Summary
Purpose of trial :
To make comparison EcNo level when changing parameter
1. PCPICH Power
2. Total DL Power
Conclusion :
1.By increasing PCPICH from 330dBm to 360dBm :
RSCP is maintained
EcNo is slightly improve on some spot
2. Change MAXTXPOWER from 460dBm to 430dBm :
RSCP is slightly decreased at some spot
EcNo is slightly improved on some spots.
3.Best EcNo distribution (samples of >= -12 dB) found in 2nd scenario when CPICH set to 36
dBm while Max Tx Power set to 46 dBm (40W), equal to 10% proportion.
