Modify the CQI feedback period from 2 ms to 8 ms. The RTWP average value is
reduced by about 8 dB in real-time trace ( -76.97dBm -> -85.05dBm ).
The load overshoots in a short time, and the frequency decreases obviously.

10 ms fixed PO optimization between DPCCH (UL) and E DPDCH
Basic principle and application scenario

- State Transition / EFD
State transition
Basic principle
Basic principle: Transit the traffic from DCH to FACH or PCH state, reduce the dedicated
channel resources occupation (DPCCH, HS_DPCCH), and reduce uplink load (and downlink
load).
EFD is used for networks with high iPhone penetration rates.
Application scenario: This is used for networks with high penetration rates of intelligent
terminals, and when we have many online subscribers with low volume of data transmission.
Risk: Time delay and signaling could (RB reconf), and the call drop may be degraded : no
power control on FACH, number of PS access is reduced.

- 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.
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.
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.

In the real-time trace data, you can see that the frequency of load short-time overshoot
obviously becomes lower.

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.
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,
Application scenario: This is used for networks with HSUPA 2 ms function enabled, lots of
2 ms subscribers and limited uplink load.
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%.
Risk: none.
