Question.

1: Answer:

How many Scrambling codes are there in downlink. 512 Primary and all together 8192 (512 x 16)

Query: Please explain me about this 16, How SCR codes become 8192, BCZ I didnt saw any 8192 SCR, from Mobile it scans upto 512 only Primary 512 and secondary 16. 512*16=8192 EXCEPT PRIMARY CCPCH (BCCH) which uses Primary SCR code, other downlink CH's can use either Primary or secondary SCR Codes, from the set associated with primary SCR code Du mobile dubai CH no = 10662, Freq = 10662/5 = 2132.4 DL UL = 2132.4 - 190 = 1942.4 MHz

Zain Bahrain 10563 channel no 10563/5= 2112.6 Mhz downlink 2112.6-190= 1922.6 Uplink Question.2: Answer: Query: What are the events for Soft Handover? Events from 1A to 1l. Please tell me about the Events

The triggering of the event-triggered reporting for an intra-frequency measurement. All events concerning intra-frequency measurements are labelled 1x where x is a, b, c. Event 1a: A Primary CPICH enters the Reporting Range (FDD only). Event 1b: A Primary CPICH leaves the Reporting Range (FDD only). Event 1c: A Non-active Primary CPICH becomes better than an active Primary CPICH (FDD only). Event 1d: Change of best cell (FDD only). Event 1e: A Primary CPICH becomes better than an absolute threshold (FDD only). Event 1f: A Primary CPICH becomes worse than an absolute threshold (FDD only). Event 1g: Change of best cell in TDD. Event 1h: Timeslot ISCP below a certain threshold (TDD only). Event 1i: Timeslot ISCP above a certain threshold (TDD only).

Question.3: Answer: Query:

What is the Length of TTI (Transmission Time Interval) in HSDPA? Its length is 3 Timeslots (2ms) TTI (explanation)

TTI is the transmit time interval of a data packet in HSDPA. In EDGE and GPRS it was 10ms. Hence, get faster throughput in HSDPA. Question.4: classify them? Answer: Query: How many RAB's can be established at one time during Mobile TV session,

3 RAB's can be established, 2CS and 1PS. Please explain me in detail about Mobile TV Session and its classifications

I will look for it. Mobile TV is not enabled (streaming) here. Question.5: Answer: How many Channel Elements are there in one WSPC Card? 256.

Query: Need some explanation about CE: like which CH element assign for which service, how utilizing 256 CH elements and all One WSPC has 64 channel elements. (256 CE on a site, having 4 WSPC cards) 16 CE for transmission and signaling. 16 reserved for HSDPA. Rest for voice and video call. One voice call takes one CE. A video call utilizes 4 CE. 256 CE (4WSPC) will utilize the same 16 CE for signaling and 16 CE reserved for HSDPA depending on how they have been configured in the cabinet. How many CE utilization codes Question.6: Answer: How many types of Inter System Handovers are there? Clasify any three There are 8 different types of ISHO, they are as follows:

1> Low measured absolute CPICH EcNo. 2> Low measured absolute CPICH RsCp. 3> Max. Ue Tx Power. 4> Max Dl DPCH. 5> Degraded in uplink Quality. 6> Emergency based HO.

7> Load or Service based HO. 8> IMSI based HO Query: RxCp handovers are disabled ?, what is DI DPCH, DI or DL ?

RxCp is Received signal code power RSCP, and not disabled. DL DPCH is downlink dedicated physical channel. The UMTS system uses the Downlink DPCH (Downlink Dedicated Physical Channel) to carry the DPDCH (Dedicated Physical Data Channel) and the DPCCH (Dedicated Physical Control Channel). DPDCH - Dedicated Physical Data Channel The Dedicated Physical Data Channel is a type of uplink dedicated physical channel. It is an I/Q code, multiplexed within each radio frame. The uplink DPDCH is used to carry the DCH (Dedicated Channel) transport channel. There may be zero, one, or several uplink DPDCH on each radio link. DPCCH - Dedicated Physical Control Channel The Dedicated Physical Control Channel is a type of uplink dedicated physical channel. It is an I/Q code, multiplexed within each radio frame. The uplink DPCCH is used to carry the DCH (Dedicated Channel) transport channel. The uplink DPCCH is used to carry control information generated at Layer 1. Question.7: Answer: What are the main causes for a RRC Connection Release. Some of the causes are as follows:

