Answer Pages:

1. Answers for Question-1:

C1 = RxLev – RxLevAMI
RxLevAMI is minimum level allowed MS to Access the network (BTS)
C2 = C1 + 2 * CRESOFF
2. Answers for Question-2:
Can be seen from the table the distance MS from serving Cell it’s about 550
meter.
The meaning of TX Power value is the power transmitted from MS to BTS in
dBm.
3. Answers for Question-3:
We can see from the table MS serving in timeslot 7.
To TRX we can see from the table TRX is not in BCCH (hopping channel Yes)
Hopping frequency In 19,23,35. It’s mean can be seen from the MAIO. MS
Serving in TRX 1.
4. Answers for Question-4:
At Frequency(ARFCN) 23 the C/I value 22. it’s mean the comparizon
between RxLev Carrier with RX Lev Interference the value 22. for e.g. if Rx
Lev Carrier -60 so RX Lev Interference -82.
5. Answers for Question-5:
Can be Seen from the diagram
ARFCN = 16; Rx Lev = -108
6. Answers for Question-6:
The diference Transmission Principle using FDMA And TDMA
FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) : The Available frequency
reserves are divided into channels of the same bandwidth.
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) : The allocation frequency range is
made with respect to time.
Purpose SDCCH for Signaling, Call Setup,SMS and Location Area update.
GSM Network Element
 7. Answers for Question-7:
The advantages Frequency Hopping are reduces the loses due to fading,
multipath propagation, and co-channel interference.
Subcriber Benefit
- Improved resistanceto sources of co channel interference
- Improved Speech quality for slow moving mobile
- Increased frequency reuse and system capacity
Perbedaan SFH dan BBH
- Frekuensi yang dihopping (BBH frekuensi tiap TRX itu sendiri, SFH
menggunakan TCH group/Mobile Allocation)
- Untuk SFH, semua timeslot dalam TRX:0 tidak dapat dihopping. Untuk
BBH, hanya timeslot:0 di TRX:0 yang tidak dapat dihopping.
If I found bad voice quality due to interference on the BCCH while the FER is
good I would do scanning frequency in the bad voice quality area and report
the result to KPI cluster or KPI coordinator.

If I found bad voice quality due to interference on the non BCCH Trx of SFH
1x1 cells while FER is good enabled Power Control the site sorounding and
check MAIO. If MAIO is broken change MAIO.
8. Answers for Question-8:
MS will do power Budget Handover when serving cell and neighbour
dominant while the Handover Margin too small.
SDCCH blocking
TCH Blocking
Treshold RACH di setting terlalu besar sehingga RACH dari MS terlalu lemah
ditangkap BTS.
Pengalaman dilapangan Handover failure sering terjadi karena jarak
neighbournya yang terlalu jauh.
Bad Rx Quality and SQI mungkin karena interferensi sehingga menyebabkan
Handover failure.
Level yang terlalu lemah dapat menyebabkan HO fail terjadi.

9. Answers for Question-9:

Power control selalu bekerja mengatur level carrier mengikuti kondisi
interferensi yang terjadi dapat dilihat dari rumus C/I.
 10.Answers for Question-10:
bonus
11.Answers for Question-11:
DTX function to reduce the interference level in the air.

12.Answers for Question-12:

Report ke KPI cluster atau KPI koordinator mengenai kejadian tersebut dengan
menceritakan parameter-parameter di software TEMS sebelum terjadi Dropcall
dan meminta advise dari mereka apakah hal yang sebaiknya dilakukan.
13.Answers for Question-13:
Bawa logfile dan running ulang the logfile. Amati dengan seksama
kemungkinan customer akan complain dengan logfile tersebut, tapi jika
setelah kita amati dengan seksama kita tidak menemukan hal tersebut
langkah selanjutnya yang dilakukan adalah membuat drivetest report
dengan selengkap-lengkapnya dan justifikasi jika diperlukan.
 Pada kondisi tersebut saya akan mendiskusikan pada costumer mengenai
definisi pingpong Hanndover yang baku dan membuat kesepakatan tertulis
mengenai pingpong HO agar satu sama lain mempunyai kesepakatan mengenai
pingpong HO. Jika apa yang mereka complain tersebut memang sesuai dengan
kesepakatan bahwa di dekat site terjadi Pingpong HO maka kita jelaskan
apakah penyebab pingpong HO tersebut. Apakah karena contour dapat kita
cantumkan photo-photo pada saat kita melakukan DT atau penyebabnya karena
database seringkali didekat site Rx lev nya sama-sama kuat sehingga perlu ada
yang dominan solusinya database maintenance.
14.Answers for Question-14:
Map update dan data tracking.
Covlot karena yang menjadi patokan pada saat DT ketika adalah covlot kita
dapat mengetahui sementara hsil Dtnya dengan membandingkan covlot dengan
Kondisi sebenarnya dilapangan.
DBCR update untuk mengetahui orientasi antena, frekuensi, neighbour, cukup
membantu untuk mengetahui data-data yabg ada pada site tersebut.
Data target objektif dari site tersebut karena kita patokannya adalah covlot
sehingga kadang-kadang melebihi target objektif dari site tersebut jika terjadi
apa-apa misalnya hasilnya jelek padahal sudah melebihi target objektifnya
maka dapat kita jelaskan pada customer.
Driver Back up (Windows installer TEMS Software) jika terjadi hal-hal yang
tidak diinginkan pada notebook pada saat dilapangan.
15.Answers for question-15:
Frekensi reuse adalah
Pengulangan kembali frekuensi diluar jangkauan interferensinya.

good cell coverage overlapped adalah

Daerah dengan good level yang diserving oleh dua cell yang beamwidth horisontalnya
overlap. Hal ini dapat mengimprove handover karena cell border menjadi baik namun
karena sinyal sama2 kuat, bisa terjadi pingpong ho.

coverage overshoot adalah

Coverage dari suatu cell melebihi cell/site lain dengan kondisi level yang masih baik.
What is the negative effect of “overshoot coverage” and how to reduce it?
- Tidak ada cell yang dominan
- Memungkinkan interferensi ke site lain
- Dapat menyebabkan blocking karena mengambil traffic yang bukan service area
blocknya.

Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut lakukan downtilt.
