Radio Access Success Rate
Radio access success rate = RRC establishment success
rate × RAB establishment success rate
This formula indicates that RRC establishment rate and
RAB establishment rate need to be considered in the
background statistics.
RRC establishment success rate = Number of successful
RRC connection setup times of each cell / Number of RRC
connection request times of each cell × 100%
Note: related with services (RRC connection)
RAB establishment success rate = Number of successful
RAB establishment times / Number of RAB establishment
attempts × 100%
RAB establishment success rate is categorized by service.
Access Success Rate Analysis Process
Access Failure Caused by RAB Establishment
Failure
There are two restraints in RAB establishment process.
One is RB establishment which is the UE configuration
process (usually no problems occur in this process); and
the other is radio link re-configuration process in which
NodeB links are configured. Failures often occur in the
latter process. The usual causes for these failures include
radio link re-configuration preparation failure (it occurs
when problems occur in NodeB resources.), and radio link
re-configuration cancellation (it occurs when problems
occur in RNC internal resources or process). Another
factor may also cause RAB failures, that is, when the load
of a cell is relatively heavy, RNC sends out a reject
command via admission control.
Call Drop Optimization
Handover Success Rate Optimization
Factors affecting handover success rate
z Handover area is too small, so that UEs have not enough time to
complete handover.
z Handover parameters are wrongly set, so that neighbor cells
cannot be added or deleted timely, or causing ping-pong handover.
z Neighbor cells are not configured. This may cause damage to the
network, not only directly causing call drop, but also brings extra
interference towards the network.

Resource KPI monitor
One reason for resource limitation is number of 3G user increase, and
operator changing fee decrease also lead to the increase of average
erlang. The other reason is the strategy for design is focus on user
feeling and KPI but not system capacity. For example HK user average
Erl cold be up to 0.5E.
Resource KPI monitor
Single user erlang could be 0.45erl on BH:

。MinHspaPwrRto default value is 20%.
DL power monitor
Because high load cell often be with high admission failure, normally
we should fast downgrade to release radio resource ASAP. Avoid
handover user could not handover in the cell then call dropped.(this
action is only take effect in cell with much more PS users, if all users in
the cell is in CS service. It will not take effect).

Case 2: Wrong LAC Configuration
After the configuration data check, we found that there are
several cells with a wrong LAC configuration.
We need KPI monitor tools to give us an evidence.
Use SAY Site as an example:
z Number of attempted RRC Establishment is more than 100,000
times while only around 6,000 times for services.
Case 3:High Call Drop Rate Due To The
NSN Sites Interference
Background
z After the KPI monitoring, we found the drop rate around
Convention and Exhibition Center is quite high.
After the drive test and KPI analysis, we found the reason
is that the NSN LUR site F1 is still open.
After the site is turned off on 12th May the call drop rate
decreased.
Case 3:High Call Drop Rate Due To The
NSN Sites Interference
Case 4: High Call Drop Rate due to Power Alarm
