efficient UL PS

2. Decrease of the UL load by decrease of the initial R99 SIR

 2. Decrease of the UL load by decrease of the initial R99 SIR

• It was known that the default initial SIR targets are set to conservative values
- Due to slow OLPC convergence this leads to an excessive UL load during the first seconds of
the call
• All R99 initial SIR targets decreased by 2 dB
- HSDPA R99 return channel SIR by further 3 dB
