Abstract

L'invention porte sur un appareil et un procédé pour optimiser les rapports d'affaiblissement de propagation de cellules voisines de desserte (SNPL) afin de maximiser le débit HSUPA. Le procédé peut consister à produire un SNPL au niveau d'un équipement d'utilisateur; à optimiser le SNPL sur la base d'une valeur de réglage calculée par un algorithme d'optimisation SNPL; et à rapporter le SNPL optimisé à un réseau. Le procédé peut en outre consister à recevoir un rapport d'affaiblissement de propagation de cellules voisines de desserte (SNPL) d'un équipement utilisateur; à calculer un octroi de ressource pour l'équipement d'utilisateur sur la base du rapport de SNPL; et à transmettre l'octroi de ressource à l'équipement utilisateur.
