1.       What is formula of CSSR (Call Setup Success rate) in 2G?

Answer: SDCCH Assignment Success Rate * TCH Assignment Success Rate * (1- SDCCH Drop rate)

2. What is dropped call defenition?

Answer: Abnormal disconnection from Network not from UE

3. What is Radio Link Failure meaning?

Answer: event, where UE fail to decode SACCH message.

4. How is Radio Link Counter Work? When it will be drop call?

Answer: If UE fail to decode a SACCH Message then counter will decrease by 1.
But if UE Success to decode SACCH message then counter will increase by 2.
It will be drop call when BSS Radio Link Counter reach "0" Value.

5. What is radio Link Failure parameter rules between MS and BSS?

Answer: Radio Link Timeout BSS ≥ Radio Link Timeout MS
This is to ensure MS disconect connection first than BSS

6. What will happen if I put Radio Link Timeout MS with high Value?
Answer Costumer will have bad user experience (at Bad RF Condition UE still connected to Network, but there is no voice fo

7. What will happen if I put Radio Link Timeout BSS with high Value?
Answer TCH radio Resources will have more utilization due to longer TCH Holding Time. If too big utilization will cause cong

Answer: C/I
Planning Criteria >12 dB (Non Hopping)
Planning Criteria >9 dB (Hopping)
C/A
Planning Criteria >3 dB
9. How do you check interference issue if you have found Radio Link Failure problem?
Answer: Check from Interference band chart at ScanTRX report. If found interference band 3/4/5 means he have interferenc
Check from handover attempt distribution at problematic cell. If mostly due to Quality, means he have interference
Go onsite with spectrum analyzer tools. Then do frequency scanning to found unwanted frequency.

10. Please explain some issue that cause radio link timeout due to coverage.
Answer: 1. Imbalance UL/DL at TRX level
2. Coverage Hole (Blank Spot)
3. Cell Adjacent definition incomplete
4. Island sites or standalone sites.
5. Signal Attenuation

11. What happen if I put T200 value with higher or smaller value?
Answer: Higher means longer waiting time. It will cause congestion at radio channel.
Smaller means faster timer expired. It will cause high drop call due to faster disconnect connection while BSS has la

12. What happen if cell overshoot? How to check the cell wheather overshoot or not?
Answer: He will disturb surrounding cells, due to frequency collision (tight frequency reuse).
He will have high drop call due to handover failure at overshoot spot. Due to uncreate neighbor relation to cells at o
He will have hi TCH utilization, due to cover improper area (Too Much traffic covered/Traffic share not maximum).
He (cell near Border LAC) will have SDCCH Congestion due to too many location update attempt (Premature)

How to check?
1. We can plot timing advance in map info from drive test result.
2. We can measure distance to first tier neighbor. Then compare it to timing advance measurement in scantrx repo
3. He will have hi Radio Link Failure number in far Timing advance (See from ScanTRX report)

13. What is your solution to improve KPI of cell which have overshoot problem?
Answer: 1. It should be downtilt base on antenna type/Countour/Antenna height/Coverage plan

Answer: 1. We can make check antenna installation first to make sure no Swap sector and have good installation quality. Sw
. 2. If found too much downtilt, we can do antenna uptilt. Because too much downtilt also can make indoor penetrati
. 3. We can try to reduce TRX capacity if he have low utilization, it will improve combiner output power which end w
. 4. We can faster EDGEhandover from DCS1800 to GSM900 if weak level spot covered by DCS1800.
. 5. We can adjust idle parameter to make weak spot covered by hi signal level when idle
. 7. make sure no alarm at surrounding cells spot, to make sure cells working properly and no handover failure.
. 6. We can propose new sites at last if above recommendation already tried.

.
18. What is Rx Quality and value range of it?
Answer: Rx Quality is a value which present RF Quality of a cell (Related to BER of a cell). It have value from 0 to 7
. 0 is good and 7 is bad.
.
19. What is timing advance function of? What is TA value range?
Answer: Timing advance is a meaurement which represent Coverage of a cells. 1 Timing advance equal to 550 meter
. It have range 0 to 63 (0 meter to 31.5 kilometer)

22. What is your action to improve SDSR (SDCCH Success rate)?
Answer: 1. Ensure no SDCCH Blocking, if found then add more SDCCH Capacity or Apply for SDCCH dynamic if TCHF Not cong
. 2. Check if sites at LAC Border, then check for Location update performance to make sure SDCCH not too much bus
. 3. Check if Cell has interferenceand overshoot issue, please fix it soon.

Answer: 1. Try to do channel dimensioning between TCHFR, SDCCH, PDTCH to make proper capacity allocation base on traffi
. 2. Check for PDTCH Capacity utilization. Is it congesting or not? If Yes, then add more PS capacity (PDTCH/TCHFR)
. 3. Faster CS handover to Cell neighbor for CS load share. At last we have more radio PS capacity (PDTCH/TCHFR).
. 4. If PDTCH still congest, then propose TRX upgrade (if TRX Utilization > 90%)
. 5. Check for Abis Interface Capacity, include TRX to E1 mapping (For BTS with > 1 E1 capacity). Make E1 Load balanc
. 6. Try to add more E1 if Abis utilization already reach >85%.
