1) Soft Handover Overhead is high
Soft Handover Overhead is higher than 45% in RNC, the value cant meet KPI request, customer ask to
optimize SHO overhead.
Check cell coverage for improving overshooting and reducing SHO overhead with iNastar, we find some
cells coverage to larger, and then ask to customer to down antenna tilt of those cells.
some value of parameters are different HWs recommend value, particularly TrigTime1A (1A Time to
trigger) still using NSNs setting, after swap NSN network 2 years.
After changing TrigTime1A = D320 on Oct. 9th
2) PS CDR reduced due to inactivity timer opt.

PS DCR was improved after 10/11 due to change PS inactive timer (10sec -> 5sec))
SET UPSINACTTIMER
PsInactTmrForCon
PsInactTmrForStr
PsInactTmrForInt
PsInactTmrForBac
Meaning: When detecting that the Ps' User had no data to transfer for a long time which longer
than this timer, the PDCP layer would request the RRC layer to release this Radio Access Bear.
So the number of normal release will increase which will result in decreasing the PS CDR =
Abnormal Release / Abnormal Release + Normal Release
1) External Interference
We found the KPI for Our site is not good, and the RTWP for all cells are very High.
We check the RTWP for Site New Sites GHB968:
We make a trace for RF Frequency Scaning by which we are confermed that there is some
Interference
External
After This we conferm that there is some External Interference in our Network, so we just inform to our
coustomer to make it clear.
Always check the results for surrounding sites , if you are suspecting Interference.
1) Optimize PS RB Setup timer

PS Drops are very high at RNC
After investigations we found a lot of Ps Drops due to coverage, SRB, TRB Resets and UU No Reply
RbSetup Wait RB setup
RspTmr response timer
Meaning: A timer to RNC wait for the RB setup response from UE in the RB procedure. Refer to the No
RB reconfiguration message may retransmit three times when the timer expires.The parameter modific
has no impact on the equipment.
GUI Value Range: 300~300000
Unit: ms
Actual Value Range: 300~300000
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 5000
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No impact on the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: None
So what's recommended is as below:
3) High RTWP Due to Micro Wave Interference

New 3G NodeB has completed integration, RTWP was very high. This site was 2G and 3G
collocation site,before GSM is 1800M band, now UMTS is 2100M
From M2000 we got the RTWP value, the top sector 2 RTWP value was -80, sector 1 and
sector 3 were more than -100, it was serious problem. We did some work for this site below:
1. We exchanged the feeder and jumper, the RTWP didn't change with jumper and feeder ;
2. We replaced the all WRFU and WBBP board, the high RTWP not disappeared;
3. We blocked GSM all TRX in the morning during idle hour, but no any improvement.
4. After we monitor several days KPI,we found that the RTWP can reach the normal level on
sometime , we doubted that it was interference cause RTWP.so we check the installation, we
saw one antenna very near the Huawei antenna.
Negotiated with the other customer regarding reducing their MW power, after they reduce the
power ,the RTWP can reach normal value.
1) DL power congestion solved by admission

control and CPICH power optimization
Cells suffer from high DL power congestion affecting accessibility KPIs (RRC, CS RAB & PS RAB %)
We took two actions:
Optimize CPICH power by decreasing it in both carriers
MOD UCELL:CellId=40483, PCPICHPower=340;
MOD UCELL:CellId=40488, PCPICHPower=340;
optimize the DL load threshold by controlling the admission control (CAC) of conversational
AMR service, conversational non-AMR service, and handover scenarios thresholds, where they
decide when to accept the call only if the load after admitting it is less than above four
thresholds depending on type (default values: 80, 80, 85, 75%)
MML Commands
MODUCELLCAC:CellId=40483,DlConvAMRThd=92,DlConvNonAMRThd=92,DlOtherThd=90,
DlHOThd=93, DlCellTotalThd=95;
MODUCELLCAC:CellId=40488,DlConvAMRThd=92,DlConvNonAMRThd=92,DlOtherThd=90,
DlHOThd=93, DlCellTotalThd=95;
40483: DL power congestion released and accessibility KPIs improved
40488: DL power congestion released and accessibility KPIs improved
1) PS Data traffic Increases drastically & HSDPA
traffic Decreases Simultaneously

changing thresholds
due
to
Suddenly There is an Increases in PS data traffic & decreases in HSDPA traffic
First we need to check there is increases or decreases in RAB attemts
If we look to HS RAB Attempts then there is an 50 % Decreases hence the HS traffic

decreases.
Analysis
We checked the codes assigned for HS services. But before & after codes assigned is
same there is no change in PS & HS assigned codes. Means for HS it is 7 and
remaining codes is for R99
Then we found a change in parameter below that has been changed from D768 to D64
Parameter Name
Meaning
GUI Value Range

Recommended
Value
DL BE traffic threshold on HSDPA

Rate threshold for decision to use HS-DSCH to carry DL PS
background/interactive services. When the maximum DL service rate is
higher than or equal to this threshold, the service will be carried on HSDSCH. Otherwise, it will be carried on DCH.

