When there is only R99 service in the cellPrx threshold is Prxtarget+PrxOffset
(12+4=16dB). If R99 service is full load and an new HSUPA service want to be
activated in the cell, now Prx threshold is changed to PrxMaxTargetBTS(16dB).
Prxtarget+PrxOffset= PrxMaxTargetBTS.
if PrxTarget has been set high to allow for long term increases in uplink interference
then there is more danger that UE are allocated HSUPA but are not able to transfer
any data.

1. PrxMaxTargetBTS> Prxtarget+PrxOffset, 2dB for new UPA.
2. PrxTargetPSMax is reduced by 3dB, which gives more power for HSUPA when
there is both HSPA & R99 service in the cell.

Time delay of HSUPA PDP active to transfer first data
----optimization compare

PrxMaxTargetBTS should be greater than PrxTarget+PrxOffset and PrxTargetPS. So
when the RNC is scheduling as much resource as it is allowed for R99 connections,
there is still some resource available for the Node B to schedule HSUPA. However, if
PrxTarget has been set high to allow for long term increases in uplink interference then
there is more danger that UE are allocated HSUPA but are not able to transfer any
data.

Ptx parameters optimization to improve EcNo+CQI-MPO
---Reported CQI & NSN implementation
Measurement power offset, I is the default power offset between HS-PDSCH and P-
CPICH. Measurement power offset is signaled to the UE when HS-DSCH MAC-d flow is
set-up or if updating is needed due to serving HS-DSCH cell change.


Ptx_Allowed HSDPA is calculated as follows:


Pmax is the cell maximum output power
Ptx_non_HSPA is the latest received PtxNonHSPA measurement.
The PtxMaxHSDPA parameter defines the maximum allowed HSDPA transmission power.
GammaFactor is an RNC-internal (hidden) parameter which has an actual value of 0.5.
Based on formulas above, half of the available HSDPA power is signalled to UE. CQI
value reported by UE is then 3 less than it should be based on actual available power
However, this impact only reported CQI values and has no negative impact to final
performance as BTS make decision (about TBS) based on compensated CQI (by knowing
how much power there is actually available for HSDPA)

Ptx parameters optimization to improve EcNo+CQI-MPO
---CQI
Reported CQI Reported by UE, this is the CQI we can capture from drive test
logs and counter stats.
Legacy UEs are reporting CQI values from 0-30
MIMO UEs are reporting both CQI type A (from 0-14) and B (from 0-30)
BTS decides transport block size based on compensated CQI

Compensated CQI BTS link adaption compensates CQI (based on internal
algorithm) for differences between assumed HS-PDSCH transmit power and
actual available HS-PDCH transmit power by targeting 10% HARQ
retransmission rate
Compensated CQI can have values from 1-35
It is not possible to capture compensated CQI values from drive test logs and
counters stats

In CUC 3rd party audit, the CQI in CQI-MPO is Report CQI
