we performed two Drive test measurements under the same BTS (3 cells) the first one on BH GPRS and the second one outside (away from BH CS) and the results are the following:
– BH GPRS: FTP Thr Decrease by 50kbits/s!!! + increase of 1 TS usage!
-BH CS: MCS9 usage decrease and HTTP Browsing Transfer Th decrease
Yes, at the busy hour, the distribution of TCH, PDCH and GCH (on Abis) is very dynamic. The situations you are experiencing are normal, I think. Reducing the thr is a way to better share the resources with other users.
