The document lists important optimization parameters for Ericsson including parameters related to system configuration, capacity management, directed retry, handover, HSDPA/EUL, IRAT, and idle mode selection and reselection. It provides descriptions of over 50 parameters that control aspects such as power levels, admission limits, thresholds for cell reselection, and criteria for measurements.

1. Ericsson Important Optimization Parameters
Here i attached some Ericsson Important Optimization Parameters,
System Configuration
primaryCpichPower: Parameter that controls the power level of the Primary
CPICH.
maximumTransmissionPower: Parameter that can be used to limit the total DL
power in a cell to a value lower than DL power capability of the RBS.
maxTxPowerUl: Used in UE functions for cell selection/ re-selection in idle mode
and connected mode and also used by UTRAN to control the maximum
transmitted power level a UE can use.
Capacity Management
compModeAdm: Absolute admission limit for the number of radio links in
compressed mode in a cell.
dlCodeAdm: Parameter that defines in percentage the absolute admission limit
for DL code usage
pwrAdm: Parameter that defines in percentage the absolute admission limit for
DL power utilization.
sf8Adm: Defines the absolute admission limit for the number of RLs with SF=8
(PS384) in DL.
sf16Adm: Defines the absolute admission limit for the number of RLs with
SF=16 (PS128 RAB) in DL.
sf32Adm: Defines the absolute admission limit for the number of RLs with
SF=32 (PS64) in DL.
sf4AdmUl: Absolute admission limit for the number of RLs with SF=4 in UL
(PS384/HS)
sf8AdmUl: Defines the absolute admission limit for the number of RLs with
SF=8 in UL.
sf16AdmUL: Parameter that defines absolute admission limit for the number of
RLs with SF=16 in UL.
Directed Retry
loadSharingDirectedRetryEnabled: An RNC-wide flag for turning on the feature.
directedRetryTarget: UA cell specific parameter that specifies the Directed Retry
target in terms of a cell reference to an external GSM cell.
loadSharingGSMThreshold: A cell specific parameter that specifies the load
sharing threshold below which Directed Retry to GSM is suppressed.
loadSharingGSMFraction: A cell specific parameter that specifies the fraction of
qualified speech calls to be diverted to GSM.
Handover
maxActiveSet: Maximum number of cells allowed in the Active Set.
IndividualOffset: Offset value which can be assigned to each cell. It is added to
the measurement quantity before the UE evaluates whether or not an event has

2. occurred. It can either be positive or negative value.
measQuantity1: Defines the measurement quantity for intra-frequency
reporting evaluation. Default is EcNo.
hsQualityEstimate: Indicates whether Ec/No or RSCP should be used for
indicating "best cell" for HS-DSCH Cell Change. Default is RSCP.
reportingRange1a: Relative threshold referred to the CPICH of the best cell in
the Active Set used as evaluation criteria for event 1a (a primary CPICH enters
the reporting range).
reportingRange1b: Relative threshold referred to CPICH of the best cell in the
Active Set used as evaluation criteria for event 1b (a primary CPICH leaves the
reporting range).
reportingInterval1a: Time between periodic reports at event-triggered periodic
reporting for event 1a
timeToTrigger1a: If event 1a condition is fulfilled during at least a time greater
than or equal to timeToTrigger1a milliseconds, then event 1a occurs.
timeToTrigger2dEcno: If event 2d condition is fulfilled during at least a time
greater than or equal to timeToTrigger2dEcno milliseconds, then event 2d
occurs
HSDPA/EUL
numHsPdschCodes: Parameter that defines the number of codes allocated in a
call only for HS-PDSCH (SF 16).
maxNumHsPdschCodes: Defines the maximum number of HS-PDSCH codes that
may be allocated in a cell.
hsdpaUsersAdm: Cell parameter that defines the admission limit for the number
of users assigned to the HS-DSCH. Applicable to admission requests related to
RAB setup of an HSDPA service.
maxNumHsdpaUsers: Limits the maximum allowed number of simultaneous
HSDPA users per cell that can be served.
eulServingCellUsersAdm: Defines the admission limit for the number of EUL
users having the cell as serving cell.
eulNonServingCellUsersAdm: Cell parameter that defines the admission limit foe
the number of EUL users having the cell as non-serving cell.
hsdschInactivityTimer: Time during which throughput has to be low in order to
trigger a down-switch (dedicated to common state) for a UE in state DCH/HS or
in state EUL/HS.
IRAT
usedFreqThresh2dRscp: Threshold for event 2d (the estimated quality of the
currently used WCDMA RAN frequency is below a certain threshold) based on
RSCP measurements.

currently used WCDMA RAN frequency is below a certain threshold) based on
EcNo measurements..

3. used WCDMA RAN frequency is below a certain threshold and the estimated
quality of the GSM system is above a certain threshold) for GSM.
