TCH Blocking
a. If the utilization of a cell is low and its still having blocking check for hardware issue.
b. For high utilized cell, tune FRL (Lower limit for half rate trigger) & FRU (upper limit to full rate
trigger).
c. Enable Direct Retry in the cell. (Directed Retry is a procedure used when there is
congestion in the network in the call set-up phase and the mobile station (MS) is
assigned to a traffic channel in a cell other than the serving cell.)
d. Enable Traffic based handovers.
e. If still there is blocking add TRXs.
2. SD blocking
a. Increase SDCCH timeslots by monitoring trend of SDCCH blocks vs SDCCH attempts—SD
dimensioning
b. Increase the Value of HYS at LAC boundary cells
c. Implement Dynamic SDCCH feature
d. Implement increased SDCCH capacity feature
e. Perform physical optimization at LAC boundary cells
3. TCH drop
a. Find out at which level you are getting more drops. Radio, Transcoder, Abis, RF old etc.
b. Check your BCCH and TCH plan if you find it need to be tune then run AFP (Automatic Freq plan)
and implement new Freq plan.
c. Check neighbor count for each cell. Add or remove adjacencies where required.
d. Check some important BTS parameters like RLT(Value range: 4~64, the step size is 4
recommended-24), ARLT and AHRLT(recommended-36) etc.
e. Also check AMR full and half rate codecs and its thresolds used in each cell.
f. Check for any inconsistencies in parameters like diversity Used (RDIV),DTX used (DTX),MS min
and max transmit power(PMIN & PMAX),BTS min and max transmit power(PMIN &
PMAX),rxLevAccessMin (RXP), Antenna Hopping(AHOP), etc.
g. Improve RX DL Quality.
4. HOSR
a. Check for the neighbours which are causing degradation in HFR
b. Delete the neighbour if its unwanted
c. Check for hardware issue in the target cell
d. Change the value of SL to -90 and QMRG to 3(check for degradation in DL quality as well)
5. SD drop
a. Lock the timeslot which is having high SD drop(in case of channel failure alarm starting with 02)
b. Change T200S(BCF level) to 1000
c. Change RXP to -102
6. Paging Success Rate
a. In case of high paging load, perform LAC splitting
b. Change AT (Repaging attempts)=2, INT(Repaging interval)=500 ms
7. Hopping
There are 2 types of frequency hopping, Base Band Hopping (BBH) and Synthesized Frequency Hopping (SFH)
i. In SFH each frame unit is connected to one carrier unit. Hopping is performed by
changing the carrier unit by changing a synthesizer. As the communication is not
hopping between the carrier units but the carrier unit frequency itself is hopping. So
many frequencies can be used as hopping frequencies. In SFH, TRX returns in every time
slot to a different frequency. Thus the TCH remains on the same TRX but the frequencies
of that TCH hops.
