FDD_Qmin defines minimum UMTS quality before UE can reselect from GSM to UMTS layer.

If the above condition is not satisfied, a UE will move from GSM to UMTS and immediately start monito
Furthermore frequent re-selections between UMTS and GSM can cause mobile terminating call failure

In case of poor 3G coverage and low call setup success rate you can check the parameter SSearchRAT
Also the cell offsets for the GSM cells can be adapted to prefer call setup on the 2G layer.

# HS-PDSCH: The HSPA throughput of a cell depends on The number of HS-PDSCH codes in The cell
# HS-PDSCH codes can be allocated in following modes:

# An HS-SCCH carries the information about the downlink HS-PDSCH allocated for each UE.

HS-DSCH
# HS-DSCHs are used to carry downlink user data
# Spreading factor of each HS-DSCH is fixed to 16

HS-SCCH

# HS-SCCHs are downlink shared channels

# Each HS-SCCH carries the information required for the UE to demodulate the HS-PDSCH, including U
# The spreading factor of each HS-SCCH is 128

HS-DPCCH
# HS-DPCCHs are uplink dedicated hannels
# The spreading factor is 256

Data Transmission on Physical Layer of HSPA+

1) If the setup of an HSPA+-enabled cell is supported, the BTS establishes downlink channels in terms

2) After an HSPA service is established, the UE continually measures the signal quality in the radio env
reports the CQI to the BTS through uplink HS-DPCCHs.
3) The UE continually monitors the downlink HS-SCCHs to check whether the data is sent to the UE.
4) After receiving the CQI, the BTS determines whether to send the data to the UE according to the CQ

Low Download Rate of HSPA Service

3)
4)

Check whether the UE supports high-rate download.

Check whether transmission bandwidth is limited.
Check whether the path configuration on the RNC is consistent with that on the Node B
For the HSPA+ service, it is recommended to adopt IP networking and configure sufficient bandwidt

Services Failing to Access HSPA Channels

2)
3)
4)

Check whether the UE supports the service.

Check whether the registered rate of the SIM card is correct.
Check whether the initial rate reaches the rate threshold of HSPA channels.
Run the DSP CELL command on the RNC to check whether the HSPA service of related cells is availa

For The HSDPA Speed

# As you know HSDPA supports max of 21.1 mbps in case of 64 QAM support so at the same you shou
# Should have at least 11 E1(2*11=22 Mbps) so that throughput will not degrade due to transmission

Usually soft handover failures are caused by 4 reasons as below:
1. Missing the neighbor cells
2. Pilot pollution problem
3. Some algorithm parameters were configured unreasonable
4. Equipment problem.

# A typical handover process is: measurement control --> measurement report --> handover deci
UE, measured cells are divided into the following three types:
1) Active set cells: Cells in an active set communicate with the UE simultaneously.

2) Monitored set cells: Among the cells included in the adjacent cell list delivered by the RNC, som
3) Detected set cell: Detected set cells refer to those cells detected by the UE itself, rather than the

Intra-Frequency Measurement

1) Event 1A: A primary pilot channel enters the reporting range

In measurement report mechanism field, requires the UE to report event 1A while the UE has entere
2) Event 1B: A primary pilot channel leaves the reporting range
3) Event 1C: The primary pilot channel in a non active set is better than the primary pilot channel in

# In this example, the cells where P CPICH 1, P CPICH 2 and P CPICH 3 are belong to an active set, wh
# This event is used to replace the poor cells in the active set, if the number of cells in the active set

1) Idle mode wil be pushed on F1

F1 to F2 (colo) --> IdleQoffset = 50 (make it hard)
F2 to F1 (colo) --> IdleQoffset = -50 (make it easy)
IndleSintersearch F2 = 10
IndleSintersearch F1 = -3
2) HSDPA Call Setup
- F1 Colo --> Blind HO set true
- F1 Colo --> use DR algorithm to setup HSDPA call on F2 (DRD Ecno Threshold sett to -14)
- F1 HSDPA switch off, F2 HSDPA switch on
3) To avoid CS traffic in F1 ---> CS CM make it higher (CELLINTERFREQHOCOV)
4) To more push HSDPA traffic in F2 ---> Allocation mode using Manual
