! Cell Level analysis
! Conclusions
! Parameters alignment
• Cell level parameters aligned to operator’s default settings.
• BSC parameter alignment did not highlight major discrepancies.
• Although BSC Exchange properties showed features active on some
BSC and not others.
! Correction of configuration errors
• The consistency checking tool function within CNA was used to identify
the configuration errors, examples of errors corrected:
• 1-way neighbours,
• incorrect cell definitions,
• BCCH BSIC clashes.
Investigation areas:
! Cell-pair handover performance
! Interference Rejection Combining
! BSC Dimensioning issues
! BTS Power Control
! Measurement Result Recording (MRR) historical analysis
! Impact of 3G traffic on 2G DCR
• IRC was enabled on poor UL quality cells, up to 20% DCR improvement seen
• Operator decided to rollout optional feature network wide
! Down regulation can occur in the bad quality area if the signal strength is high.
! How much this will affect the quality of the network depends on how often the served traffic with bad
quality has high signal strength.
! MRR can help identify traffic with this type of characteristic (bad quality and high signal strength)
! Objective: reduce the amount of down regulations in the bad quality area.
! Higher QCOMP makes the algorithm more aggressive for connections with good quality.
! This can be explained by the frequency re-use distance being short in the area and thereby a
higher risk for radio interference.
