Correct! 3.5sec 2.7ms 3.5ms 13) Same BCCH-BSIC combination in adjacency will lead Will not cause any
problem. Massive Handove failaur Call drop B & C Correct! 14) What is the reason of ping-pong
handover Cable swap No dominant cell coverage Improper handover margine All of above Correct! 15) If
there is interference on the BCCH TRx and the call is going on at the hopping Trx Call will drop Call will
be unafected Correct! Call will attempt handover due to this interference None of above 16) If in a cell
all KPI is going well but its TCH drop is high, there is no any RF and hardware issue then this TCH drop
will be due to Transcoder fail Correct! Lapd fail A & B None of them 17) Which system informations are

RSRP :- Reference signal receive power. • RSRP (dBm) = RSSI (dBm) -10*log (12*N) where RSSI =
Received Signal Strength Indicator N: number of RBs across the RSSI is measured and depends on the
