i. INTRODUCTION:-
The heigh marketing demand for better efficacy in the field of Optimization with less of
investement on the cellular Network has lead to conduct several Test Trials, which are summerised into
one single document. The test was done on technologies like GSM, GPRS and EDGE for both Voice
and Data. The document also covers some of the critical Alarms and the way forward to handle these
Alarms. Some of the methods that were adopted to achieve good Key performance Indicater were also
covered for performance enhancement of Cellular Network.

1. Voice Audit
Network Audit for GSM Network carried out with analysis of different Nokia ND Reports and OSS
Extracted statistics .The Voice Audit gives an understanding of the GSM Network and the discrepancies
in the Network, which can be corrected on time to time basis for better Efficacy of Network Operation.
1.1 Radio Network Capacity and Traffic.
This gives details of the Network taken for Voice Audit as listed below as for Idea Cellular
Delhi (India).
Observations Idea_Cellular-Delhi:
Total Cells in the Network 3563
Total Sites:Metro= 128

Total Sites: Ultra= 1234
Total Sites in the Network 1362
Total TRX in the Network 10569
BTS Software Version: S 11.5 CD 6.0

BSC Software Version: S 11.5 CD 6.0
OSS Software Version: OSS 4 CD 3.0
Switch Software Version: M12 CD 3.0
Traffic Split is as follows :(For 13th June 2007 from Dashdoard).



1.2 Cell wise Capacity Utilization
Cell wise capacity utilization Idea Cellular Delhi:
Number of cells which are utilized more than 90% in Idea cellular Delhi Network tend towards a percentage of 44.
And there are also 6% of cells that are Under Utilized.
Utilization of cells can be planned appropriately for Idea Cellular Delhi Network.
Total Operational Cells in the Network 2993 for Idea Cellular DELHI Circle

1.3 Spectrum Loading.
1.4 BSC and A-Interface Capacity and Utilization
Observations:
Total number of BSCs :22

BSC versions used :5 BSC ( BSC 2i ) & 17 BSC ( BSC 3i)
BSS software load :S11.5 CD 6.0

BCSU CAPACITY UTILIZATION Idea Cellular Network.
NOTE: BSC which have High Utilization can affect the

performance of the BSC.Thus cells can be repranted
appropriately.
1.5 SDCCH Utilization and Failure Observation.
SDCCH availability ........................../ava_63a 95.26 %

Dynamic SDCCH allocation (TCH reconfigured to SDCCH )Attempts/c1154 .

T3101 expired (S7) .........................../c57020 4658584 7.56%

SDCCH drop ratio without T3101 expiry....../sdr_4 1.78 1.78%
NOTE: There seems a lot of SDCCH Utilized for Location Updates, for which The LAC Re-
Dimension will be carried out appropriately.
NOTE: The major share of the drop at the SDCCH is seen due to T3101 Expiry and also at
the Abis.
1.6 LAC Subscribers and Paging analysis.
There are 26 LAC Created under 3 MSC. Cells planned under different LAC are as shown
below.

Comment:
The cells distributed under Different LAC are seen uneven.As some of the LAC has large
number of cells defined under them where as some other have few cells defined
The distribution can be done according to study made with respect to Paging Load and Location
update.Possibility of site rehoming, etc.LAC Distributed for Idea Cellular DELHI is as shown
below.

Cells of the same Site are given different LAC.

LAC distribution is seen uneven in some of the geographical area for Idea Cellular Delhi,which
can cause High signaling load due to high usage of SDCCH.

LAD redimensioning requirement for the following cells for Idea Cellular Delhi:
The cell listed in the attachment requires LAC Changes appropriately, to reduce signalling Load in the
Network.

FOR HANDOVER Idea Cear DELHI:

1.7 Handover Cause Distribution
1.7
USES FOR HANDOVER Idea Cellular DELHI:
CAUSES FOR HANDOVER Idea Cellular DELHI:
Recommendation:
From the cause for Handover Network wide.The power budget Handover can be further
improved from a value of 29.31%.
Interfering frequency requires correction appropriately to reduce the Handover due to
interference as shown there is 14.66 % Ho, due to DL Interference.
NOTE: The most critical is the DL Interference of 14.66 demanding correction immediately.

