Cell Optimization

The document discusses network and RF optimization including: 1) The optimization process involves single site verification and RF optimization to control pilot pollution and optimize coverage, handover rates, and signal distribution. 2) RF optimization preparations include network plans, drive test results, coverage/signal diagrams, and identifying areas for optimization. 3) Troubleshooting focuses on coverage issues like weak coverage, cross coverage imbalance, and lack of a dominant cell, as well as signal quality and handover success rates. 4) RF optimization objectives and targets include reference signal power, signal to interference ratio, and handover success rate baselines.

Network Optimization Process
• Single site verification
Single site verification, this is the first phase of network optimization . It aims to
ensure that each site is properly installed and parameters are correctly configured .
• RF Optimazation
• It aims to control pilot pollution while optimizing signal coverage ,increase
handover success rates , and ensure normal distribution of radio signals before
parameter optimization .RF Optimization involves optimization and adjustment
of antenna system hardware an neighbor list
RF Optimization Flowchart
Preparations for RF Optimization
• Network plan, network structure diagram , site distribution , site information , and
engineering parameters
• Drive test results (such as service drop points and handover failure points )in the current
area .
• Reference Signal received power (RSRP) coverage diagram
• Signal to Interference plus noise ratio (SINR) signal ratio
• Measured handover success rates
• Areas to be optimized by comparing the distribution of RSRPs,SINRs, and handover
success rates with the optimazation baseline.

Reference Signal Received Power(RSRP)
• Is determined for a considered cell as the linear average over the power
contributions in watts of the resource elements that carry cell specific
reference signals within the considered measurement frequency
bandwidth.
• Generally RSRP near a cell is -85dBm, middle of a cell is -95dBm, and at
the edge of a cell is -105dBm. Minimum RSRP for Ues is -120dBm.
SINR
Handover Success Rate
Troubleshooting -Coverage
• Weak coverage and coverage holes-continuous coverage must be ensured
• Cross coverage-actual coverage must be consistent with the planned one
to prevent service drops caused by isolated islands during handovers
• Imbalance between uplink and downlink-uplink and downlink losses must
be balanced to resolve uplink and downlink coverage problems.
• Lack of a dominant cell –each cell on a network must have a dominant
coverage area to prevent frequent reselections or handovers caused by
signal changes.
Factors affecting Coverage
Weak Coverage and Coverage holes

scanner or performing driving tests on UEs
