Anti-Interference Scheduling for HSUPA


53.7% gain in HSUPA cell throughput in live network
Anti-Interference Scheduling
When there is strong interference, RTWP is very high, the
available load space is compressed, user experience is poor.

Scheduling should consider both capacity and coverage.


Small /no interference scenario, blue ring as the threshold
to guarantee coverage.
Strong interference scenariored ring as the threshold to
arrow more users to access, improve capacity and
guarantee the minimum UL coverage

Benefits & Case

Benefits & Case

MRAB HSUPA and HSDPA Fallback to DCH

Avoid AMR call drop in HSUPA 2ms/10ms reconfiguration, and


E2D reconfiguration. Reduced CS call drop rate.

PS of MRAB is bear on DCH directly

20% CS Call drop rate decreased

It can greatly save resource and CS performance can be


improved simultaneously.

No other KPI degradation occurred.

Considering the heart beat of smart phone, DCH 8k/8k is


recommended when P2D triggered by CS call.

The feature performances well and


we suggest to deploy it in all RNCs.

The higher MRAB penetration, the more gain will be achieved.