1.8 Frequency Utilization:

Frequency Distribution Idea Cellular Delhi.
NOTE;The BCCH Plan for Idea Cellular Delhi shows the difference between the most commonly used BCCH
Frequency and the Least BCCH Frequency used in the Network.
1.9 Network Database Discrepancies :
With appropriate Nokia ND reports the following Discrepancies were found when Network Audit for
Voice was conducted for Idea Cellular Delhi Netwrork.
SDCCH Redimensioning Requirement.
NOTE- SDCCH RE-Dimensioning Requiremnt for Cells having High SDCCH Blocking (Considering that the cells do not
have time slots Blocked carrying SDCCH denoted by Alarm 7745) .Taking Optimization of SDCCH further, we can have
Dynamic SDCCH also switch on for better efficacy of SDCCH.

Basic Parameter Discrepancy:-
Some of the Discrepancies in the parameters were audited for better operation of
Cells in the Network.The data taken for audit was from OSS Statistics, ND Reports and BSS Dump.
The above discrepancy includes Prioritising of Cells for their Voice calls, Cells which
are barred from Operations, Call Re establishment requirements, Hysterisis papameter, Temporary
Offsets, Penality time requirements, Power controm Parameter enabled, and Handover papameters.
The above parameter describes the Band Requirement, Transmit power requirement, Access
grand requirement , Periodic MS location update, Discontinious Transmission, and power budjet
parameters.
The above table shows the RTSL which are not in use requiring Checks for those TRX.

AMR Parameter Discrepancy:-
The Discrepancies in the AMR Parameters are listed in the table for Idea Cellular Network.
Neighbor Discrepancies:-
The Neighbor Discrepancies for Idea Cellular Network, showing cells which are not
synchronised.
Cells which required Neighbours to be added and as well as to be deleted are done appropriately
with the analysis of Neighbor Stats taking help of the percentage of Handover attempts for these
perticular cells .

Path Imbalance:-
Path imbalance in the cells of the network can be analysed with the help of Nokia ND report 183.This
report can be used to find the Transmitted power inbalance, the sensitivity of both MS and Basae station,
High VSWR in these cells.
Note:-For Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) the alarm threshold should be set to appropriate value
in advance to a value of about 1.2. So as to indicate if the value shoots more than the set value of 1.2.
The positive value indicates the Imbalance is in the Transmitted Path, and the Negative value
indicates the Imbalance in the Reception path with respect to the Base Transcive Station.
NOTE-Cells having Path Imbalance requires checks like Cable, Transmit Power , Connectors , VSWR
etc checked for these cells appropriately
Ghost SDCCH Analysis:-
The Phantom or Ghost SDCCH is due to reasons like Interference Both External and internal
Interference in the Network. Parameter Changes requirement for Ghost SDCCH Establishment- Idea
Cellular Delhi. By fine tuning changing the training Sequence the Ghost SDCCH can be reduced to an
extend in the cell site.

The Training sequence changes required for Non BCCH TRX Only as Listed in the table above
Note: There should not be any changes made in the Training Sequence for BCCH Trx as, it would be
difficult for a call to macheure, if the Training sequence differes from the BCC on the BCCH TRX of a
Sector, then there would be difficulty in the calls getting mechured.

2. Data Audit
Network Audit for Data (GPRS / EDGE) Network carried out with analysis of different Nokia ND
Reports and OSS Extracted statistics .The Data Audit gives an understanding of the Cellular Network
and the discrepancies in the Network related to Data, which can be corrected on time to time basis for
better Efficacy of Network Operation for smooth and agreed Data Throughput and efficacy.

to PCU congestion in future and is hence recommended to be reduced
The cells which do not require additional channel seizures (ach_3 = 0) can be re-
Dimensioned to 2 GTRXs after analysing the CDED / CDEF %.
A sample list (cells with more than 3 GTRXs) is attached herewith

2.4 NSEI Plan Review.

Network Service Control Information Elements (IEs)
NSEI plan to be re-worked

NSEI should be planned on a geographical basis
The Cell sites which are closely located geographically, are expected to have the same NSEI to
be used, else may have a possibility of Inter PCU reselection which can constitute to increased
signaling and in turn reduction in the overall throughput

NSEI Current Plan Review:
Few NSEIs have exceeded the capacity (64 cells) as highlighted in the circled regions
Many NSEIs have exceeded the recommended threshold (48 cells) as highlighted in the circled regions,
while some have very few cells associated to them.
PCU re-dimensioning to be done on priority to improve performance and also ensure better
utilisation of PCU resources.
2.5 RAC Plan Review.

