Generally, the call drop is caused by neighbor cell missing during the early phase of
optimization. For the intra-frequency neighbor cells, you can use the following methods to
determine whether the call drop is caused by intra-frequency neighbor cell missing.
Method 1: Check the EcIo information about cells in the active set recorded by the UE and
the Best Server EcIo information recorded by the Scanner. If the EcIo recorded by the UE
is poor and the Best Server EcIo recorded by the Scanner is good, check whether the Best
Server scrambling code recorded by the Scanner is included in the intra-frequency
measurement control. If the scrambling code is not included, you can infer that the call drop
is caused by the neighbor cell missing.
Method 2: If the UE reconnects to the network immediately after the call drop and the cell
scrambling code used during the reconnection of the UE is inconsistent with that used
during the call drop, the call drop may be caused by the neighbor cell missing. You can
confirm the cause through the measurement control. The neighbor cell missing, including
the inter-frequency neighbor cell missing and the inter-RAT neighbor cell missing can result
in call drop.
Method 3: Adopt the Nastar neighbor cell analysis function to check whether the neighbor
cell missing problem exists.
Method 4: Enable the measurement analysis detection set (RNC detection set) to report 1A
event.
Generally, poor coverage implies that both the RSCP and EcIo are poor. You
can confirm the coverage problem by checking the transmit power of
uplink/downlink special channels through the following methods:
If the uplink transmit power reaches the maximum value before the call drop
and the uplink BLER is poor or the single user tracing recorded by the RNC
suggests that Node B reports RL failure, you may infer that the call drop is
caused by poor uplink coverage. If the downlink transmit power reaches the
maximum value before the call drop and the downlink BLER is poor, you may
infer that the call drop is caused by poor downlink coverage.
You can also confirm the coverage problem through the following simple and
direct method:
Check the data collected by the Scanner. If both the RSCP and EcNo of the
best cell are poor, you can determine that the poor coverage results in the call
drop.
For the downlink, if the CPICH RSCP is greater than -85 dB and the EcIo is smaller than -
13 dB, the call drop tends to occur. This may be caused by downlink interference.
For the uplink, if the RTWP is 10 dB greater than the normal value (-104 to -105), there
may be a call drop. This is caused by pilot pollution.

Call drop
location
The call drop occurs on the SC314 cell, the coverage edge of the 3G network. Before the call drop, the
UE measurement suggests that the No.314 cell is only included in the active set rather than the
monitored set; the RSSI is low; the SIR is negative; the transmit power of the UE reaches the maximum.
The Ec/Io measured by the UE and that measured by the scanner shows the same
degradation trend.
The RSCP measured by the UE and that measured by the scanner shows the same
degradation trend.
As shown in this figure, the call drop does not occur at the edge of the 3G
network coverage area.
The call drop occurs in the area where the best cell changes rapidly.
Before the call drop, the Ec/Io measured by the UE is decreased to lower than
-21 dB, whereas the Ec/Io measured by the scanner is still above -11 dB.
Before the call drop, the best cell measured by the UE is the SC009 cell, whereas the best
cell measured by the scanner is the SC018 cell. After the call drop, the UE camps on the
SC018 cell rapidly.
Before the call drop, the SC018 cell is not measured in the monitored set of the UE. The
neighbor relation is found to be defined in the neighbor list. Therefore, the possible call
drop cause is that the best cell changes rapidly from the SC009 cell to the SC011 cell and
SC018 cell, and thus the UE fails to perform the soft handoff timely.
The SC018 cell is not the best cell here. Serious cross coverage exists in the SC018 cell.
Upon the call drop, the RSCP is over -75 dBm. Therefore, you must increase the down tilt
of the SC018 cell, control the coverage, and optimize the primary cell of the call drop
location.

2. RF optimization phase
Evaluation before the optimization
During the evaluation phase, check the drive test results for call drop rate indexes and
learn about the call drop rate of the entire network according to the measurement
analysis.
In this phase, emphasize on and differentiate call drops caused by poor coverage,
interference, or untimely handoff. In addition, the call drops caused by the untimely
handoff should be taken into account.
RF optimization
The emphasis of this phase is to check whether call drops are caused by the poor
coverage or strong interference. Check whether such call drop problems can be
solved by adjusting engineering parameters of the antenna. In addition, call drops
caused by the untimely handoff should be taken into account. Check whether the
corner or pinpoint effect can be avoided by adjustment of the antenna.
