Problem Cases
Low Signal Strength Interference Handover Call Setup Failure Dropped Call Misc.
Post-Processing Analysis
Identify areas with low signal strength e.g. SS < -100dBm (outdoor) Look at RxLev distribution (for acceptance) Compare with design level or new requirements
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?

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 Good Signal strength DL, Good Rxqual DL No call set up possible unless very close to site = high SS Dropped call when SS < approx. -75dBm Analysis Since DL SS & Rxqual is good Suspect UL problems e.g. external uplink interference Conclusion TMA power turned off
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)
