Trial Increase PCPICH Reduce Total DL Power

This document summarizes a trial conducted to test the effects of increasing the common pilot channel power (CPICH) and decreasing the maximum transmit power. The trial involved drive tests before and after: 1) increasing CPICH power from 33dBm to 36dBm and 2) decreasing maximum transmit power from 46dBm to 43dBm after reverting CPICH power. Results showed that increasing CPICH power slightly improved EcNo on some spots while maintaining RSCP, and decreasing maximum power slightly improved EcNo on some spots while slightly decreasing RSCP on others. The best distribution of EcNo samples above -12dB was found when CPICH was set to 36dBm and maximum power was 46dBm.

Summary
Purpose of trial :
To make comparison EcNo level when changing parameter
1. PCPICH Power
2. Total DL Power
Conclusion :
1.By increasing PCPICH from 330dBm to 360dBm :
RSCP is maintained
EcNo is slightly improve on some spot
2. Change MAXTXPOWER from 460dBm to 430dBm :
RSCP is slightly decreased at some spot
EcNo is slightly improved on some spots.
3.Best EcNo distribution (samples of >= -12 dB) found in 2nd scenario when CPICH set to 36
dBm while Max Tx Power set to 46 dBm (40W), equal to 10% proportion.
