RTWP optimization, Radio Resource Allocation and Adoption of New Features. Compared with the historical optimization practice, the solution herein outruns the improvement by more than 10 times for UL throughput and doubles the DL throughput at the same time. The solution in this article already applied in the other project and it is worthy of transplanting into more mobile networks for similar optimization purpose.
HSDPA Scheduling Based on UE Location HSDPA Scheduling Based on UE Location During field test, after activates the new features above, UL throughput slightly degrades, but UL throughput is more stable than ever before; and DL throughput improves. Two new features are available starting from RAN 14. Considers the network will upgrade to RAN14 in the near future, we integrate them into the solution:
Several reserved parameters below are profitable to maintain the KPI[5] hence we integrate them into the solution as well:
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH:ReservedSwitch0=RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT3-1; SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH:ReservedSwitch0=RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT23-1; SET URRCTRLSWITCH: RsvdPara1=RsvdBit1_BIT25-0; SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH-1;
Radio Resource Allocation[1],[3],[4] Radio Resource Allocation is dedicated to change the thresholds associated with resource allocation to enable HSPA+ subscriber utilize more radio resource when in use; and use the resource with a higher priority than that of the R99 PS user. Considered HSPA+ is of higher efficiency to consume the radio resource than that of R99 PS, it is reasonable and profitable to bear the data payload with HSPA+, instead of R99. After HSPA+ subscriber completes the transmission, the resource is free for use by other services. So the negative impact is acceptable in general which is supported by the stable evolution of RNC level KPI. Associated settings are listed below:
SET FRCCHLTYPEPARA: SrbChlType=HSUPA, SrbChlTypeRrcEffectFlag=FALSE; ADD USPG:SPGID=2, PRIORITYSERVICEFORR99RT=1, PRIORITYSERVICEFORR99NRT=2, PRIORITYSERVICEFOREXTRAB=1, PRIORITYSERVICEFORHSDPA=1, PRIORITYSERVICEFORHSUPA=1;

When transplanting the solution, we can retune the above settings to adapt the requirement and condition of each network, and not force to strictly follow the settings listed above. All associated parameters are summarized below

E2D is applied in the current network and produces slightly negative impact to throughput. After activates TTI Switch for BE Services Based on Coverage License, we can deactivate E2D solution because the two solutions cannot co-exist in an RNC and the gains of E2D can be achieved by the previous feature:
SET UFRC: RetryCapability=TTI_2MS-0; SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: ReservedSwitch0=RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT5-0; SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: ReservedSwitch0=RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT7-0;
The detailed configuration of these features are documented in [3] SingleRAN Features Activation Guideline (V900R013C00_09)(PDF)-EN, [4] SingleRAN Configuration Guideline(V900R013C00_04)(PDF)EN
Unfortunately some cells emerges high UL power congestion appears in hot spot. After compares the parameter settings, an RNC-level parameter differs from the settings of normal functioned RNC: BEHSUPA2MSTTIRATETHS. After unified it (SET UFRC: BEHSUPA2MSTTIRATETHS=D1280), UL power congestion recovers to normal case. As for the slight UL power congestion, CE congestion and Code congestion in few cells in hot spot, we can take it for granted considers the HSPA+ throughput improves tremendously. Some other actions can be applied to relieve the congestion issue such as adding a new micro site, decreasing the power of PCPICH, CE expansion, etc.