4) Relief High UL CE congestion by LDR action

site 4092 suffers from high UL CE congestion affected PS RAB SR (Success Rate)%
Load Reshuffling (LDR) is required to reduce the cell load and increase the access success rate.
We enable Cell Credit(CELL_CREDIT_LDR) LDR, NodeB credit(NODEB_CREDIT_LDR ) LDR, Cell
Group Credit (LCG_CREDIT_LDR)
MODUCELLALGOSWITCH:CellId=40926, CELL_CREDIT_LDR-1;
MODUCELLALGOSWITCH:CellId=40927, CELL_CREDIT_LDR-1;
MODUNODEBALGOPARA:NodeBName="C1_0_DEL4092P1(DSK_TE)",NodeBLdcAlgoSwitch=NOD
EB_CREDIT_LDR-1&LCG_CREDIT_LDR-1; as both cells under same node-b
Then I define the 1st, 2nd , 3rd actions of the LDR to ones that can solve the UL CE problem, as not
all actions in LDR can solve UL CE as inter-freq HO as example
4092 high CE Usage and after LDR action the CE usage decreased
CE Congestion released & PS RAB SR improved
5) Poor PS CSSR due to UL Power congestion

For lot of cells had this problem we took on each cell one or more of below actions:
1) increase UlTotalEquseNum from 160 to 200
As in CAC, UL is admitted if algorithm 2 is applied which is the case if
{{{{{(ENUtotal + ENUnew)/ UlTotalEqUserNum}}}}} <
{{{{{UlNonCtrlThdForHo/AMR/NonAMR/Other}}}}}
2) Activated UL LDR CE/Power and modified UL LDR actions to correspond to UL CE
We enable Cell Credit(CELL_CREDIT_LDR) LDR, NodeB credit(NODEB_CREDIT_LDR ) LDR, Cell
Group Credit (LCG_CREDIT_LDR) and UL_UU_LDR-1;
3) lower UL LDR trigger threshold from 65 to 55
To make LDR work faster

UlLdrTrigThd=55, UlLdrRelThd=45;
Conclusion: Top 3 worst cells UL power Cong recover:
6) IRAT Performance Improvement Actions

Cause CS IRAT and PS IRAT bad bec high physical channel failure at worst cells (which refers to failure due to R
Analysi F problems) + failure due to congestion (found only in CS as PS has no preparation)
s:
After finding out 2 major reasons for CS and PS IRAT failures we investigate further and found bellow men
tioned conclusions
Handli Now we know that route cause of poor IRAT performance was congestion at target 2G cells and poor 2G
ng
coverage at time of IRAT handovers. Capacity augmentation done by 2G team on request for congested
Proces 2G cells on and PS IRAT performance improved after this.
s:
We also done bellow mentioned parameter optimization to further improve IRAT performance as it was still
bellow baseline
1)

7) different RTWP between F1 and F2 of the same

sector
during normal audits of the network we found that for some sectors there is a diffrence in the RTWP between F1
and F2 cell of the same sector,
To check we have to verify the following three parts:

1. we had to make sure that the equipment is not faulty
to check the equipment we swapped the sectors between sector1 and sector3
(connected the antenna of sector3 to the RRU and the feaders of sector1 and
antenna of sector1 to the RRU and the feaders of sector3) and when we did that we
found that the RTWP is the same and didnt move from sector3 to sector
2. we have to make sure that it is no external interference
checked using spectrum annalizer and we found that there is no external
interference
3. we have to confirm it is traffic load or not
was the problem,
basically the second carrier is used for data traffic, and it was
noticed that the HSDPA traffic on this cell is relatively high compared with the trend of
the first carrier, Such traffic difference especially in HSDPA and HSUPA can be the
reason of the difference between RTWP of the first and second carrier cells. It is so
clear from the below hourly snap that the RTWP is increasing and decreasing with the
change of the HSDPA and HSUPA number of users
here is F2 G31377
here is for F1 G31373 and F2 G31377
1) HSDPA low throughput analysis

DT of a cluster we found that the throughput is not high in special areas as per the below snap
Radio conditions was good, CQI of that road was very good (average more than 23) which we verified as per the
below snap
the IUB utlization is normal and there is no congestion as well as the power, below snaps of the IUB utiliz ation at
the test time:
we went deeper to check the number of codes assigned to the UE during the test we found that the number of
codes was very low as per the snap
Reason we found that the NodeB lisence for the number of codes was normal and the feat ure of the dynamic
codes allocation is activated on the nodeB, but when we checked the average number of users ber hour in a day
we found that the cell is covering alot of users of HSDPA services below snap to show the number of users hourly
8) HSDPA Rate was LOW due to 16QAM not

activated
was swapping vendor and after we swapped the first cluster we found the HSDPA rate is Low comparing to
the value we have before Swap
1- We sent a DT Engineer and started to make a test.
2- Also we checked the IUB BW and the number of HSDPA users configured on the sites and the
number of codes configured for each site.
3- From point 2 we found everything is OK.
4- But from the DT log files we found the following:
5- the DT log files we found the following, We found all the samples under the QPSK and zero
samples at 16 QAM.
we checked the NodeB configuration found the 16QAM switch enabled on all the sites from LST
MACHSPAR
we found one parameter was not exist in our NodeB License: HSDPA RRM license, after activating it 16QAM worked and throughput for the same HSDPA traffic increased
1) Idle Mode 2G-3G optimization to stay more on

3G
To offload traffic over 2G and to make user under 3G coverage more, Change parameter
FDDQMIN from -10 dB to -14 dB on 2G side
SSEARCHRAT from -8 to -9 on 3G side

