TCH Block Rate Optimization Tips in Huawei GSM

TCH Block Rate is familiar KPI in GSM Networks. TCH Block rate indicate percentage of
blocking on TCH(Traffic channel) due to lack of traffic channel in a cell. In this note I would
like to share how to optimize TCH Bloking rate step by step in order to reduce TCH blocking

and configure channel capacity based on traffic needed. Below are steps you need to follow
based on my daily optimization activity in my project in Indonesia. OPTIMIZATION TIPS !

Check for hardware, make sure no hardware issue.

Hardware checking always the first thing you need to check. You have to make sure no
hardware issue before go to next optimization step.Your next action will be useless if the
problem of the KPI is hardware issue.If found hardware issue please follow up first to SUBSCRIBE
FLM(Field Maintenance) or Project Team to check and troubleshoot. You can check from
active alarm and especially from TCH Availability to make sure no TRX module faulty. If
found no hardware issue then go to next step.

Current channel configuration need to check to make sure no over dimension of other TCH Block Rate
