Analysis

TEMSLogfiles

• Identify areas with low signal strength e.g. SS < -100dBm (outdoor)

• Look at RxLev distribution (for acceptance)

• Compare with design level or new requirements

Page 21: DT Analysys

• Shadowed Antenna

• Antenna Direction

• Antenna Height / down tilt

• Output Power

• Missing Neighbor Relation

• Site Location

Height/down Tilt

Output Power

Visit site

Check antenna installation

Is there a better antenna position at same site?

New antenna location at same site? Is it necessary to expand and build a new site?

Check alarm & BTS Error log

Visit site

Signal Strength Case – Analysis

Missing Neighbor

Is the call dragged?

Is low SS due to missing neighbor relations

Page 23: DT Analysys

• Change parameter BSPWR , BSPWRT.

• Add neighbor relation.

• Physical changes:

• Antenna direction

• Antenna height, tilt or position

• New site as last option.

Interference Case TEMS

Logfiles

Page 25: DT Analysys

From logfile & map:

What channel group suffer from interference? HOP or Non HOP?

• Check Current channel information in TEMS INV, hopping channel and hopping frequency.

Where does the interference come from? Cell name?

• Study map and logfile, look for co-channel or adjacent channel interference.

Does the interference lead to lower SQI?

• Look at SQI measurement during high RxQual.

Use STS & RNO to assist analysis.

Interference Case – Logfile analysis

BCCH 600 CASE 1

CASE 2

Types of Interference• Co - Channel interference• Adjacent Interference

Page 27: DT Analysys

• Poor frequency plan• No dominant cell --> low C/I ---> increased Rxqual• Frequency Hopping is off• External interference e.g. jammer

Example of high Rxqual due to low Signal Strength

Interference Case – Possible Reasons

Page 28: DT Analysys

Interference Case – Possible solutions

• Enable Frequency Hopping or add frequencies to Hopping group.

• Enable BTS Power Control, MS power control and make it less aggressive.

• Change frequency of interferer or interfered cell:

– Possible to find new frequency by using TEMS Scanning.

• Down tilt or change antenna of interferer.

• Redo frequency plan.

• Add new site.

Repeated Intra-cell handover

Handover failure,

Unrealistic handover

Handover Case

Page 30: DT Analysys

Repeated Handover (Ping Pong)- Examples

Page 31: DT Analysys

Repeated Handover (Ping Pong) - Possible Reason 1

Merry-go-round Handover, Offset > Hysterisis

Page 32: DT Analysys

Repeated Handover (Ping Pong) - Possible Reason 2

• Offset only in one direction e.g A-B for Inter BSC relation

BSCBSC

CELL A CELL B

A -> B OFFSET = -5dB

BSC 2BSC 1

No B -> A OFFSET

Page 33: DT Analysys

No dominant Server

Repeated Handover (Ping Pong) – Other Possible Reasons

• No dominant server• Locating penalty settings

e.g. PSSBQ, PTIMBQ• Too small hysterisis

setting

Page 34: DT Analysys

Uplink interference in target cell

Downlink interference at MS

Solutions

Interference Investigation

• MRR

• Statistics

• Scanning

Handover Reversion – Other Reasons

Page 39: DT Analysys

Possible Reasons

Wrong intra-cell handover settings

External Uplink Interference

Possible Solutions

Consider to change parameters:

• SSOFFSETUL, SSOFFSETDL

• QOFFSETUL, QOFFSETDL

A wrong setting of parameters will cause “unnecessary” IHO

Turn off Intra-cell Handover?

Handover Case – Repeated Intra-cell Handover

Page 40: DT Analysys

Handover Case – Unrealistic Handover

Page 41: DT Analysys

Possible Reasons

Wrong locating settings, in Serving or Target cell

Note: Could be on purpose e.g. Dual Band network with HCS

Solution

• Fix locating settings e.g. MSRXSUFF, BSRXSUFF

Unrealistic Handover – Reason & Solution

Measurement Type•Small Area Drive Test•Lock on problem cell’s BCCH•Force handover to the cell

Post-Processing Output•Geographical Report (if necessary)

Page 45: DT Analysys

Call Setup Failure Analysis- Initial Tuning Scenario

• Check the TEMS statistics report (Blocked Call) if there is Call Setup Failure.

