Initial tuning
start with site shake down o verify basic datafill scrambling code, neighbors, parameters o Call utran support to check if the site has any major / critical alarms before stating drive test. o conduct calls on each sector / cell to test if all sectors are ok and do not have any hardware issues o Drive around the site to determine if the feeders are not swapped o Drive away from site to determine if the site plumbing ./ antennas are ok o Once site is cleared, start with cluster tuning
Cluster tuning scanner, short voice call, long voice call, hs calls if needed , R99 calls if needed, idle mode UE, if needed.
Impact of frequent changes of best server would NOT be visible in connected mode for R99 but would lead to sub-optimal HSDPA performance No soft handover in downlink on HSDPA for data channel
RF optimization is the key to improving HSDPA performance Poor RF conditions results in lower CQI reported by UE and smaller Mac-HS TB sizes to be scheduled Numerous cell-changes impact throughput due to During drive tests, run one of the UR in idle mode and collect idle mode log. Generate serving cell plot and identify fragmented cells. Tilt / azimuth changes to create Pilot dominance
How will you evaluate call setup failures using Drive test post processing tool
identify if the UE initiated call in correct cell cell re selection parameters and from idle mode drive test - Check if ue was in good / poor radio environment . If UE was in poor radio environment, check scanner logs to identify split cells, overshooting cells and alarms on the site - If ue was in good radio environment, check ue tx power check if sector has ul interference rssi value from sib 7 - Layer 3 message to identify the stage of failure in the rrc process. - Add layer 3 details -

where CPICH_RSCP is calculated, and the other three parameters are sent on SIB 5 and 6 The Power Ramp Step is from an RRC signaling message. It is in dBs, and tells the UE how much it should increase its power from the previous preamble. .

IRAT Tuning
-
Determine why the Ue is moving from W2G. Poor quality on WCDMA fix pilot pollution, overshooting pilots, missing umts neighbors, alarms on adjacent sites Poor coverage on WCDMA - missing sites, delayed integration of new sites, edge of the network. check for time spent on UMTS to decide if IRAT settings are too steep / lenient Verify IRAT KPI from table GSM Relation to view umts to gsm neighbor irat statistics to isolate neighbor relationships with high failure rate.
For optimization of IRAT HO o Verify data fill definition of external GSM cells in umts- bcch, bsic, lac, o Verify any W2G missing neighbors from analysis of GSM and umts scanner data o Verify definition of remote LAC in MSC datafill o Verify definition of data fill in GSM and UMTS SGSN o Verify coverage of GSM in the area of IRAT failures o Verify if GSM cell has congestion / blocking, that could lead to failed IRATs check if an event 2d was triggered just before a drop call indication that event 2d threshold should be increased ( ecio from -12 to say -9 or rscp from say -105 to say -102 or higher.) Check the cause of IRAT ecio bad quality or rscp poor coverage in order to adjust these thresholds. Layer 3 message: measurement report contains the event 2d. Layer 3 message: measurement control - has information on gsm neighbors ( bcch, bsic) to measure and the event 3a thresholds Layer 3 message: measurement report after the above will have the 3a event.
