Neighboring Cell Analysis Principle

overall score

Legend
Undefined Missing Defined Redundant Missing area Redundant area recommended number of neighboring cells recommended priority

The overall score of a neighboring cell is calculated by Ec/Io and the appearance times of the neighboring cell (Y axis) Neighboring cell is sorted in descending order of the overall score (X axis) Missing neighboring cell: recommended priority <recommended number of neighboring cells Redundant neighboring cell: recommended priority >recommended number of neighboring cells

Nastar Optimization Case in Brunei

Background:
Brunei is covered with dense vegetation and has a large population, which results in great difficulty in radio coverage. The investment is limited. The number of sites is insufficient. With poor coverage, the network also contains a great number of missing neighboring cells. The call drop rate ranges from 2% to 3%, which is quite high. The operators in Brunei have little wireless network operation experience. They are also lack of operation and maintenance engineers.

After the Nastar is used:

The configuration of co-channel frequency neighboring cells is checked to one hundred percent. Therefore, the problem of missing neighboring cell configuration solved. The problem of high call drop rate is solved while the coverage rate and coverage quality are ensured. All the KPIs reach the requirements. The entire optimization requires three engineers working a day. Compared with the traditional optimization method, the efficiency is improved 20 times.
