 Traffic shifting SOP from 3G to 4G
STEP for traffic shifting Detail for step
3G Traffic YES if below counter showing zero value, Need to check parameter
1. Check Parameter setting for setting :VS.U2LTEHO.RRCRelease.FastReturn.Blind,
ratio U2L VS.U2LTEHO.RRCRelease.Service
higher than
For parameter setting follow page no 3&4
4G Check Tilt delta from U2K
2. Check Tilt delta Need to check minimum tilt requirement for up-tilt
No Follow page no-6
If observed tilt delta: need to Match tilt/TA with U21
No need to take any
action for traffic shifting 3. Check Average TA from OSS Check average TA delta & discovery coverage plot
& Discovery coverage plot 3G OSS Formula for avg TA :Average_TP(meter in Distance)
4G OSS Formula for avg TA :Average of TA_Distance(m)

4. Check antenna If antenna height/azimuth mismatch:

height/azimuth difference for Based on antenna height need to deicide tilt setting
3G & 4G

If tilt delta <0 & 3G traffic ration >50%

5. Up tilt L18/L26/L21 for to
Action: Need to up tilt L18/L26/L21
match 3G coverage
Condition for up tilt: PRB Utilization<50%
