INTRODUCTION
Adaptive RACH
When a large number of UEs simultaneously initiate a random access procedure in a cell, the received total wideband power (RTWP) of this cell
becomes extremely high. To reduce the RTWP in this scenario, Huawei offers Adaptive RACH. Adaptive RACH enables the RNC to
dynamically adjust the settings of random access parameters for a cell based on the uplink power load and number of acknowledged random
accesses in a specified period of time. This feature can reduce a cell's RTWP and increase its capacity.

Benefit
When the RTWP of a cell is high due to a large number of random accesses, Adaptive RACH helps to reduce the RTWP by 0.3 dB to 0.5 dB,
or increase the HSUPA throughput by about 5

Adaptive RACH Benchmarking
Good feature for Situations where multiple
UEs simultaneously initiate a random access
procedure; especially in an event.

Sustained accessibility
No degradation in major KPIs.

Conclusion/Way-Forward
All

major KPIs are found stable since implementation of feature on 17 th May.

It should also be noted that the cells U2KHI65062 & U2KHI65063 have been removed from benchmarking because
of
continuous availability issues on them.
Since the KPIs are stable since implementation, and the feature is already activated on 80% of the network, it is
recommended to retain the changes.
Scheduling
In order to ensure that maximum advantage is reaped out of the feature, parameter
changes are recommend in
relevant and complimenting parameters.

It is proposed to change RandomAccessCongestThd= from 50 to 30 && RandomAccessClearThd=from 30 to 20

It is also recommended to enable this feature for all new roll-out sites (or add it in the new-site parameter template)