Inter-RAT measurement:
Squal SsearchRATm
Qqualmeas Qqualmin SsearchRATm
Qqualmeas Qqualmin + SsearchRATm
3G Coverage and traffic increase which can be seen from increase in HSDPA throughput ( more user in 3G for
longer time duration) also face power and CE blocking due to increase in 3G users on those sites which was fixed.
HSDPA UE Mean Cell (increased after change, but reduced again since 20-Oct, probably due
to increased of power blocking)
Huawei Confidential
1) Low PS traffic on F2 cells due to missing Blind

HO neighbors.
-The problem was that After F3 Expansion on one site and during KPIs check for the period before
expansion We found that site had very low PS traffic (very low PS RAB ATT) On F2 cells and it have very
high traffic (very High PS RAB ATT) on F1 cells while the network strategy dont permit for this scenario to
be happened .
We found that the blind HO was not defined from F1F2

9) PS RAB Succ Rate Degraded due to DRD

Parameter and Blind HO
PS RAB degraded below baseline on 1st Sept 2012. From statistic, it is cause by top worst 2nd
cells and not related to all cells in RNC level.
was due to is PS RAB UUFail with its sub counter PS RAB PhyChFail and PS RAB UuNoReply.
The reason for this degrade was following two reasons that after setting them right the things
returned normal as seen in above 2 figures
1. Blind HO Flag for Multi carrier cells inter-frequency relation was wrong setting
10) CSSR PS Degraded due to high PS Code

Congestion after swap
PS CSSR was low because after investigating founf Failed due to Code Congestion
Later For soution We decided to change the Algorithm and Open the LDR in Cell Level at 2 sectors which
had code congestion.
The Parameters are
MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=10051, NBMLdcAlgoSwitch=CELL_CODE_LDR-1;
MOD UCELLLDR: CellId=10051, DlLdrFirstAction=CodeAdj, DlLdrSecondAction=Berated,
DlLdrBERateReductionRabNum=1, GoldUserLoadControlSwitch=ON;
PS CSSR Improved after Opening the LDR parameters
11) Low CS IRAT Handover Success Rate due to miss

configuration in GSM band
The requested CS IRAT Handover Success Rate target is 95% but these 2 sites (3 sectors each)
could only achieve around 60% during busy hour as shown in picture below
main reason for the CS IRAT HO failure is due to IRATHO.FailOutCS.PhyChFail.
Note that blue counter is sum of the other 2

Next, checking on cell_gcell counter, found that almost all of the failures happened to the cosite GSM as highlighted below

Checking from the Ios trace, it is found that after the RNC sends the
RRC_HO_FROM_UTRAN_CMD_GSM to UE, the UE replied an
RRC_HO_FROM_UTRAN_FAIL, and the reason is physicalChannelFailure as shown
below.
Numb
The problem was that the GSM cell when created and configured to be in co-BCCH mode which
the main BCCH is in 850MHz while 1900MHz as below from ADD GCELL
But when GSM is defined as external neighbor to the UMTS, it was defined in a band different
from the actual one
TYPE Freq.
Band
Meaning: This parameter specifies the frequency band of new cells. Each new
cell can be allocated frequencies of only one frequency band. Once the
frequency band is selected, it cannot be changed.
GSM900: The cell supports GSM900 frequency band.
DCS1800: The cell supports DCS1800 frequency band.
GSM900_DCS1800: The cell supports GSM900 and DCS1800 frequency bands.
GSM850: The cell supports GSM850 frequency band.
GSM850_DCS1800: The cell supports GSM850 and DCS1800 frequency bands.
PCS1900: The cell supports PCS1900 frequency band.
GSM850_PCS1900: The cell supports GSM850 and PCS1900 frequency bands.
TGSM810: The cell supports TGSM810 frequency band.
GUI Value Range: GSM900, DCS1800, GSM900_DCS1800, GSM850,
PCS1900, GSM850_1800, GSM850_1900, TGSM810
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: GSM900, DCS1800, GSM900_DCS1800, GSM850,
PCS1900, GSM850_1800, GSM850_1900, TGSM810
MML Default Value: None

Recommended Value: None
Service Interrupted After Modification : Not involved
ADD UEXT2GCELL):
BandInd Inter-RAT Cell

Frequency
Band Indicator
Meaning: When the inter-RAT cell frequency number is within the

range 512-810, the parameter indicates whether this frequency
number belongs to the DSC1800 or PCS1900 frequency band.
GUI Value Range: GSM900_DCS1800_BAND_USED(Use
GSM900M or 1800M frequency band), PCS1900_BAND_USED(Use
GSM1900M frequency band)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: GSM900_DCS1800_BAND_USED,
PCS1900_BAND_USED
MML Default Value: GSM900_DCS1800_BAND_USED
Recommended Value: GSM900_DCS1800_BAND_USED
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No impact on the UE in
idle mode)
So when the UE try to make the handover to GSM PCS1900MHz band, the RNC had instructed
the UE to search for DCS1800 band which caused the failure.
After the implementation, the CS IRAT Handover Success Rate has improved obviously as below:
12) Abnormal high RTWP due to improper setting

on NodeB
During cluster acceptance O operator swap project, it was found cell W6374B3 and W6229B3 always be
the top worst cells in AMR drops.
AMR drops for the 7days.
PS DCR was also having relatively poor KPIs, which was 5~30% in these 2 cells.
Scanning through for possible reason of drops, it was found both cells having abnormal high RTWP
We checked hardware problems related to parameters as following:
It was found there is improper setting in desensitization intensity (DSP DESENS) in both problem
cells as shown below.
1. After revert, RTWP of both cells back to normal, on level of -105dBm as shown below.
2. PS DCR of these 2 cells (W6229B3 & W6374B3) showed significant improvement to level of 1% as
shown below.
13) Poor PS IRAT Handover SSR due to congestion

issue on adjacent 2G sites
Symptom:
PS IRAT handover SSR of sector B and C degraded significantly at busy time.
Cause