1> Excessive Load in the Neighbor cells. 2> Hard Blocking in the target cell. 3> Un availability in the DL Spreading codes Query: reasons But why the RRC Connection will be released then for above mentioned

Reason.1-> I think its saying that the current serving cell is congested and on the neighbor cell traffic is high as well. UE sends the RRC connection request message and admission control rejects it due to congestions. All the three reasons above are related to congestion. i.e blocking in the cell -> no code available. But in my opinion apart from this 1. UE sends RRC connection request but RNC doesnt receive RRC Connection Request message due to excessive path loss or when the RNC sends back the RRC Connection Setup message to UE, The UE does not receive it. So it will release the connection. (problem is coverage) 2. If the cell/RNC doesnt respond with an RRC Connection Setup message then the mobile will wait for a specific amount of time, and make the request again. The total number of requests and the wait time is specified by the network. This usually happens because:

RNC is not able to receive the message due to a possible faulty synchronisation on the Iub (DAC Word/10 Mhz) or Sleeping cell problem, UL interference. Question.8: If the 3G network has to be utilized most in terms of PS traffic what RSCP and EcIo thresholds are to be considered. Answer: from 3G to 2G -> RSCP should be -115 from 2G to 3G -> EcIo should be -12 Query: I want to know this that how to utilize most in terms of PS Traffic, EcIo threshold could be different according to Site capacity Here its talking about 2G-3G EcIo. It will handover to 3G once the quality of a 2G serving cell is --12. That means immediate HO to 3G service. RSCP -115, means it will handover to 2G when RSCP is very low, keeping low threshold to delay the handover from 3G-2G. And yes you are right if the site is congested ->high code utilization, PS traffic will be low as well or high NRT RRC and RAB drops, EcNo threshold can be different. Question.9: Answer: How to resolve the registration failures from the UE The registration failures could be due to two main reasons which are as follows:

1> User trying to register from far location->Solution to this reason is adjust the tilting 2> Hardware problem->Give a hard reset Query: Is this is the only solution, what about Pilot power reduction, or increase, Adjusting Active Window Size, SCR Conflict, or other parameter to change ? Yes we can do the pilot power reduction. But increasing window size wont help, as still this far serving site would be the best server. (We can discuss) Question 10: Failures? Answer: What are the main reasons for RRC Setup Success Failures or RAB Sutup

High EcNo, Low Coverage or Hardware issue

Query: EcNo could be higher in area where sites will be more close to each other and Interference is high also PN pollution, but how this will effect RRC Setup Success failure, what about if EcNo is good but RsCp is poor, bcz in remote sites where no Interference there EcNo will definitely be good but not RsCp, please explain in detail ? Look even if the sites are close to each other you have to control the foot print of both the sites. Interference would be high and the quality would be bad if the cell is congested and hence no more RRC setups will be allowed or the same reason I mentioned due to the radio conditions RNC does not receive the RRC connection request message or UE doesnt receive RRC connection setup message. Reasons as follows: RRC fails due to Handover Control RRC fails due to Admission control RRC fails due to BTS

RRC fails due to RNC RRC fails due to frozen BTS RRC fails due to radio RRC fails due to MS Same reasons for the RAB failures Question.11: Answer: What are the KPI's for RRC/RAB Access? RRC Connection Setup Success Rate(service)(>95%) RRC Connection Setup Success Rate(other)(>95%) AMR RAB Assignment Success Rate(>95%) Video Call RAB Assignment Success Rate(>95%) PS RAB Assignment Success Rate(>95%) RB Setup Success Rate(>95%) Query: This is most Important I have never seen how to and from where to extract the KPIs and they comes under which KPI set, if possible then please take snap shot of the Reporting suit and details from where to extract which KPIs We dont have reporting suite here. We receive a 3G cell report where all these KPIs are there. I can send u a few reports of reporting suite which I had extracted for sharjah RNC.

Question.12: Answer: Query:

Generally how many HS-SCCH Channels are in one cell of HSDPA? HSDPA can have 4 HS-SCCH Channel in a cell normally. Need details explanation on HS-SCCH, what is the Full form if it ?

High speed shared control channel carries H-ARQ (hybrid automated response request) information (process number, redundancy version and new data indicator) and (channelization code set, modulation scheme, transport block size) Up to 4 logical channels per UE
