Cluster4 RAB Establishment success rate & CDR for PS

Parameter modified on 18th Feb 1516 hrs

Improvement in 1600 hrs

Observation( Cluster cells take in consideration for analysis): PS_RAB_Establishment success rate and CDR_PS slightly dipped due to parameter modification in1516hrs. During that hours both KPI got dipped. Its can be happened due to change in parameter modification and existing user behavior. In very next hour(1600 hrs) both KPI showing improving trend as shown in graph especially PS_CDR. Parameter reverted back at 1729hrs.

CS/PS IRAT Analysis

Analysis Period- 2Feb to 9Feb (24 Hrs) Observation- Max IRAT failure happens due to physical channel failure and No reply cases. Physical Channel Failure is the major cause of IRAT failure and its happened due to might be excessive neighbors or may be issue in 2G cell. In analysis we observed no congestion on 2G cells. No reply cases pegging might be due to poor coverage issue(Major downtime in 2G also). Attempt and failure count in RNC2,4

2. Excessive 3G-2G neighbors need to be deleted based on their attempt/Success. 3. CIO also can be retuned for further improvement based on cell behavior.

Dual Carrier parameter settings

As per the trending of the dual carrier cells following settings are suggested in network.
Logical Name DlLdBalPwrSwch Previos value 0 Current value 1 No of cells 1 Parameter Description This parameter is a switch indicating whether load balance based on downlink transmitting power is supported or not. This parameter indicates the weight of downlink transmitting power. When evaluating the cell load, several factors such as downlink channellization code, downlink transmitting power, uplink RTWP and HSDPA throughput are taken into account for load balance. This parameter is a load balance switch which indicates whether the RRC load balance function is supported for initial RRC procedure used for accessing. This parameter is a service balance switch which indicates whether the RRC service balance function is supported for initial RRC procedure used for accessing. This parameter is a switch indicating whether load balance based on downlink channellization code resource is supported or not. This parameter indicates the weight of downlink channellization code. When evaluating the cell load, several factors such as downlink channellization code, downlink transmitting power,uplink RTWP and HSDPA throughput are taken into account for load balance. This parameter is a load balance switch which indicates whether the load balance function is supported for RAB assignment procedure.

SRB
A Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) is a radio bearer that carries DCCH signaling data. An SRB is used during connection establishment to establish the Radio Access Bearers (RABs) and then also to deliver signaling while on the connection(Fig1). The RNC provides different sets of configuration parameters (including SRB maximum bit rate) for different typical services.