Recommended to have adequate Abis pool devices for EGPRS
High rejections also observed due to lack of PCU resources
PCU re-dimensioning to be done on priority

TBF without EDAP DL
TBF with inadequate EDAP DL


Limited by PCU
2.11 Gb Utilization
Most of the Gb links are with CIR of either 64k or 128k

Certain links have crossed their threshold levels or are nearing them as
highlighted in the circular regions
Recommended to increase the capacity on these links

2.12 Recommendations:
It is recommended to configure GPRS on BCCH TRX, provided there is no limitation

on the PCU
Since the power on the BCCH TRX is maintained to be constant, the signaling
happens in a good RF environment, as compared to Non-BCCH TRX
The BCCH carrier, is also maintained to be cleaner than the hopping TCH layer,
thereby reducing the interference on the BCCH layer
It is recommended to have at least 2 GTRXs in all cells prioritised as BCCH
Since the TSLs available on the BCCH TRX is limited, it is recommended to have
at least 2 GTRXs, to assist in territory upgrades
Geographical allocation of RAC and NSEI
This will aid in better utilisation of the PCU resources, thereby enhancing the
performance of the network
PCU re-dimensioning to be done on priority
This will aid in better utilisation of the PCU resources, thereby enhancing the
performance of the network

Transcoder Optimization was carried out on several BSCs of Idea

Cellular Delhi which was Dropping calls on the basic of Transcoder
Failure:-
Parameter Fine tuning was carried out on the BSC Level with the help of Parameter ITCF
(Number of Ignored Transcoder Fail) .
This Parameter is used to check how many Transcoder Failure the system will receive before it Releases a
particular calls.
Explanation:
After a speech path connection has been established between the BTS and the TC, they try to align
with each other to enable speech coding both in uplink and downlink directions. If the alignment procedure
fails, speech decoding also fails and speech is no longer audible. In this case, the BTS sends
CONNECTION_FAILURE_INDICATION message to the BSC. The BSC requests for a clearing and then
releases the resources connected to the call. The cause field in this failure indication message is "REMOTE
TRANSCODER FAIL
When more aggressive HR is introduced, due to the interference in the air interface and signaling
messages can be lost. Re-sending the messages one or more times can lengthen the call establishment
dramatically and this might lead to trigger of REMOTE TRANSCODE FAIL counters.
Description:-
ITCF:-Number of ignored transcoder Failures.
This parameter defines ,how many successive remote transcoder failure the BSC may receive before
releasing the particular Call.
Range: 0 to 5
Default: 0. Nokia Tested (2)

UMBRELLA HANDOVER CONCEPT:
4th July 2007 .
UMBRELLA HANDOVER CONCEPT:
Umbrella handovers are used in scenarios, in which the handover is to

Happen from external server to in building system.
In the umbrella handover concept, the in building system will have to be

set as lower layer (Micro) as seen by external server (Macro).
The umbrella handover concept was applied for IBS site HYATREG 2of

Idea Cellular Delhi Network, where there was performance enhancement seen in Handover and TCH
Drop Call.
Parameter used for fine tuning:
The above param eters are explained in the previous session, on their operations.

3.5 IBS Design Verification and Analysis

The basis IBS Design verification was carried out for one of the IBS Cell at Idea
cellular Delhi Network for performance enhancement.
SUMMARY
In- Building survey was conducted for the Park Royal Hotel, Delhi. Summery of this
survey is as follows:
Idea is having own IBS implemented in this Bldg.
Due to uneven EIRP & improper IBS design there are some poor coverage areas inside
the Bldg. & on the window of rooms.
To improve the coverage & performance of this IBS site we had re-designed the Park
Royal IBS. This design gives sufficient & even EIRP to all planned antennas inside the
bldg.
As at present we are not having access to put antennas inside the Hotel rooms so we
may not have sufficient indoor coverage at the window of rooms to avoid Idea customer
to camp or latch on outdoor signal. On these windows at present we are facing Ping-
Pong condition.
After implementation of new design if we face same problem on the window of Hotel,
then we propose the dedicated outdoor site to give the proper indoor coverage inside the
rooms.
For the implementation of proposed new IBS design at Hotel Park Royal Hotel, we
require IDEA Delhi team help to get access inside the building & floor plan of all floors of
this Hotel. Also we require some extra IBS material.
As per new design antennas are having EIRP between 14 to 19 dBm. In old design EIRP
was 0 dBm to 10 dBm.

