<h3>Effect of compressed mode on WCDMA coverage and capacity</h3>

<p>The effects of compressed mode can be characterised in
two groups as shown in figure <em>Compressed mode tuning and
control mode</em>, when analysing the compressed mode characteristics the
two splits should be studied independently and extensively for their performance
effects.</p>

<p>It is important to have an analytical estimate of the possible
degradation of capacity and coverage in an area where compressed mode is implemented.
As the planning tools do not explicitly analyse the effects of possible increase
of interference and loading levels when the UEs are in CM. The effect of reduced
capacity or coverage are the by-products of the method applied for the compressed
mode.</p>
