Phenomenon Description：
During the Drive Test in City Ham123 which was performed 7 – 10th of January, degraded value
of SINR was measured and low throughput was achieved.
Cause Analysis:
Overall the LTE performance in Hamburg has been improved
 Ham123 LTE user throughput speeds increased by 18%
 All 6 clusters now have average User DL Throughput > 10Mbps
 RSRP levels increased by 3%
 SINR levels increased 4%
 Improvements are not as high as desired due to difficulties encountered

Handling Process：
In addition to the RF optimization the following parameters have also been implemented
 Power boost off
o Reduce Reference Signal by 3dB.
o Applied to 21 LTE 800 cells
 SCH Power
o Decrease SCH power by 3dB
o Applied to all LTE 800 and LTE 2600 cells, except those cells where Power
Boost Off
 CQI reporting during Handover
o Increases throughput during Handover by reporting more accurate CQI when
handover event triggered
o Applied to all LTE 800 and LTE 2600 cells
 Adaptive BLER
o Increases throughput in areas with poor SINR / cell edge
o Applied to all LTE 800 and LTE 2600 cells

Suggestions and Summary：

18% improvement on DL user throughput