1.
Missing neighbouring 2G cells;

Poor coverage;
IRAT configuration (3G or 2G side);
Congestion on adjacent 2G sites;
PS - CN Topology and configurations ( Intra-SGSN or Inter-SGSN handover, Routing Area Update failures
Others
Checked the CS IRAT HO SSR of the site, which is much better than PS IRAT HO SSR and acceptable. So
and coverage should not be the issue; (most probably is congestion as CS prepare channel while PS dont)
2. PS IRAT HO SSR degraded only at busy time, which is most probably caused by congestion issue on adjac
sites. Checked TBF, GPRS and Edge congestion situation of adjacent 2G sites, and there are serious conges
found.

3. After expansion on adjacent 2G sites, PS IRAT HO SSR was improved significantly.
14) Analysis Report for bad RTWP on one NodeB

caused by External Interference
bad RTWP on one NodeB.
Action Plan:
1st Action: Request FLM team to perform below actions:
Check connectors/combiner.
Replace combiner,
Check WMPT,
And if still issue not clear, then re-commission the site.
After performing all above actions the RTWP issue still exist on this site (3 sectors), suspected
internal/external interference.
2nd Action: Request to change UARFCN from Freq1 band 1 (UL 9613 DL 10563) to Freq Band 6
(UL 9738 DL 10688) which is 25M apart from 1st freq on site 120031_A_Dahlan_3G for trial
purpose,
After change frequency RTWP normal
So now we know that there is interference on the 1st freq, so we will continue using this 2nd trial freq until
interference is solved in first one, but the problem with 2nd freq is that the KPIs where not good as seen
below:
CSSR decrease: RRC.FailConnEstab.NoReply bad.
DCR Increase: VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.RF.SRBReset/VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.RF.ULSync
/VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.RF.UuNoReply bad.
Traffic increased.
So we want to find what is the problem

3rd Action: the first thing found wrong on 2nd freq from Audit Parameters is that there is no inter-freq
HO activated as in 1st freq from below parameter,
we found the HOSWITCH_HO_INTER_FREQ_HARD_HO_SWITCH=FALSE which states that there

is no IFHO performed
Note that there is another switch HO_ALGO_LDR_ALLOW_SHO_SWITCH: this switch is to activate the inter-freq HO triggered by LDR
and LDR only, it means whether LDR action inter-freq can trigger inter-freq HO or not, while the previous one is whether inter-freq is
activated or not which is a must as if not activated this parameter will not have any meaning
so before in 1st freq some UEs performed inter-freq as there was no good intra-freq cell, so if no interfreq the UE will keep work on the current freq that will increase traffic on current freq and also this will
result in more CDR probability
After fix switch: IFHO comes normal, here below KPI of IFHO success rate
there is improvement in all KPIs but still not good, so we need to improve more
4th Action: we wanted to enhance the KPIs for the 2nd freq even more, Check propagation delay
distribution for site 120031_A_Dahlan_3G before and after changing the freq: Found site
overshooting after change frequency:

Each propagation delay represents three chips. The propagation distance of one chip is 78 m.
Therefore, one propagation delay corresponds to 234 m.
When the propagation delay is 0, it indicates that the UE is 0-234 m away from the base station.
When the propagation delay is 1, it indicates that the UE is 234-468 m away from the base
station.
station.
......
station
Here is before changing freq for 3 sectors
Here is after changing and RTWP was fixed
So as u can see the 2nd freq has more coverage, this comes from the fact that 2nd freq has no
continues coverage as 1st freq, as not commonly used freq by other neighbor sited, so this
resulted in less HO that made coverage is more
1) Bad Quality (ECIO) for due to high Users/RTWP

There was bad Ec/No as seen below in DT
This is not a permanent issue as found mainly in busy hour as seen below
The problem mainly was due to high traffic as seen below when number of users increase the RTWP increase up
to -92dB which degrade the quality (Ec/No) in UL which is the same in DL
So the problem was due to not external interference but high traffic
So there are number of solutions to solve high traffic
1) SHO failure due to Iur congestion

The main problem in this swap was IuR congestion

So ZTE activated some algorithms on its side and changed some parameters to solve the
problem, which was actually solved as seen below
15) DCR KPI degraded after NodeB rehoming from

one RNC to another
Phenomen
on
Description
rehoming of 29 NodeBs to a new RNCon 24May. The following showed the abnormal release (DCR
nom) increased significantly after 24Jul while normal release (DCR denom) remained almost same
level.
Cause
Analysis
1) Missing ncells
2) RNC parameters or switches
3) RNC license
This is a case of post rehoming KPI degradation, thus we, first of all, checked the ncells script
for the rehoming operation. Found to have few missing ncells for Inter RNC neighboring
relations. Complete ncells added on 25Jul night. DCR improved around 60%. Still it was
suspected there is another reason behind the degradation.
Handling
Process
After checking all the KPI again, it was found there is abnormal increase in CS traffic after
rehoming. Thus we started to suspect these increase are related to the DCR degradation.
Then we went into details to check raw counters of every KPIs, and found that the CS IRAT HO
attempts decreased till almost zero value, same went to PS attempts as well. This explained
the reason why DCR increased and CS traffic increased abnormally as the CS calls have been
kept and dragged in 3G till call drops.
3. Based on this assumption, we tried to compare the configuration of RNC Depok and RNC
Depok2. No different in term of parameters and switches configuration.
4. Then we continued the verification on RNC license, found there was missing item called
Coverage Based Inter-RAT Handover Between UMTS and GSM/GPRS=ON in RNC Depok2.
16) External Interference

