DL PRB Utilization Summary

•Average DL PRB utilization increased from 23.2% to 28.4% by 5.2%.

•Sum of DL traffic volume increase from 3243 GB to 3381 GB, increase by +4.2%.
•Average Cell DL Throughput increased from 14.5 Mbps to 16.5 Mbps, improved by 13.4%.
•Average User DL Throughput increased from 12.7 Mbps to 17.1 Mbps, improved by 34.96%.

DL PRB utilization after swap increased by ~5%, along with increased in Cell/User Throughput and Traffic.
