Introduction
Firstly, we must differentiate between 4 words:
Introduction
1) Counter:
Introduction
2) KPI:
It is the combination of some counters in a
Introduction
3) Parameter:
It is the item in the BSC to be adjusted to have a
Introduction
4) Algorithm:
It is a group of commands controlling a certain
process.
Such as: HO algorithm, Power control algorithm & Direct retry algorithm.
Main KPIs
To judge a network we have 5 main KPIs:
SDCCH congestion
TCH congestion
CSSR
HOSR
CDR
SDCCH Congestion
SDCCH congestion
1) SDCCH congestion:
Total No. of SDCCH assignment failures(Due to congestion) Total No. of SDCCH requests
SDCCH congestion
SDCCH congestion may be due to:
A) Capacity
B) Availability
SDCCH congestion
Incase of Capacity problem & TCH congestion=0 the solution will be:
Static SD: Traffic in BH > Available capacity Expansion (Static or Dynamic SDCCH)
Load sharing
Sharing the load with neighboring cells using both CRO & PBGT parameters
SDCCH congestion
Incase of Capacity problem & TCH congestion0 the solution will be:
Enabling Dynamic SDCCH if TCH & SD congestion are not in the same time Expansion
Physical expansion is needed if TCH & SD congestion are in the same time
Load sharing
Sharing the load with neighboring cells using both CRO & PBGT parameters
SDCCH congestion
Incase of availability :
TCH Congestion
TCH congestion
TCH congestion
SDCCH congestion may be due to:
A) Capacity
B) Availability
TCH congestion
Incase of Capacity problem the solution will be:
Enabling HR Expansion (Static or Dynamic SDCCH) Remove useless SDs & Packet TSs Add new TRX
Idle mode: CRO & Direct Retry(DR) Load sharing Dedicated mode: Incoming & outgoing PBGT HO & load HO
TCH congestion
Incase of availability :
Available Configured
Available = Configured
CSSR
CSSR
1-
Total No. of TCH assignment failures Total No. of TCH assignment requests Total No. of SDCCH failures
CSSR
For TCH assignment failure, it includes: 1) Radio problems 2) BSS problems 3) Congestion problems
CSSR
For SD drop rate, it is affected by:
1) Poor coverage
2) UL-DL imbalance
3) High Interference (Internal or External)
4) Cross connection
For SD congestion, it was discussed in the previous slides
HOSR
HOSR
Total No. of successful HOs (Incoming + Outgoing + Intracell) Total No. of HO requests (Incoming + Outgoing + Intracell)
HOSR
HO purposes:
HOSR
We may classify HOs according to:
Radio Normal (Better cell/PBGT) Emergency (BQ/Edge/TA/ Interference/Sudden level drop) Performance (Load/Layer/ Level/ Fast moving) Concentric (UtoO/OtoU)
HOSR
For PBGT HO:
PBGT HO threshold
BQ HO threshold
Interference HO has lower priority than BQ HO because there is no condition on the target cell level
HOSR
For Layer HO: (4) Umbrella (3) Macro (2) Micro (1) Pico
Hystersis
This level is the min. level required for the higher priority cell to trigger layer HO There is no PBGT HO between 2 cells in different layers
HOSR
For Edge HO:
If Load HO threshold on source AND Load HO threshold on target cells are satisfied
For TA HO:
TA (serving)
TA HO threshold
HOSR
For MS fast moving HO:
It is done by increasing the ranking of higher layer & prevent HO to lower layer
For Sudden power drop HO:
It is done in the BSC by comparing values of successive measurement reports. It is disabled in Huawei network
For Level HO:
HOSR
HO Algorithm: MR
MR preprocessing
Penalty application
HO decision

HOSR
To Analyze HOSR it is divided to:
HOSR
Intracell HO failures may be
OtoU
Congestion on underlaid Underlaid Interference Alarms Faulty EGSM TRXs or DDPUs Path Imbalance
UtoO
Congestion on overlaid Faulty DCS TRXs or DDPUs Path Imbalance Alarms Wrong DCS electric tilt
HOSR
Incoming HO failures may be due to
Congestion Failed TCH seizures due to busy TCHs Failed Incoming HO failures
HOSR
Outgoing HO failures may be due to
To one cell
Problem in the neighbour cell
To all cells
Revise counters requests
HOSR
To analysze outgoing HO requests: 1) Quality requests >>> Level requests UL Quality requests >>> DL Quality requests DL Quality requests >>> UL Quality requests 2) Strenth requests >>> Remaining counters UL Strenth requests >>> Remaining counters DL Strenth requests >>> Remaining counters Path Imbalance (UL limited) Path Imbalance (DL limited) or HW problem
External Interference
Internal Interference
HOSR
3) UL, DL quality & strenth requests >>> PBGT requests Poor coverage area
CDR
CDR
CDR
Call drops may be due to
Error indication Incase of bad radio conditions if the BTS does not receive the correct frame & T200 timer expired N200+1 times the call drops
Connection Failure Incase MS does not decode SACCH or the BTS does not decode MR until RLT expires(=32 in DL & 24 in UL) the call drops
CDR
Call drop reasons: 1) Poor coverage 2) Interference 3) Missing neighbors
4) Outgoing HO failures
5) Congestion on underlaid 6) Overshooting 7) Path imbalance 8) Configuration problems 9) Alarms
