Observation: PN 273, 423, 276 & 366 are transmitting in this area. DN63XC038 alpha and beta sectors are not in LOS to this location. DN36XC650 is
dominant in this area, so we recommended to remove the far away over shooters to reduce pollution . DN73XC066 beta PN 276 is overshooting from
3rd tier and DN03XC009 gamma PN 366 is overshooting from 2nd tier. Current RET on DN73XC066 beta is 2/4 deg and DN03XC009 gamma is at 3/7
deg. Downtilt both these PN’s by atleast 1 deg.

Over shooter
• Over shooter: Identify over shooters which are transmitting till 3rd or 4th tiers. We recommended to
downtilt the overshooter if dominant PN is already existing in that area. In the below case we didn’t
implement the RET changes because there are no other sites in airport area so we may lose the coverage.
But we did RET change on DN03XC111 PN 255.

Sector Swap issues
• Sector swap issues: Need to verify the Sector swap by looking at the PN/PCI from drive data.
Check LTE Technology for Sector swap. Open TRAMS ticket and work with EMS FT to fix the issue.

Coverage holes
• Coverage holes: Identify coverage holes and try to improve those areas with the help of RET changes.
Mostly due to challenging terrain issues we are seeing those kind of scenarios. No sector is coming
dominant in this area.

DN25XC004 is a 3 sector
site now but still its
unable to reach this area.

Good Ec & Poor Ec/Io Analysis
• Based on PSTN drive data we did Good Ec vs Poor Ec/Io analysis.
• Good coverage: greater than -95dbm and Poor Ec/Io: less than -14db.
• We identified all the poor Ec/Io areas and provided necessary recommendations to improve them.
• Refer to next slide for review a sample.
