If you work with UMTS,'ve probably heard someone talk about RTWP. Its Rate this Content definition can be found in a dictionary of acronyms, such as http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/RTWP: Received Total Wideband Power.

Represents a measure of UMTS technology: the total level of noise within the UMTS frequency band of any cell. RTWP is related to uplink interference, and its monitoring helps control the call drops - mainly CS. It also

has importance in the capacity management, as it provides information for the Congestion Control regarding Uplink Interference. In UMTS, the uplink interference may vary due to several factors, such as the number of users in the cell, the Service, Connection Types and Conditions of Radio, etc.. As our goal is to always be as simple as possible, we will not delve in terms of formulas or concepts involved. We will then know the typical values, and know what must be done in case of problems.

Typical Values
Ok, we know that RTWP can help us in checking the uplink interference, then we need to know its typical values. In a network is not loaded, normal, acceptable RTWP Average value is generally around -104.5 and 105.5 dBm.

Values around -95 dBm indicate that the cell has some uplink interferers. If the value is around -85 dBm, the situation is ugly, with strong uplink interferers. Usually we have High, Low and Medium measures of RTWP. However, the maximum and minimum values are recommended only as auxiliary or reference, since they may have been caused by a peak of access, or even been forced to have a momentary value due to some algorithm i.e.. Thus, the value that helps us, and has the most accurate information is the same Mean RTWP! For cases in which cell has two carriers, the difference between them RTWP should not exceed 6 dB.
Based on these typical values, most vendors have an alarm: RTWP "Very High. "
In cases where there may be external interference, we must begin to act after such a prioritization based on how much this is affecting the cell KPI's across the network, if it carry high traffic, major subscribers, etc.. Note: There are many forms of interference in the uplink, both internal and external. Only a few are listed above. The deepening of all possibilities is beyond the goal of being simple to teach the concepts, but this is a suggestion for whoever wants to deepen the study, identification and elimination of interference.

In practice
to find - and eliminate - problems of interference is one of the biggest challenges in our area. For being such a complex problem, we recommend that be collected enough data for each investigation. Insufficient data collected can lead to erroneous conclusions, further worsening the problem. The uplink interference may appear only in specific periods. Thus, it is recommended that data be collected from at least one week (7 days) for every 24 hours. Usually this amount of data is sufficient. In the figure below, we see different days and times - colorful - a fictional example where the interference occurred.
Data should be collected for the suspicious cell, but also for its adjacent cells, allowing it to make a triangulation increasing the chances of locating the source of interference. Another way to locate the source of interference is to do a test in field. An antenna guy must gradually change the azimuth of the antenna, while another professional do RTWP measurements. That is, through the information directing the antenna and the respective values of RTWP, you can draw conclusions very good. It is obvious that changing the online system may not be a good practice, and tests can be made with a Yagi antenna and a Spectrum Analyzer. Vendors offer several ways to measure RTWP, using the OSS, performance counters and logs.
Conclusion

In this brief tutorial, we learn what is RTWP, and that the ideal typical value is about -104.5 dBm and 105.5 dBm. As the RTWP is directly related to Uplink Interference - and we know that interference is the main cause of performance degradation - have concluded that improving RTWP, ie making is as close as possible to 105 dBm, improving the Call Drop Rate! IMPORTANT : Seizing the opportunity, see what was stated at the start of this tutorial - dictionary - by describing RTWP. Remember that this site has been the subject of a very interesting tutorial in the Tips Section. If you have not visited this section of the portal yet , I strongly recommend, because it has many issues that help in our growth in telecom and IT area.
