Post-Processing Analysis
Specific area DT
Identify areas with low signal strength e.g. SS < -100dBm (outdoor)
Output Power
Missing Neighbor Relation Site Location
Output Power
Check output power Parameters
BSPWRT - NON BCCH FREQ BSPWRB - BCCH FREQ
Faulty Hardware
Check alarm & BTS Error log Visit site
Height/down Tilt
Add reduce down tilt? Can antenna be placed lower or higher to give better coverage?
Missing Neighbor
Is the call dragged?
Is low SS due to missing neighbor relations
Site Location
Possible to move site? New antenna location at same site? Is it necessary to expand and build a new site?
Antenna direction
Antenna height, tilt or position New site as last option.

Geographical Report (if necessary)
If DL radio is good, check the TX power. If there is MS power down regulation when the MS is close to the cell. If full power suspect uplink interference or antenna, TMA problem.
Miscellaneous Case 1
From TEMS Logfile
Miscellaneous Case 2
From TEMS Logfile
TCH has lower Signal strength than BCCH (Own BCCH included in BA-list)
BTS power control = OFF
Conclusion
Antenna cable for TCH is swapped between sectors (CDU-A)
