Access Failure Reasons
Random access fail reasons:
Bad RF conditions ( SINR<-3 or RSRP<120)
UE configuration parameter (Monitor the
top-1 fail UE for analysis)
Enode-B configuration parameter
(Parameter checking at the TOP-1 fail site)
Core-network configuration parameter (If
all the site in one CN often fail)
RRC Setup Fail reasons:
Case-1: often fail by One UE: trace the
UE and get the RF signal performance.
Maybe cause by the UE signal or UE
configuration setting.
Case-2: Often fail in one site by different
UEs: Trouble shooting the problem site.
Authentication will happen between UE and MME, EnodeB just transfer
the information. So we have to check the S1 interface message
in core-M2000.
Authentication fail in three reasons:
UE did not feedback all the information (4 messages). -----check
the UE signal conditions.
Core-Network no reply Initial UE context setup Req)-----UE and
CN need to be check.
Core-Network release S1 UE Context Rel_CMD-----UE and CN
need to be check.
ERAB fail Reason:
Security
Security mode negotiation problem (RRC SEQUR Mode Fail reply by
UE)----UE problem
Security mode negotiation problem (No receive RRC SECUR MODE
CMP from UE----UE RF conditions.
UE CAP enquiry fail.(No receive RRC_UE_CAP_RSPfrom UE----UE RF
conditions.
RECFM not complete (No receive RRC CONN RECFG CMP from
UE)----UE RF conditions.

ANR vs UE capability : Inter-eNodeB
1. The source eNodeB delivers the intra-frequency
measurement configuration to the UE, instructing the
UE to measure neighboring cells that work on the
frequencies specified in the measurement
configuration.
2. The UE detects that the PCI of cell B meets the
measurement requirements, and reports the PCI to
the source eNodeB.
3. The source eNodeB checks whether its intra-RAT NCL
includes the PCI of cell B. If so, the procedure ends. If
not, the source eNodeB sends the measurement
configuration to the UE, instructing the UE to read
the ECGI, tracking area code (TAC), and PLMN ID list
of cell B.
4. The source eNodeB allows the UE to read these
parameters over the broadcast channel (BCH).
5. The UE reports the obtained parameter values to the
Notes:
source eNodeB.
ANR features of an UE will effect the capability of the UE to read the ECGI, TAC and other information of the
target cell. Thus, failure to do so the target cell information cant be read.

ANR vs UE capability : Intra-eNodeB
1. The source eNodeB delivers the intrafrequency measurement configuration to the
UE, instructing the UE to measure
neighboring cells that work on the
frequencies specified in the measurement
configuration.

same BBU board, thus target
cell information can be search and obtain
internally referring to the PCI.
Therefore although UE doesnt support ANR
features, it doesnt affect the reading of ECGI,
TAC and other information of the target cell
which required for the creation of NCL.
