 TECHNICAL CASES

Case 1:
Carrier Balancing & Poor PS RAB setup success rate and R99 Drop call rate on
BU0017L

Problem Description:
F1 and F2 users/tarffic is not balance and there was poor PS RAB success rate and R99 drop call rate on
BU0017 H and L.

Possible Causes:
Missing Neighbors (Intra-frequency & Inter-frequency)
Overshooting of the site (Propagation delay)
Limited Radio Resources (Congestion) due to traffic
Alarms (Transmission, Hardware)
Configuration errors

16
 TECHNICAL CASES
Handling process
o Query as one of the 10 top worst cells

o Check transmission or hardware KPI infected alarm on the site, none found.

o Check the traffic/Users on the site and discrepancy is noted between F1/F2

o Compare the TCP, CPICH, Maximum HSDPA user number, Maximum HSUPA User number and the DL/UL equivalent total user
number

o Check the LDR

o Check the DRD RNC and NodeB wise

o Noticed that there was DRD set on the RNC but was set on only F1 cells of the site so I enabled DRD on the F2 to mirror F1 settings

Case 1 Details:

19
 TECHNICAL CASES

Summary

o When DRD is configured on the RNC, all the cells of particular site(F1/F2) should have the
same DRD status either set or not set. When F1 /F2 are configured differently conflicts
might occur.

20
 TECHNICAL CASES

Case 2:
Deterioration of PS RAB KPI as a result of High DL Power, HSDPA and HSUPA
Congestion after resumption of NYSC camp

Problem Description:
High Downlink Power/HSUPA/HSDPA congestion was experienced on KN0241J causing a dip in PS RAB
Success Rate.
The congestion resulted in the poor performance of the site/RNC in terms of RAB failure.

Possible Causes:
Missing Neighbors (Intra-frequency & Inter-frequency)
Overshooting of the site (Propagation delay)
Low TCP value set
Unavailability of the Neighbor Sites
High RTWP due to Internal/External Interference/increase in traffic
Limited Radio Resources (Congestion) due to traffic
Poor coverage
21
Alarms (Transmission, Hardware)
 TECHNICAL CASES
Location of the site on google map

22
 TECHNICAL CASES
Handling process
o Query as one of the 10 top worst cells

o Check transmission or hardware KPI affecting alarms on the site, none found.

o Check the traffic/Users on the site and increase is noted

o Locate the site on Google earth map, check the propagation to the neighbor sites noted that it is an isolated site.

o Check the TCP, Maximum HSDPA user number, Maximum HSUPA User number and the DL/UL equivalent total user number

o Increase the TCP, HSDPA/HSUPA Maximum User numbers and DL/UL equivalent user number

MOD UCELL:CELLID=20813,MAXTXPOWER=460; [Increase the Transmit Cell Power from 430dbm to 460dbm]

24
 TECHNICAL CASES

PS and HS RAB Before and After Optimization

25
 TECHNICAL CASES

Summary

o Compare and Check CS and PS traffic stats, Increase in traffic observed

o Before parameter tuning, ensure to check all RF related issues (pollution, Cell Availability,
missing neighbor, transmission and hardware alarms).

o If HSDPA/HSUPA congestion continues, KN0241G & H have very low number of users, and
physical optimization to share traffic with 1 of them will be explored. Else, 2nd carrier is
recommended .

26
 TECHNICAL CASES

Case 3:
Poor PS RAB setup success rate and YB0008G

Problem Description:
There was poor PS RAB success rate on YB0008G and the primary failure reason is DL power congestion.

Possible Causes:
Missing Neighbors (Intra-frequency & Inter-frequency)
Pilot pollution/Near-far effect
Overshooting of the site (Propagation delay)
Unavailability of the Neighbor Sites
High RTWP due to Internal/External Interference/increase in traffic
Limited Radio Resources (Congestion) due to traffic
Poor coverage
Alarms (Transmission, Hardware)

27
 TECHNICAL CASES
Handling process
o Query as one of the 10 top worst cells

o Check transmission or hardware KPI infected alarm on the site, none found.

o Check the traffic/Users on the cell and its neighbors [high traffic on cells and neighbors]

o Noted TCP is maximum and utilization is high on the cell and nearest neighbors

o Downlink Load Reshuffling(LDR) sequence of actions during CAC algorithm re-ordering i.e change it from default to First -
BERateRed(Channels are reconfigured for the BE service), second CodeAdj(The fragments of the downlink code tree are
arranged), third QosRenego(The renegotiation on the QoS of the uncontrollable real-time service is performed), fourth
InterFreqLDHO(The inter-frequency load handover is performed) [green line]

o Increase DL cell oriented CAC threshold parameters by 5% to increase admission [red line]

28
 TECHNICAL CASES
Case 2 Details:
DL power congestion & before and after both optimization activities

29
 TECHNICAL CASES

Summary

o Compare and Check CS and PS traffic stats

o Before parameter tuning, ensure to check all RF related issues (pollution, Cell Availability,
missing neighbor, transmission and hardware alarms).

o If power congestion continues and serious, since cell is already second carrier and
neighbor cells are congested, we can change to a higher power rated RRU
