GENEX Probe Is a drive-test system targeted for network performance.

It is significant for troubleshooting, verification, optimization, and maintenance of
UMTS and GSM networks.
GENEX Assistant Is a post-processing system that incorporates

analysis of drive test data and RNC data. Now it can analyze drive test data
of UMTS and RNC data at one time.
GENEX U-Net Is a network planning system for GSM, UMTS and

CDMA2000. It supports network dimensioning, coverage prediction, system
simulation, propagation model calibration, radio data tuning and auto site
selection.
GENEX Nastar Is a network performance analysis platform,

supports 2G and 3G networks. By analyzing configuration and performance
data, such as CDR data, RFMT data and RSSI data, it can develop a good
solution to network problems.

There is a call drop event on this

map pay attention to the Ec/Io and
Please
RSCP around this call drop icon.
We will find that receive signals in red
box are very poor, especially before the
call drop.
So we need to observe Ec/Io and RSCP
on chart in more detail.
www.huawei.com
48
48
48
48
HUAWEI
On these charts, we will find

that Ec/Io and RSCP in Active
Set and Monitored Set
became worse and worse.
UE has send Measurement
Report many times, but
there was no right cell to
provide valid coverage.
Finally, Call-dropped.
www.huawei.com
49

HUAWEI
Analysis
The distance from call drop point to SC212(nearest working
cell in Active Set) is 2078m, and the azimuth of SC212 is
reverse to call drop area. There is a much nearer cell-SC190,
Solutions
but it seems not to work.
Check the site in red
box, and turn on it
Adjust project
parameters of cells
nearby
Set up a new site
www.huawei.com

HUAWEI
Pay attention to the call drop in red box, and compare

Active Set/Monitored Set information before call drop
with these after call drop.
www.huawei.com
51
51
51
51
HUAWEI
Observe the Active Set/Monitored Set before call

drop
Before call drop, Ec/Io of SCs in both Active Set and
Monitored Set are very poor, UE should handover to a
better cell.
www.huawei.com
52
52
52
52
HUAWEI
Observe the Active Set/Monitored Set after call

After call drop, UE initializes Active Set, and find a good
drop
Cell-SC325. If UE handover to SC325, call drop should not
happen.
So this call drop dues to Missing Neighbor.
Solution Add SC325 to the Neighbor list of SC 442.
www.huawei.com
53
53
53
53
HUAWEI
Pay attention to the call drop on the map, we will find that
Ec/Io of SC329 in Active Set is very poor (maybe the
azimuth reason), and Ec/Io of SC328 in Monitored Set is
much better. Usually, a SHO is necessary.
www.huawei.com
54
54
54
54
HUAWEI
Compare the best Ec/Io in Active Set with Monitored Set

Before call drop, Ec/Io of SC238(in Monitored Set) is much
better than SC239(in Active Set), and this status keeps for
long time, and match the thresholds of SHO.
So we should get more information with the help of
message browser.
www.huawei.com
55
55
55
55
HUAWEI
In message browser, we will find that UE has sent

Measurement Report many times and asked for handover
(to SC328 and so on).
But there was no response replied from network side.
So the call drop happened.
Troubleshooting:
It is possible that
there are some
mistakes of
parameters
configuration of
network side. User
should contact with
vendors engineers.
www.huawei.com
56
56
56
56
HUAWEI
Pay attention to this

call drop, we will find
that there are over 3
strong pilots in both
Active Set and
Monitored Set before
call drop.
It matches the
threshold of Pilot
Pollution.
So we think this call
drop dues to Pilot
Pollution.
www.huawei.com
57
57
57
57
HUAWEI
Observation
There are too many sites
around the call drop point,
and because of neighbor list,
UE can also receive farside
cell SC165s signal at this
point.
Solution
Adjust the azimuth of
antennas nearby
Adjust the antennas down
tilt of farside sites
www.huawei.com
58
58
58
58
HUAWEI
Each time enter or leave the tunnel, the signal become worse
sharply.
Enter tunnel: At the entrance, the best Ec/Io of Active Set
sharply drop to -20db, and the signal in tunnel is very strong, if
UE cant handover to the cells in tunnel in time, a call drop
should happen.
Leave tunnel:
Similar with above
in
www.huawei.com
out
59
59
59
59
HUAWEI
Analysis with messages

UE has reported the Event 1a, but before the handover
completed, the call dropped.
So this call drop dues to SHO too late or not in time.
Call drop which happens when open and close door in elevator
is similar with this.
Solution
1. Adjust the SHO
parameters,
make SHO more
quickly and
easily.
2. Change the SHO
area by adjusting
the RF
parameters.
