The basic measurements of scanner are • CPICH_RSCP (received signal code power)• CPICH_Ec/No (received energy per chip divided by the power density
in the band)• RSSI (received signal strength indicator)What can you achieve with scanner?• Crossed feeder issues (DL) • Coverage verification• Interference problems (overshooting cell, pilot pollution)• Missing neighbours

UE TUNING
• Voice /Video/PS calls– Long calls– short calls
• Identify problem areas– Blocked calls– Dropped calls– Delay/Throughput

Short Calls Analysis
Set-up a call and maintain it for a pre-defined time duration(for 15-60 s)
Call set-up failure and drops during short calls can be mainlyused to analysis Accessibility failure due to: • UE Failure• Unsuitable Parameters Setting• Coverage Problem• Interference• Others
![Page 30: 08. DRIVE TEST Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5887b9eb1a28ab817a8b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Long Calls Analysis
Drops during long call can be used to identify:• Missing Neighbor Relation• Coverage Problem• UE Problems• Network Characteristics• Best Parameter Setting• Others
Set-up a call and maintain it until it is drop (used for the analysis of Retainability performace)
![Page 31: 08. DRIVE TEST Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5887b9eb1a28ab817a8b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Accessability (Call set-up success rate)
Retainability (Dropped calls)
Mobility (Handover success rate)
Integrity (BLER and throughput)

32
Case 1: Drop due to missing neighbor
Problem: Detected Nighbor (DN)• UE sends a Measurement Report that contains an event1a means
adding a new RL (cell) to Active Set• If the reported cell is not in the current neighbor cell list and the
reported Ec/No is better than the best serving cell Ec/No in AS by some dBs (set by a RNC parameter)
• If for any reason the new cell can not be added to AS, call will be released
![Page 33: 08. DRIVE TEST Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5887b9eb1a28ab817a8b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

34
Case 2: Drop due to Poor Coverage (low RSCP)
Problem: Poor DL coverageWhen UE gets to an area with low RSCP ( < -105 dBm)regardless Ec/No values there is high risk for drop.UE will likely ramp up the transmitted power and reach its max power. The DL BLER will probably increase and SIR target cannot maintain anymore, finally the call drops.

36
Case 3:PS: Session Error due to Poor DL CoverageUE enters a very low coverage area (RSCP < – 105 dBm).The packet connection is carried on a 64/64 DCH Channel as consequence of the low coverage conditions. The UE will likely ramp up its power to the maximum, goes to Idle Mode and the Application and RLC throughputs go to zero. At this point the RAS application will start the Session Timeout timer, if the throughput is not resumed the Session Error event is triggered with cause “session timeout”.

FINAL WORDS
• For network tuning, we need to relay on field measurements which require extensive drive tests
• Finding the best possible configuration for antenna heights, tilts, azimuths and parameter setting for all the present cells/sectors in the network and also for any new sites that might be needed to improve coverage
• Power adjustment can also be used for network tuning but can become complicated and result in poor network performance
• Use of Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) Antenna is preferred over mechanical tilt antenna
• Neighbour definition is of prime importance in UMTS network (Soft handover gain and interference reduction). Keep neighbour list upto 20.
• Automated tools are needed that could suggest the best possible neighbour relations, antenna heights and tilts by using both the field measurements and the propagation models & simulations
• Skilled people, right methods and advanced tools are needed to perform 3G tuning and optimisation

WCDMA Coverage – Implications
• High Pilot Signal Strength ¹ Guaranteed Coverage.
• Coverage defined by Ec/I0.
• Ec = RSCP – Received Signal Strength of own Pilot. Constant.
• I0 = Interference from all other users , own cell + other cells.
• Interference increses when traffic increases.
• Cell coverage smaller when traffic increases.
• Cell Breathes.
• Target Ec/I0 = - 16 dB.
• Ec/I0 below –16 dB => No channel estimation, No Coverage.
