Feature Overview – Background and Benefits to Customers
With the introduction of VoLTE, the network performance measured by the traditional KPI (such as access and call
drop) assessment system has become inadequate to meet subscribers' requirements on the quality of voice
services.
Subscribers want better voice service experience, such as high clearness, zero delay, and fast connection.
The factors affecting voice quality include speech coding, packet loss rate, delay, and jitter. The key one of these
factors is the packet loss rate. Abnormal packet loss rate will directly lead to voice quality deterioration. During
problem identification, analysis, and resolution, the current VoLTE optimization depends on frequent drive tests,
complaints, and experience. This results in passive responses to voice problems and low efficiency of optimization.
The feature, VoLTE Packet Loss Optimization, can be used to automatically identify and optimize abnormal voice
packet loss over the VoLTE air interface. This decreases the VoLTE Packet Loss over the air interface, and improves
voice quality.

 Basic Principles – Root Cause 1
Overview
(1) Screen all the CHRs of calls with abnormal packet loss in the problematic cell, analyze information, such as the uplink and downlink MRs, in the CHRs. Identify the
proportion of weak coverage MRs and interference MRs, and the category with the highest proportion. The MR with the highest proportion is the root cause for packet
loss exceptions in the problematic cell.
Note: The air interface root cause can be subdivided into categories, such as depth, local end, remote end, and no primary serving cell, some of which will be used as the
input to the air interface root cause algorithm based on manual experience rules.
They may also be displayed as the information to facilitate decision making, and used as the reference for live network optimization.
(2) Analyze the PM data and counters, such as the busy hour load and ROHC decompression failure rate, of problematic cells, and identify the root cause for abnormal packet
loss caused by resource or eNodeB-side ROHC problems.
(3) Check and optimize VoLTE and cell-level parameters based on the configuration and root cause analysis results.
