Parameter trial and effect of capacity upgrade
Summary

• Parameter changes bring better control of UL load

• The results indicate a clear capacity limitation on the old
configuration
- Packet data volume was quadrupled (4x) after the capacity upgrade

Parameter settings
PARAMETER CHANGE 1

• Limit HSUPA with HSUPA AC and Mass Event Handler

- MEHMaxHSUPAUsers = 15
• Limit UL NRT PS allocations with power based and throughput based
scheduling, PrxLoadMarginDCH = 0.3 dB
 max 5 x 16k return channel allocations in the cell based on TP based PS
• Maintain SRB and AMR and accessibility
- RRMULDCHActivityFactorCSAMR = 1 %
- PRFILE RN40_MAINT_013,Bit12  1 (multiply DPCCH overhead with activity factor)
 allows 95 AMR calls and SRB to the cell based on TP based AC
• VCP with NPO recommended configuration
- Proactive with 1 dB offset

Parameter settings
PARAMETER CHANGE 2

• Parameters recovered after HW upgrade

• Limit HSUPA with HSUPA AC and Mass Event Handler
- MEHMaxHSUPAUsers = 15
• Limit UL NRT PS allocations with power based and throughput based
scheduling, PrxLoadMarginDCH = 0.3 dB
 max 5 x 16k return channel allocations in the cell based on TP based PS
• Maintain SRB and AMR and accessibility
- RRMULDCHActivityFactorCSAMR = 1 %
• VCP with NPO recommended configuration
- Proactive with 1 dB offset

Parameter settings
PARAMETER CHANGE 3 & 4

PARAMETER CHANGE 3 : Target to improve low PS accessibility even with high

capacity setup
• Increase Mass Event Handler temporary limitation
- MEHMaxHSUPAUsers = 30  50

PARAMETER CHANGE 4 : Target to control RTWP

• Drop PrxLoadMarginEDCH 2 dB  0 dB (prevent load based HSUPA grant
scheduling)

Capacity upgrade

• Antenna system was

renewed
- Old system 1 sector, no
diversity
- New system 4 sectors, UL
diversity

Subscribers

Operator has 40% market share 3G network in the main areena has
Areena can take maximum 13200 one sector with 4 carriers (after
ticket holders  max. 5280 capacity upgrade 4 x 4 cells)
subscribers
1300 subs/cell (before capacity
upgrade)
 330 subs/cell (aftercapacity
upgrade)

Summary of results

• Main targets achieved

- Clear improvement on UL cell throughput and packet session throughputs
- Good control of UL cell load (RTWP), after capacity upgrade some degradation on UL load
control
• Recommended next steps
- Check ISHO statistics to see possible leakage due to dropped pilot power
- Further decrease of HSUPA initial SIR targets
- Consider HSUPA dynamic BLER feature activation and configuration
- Consider testing of RAN2480: Automatic Access Class Restriction – Target to limit RACH and
FACH loading
