RF Feild Optimisation
•
For RF Optimisation and neighbour verification both Scanner and UE
measurements are required simultaneously
•
Post-Processing tool is required for data analysis
•
Individual call failures or drops can be analysed with Drive test tools (e.g.
Nemo Outdoor) but to get bigger picture, a proper analysis tool is required

RF scanner
The purpose of using the RF scanner is to be able to scan and measure all used carriers/cells and their corresponding DL scrambling
codes. This gives the full picture of the (on air) radio network within a selected frequency band. The results are used to identify and
understand reasons for peculiar behaviour discovered during field measurements. In addition, the scanner will indicate presence of
“illegal” RF interference within the sub bands allocated to the network. The scanner data analyses can be done for many purposes:-
For low coverage areas
For antenna installation problems
For missing neighbours
For coverage optimisation
With the scanner you can get the following info from the surrounding cells:
Different Scrambling codes
CPCIH RSCP value (dBm)
CPICH EcNo value (dB)
UE measurements
are different than to RF scanner measurements. The Scanner measures all SCs, whereas the UE only
measures SC signals from the cells that the system has informed/ordered the UE through the BCH (neighbour list) or via the
“measurement control” message.
With this we can get following info:

Physical Optimisation - Antenna changes
Antenna tilting (or panning) is needed mainly if:
•
There is too much interference created by a site covering too much
(overshooting)
•
There is lack of coverage or dominance
One should carefully consider the tilt type
•
Electrical or mechanical (both have advantages and disadvantages)
Antenna tilting should be followed by another round of drive-tests in order to
evaluate the impact
Multiple antenna tilt or azimuth changes in the same time in the same area
should be avoided
Decisions must be made based on scanner measurements.
•
UE measurements can be also used, but they can sometimes lead to
wrong results, for example in case of missing neighbours.
Tilt changes include both down and up-tilting.
Mechanical
•
The downtilt angle varies over the
horizontal beamwidth. Patterns
measured ±90° from the centre of
the beam have decreasing tilt angle
until there is no tilt 90° from the main
beam.
•
The horizontal half-power beam
width increases with greater downtilt
angle.
•
The resulting gain reduction
depends on azimuth direction.
Electrical
•
There is uniform downtilt over the
whole azimuth range.
•
The horizontal half-power
beamwidth is independent of the
downtilt angle.
•
There is identical gain reduction in

Neighbour List Verification
Neighbour definitions required by cell re-selection and handover
Soft handovers are based upon intra-frequency neighbour list
Hard handovers are based upon either intra-frequency (Between RNCs without Iur or
Iur congestion) , inter-frequency (IFHO) or inter-system (ISHO) neighbour lists
Each neighbour has a set of associated parameters e.g. CPICH measurement offset
The post processing tool should be able to suggest appropriate neighbour lists
Strategy for initial system deployment is to place the emphasis upon adding
neighbours rather than removing them

Presentation / Author / Date
Behaviour
Problem
Description
Possible solutions
Call set-up failure
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).
Call drop 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
Poor dominance area.
No main server in the area, too many cells with weak CPICH level.
Use buildings and other environmental structures to isolate cell(s) coverage.
Call drop CPICH EcNo is usually very bad even the RSCP is good e.q. RSCP –80…-90 dBm but EcNo about –10 dB Down tilt antennas to make cells dominant and limit effects of interfering cell(s).
Check antenna bearing.
Add a site.
Call set-up failure
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.
Call drop 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.
Dropped call/SHO failure Missing neighbour
A good usable neighbour is present within cells coverage area, can cause DL interference if it is not in the active set.
Check scanner data and look for missing neighbours. Swapped sectors in WBTS. Check the cabling in antenna line.
Call set-up Failure
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.
Call drop Alternatively use spectrum analyser & directive antenna to
locate interferer.
Inform operator/regulator about the found conditions.
Check if auto tuning range is large enough (20 dB).
Call set-up failure
High PrxToatal 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.
Call drop MHA settings should be checked, see more in reference
(If MHA parameter is set to ON, Cable loss parameter is used, Cable loss = Real MHA gain = Feeder loss parameter)
Call set-up failure 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.
Call drop 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 Actix for checking the call set-up delay (L3 messages). 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 SHO to wrong cell will cause drop call.
Overshooting cell come temporarily into active set and forces a suitable serving cell to be dropped out. Later RSCP suddenly drops in the “wrong cell” and causes a dropped call because there is no neighbour defined.
Pan away overshooting cell if it is too close to the serving cell, otherwise apply down tilting as well.
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.
Check traffic direction of in-car UEs to decide which cell requires offsets. 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.
Note: Cell individual offsets are not taken into account when calculating the added cell Tx power.
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.
Note: Cell individual offsets are not taken into account when calculating the added cell Tx power.
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.

Video Call Performance Issues
Presentation / Author / Date
Behaviour Problem
Description
Possible solutions
Dropped call Not enough DL power to maintain good quality
CS video connection needs more power to maintain the SIR target and thus also BLER target.
Increase the max DL Radio Link power by decreasing the CPICHtoRefRaBOffset
In case the max power increment is a lot (~3dB) then the minimum power is increased by 3dB as well which can lead to the minimum power problems (BTS sending too much power to the UEs close to the BTS and therefore causing problems to the UE and even dropped call)
Therefore the PCrangeDL parameter should be tuned according to the CPICHtoRefRabOffset parameter tuning (from the default)
Call set-up Failure
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.

NETWORK HEALTH CHECK
The Network health check ensures that the planned network is implemented correctly, all cells are up and
running and correct parameters are set. These should be done before optimisation. There are many
checks to look at: -
Alarm check (BTS, RNC, other)
SW and Parameter check
Neighbour consistency check
Cell load check
KPI check
UE performance check for all the services in a controlled environment
Cell load checks
Cell load can be checked by looking at the UL interference situation with PrxNoise counter
in each cell. Normally the PrxNoise is around –102…-105 dBm, but if it is more than this,
there is something wrong in the cell. The reason could be external interference, or
incorrect MHA parameters.
The total load in UL and DL (PtxTotal, PrxTotal) should be less than (PtxTarget, PrxTarget),
otherwise the cell is overloaded.

Low CSSR
With RU10, there is new counters to measure the setup success of standalone Signaling Radio
Bearers (SRBs). Standalone SRB means a successfully established RRC connection that is
waiting for the RAB assignment
SRB active fail is pegged when RNC sent RRC:RRC connection Release before RAB assignment
With RNC_1219a, this give better visibilities where low CSSR is somehow caused by failure in
active standalone SRB phase

Rel99 NRT RAB Setup Success Analysis
There is two ways to evaluate the Rel99 NRT RAB setup success performance
M1001,

Packet Service Setup Success Ratio (CSSR) / CSSR PS NRT
M1022,
RNC_943a

Since RNC_576c (M1001) is measured NRT DCH setup upto 0/0kbps, it is always showing
>99.5%. So it is not useful for data call setup analysis
Packet calls starts with user plane capacity allocation (transfer from FACH/PCH, DCH 0/0) and
ends with dedicated resource release (transfer back to FACH/PCH, DCH 0/0, RAB release,
outgoing relocation, HHO, ISHO)

failure causes (DCH0/0 -> DCH x/x kbps or DCH upgrade request)
The number of NRT DCH setup rejects for interactive/BG traffic class due to running out of
channelisation codes in DL and power in DL/UL (This counter includes initial DCH setups, handover
attempts and channel type switches from HS-DSCH to DCH)
The number of NRT DCH reconfiguration rejects (bitrate upgrade) for interactive/BG traffic class due
to running out of channelizatin codes in DL and power in DL/UL
