Radio Network Tuning and
Optimization UMTS
2
Differences compared to 2G
In GeneraI
- The Technology is more complicated (Overlapping cells,
soft hand over, power control, cell breathing etc)
- High performance requirements on products (UE & Network
nodes)
- In ParticuIar for Tuning & Optimization
- Co-located GSM/3G sites
- Shared Antenna System
- nter-working with GSM

Tuning or Optimization, What is the difference
During Tuning
No traffic in the network, No subscribers
Network tuned only based on drive test data
Labour intensive with repeated drive test
All is about Pre-launch activities
During Optimization
Commercial traffic, subscribers using the network
Statistics used widely to monitor network performance
Drive testing just in case
All is about Postlaunch activities

PILOT TUNING
The basic measurements of scanner are
CPCH_RSCP (received signal code power)
CPCH_Ec/No (received energy per chip divided by the
power density in the band)
RSS (received signal strength indicator)
What can you achieve with scanner?
Crossed feeder issues (DL)
Coverage verification
nterference problems (overshooting cell, pilot pollution)
Missing neighbours