Interference Found in below cells.
Amar_Taru (2286) 3rd Sector.
Panneri (2149) 1st Sector.
Interference Test Analysis of Amar_Taru 3rd Sector / Panneri 1st Sector
Field test observation we had changed Azimuth of Panneri 1st Sector from 40* to 160* on
that time RTWP suddenly decreased that mean some Unknown frequency generating by
unknown source which is available near to Andheri Station which is same or very close to
RCOM UL Centre Frequency (1961.5MHz) .
17) AMR Call Drop Resolution By 2D 2F Parameter
change
RNC having high AMR call drop rate
Phenome
non
Descripti
on
1. It is found that AMR call drop is happening after the compress mode is
triggered from NASTAR.
Analysis
Change the 2D 2F parameter setting of issued cells from:
After Parameter change:

Solution
there is improvement in AMR call drop rate after the changes done in IRAT 2D 2F
parameter settings.
18) Low PS CSSR due to Uplink Power Congestion

Low PS CSSR on sector B of the site at busy time.
Cause Analysis
1. Resource Congestion;
2. Improper configuration;
3. RF issue;
4. CN issue;
5. Others
Handling Process:
1. Checked the traffic of the sector B, and the site has high traffic;
RTWP is very high at busy time
2. Check the PS RAB establish congestion on M2000, and the site has significantly high uplink
power congestion;
The HSUPA user number always hits the limit (20);
3. Analyze the coverage on Naster. The analysis result shows that the site can reach a distant area
(TP=20, Distance=4.6km).
4. With the Nastar result, we then check the site on Google earth. It is clear that the site has
overshooting and overlapping issue. Adjusting azimuth or downtilt is suggested.
Adjust the downtilt and azimuth as the red arrow shows, the issue was recovered with the
reduced traffic.
19) WCDMA DL Power Congestion Troubleshooting

we have found DL power congestion instatntly
If TCP ratio is very high, it means downlink power congestion. Then we can:
1.
For single carrier cells, we can use downlink LDR:
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=0, NBMLdcAlgoSwitch=DL_UU_LDR-1;

MOD CELLLDR: CellId=0, DlLdrFirstAction=BERateRed, DlLdrBERateReductionRabNum=1;
GoldUserLoadControlSwitch=ON;
2.
For F1 cell, Setting LDR as follows:
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=0, NBMLdcAlgoSwitch=DL_UU_LDR-1;

MOD
CELLLDR:
CellId=0,
DlLdrFirstAction=BERateRed,
DlLdrBERateReductionRabNum=1, GoldUserLoadControlSwitch=ON;
DlLdrSecondAction=InterFreqLDHO,
Then we can monitor the counters as follows to check the effect of LDR action:
VS.LCC.LDR.InterFreq
VS.LCC.LDR.BERateDL
VS.LCC.LDR.BERateUL
Note: usually power congestion will not happen in dual carrier cell. For single carrier
site, if power congestion is serious, expand carrier is recommended.
1) PSC planning to enhance CSSR
RNC having normal CSSR but to improve more PSC audit and change should be done
After the PSC change, CSSR improved.
Below is the cells that had PSC planning on
1) Uplink Power Congestion
Uplink Power Congestion

Main Root Problem:
High RAB failures on site 102373_SEKELOA_3G due to uplink power congestion.
Analysis :
Uplink power congestion was found on site 102373_SEKELOA_3G although parameter
ULTOTALEQUSERNUM has been set to 200 (=maximum value)
HUAWEI Confidential

Counter Description for LDR State:
HUAWEI Confidential
Action :
Disable UL power CAC for cell with high UL power congestion. For any cell with UL power
congestion still appear although ULTOTALEQUSERNUM has been set to 200 (=maximum value),
we decide to disable UL power CAC by setting NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch in UCELLALGOSWITCH
to ALGORITHM_OFF.

Result :
After changing NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch setting improvement in uplink power congestion.
HUAWEI Confidential
1) RF Coverage problem Solved Later by

Modifying parameters related to cell radius
From DT
Found EC/IO and RSCP (little) Poor Near the Cell 080086 which was causing main problems
Solution
According to Coverage Prediction Plot from Atoll we found that there is coverage shrink in the area due
to bad cell environment and so planned to change the cpich power
Increase Power CPICH from 330 to 390

1) RRC Rej and RAB Fail and reason are RRC Rej
and RAB Fail due to Code Congetion in WCDMA
KPI Analysis:
Solution:
If HS-PDSCH Reserved Codes value is excessively high, the HSDPA code resource is wasted and the
admission rejection rate of R99 services increases due to code resource.
so we have change this parameter from 12 to 5 .
As I checked the site parameter config. And found Code number for HS-PDSCH is 12. So change it to 5 as per baseline.
After reduce the HS-PDSCH Code problem is solved.
20) CS IRAT HO Problem due to LAC miss-configuration [HO]
When we implemented the work order of RNC in one region we got the IRAT HO Success Rate
of 24%.
After we executed one work order on 69 sites of One RNC in one region we got so many IRAT
failures.

