UMTS PS RAB Congestion - Huawei

Do you use 2 carriers for 1 cell? If yes, check the Service Priority for RNC and cell.

Hi,
We have two carriers for one cell, How to check Service priority for RNC & cell?

[tharinduwije]

Go to RNC MML & in help tab type SPG (Service Priority Group).You can use DRD based load balancing with either serviced based or Load based Switch.We currently have two carriers configured with Service Priority.Best way to reduce Power congestion is Reduce Tilt or Deploy more carries.Take a TCP export (Total Cell Power) & see for which services most of the power has been used (AMR or HSDPA).Then you can adjust them accordingly.Power congestion Significantly impacts user throughput.

Hi everyone,

If you want to reduce pw congestion should verify the dedicate channel on RNC in fact, how many power does it have the DPCCH (dB). I changed to 4dB and it was succesfull. the pw congestion decreased. Be carefull and dont forget add reputation

SET UFRC: PilotPo=4;

PilotPo	Pilot power offset	Meaning: Transmit power offset of pilot bits to data bits in every timeslot for a downlink DPCCH frame. For details about this parameter, see 3GPP TS 25.214. This parameter is an advanced parameter. To modify this parameter, contact Huawei Customer Service Center for technical support. GUI Value Range: 0~24 Unit: 0.25dB Actual Value Range: 0~6 MML Default Value: None Recommended Value: 12 Parameter Relationship: None Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on the UE in idle mode) Impact on Network Performance: The smaller the value of this parameter: the lower the transmit power of pilot bits, the less accurate of the SIR assessment on the UE side, the greater the downlink DPCCH transmit power fluctuation, and the higher the downlink DPDCH mean power. The small parameter value also affects downlink cell capacity. The larger the value of this parameter, the higher the transmit power of pilot bits. The large parameter value also wastes downlink power resources and affects downlink cell capacity.
DlDpchSf256PilotBit	DL DPCH pilot bits of SF256	Meaning: This parameter specifies the number of DPCCH pilot bits in each timeslot used when the spreading factor for DL DPCH is 256, so as to determine the timeslot format. - The value D2 of this parameter corresponds to timeslot format 2 or 3. - The value D4 of this parameter corresponds to timeslot format 4 or 5. - The value D8 of this parameter corresponds to timeslot format 6 or 7. For details of this parameter, refer to the 3GPP TS 25.211. GUI Value Range: D2, D4, D8 Unit: bit Actual Value Range: 2, 4, 8 MML Default Value: None Recommended Value: D4 Parameter Relationship: None Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on the UE in idle mode) Impact on Network Performance: When this parameter is set to D8, the number of downlink DPCCH pilot bits increases. In this case, UEs can obtain more accurate SIRs but the transmit power of DPCCH pilots is high. To reduce the transmit power of these pilots, you can use a small pilot power offset for these pilots. By doing this, the downlink cell capacity increases. When this parameter is set to D2, the number of downlink DPCCH pilot bits decreases. In this case, UEs obtain less accurate SIRs and the transmit power of DPCCH pilots is low. To increase the transmit power of these pilots, you can use a large pilot power offset for these pilots. By doing this, the downlink cell capacity decreases.

Hi,

also check if you have any SCTP link congestion alarms on the sites, if yes then you have to tell transmission guys to expand the link.

hello tharinduwije,

how do i check which service uses the power? which counter will show this?
