How to improve TBF Drop?

Check frequency in BBH and the retransmission rate in those cells. if

high retransmission --> for sure there is problem on Frequency.
Improve C/I (reduce interference)
Try use most BCCH TRX TS for PDCH
Make sure (E)GPRS link adaptation is enabled.
If frequency change doesn't get good result limit the (E)GPRS coding
scheme up to MCS7 instead of MCS9. MCS7 is more robust than
MCS9
Reduce no. of users per PDCH

The reason that the UE returns RB setup failure is incorrect user behavior.
There are two scenarios:
Scenario one:Since most UEs cannot simultaneously support the VP and high-speed PS services on the DL, it returns the RB setup failu
Scenario two:The 3G originating UE conducts the VP call, but the called party is in the GSM network, and does not support the VP serv
The RB setup failure caused by poor coverage can be divided into two types: poor UL signal quality and poor DL signal quality. If
DL is caused by the demodulation capacity of the UE or the RF performance. If the coverage issue is caused by the poor UL coverage,
caused by UL interference, and can be ascertained by checking RTWP.
