HSPA+ Throughput Improvement Solution and Implementation Abstract : this article presents 2 solution to improve HSPA* throughput which is consisted of TWP optimization, Radio Resource Allocation and Adoption of New Features. Compared withthe tistorcl optimization practice, the soktion herein outruns the improvement by more than 10 times for UL throughput and doubles the OL throughput atthe same time. The olution in ths ate akeady applied inthe other project andi worthy of transplanting into mare mabe networks fr silat ‘optimization purpose Keywords spas, thrassout improvement, RNP, RasioResource Alcan 1. Preface HSPAr supports ULS.76Mbps/ DL21Mbps and above throughput theoretically whichis rather high for the actual application requirement curren, But the throughput in fed test in many counties is far below the theoretical peak throughput, esp. for HSUPA. For instance, ULHSPA throughput mains at “TRps oF sain | county, similar a the performance in network China Mobile. In the pas there {few optimization cases inthis fled in our company. One case in country M achleved 15% improvement. for UL throughput to reach about 100kbps or son summary, HSPA® throughput ld test results only lose to 1% of the theoretical peak throughput It makes the operator undervalue the investment for HSPA®; and the nd user expect to enjoy better perception for HEPAT service. The author combines many technical methods to improve the UL throughput by 2 times toeven more than 10 times, and doubles the DL throughput durng optimzation solution baling for alarge scale network. Finally we gt the PO and Implement the solution in whole network. The soliton also transplanted int the other network in ‘ourtryP, lam honored to hare my ideas herein fis and expect everyone share better ideas te a. 2. Ideas of HSPA+ Throughput Improvement ‘The sohtions consisted of three part: ‘+ RTWP Optimization + aio Resource Allocation + Adoption of New Features ATWPis consisted of UL payload UL Sinal and various of ULinterference. In UMTS, ATW? is tightly Impacted the network KP and UL/DL throughput: the lower ATWP, the ower interference network, ‘and accordingly the higher throughput. After reduces the RTWP, provides the space to relieve the ‘negative Impact upon KP accompanied bythe throughput. For the operator, the higher UL Payload the ‘mere income forthernin most f the cases and i’ hare to eliminate various of interference exp for 2 large network So it seems ony one relatively simple way to decrease the RTWP through decreasing the UL signal traffic. We integrate some methods with this idea based onthe practice in other UMTS. networks Radio Resource location sto optimize the associated threshold ae priority of radio resource location between HSPAs and other services to enable HSPA® subscrberutlze mare raco resource and ‘own high priority than R99 PS under the prerequisite that te urer of other service perception maintains Inluding KPIs. Considered HSPAC is of higher efficiency toconsume the radio resource than that oF R93 PS, tis therefore reasonable and proftatie, Some new features have postive gins for both ULand DL throvehput theoretical. Considered the request of presales team to package the solution to make it complex and valuable, we introduce some ‘new features int the solution ‘+ TTISwiteh on BE Seruice Based on Coverage License ‘+ Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power Offset for HSUPAcal Adjustment Based on Dynamic SLER Target (€ Overbooking HSOPA Scheduling Based on UE Location HSDPA Scheduling Based on UE Location During fel test, after acthates the new features above, UL throughput sight degrades, but UL ‘throughputs more stable than ever before; and OL throughput improves, Two new features ae available starting from RAN 14.
