Analysis Process
Analysis process
First we shall analyze and compare the item of BSC measurement function to have a rough idea for the
whole network.
During analyzing, if any important items (such as call drop rate or handover success rate) are abnormal,
we shall do further detailed analysis for the

corresponding items.
Page10
Analysis Process
There are 26 clusters in the BSC6000 traffic statistics, 4 of them
are important for the optimization.

Page17
CPU Usage Measurement
CPU measurement function includes two statistic items:

Percentage of CPU occupation (%) Peak percentage of CPU occupation (%)
The former one is the percentage of CPU in busy status during the measurement cycle. This item indicates the load of BSC. The latter one is the maximum CPU occupation within measurement cycle
Page18
CPU Usage Measurement
Page19
KPI Measurement
KPI measurement is about the traffic statistics of each

cell, it includes all the important items, helping the engineer analyze each cell performance
Page20
Interference Band Measurement Report
Interference band is the interference level contained in the RF RES IND

message that the BTS reports to the

BSC when the channel is idle. There are five levels. The level range of each band is set through the LMT. The higher rank suggests higher interference level. An idle channel at interference band 4 or 5 suggests the existence of interference.

TCHF(H) Receive Level Measurement
The valid MRs that the BSC receives contain the ranks of the uplink and downlink receive level and the ranks of the
uplink and downlink receive quality
The receive level has eight ranks, and higher rank suggests greater receive level
The receive quality has eight ranks, and higher rank

suggests worse receive quality

Neighbor Cell Level Measurement
Neighbor Cell Level Measurement per Cell refers to the measurement of mean receive level of neighbor cells. This measurement unit helps to determine whether to configure neighbor cells.
If Number of MRs of Neighbor Cells and Strength of Signals in Neighbor Cells are higher ,this cell should be configured as neighbor cell.
Page26
Neighbor Cell Level Measurement
Page27
Outgoing Inter-cell Handover Measurement
This measurement refers to performance of MS handover from target cell to the each neighbor cell, including Handover request times, handover success times, radio handover success rate
It also record the handover reason, such as receive level , bad quality, better cell, TA, receive level drop, enhance dual band cell.
Page28
Outgoing Inter-cell Handover Measurement
Page29
Incoming Inter-cell Handover Measurement
This measurement refers to performance of MS handover from each neighbor cell to this serving cell, including Handover request times, handover success times, radio handover success rate
From the incoming inter-cell handover measurement, can locate the neighbor cell which handover to this cell is not good.
Page30
Incoming Inter-cell Handover Measurement
Page31
Intra-cell Handover Measurement
It measures the intra-cell handover request times, success times.
This traffic unit also measure the reasons of intra-cell handover: interference intra-cell handover, TCHF-TCHH in the AMR calling, intra-cell handover during the channel conversion, overlaid/underlaid handover.
Page32
Intra-cell Handover Measurement
Page33
Uplink-and-Downlink Balance Measurement
Proper power estimation during network planning is a

prerequisite for normal operation of the system. The uplink and downlink signals in the coverage area must be balanced.
The MR that the BSC receives contains the uplink receive level and the downlink receive level. The uplink and
downlink balance level is determined by the following

formula: Downlink receive level uplink receive level 6 .

Page36
Power Control Messages
Power Control Messages per Cell refers to the
measurement of the
transmission power and the receive level between the
BTS and the MS. It can

measure the coverage of cell and the receive level or quality average.
Page37
Power Control Messages
Page38
Radio Link Failure Measurement
Radio Link Failure Measurement per TRX refers
to the measurement of level,

quality, and TA in the MR during call drops. From this unit can check is there any interference or coverage too low. Judge the call drop position from Radio link failure
measurement based on TA
Page39
Call Drop Measurement
Call drop measurement classify all the call drop by
reasons and the channel type
According this traffic , can get the detail reason of call drop ,helping locate the call drop problem
Page40
Call Drop Measurement
Page41
AMR Measurement
The BSC measures these counters when receiving the SETUP or CALL CONFIRMED message that contains the speech version.
It indicates penetration of AMR MS.

Call Drop Analysis
Call drop in stable state: call drop during the calling, the major reasons are error indication and connect failure.
Call drop in handover state: call drop during handover, in other word , handover failure and reset-up also failure.
Call drop due to Abis terrestrial link failure: normally the reason is Abis transmission, also can check alarm system to find out this problem. Call drop due to equipment failure: the call drop reason is related to hardware fault. Call drop due to force handover: during the calling, system force the MS handover and handover failure , call drop occur.
Page46
Radio Link Failure Measurement
Check receive level, quality and TA in radio link failure measurement to analysis the call drop type:
Edge call drop: low receiving signaling strength, large TA. Short distance call drop: low receiving signal strength and small TA.
BQ call drop: high receiving signal strength and poor quality.
Page47
Edge Call Drop
Causes
MS is out of cells effective coverage area, Island phenomenon caused by over shooting or missing neighbor, Isolated site.
Solutions
Add new site to guarantee the effective continuous coverage; Add the necessary neighbor;
Adjust antenna height and antenna downtilt, use high gain antenna;
Modify some parameters
Page48
Short Distance Call Drop
Causes
Poor coverage caused by complicated terrain or high dense building
Solutions
Increase EIRP Adjust antenna direction and downtilt, make the main lobe point to high traffic area
Adjust parameters related to call drop
Page49
Interference Call Drop
Monitor and locate interference through some traffic statistics
Analysis interference band to monitor uplink interference,

judging inter network or intra network interference according the relationship between interference and traffic Monitor uplink and downlink interference via TCHF(H) receive level measurement. If most M.R receive level high and the quality bad, the interference will be serious In BTS maintenance-maintain cell-configure frequency scan , can monitor which frequency is interfered
Page50
Page51
Solutions
Drive test in the suspected area, check the receive level and the quality; using the spectrum equipment to find out the interference resource.
Active frequency hopping, DTX and the Power control to reduce the interference.
Page52
Up-down Link Balance
Disposing method
Analyze up-down link balance measurement function statistics result and confirm whether the uplink and downlink are balanced.
In call drop measurement function, analyze the average
receiving signal strength and quality for both the uplink and
downlink .
In power control measurement function, analyze the average
receiving signal strength for both the uplink and downlink .

it is just related to certain cell or to all the neighbor cells
From neighbor cell revel to decide deleting or adding neighbor cell
Check Intra-cell handover measurement to monitor AMR,

overlaid/underlaid performance
Page56
Handover Analysis

Monitor transmission and board alarms Analysis Up-down link balance measurement to
make sure that cell unbalance or not
Interference also will make the handover success rate lower, so should pay more attend to
interference band TCHF(TCHH) receive level

measurement
Page57
Handover Parameters
Locate and solution
Check whether the handover threshold such as TA, BQ and handover
function switch are suitable or not.
Check whether the successful TCH seizures for handover are much more than successful TCH seizures for call. If handover times divided by call times is larger than 3, then it indicates that there may be pingpong handover. Check the parameter settings and adjust them (layer setting, layer handover hysteresis, inter cell handover hysteresis, PBGT threshold, etc.).
Check whether the average signal strength is low when the handover happens. If so, it indicates the edge handover threshold is too low.
