VoLTE is a new technology and is causing operators more problems than initially expected.
One of the most common issues is Call Drop Rate when using VoLTE. Here are some main
points to verify when tackling the VoLTE Call Drop problem in your network.
To reduce VoLTE drop rate it is important to assure LTE coverage and quality:
2. Check if new sites are needed in specific areas or if radio conditions can be improved
by adjusting tilt or azimuth.
3. Consider activating features that will improve VoLTE retainability: TTI- Bundling, RRC
connection re-establishment.
6. Check other frequency definitions as well as external cell definitions in case you are
optimising a shared network.
7. Check if MSS supports SRVCC request when VoLTE UE is in alerting phase. This feature
will help to improve call drop rate in the network.
8. Interference also affects VoLTE performance. Optimise the radio network to minimise
or completely avoid internal and external interference.
9. If none of the above works, contact 3dB consult. We have the experience to tackle
any problems in your radio network: http://3dbconsult.com/en/contact.html
