One reason for resource limitation is number of 3G user increase, and operator changing fee decrease also lead to the increase of average erlang. For example HK user average erlang cold be up to 0.5E.
The other reason is the strategy for NW design is focus on user feeling and KPI but not system capacity.

modify reserve HSDPA power
According to system algorithm MinHsdpaPower ( MinHspaPwrRto ) +NoHsPower >Node B
admission threshold ( MinHsdpaPower stands for HSDPA reserved power ), DL congestion control will start (downgrade DL DCH rate) 。
MinHspaPwrRto default value is 20% , HK P project is 10% before cut over
fast downgrade speed
Because high load cell often be with high admission failure, normally we should fast downgrade to release radio resource ASAP. Avoid handover user could not handover in the cell then call dropped.(this action is only take effect in cell with much more PS users, if all users in the cell is in CS service. It will not take effect).

Table showed P project record for the modification, and can be consider as the reference. ZTE engineering experience showed downgrade Eb/No for 13.6K signaling channel could reduce TCP limitation effectively, while the performance of Access will not be affect so much.

Through modify HSDPA reserve power and downgrade speed, Rejection rate for TCP limited decrease 50%.
Through B class parameter modification, TCP limited time decrease to 10%.

UL capacity limitation
Call drop rate increasing not means UL capacity limitation, but call drop increasing is the most common scene for limitation. Because call drop rate is most cared KPI, and be observed every day.
HK UCE site call drop rate
RTWP increasing is the most directly representation for UL limitation, while sometimes reason for RTWP increasing could be external interference. And it’s hard to eliminate this reason.

VIP cell optimization for UL capacity
Through UL power control parameter optimization we can improve RTWP increasing, but some cells will be in trouble for user increasing. And further
modification to SIRtarget will affect subscriber feeling. For this case ZTE suggest to define another set of power control parameter
which is special for these high load cells. The following table is comparison of parameters for special site and parameters for normal site.

Code resource KPI monitor and optimization :
Through observing "Number of rejected services, DCH no code” we could know cell is in code limitation. Also “average code resource usage” and “HSDPA user number” could be factor for determination and optimization. We could modify the code allocation to reduce code limitation.
OcuRateNoHspdsch + OcuRateHspdsch + DpchCodeHy + 32 <= 512 formula 1
OcuRateNoHspdsch + OcuRateHspdsch + CodeUptHyA > 512 formula 2
“OcuRateHspdsch” is the number of code (SF=512) which is blocked by the code occupied by HS-PDSCH channel
“OcuRateNoHspdsch” is the number of code (SF=512) which is blocked by the code occupied by not HS-PDSCH channel
“DpchCodeHy” is the number of code (SF=512) reserved for DPCH channel, “CodeUptHyA” is the threshold to determine if we need decrease HS-PDSCH channel number.
When formula1 is fulfilled NO. of HS-PDSCH +1; When formula 2 is fulfilled NO. of HS-PDSCH -1.
To assure R99 user accessibility, the modification is apply to P project.
