Review
In
addition,
as
the
network
matures,
the
optimization process should be enhanced to take into account statistical data and key performance indicators collected throughout the network.

RF Optimization
Once all the sites in a given area are integrated and verified, RF
(or Cluster) optimization could begin.
Objectives
To optimize coverage while in the same time keeping interference and pilot pollution under control over the target area. This phase also includes the verification and optimization of the 3G neighbor lists.

To assess the performance and identify any need for specific parameter optimization.

Results of the regular analysis may necessitate re-visits to the RF optimization and/or parameters tuning.
Objectives
To identify any new issues that could arise, for example, as a result of increase in traffic or changes in the environment.

RF Optimization - Preparation
Clutters
RF optimization should be carried out for groups or clusters of sites rather than on single site basis.
Drive Routes
Cluster drive surveys should include the coverage areas of each cell and all the major roads and streets as well as any other important locations.

This could be due to a high site or non-optimum antenna tilts. Cells with too large dominance will be causing interference to

Areas of non-dominance:
Areas where there is not a single clear dominant cell and where
the best server changes too frequently.
Result: Excessive number of soft hand off events reducing the system efficiency and increasing the probability of call drops.

The neighbor list could be verified and optimized using the Neighbor List Verification tool within Actix.
Retain: This indicates that those neighbors have been confirmed from the drive survey data.
Add: Missing neighbors Remove: These neighbors that were not measured but are in the neighbor list.
Careful consideration is needed prior to removing neighbours since the Actix results are drive route dependent.

Drop Call 1 (UE vs. scanner best server) shows that for the scanner and UE SC008 is the best server prior to the drop. However, about 30 seconds before the drop, the scanner selected SC018 as the best server while the UE continued to have only SC009 in its active set resulting in the drop call. Immediately after the drop, the UE camps on SC018.

Solution:
Cell SC018 clearly requires some down tilting to control its interference into the area of Drop 1. To illustrate this, RSCP coverage of SC018 shows clearly that the cells is extending into a large area. E.g. around the location of drop call, SC018 RSCP is > -75dBm.
