Call Drop Rate improvement by Parameter change in 3G
UMTS/WCDMA Huawei Network

Call drop rate in 3G WCDMA is important thing to optimize in our Network. There are many ways to
improve drop call such as hardware problem detection, Fix Coverage overlapping, Fix Missing neighbor and
Parameter changing. You can refer to previous chapter about Drop Call Rate Improvement to know step by step
about call drop reasons and optimization. What I want to share now is about how to improve drop call rate in 3G
UMTS/WCDMA by Parameter adjustment. Before go to the topic we need to know call drop reasons in 3G UMTS:
- High Interference : As we know in that 3G UMTS/WCDMA is self interference because only use 1 frequency and
differentiated by Scrambling Code(SC).
- Pilot pollution :Happened due to Coverage overlapping.You need to make sure first no coverage overlapping and
can be solved by Physical optimization(Antenna down tilt).
- Missing Neighbor: Make sure no missing neighbor in your network to improve drop call before you start with
Parameter optimization.
- Hardware problem: You need to fix first if you found hardware issue.
After you clear main issue for above reasons then you can go to Parameter optimization to reduce drop call rate.
Here are recommended Parameter to reduce call drop rate in 3G UMTS/WCDMA for Huawei Network. If you work
for other Vendor you can refer to your document and looking for same Parameter.
1. Increase HOASUTMR
HOASUTMR meaning HO active set update response timer, A timer to RNC wait for the response to
active set update in soft handover procedure. You can improve call drop in 3G by increase this parameter.
2. Increase Parameter 2D/2F
The idea of this parameter setting is to make fast Handover to GSM network. You can increase 2D/2F parameter and
improve your drop call in 3G by moving traffic to GSM network.

Threshold to trigger inter-RAT measurement with measurement quantity of Ec/No for CS domain services
Value range: -24~0
Physical unit: dB
Content: For CS domain services, when Ec/No is used as the measurement quantity for inter-RAT measurement, the
RNC sends the signaling to activate compressed mode and start inter-RAT measurement, if the UE reports the event
2D when the measured value is smaller than the value of this parameter.
Recommended value (default value): -14
