Coverage
Downlink RxLevel and Coverage Coverage of single cell Coverage of whole network
Coverage
Network Coverage is evaluated by: RxLev = EIRP(dBm) L(dB) Where: EIRP = Effective Isotropic Radiated Power L = Propagation Losses EIRP(dBm)
L(dB)
RxLev(dBm) Unexpected coverage (overshooting)
Good coverage
In urban area, Lower Antenna Height (<=25m), Greater downtilt (>=6 degree), and Lower EIRP (<=41 dBm) are used to control overshooting & interference.

Coverage(one cell)
The following example shows the downlink RxLevel(Dedicated Mode) decreases when MS is driving away from BTS.
Downtilt: 0 drgree
RxLevel
Downtilt: 8 drgree

Coverage(Network)
The picture shows the coverage of a city, which contains good and bad coverage areas. The distribution of downlink RxLev concentrates from -80 to -95 dBm.

Signal Strength of Serving cell make fast up and down due to far away server being blocked by obstacles from the terrain. The other way, signal from the server lose line of sight(LOS) to the mobile because of a hill of something.

Coverage Overlapping
Signal Level of 34 cells are too closed to each other. This might point overlapping cells. This will cause quality problems because of frequency reuse Immediate action to optimize cell coverage should be taken by by power reductions, downtilts or other configuration changes.

Overshooting
MS is covered by the serving cell, but is outside the cell BSC thinks that it is neighbour cell A and makes a handover to cell A The MS is not near cell A so the assigned TCH for the handover is not used Cell A will have unused TCH (handover) The call might be dropped because it cannot make the handover

Proposal
New Site Proposal
Remark
How to do
Using prediction tool(U-net) to identify the best locations to put new sites Using prediction tool(U-net) to identify the recommended azimuth of new sectors Using prediction tool(U-net) to identify the recommended height, type, azimuth or down tilt of sector.
Most effective solution, but the cost is highest Effective solution Sector Addition but only for Omni-Site Difficult, high cost Height Difficult, high cost Type Antenna Easy to operate Azimuth Downtilt Easy to operate Only for troubleshooting Feeders Hardware Connectors Only for troubleshooting Only for troubleshooting Jumpers
