Impact of Pilot Pollution on SHO Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soft handovers are an essential part of a WCDMA network functionality. Taking full advantage of SHOs requires careful setting of parameters. In addition, state of the network affects the performance of SHO algorithm. Pilot pollution, i.e., too many hearable pilots, can make it difficult for SHO algorithm to perform properly, and DL transmit power as well as signalling capacity can be wasted for poor decisions and unnecessary active set updates. In addition to simulations, field measurements have been carried out in a pre-commercial WCDMA network, where also the effect of different downtilting scenarios has been studied. The behavior of SHO algorithm has been evaluated in pollution free and pilot polluted areas. The target of the paper is to show how pilot pollution disturbs a UE from making reasonable proposals for active set updates, how pilot pollution problem can be reduced, and network performance improved by increasing antenna downtilt.

The Impact of Short-Selling Pressure on Corporate Employee Relations
We show that randomly-selected Reg SHO pilot firms respond to increased threats of short selling by significantly improving their employee relations. Pilot firms enhance employee security to reduce the likelihood of negative announcements that might attract short-selling interest. Consistent with expectations, we find that the largest employee-relation improvements occur among pilot firms that ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Effect of Number of Lifters on Performance of Pilot-Scale SAG Mills Using Discrete Element Method
The number of lifters of mill shell liners, mill rotation speed, and filling percentage of grinding media are three of the most important parameters influencing the charge behavior and the trajectory of ball motion inside the SAG mills, and consequently, their performance. In this paper, the milling operation of pilot-scale SAG mills using the discrete element method (DEM) is investigated. Firs...
متن کاملImpact of Pollution Location on Time and Frequency Characteristics of Leakage Current of Porcelain Insulator String under Different Humidity and Contamination Severity
One of the important factors influencing outdoor insulators performance is pollution phenomenon. The pollution, especially during humidity condition, reduces superficial resistance of insulator and lead to a flow of Leakage Currents (LC) on the insulator surface, which may result in total flashover. The LC characteristics are affected by parameters such as nature and severity of pollution. Loca...
متن کاملIt’s SHO Time! Short-Sale Price Tests and Market Quality
We examine the effects of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-mandated temporary suspension of short-sale price tests for a set of Pilot securities. While shortselling activity increases both for NYSEand Nasdaq-listed Pilot stocks, returns and volatility at the daily level are unaffected. NYSE-listed Pilot stocks experience more symmetric trading patterns and a slight increase in sprea...
