HS-SCCH codes: 3 Versus

4
A trial has been completed to
estimate the gain or loss
when implementing HSSCCH=3 & 4

Summary
The trial was conducted on 2 sites :
F1128: low load site
F1415: high load site

The change from HS-SCCH =4 to 3 was

implemented on July 26th
We observe a significant gain in HS
throughput in case of high load site in both
cell and user levels
Only the KPIs with relevant variation will be
described in next slides

HS throughput

There is a gain after implementing HS-SCCH=3,

more obvious on site 1415 which is high load site

There is a gain after implementing HSSCCH=3 but obvious in all sectors

There is a gain after implementing HSSCCH=3, obvious in all sectors of F1

There is a gain after implementing HSSCCH=3, obvious in all sectors of F2

Conclusion
The gain is showing in a more evident way
for the high load site
The DT is showing very good improvement
for HS user throughput in high loaded site
We observed an increase of HS throughput
in both cell and user levels when decreasing
the HS-SCCH to 3 in high load site
