rate subscribers, and to improve uplink capacity.
 Application scenario: This is used for the network with a high ratio of HSUPA 10 ms subscriber, and
with limited uplink capacity.
- The effect is better with HSUPA TTI switchover based on the load is enabled.
- Used for 10 ms, not used with the fixed PO optimization at the same time.

 Gain and risk


 Gain: When the number of subscriber with low rate is high with, the gain is obvious.
Eg. more than fifteen 10 ms subscribers with small amounts of data to be retransmitted are online and uploading at the same time.
the HSUPA capacity of the cell can improve more than 40%.
=> average throughput increase 
=> and simultaneous UL data transmission subscriber number 

 Risk: The gain is not obvious for subscribers with frequent link-release /link setup or with too short
lasting time links.

RTWP Optimization Solution - HSUPA TTI Selection and
Switchover Solution Enabled + 2 ms Periodic Retry Disabled
 HSUPA TTI selection and switchover solution enabled + 2 ms periodic retry disabled.
 Basic principle and application scenario

 Basic principle: HSUPA 2ms TTI require more TX power and more admission CE
Enable the switchover of the HSUPA subscriber from 2 ms TTI to 10 ms TTI if :
- The subscriber rate is lower than a certain threshold,
- The air interface resource or the CE resource is limited,

* The 2 ms periodic retry is disabled to prevent TTI ping-pong switchover.

 Application scenario: This is used for networks with HSUPA 2 ms function enabled, lots of
2 ms subscribers and limited uplink load.

 Gain and risk


 Gain: The UL load RTWP will improve,

 Risk: When the 10 ms TTI subscriber requires high-speed data transmission, the rate
rises more slowly because of the reconfiguration process time to 2 ms TTI (based on
throughout and load)

Reception Using Multiple Antennas
 Reception using multiple antennas
 Basic principle and application scenario
 Basic principle: For the same transmission rate, the reception using multiple
antennas reduces the signal power that each antenna receives, that is, the uplink load.
For the same load, the reception using multiple antennas allows the UE to send larger
transmission blocks, which means the uplink capacity is improved.
 Gain and risk
 Gain: - Compared with the single antenna reception, two-way receive diversity
reception improves the uplink capacity by more than 50%.
- Compared with the dual-antenna reception, the four-way receive diversity
reception improves the uplink capacity by more than 50%.
