Trouble Shooting In The Field

During DT at site 9727 (Phase-A), neighbor list was updated/modified after feedback from the location

Sector-2 of the 9727 cell had to handover its service to another nearby neighbor site while receiving higher RxL in the major lobe of candidate c

Even RxL became -110 dB at 20 Km from serving cell and call dropped. At that time the RxL of candidate cell was -60 dB

Then call originated from candidate cell and moved towards the major lo of sector-2 of site 9727

When approaching at 10 Km away from target sector comparatively high RxL observed and successful handover occurred

Hence sector-2 was added in candidate cell but candidate wasnt added

The Frequency correction (FCH), synchronization (SCH) and random access channels (RACH) are transmitted in single burst each, and thus the use of interleaving between bursts After synchronization with correct frequency and timing slots if MS displays no service then BCCH frequency may not updating the device No access may occur even after location updating, could cause Page 18 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. congestion, or connection Huawei Confidential occupation of error due to
