Radio access success rate = RRC establishment success rate RAB

establishment success rate
This formula indicates that RRC establishment rate and RAB
establishment rate need to be considered in the background statistics.
RRC establishment success rate = Number of successful RRC connection
setup times of each cell / Number of RRC connection request times of
each cell 100
Note: related with services (RRC connection)
RAB establishment success rate = Number of successful RAB
establishment times / Number of RAB establishment attempts 100%
RAB establishment success rate is categorized by service.

Access Success Rate Analysis Process

Access Failure Caused by RAB Establishment
Failure
There are two restraints in RAB establishment process. One is
RB establishment which is the UE configuration process (usually
no problems occur in this process); and the other is radio link re-
configuration process in which NodeB links are configured.
Failures often occur in the latter process. The usual causes for
these failures include radio link re-configuration preparation
failure (it occurs when problems occur in NodeB resources.), and
radio link re-configuration cancellation (it occurs when problems
occur in RNC internal resources or process). Another factor may
also cause RAB failures, that is, when the load of a cell is
relatively heavy, RNC sends out a reject command via admission
control.

Call Drop Optimization

Handover Success Rate Optimization
Factors affecting handover success rate

Handover area is too small, so that UEs have not enough time to complete
handover.
Handover parameters are wrongly set, so that neighbor cells cannot be
added or deleted timely, or causing ping-pong handover.
Neighbor cells are not configured. This may cause damage to the network,
not only directly causing call drop, but also brings extra interference towards
the network.

Resource KPI monitor
One reason for resource limitation is number of 3G user increase, and operator
changing fee decrease also lead to the increase of average erlang. The other
reason is the strategy for design is focus on user feeling and KPI but not system
capacity. For example HK user average Erl cold be up to 0.5E.

Single user erlang could be 0.45erl on BH

Because high load cell often be with high admission failure,

normally we should fast downgrade to release radio resource
ASAP. Avoid handover user could not handover in the cell then
call dropped.(this action is only take effect in cell with much
more PS users, if all users in the cell is in CS service. It will not
take effect).

While we need detailed evaluation to avoid some other bad
effect. Table showed record for the modification, and can be
consider as the reference. ZTE engineering experience showed
downgrade Eb/No for 13.6K signaling channel could reduce TCP
limitation effectively, while the performance of access will not be

UL capacity monitor
Erlang is determining factor for UL limitation either. There are

many factors related to the erlang of a cell. Normally we should
care for cell capacity, if erlang in a cell exceed 20 erlang in BH.

UL capacity monitor
UL Power control parameter modification. The quality of users

will be down as a consequent of capacity increasing.
Optimization will do trade-off between capacity and quality.

UL capacity monitor
Through UL power control parameter optimization we can

improve RTWP increasing, but some cells will be in trouble for
user increasing. And further modification to SIRtarget will affect
subscriber feeling. For this case ZTE suggest to define another
set of power control parameter which is special for these high
load cells. The following table is comparison of parameters for
special site and parameters for normal site.
SRVTYPE ULINITSIR ULMAXSIR ULMINSIR
0 3.5->1.5 10.0->3.5 2.0->1.0

Code resource monitor
Through observing "Number of rejected services, DCH no code we could

know cell is in code limitation. Also average code resource usage and
HSDPA user number could be factor for determination and optimization. We
could modify the code allocation to reduce code limitation.
OcuRateNoHspdsch+OcuRateHspdsch+DpchCodeHy+32<=512 formula 1
OcuRateNoHspdsch+OcuRateHspdsch+CodeUptHyA>512 formula 2
OcuRateHspdsch is the number of code (SF=512) which is blocked by the code occupied by HS-
PDSCH channel.
OcuRateNoHspdsch is the number of code (SF=512) which is blocked by the code occupied by not
HS-PDSCH channel.
DpchCodeHy is the number of code (SF=512) reserved for DPCH channel.
CodeUptHyA is the threshold to determine if we need decrease HS-PDSCH channel number.
When formula1 is fulfilled NO. of HS-PDSCH +1.

When formula 2 is fulfilled NO. of HS-PDSCH -1.

Code resource monitor

KPI Case study
Case 1: TCP Congestion at Victory Park
Background
Victory Park more than 100,000
People Gathering
Time is 20:00 June 4th
KPI Indication
Performance deteriorate for site
VPK at Victory Park
Call Drop Rate Increase
Site VPK Transmission Code
Power Congestion

Case 1:Call Drop Rate & Number is high in VPK

Case 1:VPK Radio Access Rate and Rejected
Services by TCP limit

Case 2: Wrong LAC Configuration
After the configuration data check, we found that there are

several cells with a wrong LAC configuration.
We need KPI monitor tools to give us an evidence.
Use SAY Site as an example:
Number of attempted RRC Establishment is more than 100,000 times while
only around 6,000 times for services.

Case 3High Call Drop Rate Due To The NSN
Sites Interference
Background
After the KPI monitoring, we found the drop rate around Convention and
Exhibition Center is quite high.
After the drive test and KPI analysis, we found the reason is that
the NSN LUR site F1 is still open.
After the site is turned off on 12th May the call drop rate
decreased.

Case 3High Call Drop Rate Due To The NSN
Sites Interference

Case 4: High Call Drop Rate due to Power Alarm
Site CTW has very high call drop rate.

After checking the Fault management Alarm, there are a lot of
board reboots alarm.
After checking the NodeB, the reason for this alarm is non-
sufficient power supply due to GSM, UMTS and NSN BTS in very
narrow space with a temporary power solution.
Three times Node B is out of service(198083023) during
15:00 to 16:00 on June 11th.



Case 5: Iub E1/T1 Bandwidth Limitation
Background:
After 80% NSN UMTS users are cut into the network on may 11th, subscriber
number increased a lot
KPI Indication:
Cell RAB establishment success rate decreased a lot.
Analysis
Capacity related.
After checking the related configuration, Iub interface E1/T1 bandwidth
limitation is a key reason for the problem.
Solution:
Decrease some of the cells Pilot Channel Power
Increase Iub interface bandwidth

Case 5: Iub E1/T1 Bandwidth Limitation
