Group Call Drop Kpi2

1) The document discusses analyzing call drops by examining call statistics, signal measurements, and drive test results to identify potential causes like coverage issues, interference, handover failures, or traffic loads. 2) Common causes of call drops identified are problems with coverage, interference, uplink/downlink imbalance, handover failures, and insufficient network capacity. 3) Solutions proposed include adjusting antenna parameters, changing frequency planning, resolving handover issues, and adding network resources like additional TRX to increase capacity.

Call drop rate
very high
Whats the problem
It happen in cell level
Customer Analysis method
or BSC level, in some
complaint place or all Traffic statistics
It happen in some analysis (radio/BSS
hour or whole day part)
It happen for some Signal tracing and
kind mobile phone, or analysis
Final
some kind operator, or Drive Test and Call causes
all Quality Test

Call Drop - Definition
Call Drop
If the network performance deteriorates to a level
that cannot hold normal conversation, the
conversation will be disconnected. This is defined
as call drop
Classify
Logical channel
TCH call drop
SDCCH call drop
other way
Edge call drop: low receiving signaling
strength, large TA.
Short distance call drop: low receiving signal Im not finish
strength and small TA.
BQ call drop: high receiving signal strength
and poor quality.
Sudden call drop: before call drop, the call is
normal then call drop happened suddenly.

Select the call drop type


Short distance call drop

Discuss with customer

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 10


Causes and Solutions

Causes
Call drop around the site
MSC parameter configurations
Check the MSC timer counter value

Check other parameter configurations in MSC

Solutions
Set the MSC timer counter larger than the TA set in BTS
Configure the correct parameters if they are default

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 11


Causes and Solutions

Causes
Call drop at a place
Check the coverage RX level
Acceptable Rx level or not
Check with customer if there is terrain or higher building

Solutions
Adjust the antenna height or Azimuth or output power of BTS
If not possible recommend new site to cover the area

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 12


Causes and Solutions

Check the interference


In traffic analysis check the interference and C/I of each cell
Check the frequency planning
Check the neighbour planning
Check the BCCH and BSIC
Ask customer any other interference

Solutions
If wrong, do the planning to reduce the interference
Change the frequency planning for that site

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 13


Causes and Solutions

Check the Up link and Down link balance


Easy to find out the swapping of the feeder
If not balance, check out the feeder setting

Solutions
If feeder wrongly configured or swapped, then ask to sub
contractor to solve it.
If not, adjust the output power of BTS, Power amplifier and
antenna directions

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 14


Causes and Solutions

Check the handover failures


Find out the reasons

Solutions
Resolve the HO failure using some techniques
PBGT HO
Layer HO
Edge HO

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 15


Causes and Solutions

Check the Traffic


Check the traffic and find out enough TRX

Solutions
Increase the no. of TRX
Put the site to cover the Area
Consider the period

Plan to Drive Test (DT)

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 17


The route to perform driving test
Ensure the coverage of all cells on the route
Ensure the 2 direction of Handover (incoming HO and
outgoing HO)
Main roads, VIP and hot spot (super market, hotspital)
need to on the route
The point end the route:
Has signal strength smaller than -95dBm and the time to keep
the signal strength greater than 4 minutes.

Handover to another serving sites and keep this condition in 4


5 minutes.

On site checking
Status of site (working or not working, alarm)

Azimuth of each cell

Down tilt of each cell

Feeder, Antenna, VSWR, combiner, connection (DTRU-

During driving test, mark the special places like high


building, mountain
