Proposed EUL Solutions

Objectives
This document is intended to outline the impact of EUL Channel unlocking and increasing the EUL interference headroom and to provide the recommendation towards the degraded Performances (RAN W11B)

WMRR: Ue Tx Power

Conclusions
When EUL Channel is enabled, UL interference from HSUPA users increased hence consequently Ue requires higher UL Tx Power for R99 users
This is affected by the condition where RACH Preamble power increase by 2 dB to 6 dB needed to setup a call UE TX power increases of 3-6, dB in order to keep the AMR call on the same quality target

Higher UE TX Power degrades the UL interference situation further:

Increase UE TX power in response to increase UL interference caused by HSUPA If the UL interference caused by HSUPA users is higher than the interference assumption in Link budget calculation, access performances at the cell edge may degrade
