 2G Cell Coverage Analysis
FINDINGS:
13 cells are covering

percentile 90,
recommended for downtilt
Weak coverage
348 cells (32%) have cells
more than 10% of RxLev
UL samples below -
100dBm indicating poor
coverage

Physical optimization and

new site proposal needed Overshooting threshold: >3km
to address weak indoor
coverage penetration

 2G Cell TRX Power Settings
FINDINGS:
Significant number of macro cells have
power attenuation parameter set that
actually reduces cell output power
below its capability.

Recommend to set all power

attenuation in macro cells to 0 and
control excessive coverage by physical
optimization.
