Bago 900MHz interference case

<Updated information>
• MOC has completed unblocked 15 G900 cells on 8th Aug.
• MA analysis –No degradation observe in performance KPIs. Overall KPIs are stable.
• Bago cell status as of Wk34 as shown Fig- A
• Low interference (Blocked) Total count = 437 GUL cells. [169(-15) GSM], [184 UMTS] , [84 LTE].
• High interference (Keep Monitor) Total count = 168 GUL cells (79 (+15) GSM), (64 UMTS) , (25 LTE).
• Regional team feedback for testing location is awaited

<Background>
• Request received from MPT regional team “Difficulty of making a phone call” on 21 April 2022.
• High interference in the 900MHz band in Bago city starts on 13 April. [Mute call is high and impacts CS user experience].
• 900MHz interference is recovered starting from 17 May 2022 & increased again from 31 May
• Multiple optimization actions completed
<Next action>
• Total impacted within the polygon = 248 RRU 900 band (605 cells)
(G900 – 248 cells, U900 – 248 cells, L900 – 109 cells) – 119 sites
• Proceed to 900 band RRU block = 184/248 (No risk) (452 cells)
(G900 – 184 cells, U900 – 184 cells, L900 – 84 cells) – 93 sites
• Not proceed to 900 band RRU block = 64/248 (Have Risk) (153 cells)
(G900 – 64 cells, U900 – 64 cells, L900 – 25 cells) – 26 sites
Temporary solution
Block 184 RRU (452 cells) (900 band) *OPEX cost (power saving by block)
 Voice traffic: G9 Traffic loss as handset limitation as some users not supporting UMTS technology
 Data traffic: No impact
Permanent solution :
o Need to perform field hunting in this area to identify external sources & request to PTD shutdown the sources.
o However, the region team has suggested not to send a hunting team due to safety issues.
<Info> RRU/cells will be unblocked once interference is back to normal
