Steps:

1. check RLT If DCR is high & also SD Drops BSS is high and everything else seems fine then check RLT time
check 153 & 074 for NBR relations & also coverage area (TA) so that Undefined NBR's can be
2. HO Drops added, also we can apply HO Margin / rxlevmincell to encourage / discourage HO to unwanted
NBR's
3. RF Drops check TA report for overshoots/qual report to identify TRX with bad qual/ DCS-GSM KPI split repo
if some abnormal behaviour in DCR/CSSR is observed then check whether expansion has been
4. Check for Expansions carried out on site, that can effect the KPI's severly check new TRX freq/MAL/MAIO & QUAL from
196 report.
5. for high Blocking check FRU_FRL settings from Dump & geniune BLK then purpose expansion
