Hardware issue -Huawei

Presented by Md. Moniruzzaman ONS Telecom

Importance
Why ?

Swap is interchange of Hardware 2. To keep hardware functioning

Hardware issue

Alarms Statistics

Path loss
Pathloss (DL)= BTS Tx Power- MS Receive Power

Downlink Uplink

Pathloss (UL)= MS Tx Power- BTS Receive Power

Path Balance
Uplink/Downlink balance= uplink pathloss - downlink pathloss Huawei graded this path balance in 11 levels. Named level1,level2,.,level11

Level 1,2 === >Poor Downlink Level 11,12 == >Poor Uplink

Weaker Downlink from iManager

Weaker uplink >15 % sample Weaker Downlink >25 % sample (HW defined)

Cause
Poor Downlink
MRFU (TRX)

Poor Uplink
MS

Cable, Connector

TMA

MRFU(TRX)

TASR
TCH Assignment is a process of by which TCH is assigned to the MS. After the SDCCH request MS gets TCH successfully and the call transfers to TCH it means TCH assignment is successful.

TRX 0 TRX 1 TRX 2 B T T SD T T SD T T P T T P T T T T T T T T T T T

BCCH , SD

MS Channel set {BCCH,SD} Seeking for TCH (TRX 1)

Poor TASR from iManager

Poor TASR < 0.95 (HW defined)

Cause
Poor TASR causes

Channel Resource
Congestion

Faulty Hardware
MRFU(TRX) TMA

Diversity
Two channel system Tx Signal x(k) Path-1 receive signal r1(k) Path-2 receive signal r2(k) Output signal,y(k) W1*r1(k)+W2*r2(k)
{W1,W2} Maximum SNR ratio criterion,Adaptive combining co-efficient

Loss of Diversity
Huawei has two customized counter for diversity check

S4556:Average Main Level in the Customized MR(dBm) S4557:Average Diversity Level in the Customized MR(dBm) Diversity = 10*log10(S4556/S4557)
If Diversity falls {-6 to 6} dB ---- ok

If Diversity falls out of this range --------loss of diversity

Diversity loss from iManager

Diversity fails this time frame

Loss of diversity if range exceed {-6 to 6}dB (HW defined)

Abis drop
Huawei has four indication to measure Abis drop

Call Drops due to Abis Terrestrial Link Failure Severely Error Second (SES) Errored Second (ES) Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (CRC)

SES ES Measure Algorithm

Abis drop (SES/ES)
