1. Parameters affect to service
1.1. Received signal code power (RSCP)
 In the UMTS cellular communication system, received signal code power
(RSCP) denotes the power measured by a receiver on a particular physical
communication channel. It is used as an indication of signal strength, as a
handover criterion, in downlink power control, and to calculate path loss.
 We can measure the RSCP at User equipment by using G-NetTrack Lite
software.

1.2. Received energy divided by total noise Power (EcNo)
 That’s the received energy per chip (Ec) of the pilot channel
divided by the total noise power density (No). In other words
the EcNo in the RSCP divided by the RSSI (Received Signal
Strength Indication). The value of EcNo is negative as the
RSCP in smaller then the total received power. As the RSCP
this value can be used to compare different cells on the same
carrier and handover or cell reselection decisions can be taken.
 We can measure the EcNo at User equipment by using G-
NetTrack Lite software.

1.2. Uplink interference (RTWP)
 RTWP is related to uplink interference, and its monitoring helps control the
call drops - mainly CS. It also has importance in the capacity management, as
it provides information for the Congestion Control regarding Uplink
Interference.
 In a network is not loaded, normal, acceptable RTWP Average value is
generally around -104.5 and -105.5 dBm.

1.2 Adjustable parameters.
1.2.1 The Transmission Power.
 The transmission power is the maximum power of cell, this parameter affect to
the transmission bandwidth. As the results, the higher transmission, the more
data throughput.
 The value of transmission power
+ 20 W = 43 dBm
+ 30 W = 44.7 dBm
+ 40 W = 46 dBm
+ 60 W = 47.8 dBm

1.2 Adjustable parameters.
1.2.2 The CPICH Power.
 The CPICH Power related to wave covering area. CPICH power typically
takes about 10% of the total Node B power. If CPICH power is set too high,
congestion may appear due to larger coverage, which implies that more users
may camp within the sector. Therefore, its power can be adjusted within the
rules mentioned above, between 5-10% of total power, in order to
increase/reduce the effective covered area to cope with traffic load.

 The value of CPICH power

+ 2 W = 33 dBm
+ 3 W = 34.7 dBm
+ 4 W = 36 dBm

2.3 How to change Tilt.
 The larger the Tilt, the smaller the coverage area.
 We must adjust E-Tilt first. If we can’t change E-Tilt, we will assign depot go onsite to adjust M-Tilt.
