RF REASONS

Poor DL/UL Coverage Strong DL/UL Interference

Solutions: Solutions:
• Adjust Azimuth • Implement more tilt
• Adjust down tilt • CPICH Power Reduction
• Add repeaters • Chase External Interference
• Add micro cells • Solve UL Line Physical Problem
• Reduce CPICH Power • Check PSC

Lack of Dominance
Missing Neighbours
Solutions:
Solutions:
• Establish a best server /
• Add relations
