HSDPA Call Weight (%)

Rate HSDPA/R99 traffic is higher in HSDPA (more calls in HSDPA). User is now more in HSDPA so it has a better perception than when being in R99. Around 80% of the PS calls are in HSDPA

HSDPA Drop Call Rate (%)

HSDPA DCR has been improved by around 25% since the first iteration (13th February) From 24th to 26th February several alarms were triggered (mainly transmission) Situation seems back to normal

AvgCpichEcno

In order to improve the HSDPA throughput the Average CPICH EcNo is being improved increasing the CPICH Power where it can be done. Quality in the RNC is expected to be improved
Optimi Corporation | February 2010 | CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL

ptxPrimaryCpich Average (dBm)

In average, ptxPrimaryCpich is being increased but only where no interference issues are going to be created

Bad EcIo Level (%)

EcIo level is also being improved since the first iteration

HSDPA Throughput (kbps)

Improvements in Avg CPICH EcNo still have not impacted an improvement in throughput but it is expected to happen in the next iterations

Inter-RAT Ho Rate (%)

Since the first iteration, a relevant less percentage of calls are being diverted to 2G. Therefore, the CS and PS traffic in 3G is being increased (see next slides)
Optimi Corporation | February 2010 | CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL

CS Traffic (Erl*hour)

More CS traffic is being served in 3G (around 7.5%) since the first iteration

PS Traffic (Erl*hour)

More PS traffic is being served in 3G (around 9%) since the first iteration

PS Drop Call Rate (%)

PS R99 DCR has increased (from around 0.78% to 0.92%). But the PS R99 calls are around 23% to 25% of the total. HSDPA calls are around 75% of the total then, and the HSDPA DCR has improved a lot there (from around 1.2% to 0.9%). So overall, we are in a much better situation.

Conclusions and next steps

More traffic is being handled in 3G More HSDPA traffic (total and compared to R99) is being served which creates a better user experience HSDPA DCR is being improved Avg CPICH EcNo is trying to be further improved so this has a direct impact in the quality and therefore HSDPA throughput A manual approach is not possible for this (e.g. increase CPICH in all the cells) as this will increase the interference
