Low Throughput for HSDPA and HSUPA 20/12/2012

Case Name Analysis of Low Throughput for HSDPA and HSUPA

Author: V00742895 (Vijay Pratap Singh)
Description IN Country B Swap project, the problem was that during the SSV test
for one site the HSDPA & HSUPA didnt meet the target thresholds
that Agreed with the customer as the RSCP, EcNo and CQI is very
good , The customer need this site to be passed to start the cluster
Acceptance.
The NODE B of Huawei : DBS3900

Alarm NULL
Handling We checked the configuration of the site and the transmission
Process Bandwidth and no problems found (site configuration and
transmission Bandwidth was ok).

We Asked the DT engineer go to the site and test Again and we

monitor the cell and the connection Through the LMT.

1-The connection monitoring

a- RSCP & EcNo:

RSCP:-48 dbm , EcNo: -3 db (no problem from the levels

side).

a- DL throughput:

DL average throughput: 2Mbps (unstable ) where the site

support 14.4 mbps .

a- UL throughput:

UL average throughput: 160 Kbps where the site support 2

mbps.

The problem that the very low DL\UL throughput where the good RF
conditions with no problems from hardware and transmission sides.

2-The cell monitoring:

a- RTWP:

From the cell monitoring we found that the RTWP is very

high and its value around -94 dBm.

checked also from OMC we found the RTWP = -93.4 dBm and no
Hardware alarms on the site.

After reading Huawei Documents, We found we can adjust the RTWP

initial to get the normal Level of RTWP on the site.

SET RTWPINITADJ:
CN=MASTER,SRN=20,SN=0,CHANNEL=0,CARRIER=1, RTWPINITADJ
=-110;
After we adjusted RTWP initial adjusting we monitor again and
found the below

1-The connection monitoring:

a- DL throughput:

DL average throughput: 13Mbps .

a- DL throughput:

DL average throughput: 13Mbps .

a- UL throughput

UL average throughput: 1.8 Mbps .

2-The cell monitoring:

a- RTWP:

After we adjust RTWP initial the RTWP was normal and its
around -104 dBm.

We checked also from OMC we found the RTWP became = -103.9

dBm.

Suggestion Suggestion and Summary

- In this case we faced low HSDPA and HSUPA throughput

we checked if there is any problem that can affect the
throughput like site configuration or any transmission
limitations and no problem found.
- And we checked the reasons that can affect the HSDPA
and HSUPA throughput and we found that the RTWP one
of the reasons that affect the throughput we checked its
value and we found the value is abnormal value we adjust
the RTWP initial parameter and checked the RTWP it
became normal we checked again with monitoring we
found the throughput reached the target thresholds and
the SSV passed and the customer start to clear the
inte.rference source as we face this issue in many sites .
- when of the main keys that affect the throughput the
RTWP If any RF engineer face a low throughput problem
must check the RTWP
