Throughput performance is very dynamic and depends on variety of factors and has a
huge dependency on user behavior.
As we know, we have high traffic from social-network applications which are bursty in
nature and generally very small in size.
At the same time, we have to cater to apps with high data requirement or high
background data requirement in general.
Therefore it is necessary to asses what kind of users dominate in a
city/cluster/eNodeB or even a cell, depending on the network element we are trying
to troubleshoot.
Next comes the radio conditions in either direction and then the capacity crunch that
can vary from node to node.
DT based throughput troubleshooting is little more obvious and easier compared to OSS
based troubleshooting. This is because the big factor of user behavior is ruled and the
DT UE is generally performing heavy downloads or uploads.
Also, the radio conditions are easier to study at-least for downlink and partially for
uplink.
One of the bigger challenges with DT based throughput acceptance is achieving peak
throughput and again variety of factors can influence the performance.
So, the primitive checks should be that the UE and FTP servers are functioning normally.
The detailed techniques will be discussed in forthcoming slides.

If the buffer size throughout the traces is found to be low, then that means the requirement itself is low
and we cannot get higher values of throughput. If higher value of BSRs are observed then go to next step.

Power headroom indicates how much transmission power left for a UE to use in addition to the power being
used by current transmission. If the values are negative or close to Zero, indicates not much power is
available with the UEs and bigger TBS allocations are not possible, as higher power would be required for
that.
