High SDCCH Drop Yes Is TASR low? No Hardware issue suspected. Analyze 208 & 196 to track the specific hardware issue. Also check if the target cell

is having VSWR alarm or not

RF Issues suspected
Ye Is there any Co-BCCH & BSIC scenario? s No Is UL quality bad & DL quality good? No Is DL quality bad & UL quality good? No i.e both UL & DL quality are bad. Yes Propose TMA Check 232 , is no. of samples high for 0-3 kms ? No Check Rx level report, is samples >-90dbm high in no.? Ye s It can have interference issues, check frequency and hopping plan, remove co-channel & Adjchannel cases. Also optimize the cases of overshooting cells. No Yes Change the BSIC or BCCH of such cells.

Yes

Check its RXP & propose down tilt.

There can be coverage issue. Boost the signal level by installing repeaters or proposing infill sites.

High TCH drop

Is frequency and hopping plan proper?

No

Remove all co-channel &

possible adj-channels. Ensure

proper MAL, MAIO & MS settings.

Yes

No Check TCH drop due to transcoder failure. If the tch_tr counter is high for a specific cell then check its time slot mapping. And if it is high for a no. of cells then check the health of transmission media. Are All Neighbors properly defined. Yes Check if NCC,BCC, BCCH, LAC & Sync are correctly defined.

Define all the relevant cells as neighbors. Rectify all one way neighbor definitions.
