The call drop caused by SRVCC runs with interpretation of SRVCC preparation or interpretation of
SRVCC execution. There is no independent entrance of call drop, so there is only the result of classify
problem cells and root cause of problem cells, but no evaluating result.
2. Navigate to the VoLTE Accurate Optimization module on
the OMStar, create an analysis task, set required parameters,
and select the handover execution scenario. 1.Delimitate and classify problem cells, including No A2, Exist A2 No B1/B2 and Exist A2 Exist B1/B2.
Generated reports of the four VoLTE features are similar. Each report consists of five parts. The call drop feature is used as an example.