• If yes, identify the problem cells and which logfile from geographical report.

• Replay the logfile and jump to the Blocked Call event.

• Check if there is any successful call setup to the problem cell.

Page 46: DT Analysys

Call Setup Failure Analysis- Initial Tuning Scenario cont.

• Review the layer 3 messages to check at which sequence the failure occur (random access, SDCCH, TCH assignment etc.).

• Check STS report on the problem cell. Is there any traffic (SDCCH & TCH) in the cell, SDCCH & TCH seizures, congestion etc.

• Check fault report & CDD configuration.

Page 47: DT Analysys

Call Setup Failure Analysis- Troubleshooting Scenario

• Before performing drive test, check STS report & fault report.

• If can not identify the problem, perform drive test.

• During measurement, lock the BCCH of the problem cell.

• Review the layer 3 messages to check at which sequence the failure occur (random access, SDCCH, TCH assignment etc.).

Page 48: DT Analysys

Call Setup Failure Analysis- Possible reasons with ranking

• Low Signal Strength

• Interference

• High Congestion on SDCCH

• High Congestion on TCH

• Transmission Fault

• Faulty TRU/Hardware

• Central Processor Overload

• Software File Congestion

• Cell is not defined in MSC.

Page 49: DT Analysys

Call Setup Failure Analysis- Possible solutions

• Low signal strength Signal strength analysis.

• Interference Interference analysis.

• High Congestion on SDCCH:Define more SDCCHs. Activate adaptive configuration of logical channel

feature and immediate assignment to TCH.

• High Congestion on TCH:Add capacity/Tune coverage array.Activate assignment to worse cell.

Page 50: DT Analysys

Failed Call Setup (Blocked Call) Example

Multiple Channel Requests.

Successful Random Access after the third try.

Congestion in SDCCH.

Page 51: DT Analysys

Dropped Call Case- Input

• Statistics Report

• Note from drive test.

Page 52: DT Analysys

Dropped Call Case- Analysis

• From plot, identify which & where in logfile the dropped call occurs.

• In the log file, Jump the drop call event.

• Check if there is a disrupt in the recording. If yes could be a false drop due to TEMS mobile disconnection during recording!!!

Page 53: DT Analysys

Dropped Call Case- Analysis (cont)

• Check the Radio environment just before drop:– If High Rxqual for a longer period of time and

RLINKT expire Interference problem.– If Low SS DL, SSDL < MSSENS ( -104dBm) low

signal strength problem.– If TA > 63 too far from the cell.

• If DL radio is good, check the TX power. If there is MS power down regulation when the MS is close to the cell. If full power suspect uplink interference or antenna, TMA problem.

• Verify or isolate the problem using STS (Drop call and reasons).

Page 54: DT Analysys

From TEMS Logfile

• Good Signal strength DL, Good Rxqual DL

• No call set up possible unless very close to site = high SS

• Dropped call when SS < approx. -75dBm

Analysis

• Since DL SS & Rxqual is good

Suspect UL problems e.g. external uplink interference

Conclusion

TMA power turned off

Miscellaneous Case 1

Page 55: DT Analysys

From TEMS Logfile

• TCH has lower Signal strength than BCCH (Own BCCH included in BA-list)

• BTS power control = OFF

Page 56: DT Analysys

From TEMS Logfile

• Fail to perform Call Setup

Analysis

• Check if any success call setup to the same cell No

• Check if handover is possible Yes

• Suspected wrong cell definition in MSC but Cell is properly defined in MCS and LA

Conclusion

• Corrupted block in MSC
