good to see you are around.. The important thing is to understand the concept od EcNo and when we can call it bad quality ...
EcNo is RSCP/RssI and it is an indicator of potential bad quality but itself doesn't mean bad quality due to usage of power control...
when you are using HSDPA, the remaining cell power will be used for HSDPA (whatever is lnot used for R99) up to cell maximum power capability.. So RSSI will be higher to give you a sense and as a rough estimation I mention an example
imagine CPICH power is 32 dBm and maximum cell power is 46 dBm and EcNo will be worst than 32-46=-14 dB when HSDPA is used So does it mean EcNo around -14 dB is bad ??No... that is the nature of technology
so what you can do to improve the EcNo
1) reducing the cell overlapping
2) Reducing overshooting
3) slightly increasing CPICH power ( it is affecting the coverage and traffic and throughput)
4)limiting maximum allowed power for HSDPA ( it may decrease the throughput)
cheers
