2. Network Optimization Activities

The following activities have been taken during the network optimization of mentioned
area:
Physical Verification of Sites for any discrepancies in implementation versus planning

data.
Refer to Single Cell Functional Test Reports for every site & 3G Master Site Database
Parameter consistency checks and implementation of Change Requests.
Detailed drive tests for various service types to verify the network performance in
terms of received signal level, call quality, call setup, handovers (Intra-Frequency &
IRAT), and call drops.
Refer to drive plots and statistics.
Coverage optimization by means of physical changes at site.
Neighbor Relations Added & Deleted during optimization (IRAT & INTRA)
Pilot Pollution optimization by means of physical changes at site.
Sector Swap rectifications

4.1 Mobility Tests at Cell Level.

In order to ensure the smooth integration of any new site onto the network, deliberate
optimization strategies are done for each site as it is commissioned, drive test would be done
twice for each site to verify different iterms showed as blew:
