CAPACITY MANAGEMENT
3G Load monitoring & expansion is more complex as compared to 2G.
Its capacity is not only constrained by the hard resources such as the CE and Iub configuration bandwidth,
but also constrained by the soft resources such as the OVSF code, uplink interference, and downlink power.
UMTS may use the hybrid carrier strategy of R99+HSPA. R99 and HSPA share the system resources, making it
more complex to monitor the capacity of R99 and HSPA.
This document provides suggestions to monitoring major indicators for Load & perform the required
expansion after exhausting all optimization activities.

Optimization Activities
DL Power Congestion:
Radio Remote Unit is supporting 80Ws per sector. Max transmission Power is being increased
to cater blocking issues.
UL Noise Rise/RTWP:
With increasing users, UL interference is increasing. In order to control UL interference during
high load times, Load adaptive Power control is being taken into account to reduce UL SIR,
EbNo targets for each services to accommodate multiple users possible.
CE Congestion:
In TP network, very few cells are contributing to CE congestion and high capacity CE cards shall
be installed if required.
CC card Congestion:
URA PCH/Fast dormancy shall be enabled+ Ping pongs related IRAT reselections must be
controlled.
