AGENDA
Motivation 2G-3G, What is different Tuning Process Flow Tools used for Tuning Activity Equipments Configuration Pilot Tuning UE Tuning Final Words
MOTIVATION
3G networks are becoming commercially available all over the world To check the functionality of the networks before commercial launch Network designs are based on propagations models and simulations (coverage verification) 3G technology (WCDMA) is different from 2G Tools and methods for 3G Networks
Differences compared to 2G
In General - The Technology is more complicated (Overlapping cells, soft hand over, power control, cell breathing etc) - High performance requirements on products (UE & Network nodes) - In Particular for Tuning & Optimzation - Process & tools are under development - Co-located GSM/3G sites - Shared Antenna System - Inter-working with GSM

PILOT TUNING
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 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.
