BLOCK A

Task
To identify area where RSCP is less than 95 dBm and to optimize the coverage of that
affected area
Reason
Area where RSCP is less than 95 dBm and poor Ec/No value would be consider coverage
problematic area or has poor coverage
This would lead to call set up failure, HO failure, drop call and degradation to the PS
throughput
Items required for analysis
RSCP and Ec/No plots for best server on map
Plot of RSCP vs Ec/No to have quick understanding of the problem
Measurement log files
Solution
Up-tilting, panning and height of antenna changes
Increase CPICH power
Antenna type changing to a higher gain
Check missing neighbors
Use NetAct to check coverage prediction by changing the inputs of the site
Use the MapInfo/UMTS tool for antenna tilting to estimate coverage improvement (optional)

BLOCK B

Tasks
To identify area which RSCP > -95 dBm but Ec/No < -10 dB and to optimize the affected area
Reasons
In this area problems are more on the dominance and pilot pollution
This would lead to call set up failure, HO failure, drop call and degradation to the PS
throughput
Items required for analysis
Plots of Ec/No and RSCP for best server on map
Plots of Ec/No of each scrambling in the affected area
Plots RSCP vs Ec/No
Measurement log files
Solution
Down-tilting, panning and antenna height changes
Increase CPICH of serving cell, decrease CPICH of interfering cells
Check for missing neighbors
Check co-scrambling code
Change antenna type to lower gain

BLOCK C
Task
To identify the 4th best server is < 6dB to the reference of best server
and optimize the area
Reasons
To meet the KPI
Too many best servers would cause unnecessary HO
Wasting resources (hardware channels, Iub capacity etc)
Item required for analysis
Measurement log file
Solution
Down-tilting, panning and antenna height changed
Increase CPICH of serving cell, decrease CPICH of interfering cells
Use MapInfo/UMTS to generate the percentage
Antenna type change to lower gain

IuB INTERFACE(1)
AAL2 connections are allocated and released by ATM Resource Management which will
check AAL2 reservation using CAC. M550 measurement reports RNC CAC resource usage
for Iub AAL2 user plane traffic downlink

In RAS06, the new ATM Interface measurement (M532) gives indication of the ATM interface
traffic load by reporting the traffic volumes and the bandwidth available for a specific interface.
The measurement can also be used to detect interfaces that are congested and cause traffic
loss. Congestion can be detected by following the number of ATM cells going in and coming
out from the interface.

Common Call Performance

Issues
Behaviour

Problem

Description

Possible solutions

Call set-up failure & Call

drop

Poor coverage area

If problem is poor coverage,

this means poor RSCP
(<-95 dBm) thus also the
EcNo degrades very
rapidly (< -12 dB) when
the coverage border is
reached.

Check Antenna line installation (antenna position and

quality, cable length and quality). Check that
CPICH powers are balanced between the
studied cells. Check presence of shadowing
obstacles. Add a site to the area.

Call set-up failure & Call

drop

Poor dominance area.

No main server in the area, too

many cells with weak
CPICH level. CPICH
EcNo is usually very bad
even the RSCP is good
e.q. RSCP 80-90
dBm but EcNo about 10
dB

Use buildings and other environmental structures to

isolate cell(s) coverage. Down tilt antennas to
make cells dominant and limit effects of
interfering cell(s). Check antenna bearing. Add
a site.

Call set-up failure & Call

drop

Pilot Pollution

Bad CPICH Ec/Io (<-12 dB)

level although CPICH
RSCP level is good.
High site in the
neighbourhood may
cause interference.

Find interfering cell from Scanner results. Adjust

antenna bearing and down tilt or lower the
antenna height (too much tilt will break the
dominance). Add interfering cell to the
neighbour of the serving cell.

Missing neighbour

A good usable neighbour is

present within cells
coverage area, can
cause DL interference if
it is not in the active set.
Swapped sectors in
WBTS.

Check scanner data and look for missing neighbours.

Check the cabling in antenna line.

Dropped call/SHO failure

Common Call Performance

Issues
Behaviour

Problem

Description

Possible solutions

Call set-up failure & Call

drop

High PrxTotal due to

UL External
interference

The PrxTotal level is

significantly higher than
expected in no/low load
conditions.

Try to figure the possible area/direction of the

interference by checking PrxTotal level on
neighbouring cells. Alternatively use spectrum
analyser & directive antenna to locate
interferer. Inform operator/regulator about the
found conditions.

Call set-up failure & Call

drop

High PrxTotal due to

wrong MHA
settings

The PrxTotal level is

significantly higher than
expected in no/low load
conditions.

In case of MHA is used in BTS check MHA and

cables loss parameters, otherwise PrxTotal
value will be too high. (If MHA parameter is set
to ON, Cable loss parameter is used, Cable
loss = Real MHA gain = Feeder loss
parameter)

Call set-up failure & Call

drop

High Prxtotal due to

Installation
problems

The PrxTotal level is

significantly higher than
expected in no/low load
conditions.

Check the antenna installation as the last alternative

in high PrxNoise case.

Cell set-up failure

Bad RRC connection

set-up success
rate due to slow
Ue cell
reselection

RRC connection set-up

complete message not
heard by BTS.

Set parameters so that reselection process will start

earlier: Qqualmin, Sintrasearch and Qhyst2 as
per latest recommendation

Long call set-up time

Long time interval for

sync between
RNC and BTS
before
connection

The value of Parameter N312

is too high: maximum
number of in sync
indications received from
L1 during the
establishment of a
physical channel

Use smaller value N312 (2, recommendation is

4).Use call set-up time optimisation feature
Dynamic setting of ActivationTimeOffset
(possible in RAN1.5.2 ED2) enables 200 to
500ms reduction for set up delay.

Common Call Performance

Issues
Behaviour

Problem

Description

Possible solutions

Dropped call

Cell suffering from UL

interference = DL
(CPICH) coverage
much bigger than UL
coverage

As the UE Tx power is not

enough for target cell
synchronisation, the SHO fails
which will cause call drop later.

Use cell individual offset (negative value) parameter

to balance the DL and UL coverage.

Dropped call

DL CPICH coverage <

UL coverage

Cell with lower CPICH power

than the surrounding is having
too good UL performance, as
this cells UL cannot be used
efficiently due to SHO is
decided upon DL (CPICH
Ec/No).

Use cell individual offset (positive value) parameter

to balance the DL and UL coverage.

Dropped call

Round the corner

effect

The call drops due to too rapid

CPICH coverage degradation
for Cell A, and therefore there
is not enough time for SHO.

Use cell individual offset (positive value) parameter

to balance the DL and UL coverage.

Dropped call/SHO failure

Too many neighbours

In SHO area the number of

combined neighbouring cells
become more than 31. HO list
is created using RNC algorithm
in the final stage some of the
neighbours will randomly be
removed.

Delete unnecessary neighbours. Improve

dominance.