1. Checked neighbor data from 3G to GSM Handover in RNC, checks each NGSM cell
information, there is no problem in that.
2. Traced singling in RNC using LMT and found many prepare handover failed, the
reason is unknown target RNC. What backed it out is that the counters from
M2000 that counts are
IRATHO.FailOutCS.PhyChFail
IRATHO.FailRelocPrepOutCS.UKnowRNC
3. Based on that we have checked the configured LAC in MSC, checked MSC data and
find LAI is wrong.
After the LAI modifications in the RNC & MSC we have got The IRAT HO success Rate of
97%

Parameters Optimization (SET 2)
Adjust parameter TARGETRATR99PSTHD and TARGETRATHTHD from -95 to -90 dBm.
- GSM cells that contribute with high failure that affect IRAT success rate, you can decrease its priority by adjusting targe
(NPRIOFLAG, NPRIO, RATCELLTYPE).
Conclusion & Recommendations:
>After implemented the actions according to KPI Improvement plan (page 3) , the
target KPI : PS IRAT HO Success Rate significant improve from about 85.6% to
94.8 %.
1) R99 PS drop ratio increase after action the

64QAM due to CM on HSPA+ not activated
R99 PS Drop increase after activation of the 64QAM in March 5:
Firstly, activation time is confirmed by RNC operation log:
From counter analysis, we found per RNC that there are nearly 300 drops on PS R99 drop:
And TOP cell has nearly 30 drops R99 PS drop, other cell has several times R99 PS drop:
At the same time, H2D time begins to increase when activation of 64QAM is made:
Analyzing the RNC configuration, find that HSPA+ service is not allowed to start CM:
This configuration will cause 64QAM user in the bad coverage must turn to DCH from
HSDPA, then the user starts CM. This is more possible to drop.
In the IOS, some user drop after 64QAM UE return to DCH for bad coverage:
Solution
According to the above analysis, HSPA+ service cant support CM, so HSPA+ user in bad
coverage return to DCH that causes R99 PS drop ratio increase.
SET UCMCF: EHSPACMPermissionInd=TRUE
2) SHO OVERHEAD PROBLEM solved by optimizing

event 1B
During working on B project i found problem of SHO Overhead in RNC's is high
In Trial Optimisation : I present 2 batches for the optimisation
1st Batch
1.Select Cells where SHO Overhead is high and have high traffic/congestion.
2.Adjust antenna e-tilt to control coverage. If antenna e-tilt is already at maximum then g
o to (3).
3.Adjust SHO parameters IntraRelThdFor1BCSNVP and IntraRelThdFor1BPS from 12
(means 6dB) to 10 (means 5dB) to increase probabilities of triggering event 1B and impr
ove SHO Overhead
If SHO overhead is not Improved then we have to apply 2nd Batch
2nd Batch
1.Select Cells where SHO Overhead is still high
Change TRIGTIME1B from 640 to 320 (ms) to further improvement.
After applying above, significant improvement occurred
22) FACH Congestion Reduction by increasing Air +

Iub B.W
FACH congestion can be thought to be due to one of the below 3
reasons:
a. Air Interface congestion (SF64 where SCCPCH is configured at
is the bottleneck)
b. Iub Interface congestion (FACH BW which is configured to
4500byte/sec is the bottleneck)
c. Both Air and Iub interfaces are bottlenecks

These counters provide the duration for which the DCCHs/DTCHs carried over the FACHs in a
cell are congested. Unit:sec
Step1: Increasing the SF of 2nd SCCPCH from

SF64 to be SF32
It got result but not acceptable result

Step2: Increasing the Iub of the FACH to be
9000B/s instead of 4500 B/s (on top of SF32)
This solved the problem
23) Soft handover Overhead Reduction using event

1A
It is found that the main contributor to the SPU load is the soft handover. Most of the N
odeB are six sector NodeB, therefore, there will be more RL established per UE
From network audit analysis, 27% of the SPU load is caused by softhandover
Solution:
Event 1A triggering threshold is reduced to make the event less likely to occur. Below is
the command:
MOD UCELLINTRAFREQHO: RNCId=XX, CellId=XXXX, IntraRelThdFor1ACSVP=5,
IntraRelThdFor1ACSNVP=5, IntraRelThdFor1APS=5;
t was changed from default value 6. Below is the result after change:
The soft handover overhead and SPU Load reduced after the change. The SPU
load usage reduction more than 10%
In addition, the call drop rate have not changed after the changes
Degrade in Paging Success Rate after IU-FLEX implementation

Customer in Country M, at office M , reported that there are degradations in Paging Success Rate for 1 RNC, IPRN5. The Paging
Success Rate (PSR) for idle UE on RNC IPRN5 was degraded since 14th Sep 2012.
CAUSE ANALYSIS
The problem is shown in Figure 1, where the IU Paging Success Ratio is degraded.
Figure 1 PSR for idle UE
As shown in Figure 2, the RRC successful connection rate stayed almost the same. This indicated that there is nothing wrong wit
h the common part which RRC connection and paging share together, including UU interface, NODEB, IUB, some internal modul
es of RNC.
Figure 2 RRC successful connection rate
Besides, theres no flow control/ discarded detected, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 CPUSALLVS.PAGING.FC.Disc.Num.CPUs
o
o
In addition, from the performance file, there is no PCH congestion found at all, as shown in figure 4, and there is no paging discar
ded too.
It shows that, the paging message should successfully be delivered from IU interface to UU interface. This conclusion together wi
th point 1 indicates the PSR deterioration is not caused by UTRAN.
Figure 4 UCELLALLVS.RRC.Paging1.Loss.PCHCong.Cell
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS:

PSR for the idle UE on RNC is calculated by the formula:PSR=VS.RANAP.Paging.Att.IdleUE/VS.RANAP.Paging.Succ.IdleUE. The denominator and
the numerator are shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 The denominator and the numerator for PSR
From an hour IU Trace, there is 286 location update failure out of 4042 location update requests in total with the reason shown as Figure 7.All the
failure was received from CN.
Figure 6 Location updating failure with different cause

FINDINGS:
From the analysis, we could say that after IU-FLEX, repeated paging mechanism could be altered, which could bring in more useless paging attempts.
As a result, PSR on RNC is degraded.

