HSDPA load balancing between HSDPA layers

Load balancing between HSDPA layers can happen based on
Weight (CellWeightForHSDPALayering ) or
Based on weight and power (DisablePowerInHSDPALayeringDecision )
Load balancing is triggered after HSDPALayerLoadShareThreshold = 3

F1 = Weight 0.5
F2 = Weight 1

Most of HSDPA users
have moved to 2nd
