Background
The parameter EHSPACMPermissionInd Indicates whether the compressed mode can be activated when an HSPA+ service is
in progress and whether an HSPA+ service can be set up when the compressed mode is active.
Disabled: HSPA+ -> RB RECONFIGURATION -> DCH -> start the compressed mode -> Hard handover -> RB
RECONFIGURATION -> to promote the DCH services to HSPA+ services
Enabled: HSPA+ -> start the compressed mode -> Hard handover -> HSPA+ or HHO Fail (if UE not supporting HSPA+ CM)
A minor HHO SR degradation observed ~0.2%. This means that, majority of UEs supporting HSPA+ CM. However, R99
traffic decreased as well in favor of HSPA traffic.

HLS compressed mode swapped to SF/2 method which is better for user throughput point of view
Interfreq SR minorly affected. Seems not all UE support HSPA+ compress mode.