We found when the UL power congest, the traffic is a little high,so we reduce CPICH power 1DB to decreases the cov
erage ,but we found the UL power still congestion after the revision, we doubt that lack of resources is not the root cau
se.
We check the current network parameters, found uplink CAC algorithm switch of the issue cell is set to ALGORITHM_
SECOND(The equivalent user number algorithm).
Algorithm
Content
ALGORITHM_OFF
Uplink power admission control algorithm disabled.
ALGORITHM_FIRST
Power-based increment prediction algorithm for uplink admission control.
ALGORITHM_SECOND ENU-based admission algorithm for uplink admission control.

ALGORITHM_THIRD
Power-based non-increment prediction algorithm for uplink admission control.
If we use ALGORITHM_SECOND,the network performs admission control based on the uplink equivalent number of
users (ENU) of the cell and the predicted ENU caused by admitting new users.
It means according to the different service types, equivalent to different number of users. When the cell equivalent nu
mber of users exceeds the set value(Here is 95), the cell will deny user access.
According the algorithm principle,we use ALGORITHM_OFF to disable uplink call admission control algorithm.
After we monitor several days KPI,we found that the KPI can reach the normal level,and there are no abnormal fluct
uations with other KPIs
For the uplink power congestion,we could analyze from the following two aspects
1.Lack of resources.
a:Check CE adequacy of resources;
b:Adjust the coverage.by modifying the pilot power and the maximum transmission power or by RF optimal adjustme
nt.
2. Lead to the issue of parameter settings.
Adjust cell parameters:as the access control algorithm
Cells Location with LAC Borders

Below mentioned plot shows cells location with less than 98% RRC Registration

Cause of the problem was attenuation not set and TMA not configured but were physically present on the Site .
On investigation we found that the cell having High RSSI were having TMA before Swap . But were not configured
in the Huawei System afterwards . Also attenuation needs to be set accordingly .
Here is the process and commands to check .
When there is no TMA, the attenuation value is set to 0. When the 12 dB TMA is used, the
attenuation value is set between 4 dB to 11 dB. When the 24 dB TMA is used, the attenuation
value is set between 11 dB and 22 dB. When the 32 dB TMA is used, the attenuation value is set
between 22 dB and 30 dB.
This command takes effects immediately after the execution.
ATTEN Attenuation of RX

Meaning: It is the value of WRFU/RRU Rx

attenuation.
GUI Value Range: 0, 4~30
Actual Value Range: 0, 4~30

Post Correction of the Antennuation .Here is RSSI post implementation.

So after Swap we should check these to avoid the RTWP issue .

Action Taken to Improve:

To Improve UL Power congestion>> 1 parameter related to CAC Algorithm is changed:
Make MOD UCELLCAC >>>> UlTotalEqUserNum (UL Total no. of User)>>>from 95 user>>> 200 user
But still after changing this parameter, UL Power Congestion problem did not resolve, there was
some improvement but Congestion was there.
So we change CELL LOADING RESHUFFLING PARAMETER

STEPS:
A) First SWITCH ON the UL LDR Switch by command:
MOD UCELL ALGOSWITCH: CELLID=65361; NBMLdcAlgoSwitch=UL_UU_LDR-1;
B) Change LDR Parameter:

MOD UCELLLDR: CELLID=65361; ULLdrFirstAction= BERateRed,

To Improve UL Power congestion>> 1 parameter related to CAC Algorithm is
changed:
Make MOD UCELLCAC >>>> UlTotalEqUserNum (UL Total no. of

User)>>>from 95 user>>> 200 user
Impact on Network Performance: If the value is too high, the system load after
admission may be over large, which impacts system stability and leads to system
congestion. If the value is too low, the possibility of user rejects may increase, resulting
in waste in idle resources.

Make DL CAC Algorithm Switch >>>> OFF >>>from>>> Algorithm First state
1. In OFF condition : DL CAC algorithm is disable.
In Algorithm First condition: The load factor prediction is ON.
If Algorithm first applied than after reaching load factor, new calls are rejected. While if
we disable it than it can take new call. We make it OFF most of the time at the time of
more load on site, while Algorithm First is used when we have more sites nearby and
reaching certain load/threshold, it can transfer calls to near by BTS

Suggestions and Summary

it is important to analyze system behavior after one feature is activated in the network, so we can
explain the root cause of abnormal kpi behavior
Case name: Abnormal distribution of VS.RRC.AttConnEstab.Reg
Phenomenon Description In country R during WCDMA optimization project, at the step of RRC CSSR optimization
RNO team found abnormal distribution of RRC attempts for registration reason. It takes around 50% of total RRC
Attempts. Hardware version is BSC6810V200R011C00SPC100.
Symptoms:
1. High RRC attempts quantity.