BTS CONFIGURATION DETAIL FORM.


The Trunking diagram was modified appropriately with a new Design for better efficacy, by
having the Metro cell replaced by ultra cell adding in more capacity.And also by splitting the sector to
have a constatnt and high EIRP appropriately.

2) ZEPH; BTS=Source cell id TRHO=ON; OUCT=98.
3) ZEPH; BTS=Target cell id TRHI=ON.
Parameter Description:
TRHO: AMH TRHO TARGET LEVEL:-

This Parameter defines the minimum signal level when a traffic reason handover is allowed to
an adjacent cell.
This parameter is set in the Neighbor defined in the Source Cell.
Range:
-109 to -47(dBm).
N (Not used)
MML Default:
N (Not in use)
Tested value -85dBm.
AMH Advance Multilayer Handling:-

AMH Consists of three different features, related to network Load.
a) BSC Initiated TRHO.
b) IUO Load Control (Intelligent Underlay Overlay)
c) Multilayer Load Control (Dual band network operation)
AMH provided both Capacity and Coverage by distributing traffic evenly over the network.
Used especially in 1) Multi band (GSM 900/ GSM 800)
2) Micro cellular or Multilayer (IUO) Network.
AMH is used to relief load of a congested cell. AMH Dynamically distributes traffic to appropriate cell /
Layer / Frequency band according to load in the Network.
To avoid additional handover, back to heavy loaded cell, the AMH has a particular penalty system. Thus
mobiles cannot be directed back to original heavy loaded cell before the penalty timer expires.
TRHO: AMH TRHO TARGET LEVEL:-

This Parameter defines the minimum signal level when a traffic reason handover is allowed to
an adjacent cell.
This parameter is set in the Neighbor defined in the Source Cell.

Range: -109 to -47(dBm).

AUT: AMH Upper Load Threshold:-

This Parameter defines the upper threshold for load of the Base station .This parameter
triggers, BSC Controlled traffic reason handover. In other words, the Traffic reason handover will get
triggered in the Congested (Source) cell, when the load of this source cell goes above set value in the
AUT (say source cell loaded more than 80%, triggrs TRHO).
Range: 0 to 100 or
N (Not used)
MML Default: N (Not in use)
Tested value 80.
AML: AMH Max Load Of Target Cell:-
This Parameter defines maximum traffic load in the adjacent cell that is allowed to be the target
cell for Traffic reason handover. In other words, when the Traffic reason handover get triggered in the
Congested (Source) cell with AUT 80, the target cell where the traffic should be distributed should not be
loaded more than 60.
Range: 0 to 100 or
N (Not used)
MML Default:
N (Not in use)
Tested value 60.
TGT: TRHO Guard Time:-
This Parameter defines the guard time after a BSC-controlled or an MSC-controlled TRHO,
during which a handover back to the original cell is not allowed. In other words the MS will not be
directed back to the original heavy loadad cell until the time set by TGT is attained.If TGT set to 20 sec,
then the handover from target back to source will happen after 20 sec only.
Range:
0 to 120 Sec.
MML Default:
30
Tested value 20.
SL: Rx level min cell:-
This Parameter defines the minimum signal level of an adjacent cell when a handover is allowed to the
Neighboring cell

EOSFLEX Release 5.52:-Extended Operations Flexible Reporting.


This Nokia Propriety tools EOSFLEX Release 5.52, helps in extracting statistical Data
from a 2G, 2.5G and WCDMA Networks, by querying the Data base server at the Nokia OSS.
Different .xml scripts are written for extraction of the required Data from the OSS.
The data extraction can be scheduled, with the help of a scheduler for atomizing the
stats extraction task, wherein reducing the time requirement for Data extraction.
Once a query is made for a particular day for a particular data from the OSS, and the
task is carried out for the second time for stats of the same day, the tool reduces the time it will
take after the first attempt to query the Data base server, which is time consuming.
Note: The output can be extracted as .csv (Excel output).
EOS Scheduler operates with two separate entities.

