DATA COLLECTION

Lets begin!

Data of network plan

Network basic information collection


The base of network plan and
optimization

The engineering survey data of new


sites

Confirm the network plan


information.

The Engineering data of the current


network

Understand the current network .

The configuration NMS data.

Understand the current network


configuration. Collection of various
performance reports of the currently
deployed network.
Subscribers complain

The supplement information showing


the network quality.

OPTIMIZATION OBJECTIVES

Finding and correcting any existing problems after site


implementation and integration.

Meeting the network quality criteria agreed in the contract.

Optimization will be continuous and iterative process of


improving overall network quality.

Optimization can not reduce the performance of the rest of


the network.

Area of interest is divided in smaller areas called clusters


to make optimization and follow up processes easier to
handle.

PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

Problem Analysis
Conduct Drive testing

Gather statistics
Subject to investigage (Faulty TRX, Coverage
overlaps, drop calls, capacity & interference issues)

Simulate real-time scenario on TEMS (after DT)


Export into MAPInfo to check cell overshoot
coverage, etc
Propose solution

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

Good signal coverage at macro and


micro sites

Rx Quality level should be good

No interference issue

CONCLUSION

Satisfactory coverage and quality were


found

In most of the location, additional walk


test has been carried out where Operator
hasnt deployed micro layer

Macro sites should provide coverage to


mobile users located in open environment