2. Abnormal distribution of RRC attempts for registration reason
3. No any hardware alarms.
Analyze sequence:
1. Localize the problem.

2. Analyze possible reasons.
3. Perform Drive Test.
4. Check RNC level parameters.
Analyse Procedure: From statistic for RNC 4016 VS.RRC.AttConnEstab.Reg teaks around 50% of
total RRC Attempts Connection Establishment. Attempts are normally distributed among cells.

At the same time for other 2 RNC's no such situation, RRC Attempts with Registration reason are
no more than 15%.
Such results exclude problem of CN because all 3 RNCs of this region share same CN.
So possible reasons of such situation are:
1. Wrong RNC/Cell Level parameter settings.
2. Bad coverage and frequent reselection of 2G <-> 3G networks.
For first reason we use Nastar Configuration Analysis Function to check difference in
parameters setting. No any difference.
For second reason RNO team decide to perform Drive Test to check coverage and UE
behavior. As result found that UE repeat to perform Combined RA/LA update and Location
Update every time failed with reason MSC temporarily not reachable. RA Update is
performed successfully.
This is root reason why registration quantity is so high.

About combined RA/LA:
If the optional Gs-interface is implemented and the UE has entered a new LA as well as a new RA, a combined
RA/LA update will be performed. From the MS point of view, all signalling exchange takes place towards the SGSN. The
SGSN then updates the MSC/VLR.
A combined RA/LA update takes place in network operation mode I when the UE enters a new RA or when a
GPRS-attached UE performs IMSI attach. The UE sends a Routing Area Update Request indicating that a LA update may
also need to be performed, in which case the SGSN forwards the LA update to the VLR. This concerns only CS idle mode,
since no combined RA/LA updates are performed during a CS connection.
For our network Gs interface is not configured, so we checked Network Operation Mode for PS CNDomain. It
was set to NMO=Mode1. ADD CNDOMAIN:CNDOMAINID=PS_DOMAIN, DRXCYCLELENCOEF=6, NMO=MODE1; For

other RNCs it was set to NMO=Mode2. Nastar didnt found configuration difference because its related to CN
configuration. After modification of NMO=Mode2 problem was solved and RRC attempts with registration reason
decreased to 5% level.

Suggestion: For RAN performance optimization needs to pay attention at whole network
structure including Transmission and Core Network. Wrong setting of such global parameter like
NMO brings additional UE power, radio resource consumption, additional RNC SPU and CN
signalling loading.

1) Soft Handover Overhead is high

After changing TrigTime1A = D320 on Oct. 9th

2) PS CDR reduced due to inactivity timer opt.

1) Optimize PS RB Setup timer

So what's recommended is as below:

3) High RTWP Due to Micro Wave Interference

1) DL power congestion solved by admission

40488: DL power congestion released and accessibility KPIs improved

1) PS Data traffic Increases drastically & HSDPA

traffic Decreases Simultaneously

Suddenly There is an Increases in PS data traffic & decreases in HSDPA traffic

First we need to check there is increases or decreases in RAB attemts

If we look to HS RAB Attempts then there is an 50 % Decreases hence the HS traffic

GUI Value Range

DL BE traffic threshold on HSDPA

After returning it back to its original

4) Relief High UL CE congestion by LDR action

CE Congestion released & PS RAB SR improved

5) Poor PS CSSR due to UL Power congestion

To make LDR work faster

Conclusion: Top 3 worst cells UL power Cong recover:

6) IRAT Performance Improvement Actions

QOtherRAT + CIOOtherRAT TOtherRAT + H3a/2

Recommended values of TOtherRAT:

16, namely -95dBm

16, namely -95dBm

16, namely -95dBm

Parameter Name Inter-RAT HO Physical Channel Failure Penalty Timer

Duration of the penalty for inter-RAT handover failure due to

QOtherRAT + CIOOtherRAT TOtherRAT + H3a/2

Increase timer T309

Parameter Name Timer 309

T309 is started after the UE is reselected to a cell belonging to

7) different RTWP between F1 and F2 of the same

To check we have to verify the following three parts:

was the problem,

here is for F1 G31373 and F2 G31377

1) HSDPA low throughput analysis

8) HSDPA Rate was LOW due to 16QAM not

1) Idle Mode 2G-3G optimization to stay more on

SSEARCHRAT from -8 to -9 on 3G side

Qqualmeas Qqualmin SsearchRATm

Qqualmeas Qqualmin + SsearchRATm

1) Low PS traffic on F2 cells due to missing Blind

9) PS RAB Succ Rate Degraded due to DRD

10) CSSR PS Degraded due to high PS Code

11) Low CS IRAT Handover Success Rate due to miss

main reason for the CS IRAT HO failure is due to IRATHO.FailOutCS.PhyChFail.

Note that blue counter is sum of the other 2

MML Default Value: None

BandInd Inter-RAT Cell

Meaning: When the inter-RAT cell frequency number is within the

12) Abnormal high RTWP due to improper setting

We checked hardware problems related to parameters as following:

13) Poor PS IRAT Handover SSR due to congestion

PS IRAT handover SSR of sector B and C degraded significantly at busy time.

Missing neighbouring 2G cells;

3. After expansion on adjacent 2G sites, PS IRAT HO SSR was improved significantly.

14) Analysis Report for bad RTWP on one NodeB

So we want to find what is the problem

we found the HOSWITCH_HO_INTER_FREQ_HARD_HO_SWITCH=FALSE which states that there