1) Scheduler Engine.
2) The scheduled content definition.
Note: The engine handles all scheduled jobes.It process scheduled jobs defined in the XML
file.
The engine contains of Perl script, supporting modules for Excel, Zip, and mailing
interface
The engine starts via WIN2K Task scheduler.
The reports Excel file offers.
1) Frozen panes (Column header and date / object identifiers are always available)
2) Web Link
3) support for markup coloring
4) support for number formatting
5) Vertical column header (Space saving)
Eos scheduler supports file and directory cleanup.
SCRIPT: There are different tables from which the raw counters are to be extracted.
Some of the commonly used tables are listed:-
<temp_table create="yes" name="traffic">

<temp_table create="yes" name="ho">
<temp_table create="yes" name="res_avail">
<temp_table create="yes" name="service">

ALARM NUMBER 7745:- CHANNEL FAILURE RATE ABOVE DEFINED

THRESHOLD:
This alarm helps in finding out the timeslots which are blocked and causing High SDCCH or TCH
Blocking.And in some scenarios calls get established on these timeslots and then drops with an cause of Time out.
Alarm 7745 is explained as described below with an example.
Alarm number 7745 gives information on the Timeslot degraded.
This displays degradation of both SDCCH Timeslot and TCH Time slots that have gone faulty.At the
foremost instent a soft reset (Locking that particular Time slot and then unlockimg )can help in overcommng the
problem.If it is found to have all the Timeslots degraded ,then that particular TRX can be given a reset on a temporary
basis.
If the Problem still exists then change the TRX.
Causes: 1) If Alarm noticed on BCCH Carrier, then swap BCCH /TCH Carrier appropriately.
2a) 7745 on One TRx Only:

If there is alarm noticed on one single TRx, then check for SMA Cable(Cable that connects the Radio) at
TX Connector to WCxA
(Wide band combiner) of the TRx is properly tightned.
2b) 7745 on Two TRx of a cell.
If alarm noticed on two TRxs, then check if there exist, cross feeder in these two TRxs

2c) Noticed on all TRx.

Check for Cross feeder, Bad connectors, Connection to DVxA (Duplexer).
Solution:
a) Temporary => Inservicing appropriate Time slots.
b) Permanent => Replace Hardware (Radio).
STATISTICS ANALYSIS:7745.
The statistics showing no calls been handled by a particular Timeslot found to be having this alarm 7745.

Remarks
In the above example the efficacy of the Radio per sector can be checked in the field for better
performance.Say for Example, in sector 4 as shown above, having 3 TRX, and when tested of their
RXLev should not have a difference in the RXLev of not more than 5dbm between the TRX of the same
sector.
And as this test is to be conducted in a close proximity to the cell site, should not have an RXLev
not less than -55dbm proximately in each of the TRX.
Along with RXQual and Level Plot from the Drive, Problems like Hardware Faulty, Sector Swap,
Cable Swap, Etc can be further analysed with Field Drive testing.

Executive Summary - Voice

Idea shows an average overall voice service performance in Delhi.
Call Setup Time of Idea is exceptionally good, also in international comparison they show
one of the best statistics here.

Overall Idea has good Call Setup success rates, most of the failed calls are due to
coverage issues.
Idea slightly under performs with regards to the call completion rate and should be
worked upon.
Ideas speech quality is found good and speech samples for both the Uplink as well as
Downlink are well balanced .
With respect to call Accessibility and Retainability Dolphin is clearly underperforming.
In International comparison Airtel appears to have a fairly high cell density and is also the
highest compared to local competitors.
Executive Summary Data

The overall data performance for Idea in Delhi can be rated as poor.
All data services except SMS have poor performance levels in Delhi. For some of
the data services Idea is amongst the poor 20% networks globally.
Hutch shows up with a better data performance in Delhi as compared to Idea.
Reliance being a CDMA service provider is also good when it comes to data
statistics in Delhi.
Having used EDGE for almost all the sessions the average throughput of Idea is
found to be very low. This is the major reason for having low success rates as
well.
The MMS performance of Idea needs improvement. Long delivery times and only
a 60% success rate puts Ideas performance amongst one of the most poor
performers measured globally.
