BLOCK A
Task To identify area where RSCP is less than 95 dBm and to optimize the coverage of that affected area Reason Area where RSCP is less than 95 dBm and poor Ec/No value would be consider coverage problematic area or has poor coverage This would lead to call set up failure, HO failure, drop call and degradation to the PS throughput Items required for analysis RSCP and Ec/No plots for best server on map Plot of RSCP vs Ec/No to have quick understanding of the problem Measurement log files Solution Up-tilting, panning and height of antenna changes Increase CPICH power Antenna type changing to a higher gain Check missing neighbors Use NetAct to check coverage prediction by changing the inputs of the site Use the MapInfo/UMTS tool for antenna tilting to estimate coverage improvement (optional)

BLOCK B
Tasks To identify area which RSCP > -95 dBm but Ec/No < -10 dB and to optimize the affected area Reasons In this area problems are more on the dominance and pilot pollution This would lead to call set up failure, HO failure, drop call and degradation to the PS throughput Items required for analysis Plots of Ec/No and RSCP for best server on map Plots of Ec/No of each scrambling in the affected area Plots RSCP vs Ec/No Measurement log files Solution Down-tilting, panning and antenna height changes Increase CPICH of serving cell, decrease CPICH of interfering cells Check for missing neighbors Check co-scrambling code Change antenna type to lower gain

BLOCK C
Task To identify the 4th best server is < 6dB to the reference of best server and optimize the area Reasons To meet the KPI Too many best servers would cause unnecessary HO Wasting resources (hardware channels, Iub capacity etc) Item required for analysis Measurement log file Solution Down-tilting, panning and antenna height changed Increase CPICH of serving cell, decrease CPICH of interfering cells Use MapInfo/UMTS to generate the percentage Antenna type change to lower gain

NODE B LOADING: UL/DL LOADING (1)

Depends on the dimensioning, typically, UL Load = 50% & DL Load = 65%. Counters & KPIs that needs to be monitored.

Possible Solution: The code tree is per cell per carrier. If available, go for a 2nd Carrier Add more sites (Macrosite, Microcell Site or In-building Site).

IuB INTERFACE(1)
AAL2 connections are allocated and released by ATM Resource Management which will check AAL2 reservation using CAC. M550 measurement reports RNC CAC resource usage for Iub AAL2 user plane traffic downlink

In RAS06, the new ATM Interface measurement (M532) gives indication of the ATM interface traffic load by reporting the traffic volumes and the bandwidth available for a specific interface. The measurement can also be used to detect interfaces that are congested and cause traffic loss. Congestion can be detected by following the number of ATM cells going in and coming out from the interface.
