2004-8-10 Rev PA1 Content EDGE impacts KPIs Interference Mobility Capacity Frequency Hopping in EGPRS Output power for GMSK and 8PSK The main bottleneck in todays networks Lack of PS cell capacity is the main reason for lower performance in most GPRS/EGPRS networks today. If the CS domain and the PS domain can be separated as much as possible, they will affect eachother to a minimum. =This means that PDCH preemptions as well as failed PDCH allocation attempts are keept to a minimum, improving the capacity situation for PS. Separating CS and PS Dedicated PS on CHGR Risk for ICHO from CHGR1 to CHGR0 may preempt on demand Configuration aspectsOptimise the capacity available for CS AND PS GPRS/EGPRS RN BSS KPIs Structure of Indicators – BSS R10 IP throughput - method IP Throughput – in PCU IP Throughput – in STS Impact of Small TBF When we have poor performance, the next step is to go into each problem area for optimization! Interference Interference retransmission related causes Result of Interference Radio Link Quality Statistics (Downlink) Radio Link Quality Statistics (Uplink) Check List for Interference Review Mobility Cell ReSelections The mobility is as earlier mentioned not the main cause of performance degradation, still important for tuning activities. Ping pong RA, Non-EDGE capable cells, Ping pong CRS. Statistics as well as drive test data can be used for analysis Traffic steering GPRS/EGPRS End-to-End PerformanceReducing the impacts from CRS Cell Reselection Long application outage (~15 sec) when changing LA/RA or BSC = Larger hysteresis on LA/RA/BSC border Shorter application outage (~4 sec) for intra LA/RA/BSC CRS. =Smaller hysteresis within LA/RA/BSC CRH in bordercells = 6 dB CRH in innercells = 4 dB C1/C2 usagePossibilities to steer the GPRS/EGPRS traffic HCS UsageMicro limitations Idle mode serving area = PS might be small in micro Fewer TCHs in micro – higher congestion or lower trunking efficiency then macro cel
