Case1: Jumper from TRX 4 to combiner Case2: Jumper from Duplexer to TRX 4
loose (check connectors at both ends) (check connectors at both ends)

Case3: Check common feederline from

Top of cabinet to Antenna port ( loose
connector’s at either end or High VSWR problem, TRX 2&4 in
this case use the same feeder)

In this case, the Path imbalance (DL-UL) varies between +1.6 to

-4dB which doesn’t tell much
BUT DL pathloss variations between TRX’s is from 112.8 to
136dB
& UL pathloss variations between TRX’s is from 111.2 to 140dB
DEFINITELY A PROBLEM!

 Use OSS Data to identify & pinpoint HW faults
faster
Sector A Path Balance Reports help understand any imbalance between
80.00 UL and DL
70.00
Whereas
60.00

50.00 TRX3
Eg.Pathloss comparisons between TRX’s of same sector can
40.00
TRX4 help identify loose cables or hardware faults, taking other TRX’s
TRX5
as reference case
30.00 TRX6

20.00

10.00
Eg. In Sector A:TRX 3 &4 have only 20% of DL SS samples <-
0.00
>70dBm 70-80dBm 80-90 90-100dBm <100dBm
100dBm whereas TRX 5 & 6 have 70% of their DL SS samples
Downlink Signal Strength <-100dBm.
Prob:1 Combiner Faulty
Sector B

120.00

100.00
In Sector B TRX 5 clearly had a difference in signal strength
only in Uplink.
80.00
TRX3 Prob: Rx cable found to be loose
60.00 TRX4
TRX5
40.00
The same faults can also be seen using
20.00
Rxlevel statistics from OSS shown in this
0.00
>70dBm 70-80dBm 80-90 90-100dBm <100dBm
slide, but 208 is faster for analysis!

How to identify the worst cells in your network?
• Import DL & UL pathlosses for all TRX’s
of all cells into separate columns
• Use a pivot table to get Min and Max
values of dL and Ul pathlosses in a cell
• Identify all cells with DL TRX pathloss
variatons >10dB(for a NW with huge TI
quality issues , start with 15dB)
• The same can be done for UL also
• A combined analyses for DL& UL with
>10dB diff gave a list of 58 cells for
UP(West) attached below.
• Go back to 208 report for detailed analysis
