Network Optimization Process


l Single site verification

As the first phase of the optimization, the single site verification is to test the functions of each new site. The objectives of the single site verification are to ensure correct site installation and parameter configuration.
l RF optimization

Once the installation and verification of all the sites in the planned area are complete, RF (or cluster) optimization starts immediately. As one of main phases in network optimization, RF optimization can control the pilot pollution and soft handover ratio in the drive test while optimizing the signal coverage, thus ensuring normal distribution of radio signals before service parameters are optimized. RF optimization covers the optimization of the hardware of the antenna system and the list of neighboring cells. When RF optimization is tested for the first time, all the cells in the area should be traversed as much as possible to rectify hardware faults.

Objectives of RF Optimization
lRF optimization is to solve the problems such as signal coverage, pilot pollution, and soft

handover ratio in the drive test. In practice, however, carriers have different KPI requirements, index definitions, and considerations. Therefore, the objectives of RF optimization should be to meet the requirements of coverage and handover KPIs in contracts (commercial office) or planning reports (pilot office) and the indexes should be defined according to the requirements of contracts.
Acceptance Item Reference Value Remarks Perform test on the acceptance route that should not cover any area without coverage. The downlink CPICH Ec/Io of the planned full-coverage service is greater than or equal to -12 dB and the downlink CPICH RSCP is greater than or equal to -95 dBm. Test result from the Scanner, with no service carried outdoors Test result from the Scanner, with no service carried outdoors The soft handover ratio in the RF optimization phase should be 5% to 10% lower than the target value. This is because the later optimization will cause a rise of soft handover ratio.

Preparations for RF Optimization


lDivide clusters and ensure that all the sites in clusters are working

Considering the characteristics of the UMTS system, for example, the coverage and capacity affect each other and the frequency reuse factor is 1, RF optimization should be implemented on the basis of a group of or a cluster of sites instead of a single site. In this way, the interference from an intra-frequency neighboring cell is also considered in RF optimization. Before adjusting a site, you must analyze the effect of the adjustment on neighboring sites in detail.

l Determine the test route

[ Before the drive test, you should determine the test route with the customer. The test route should cover the route predefined by the customer. If the route predefined by the customer cannot be covered, you should notify the customer of the information in time. [ The KPI test route is a core one in the test route of RF optimization, and its optimization is a core task in RF optimization. In addition, the test route should also cover main streets, important places, and VIP/VIC.

Coverage Analysis
l As a major content in RF optimization, coverage analysis

focuses on signal distribution.

Classification of coverage problems:


l Poor coverage l Cross coverage l Uplink and downlink unbalance l Area without dominant cell

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

HUAWEI Confidential

Page 19

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Poor Coverage
lConcept: The RSCP of pilot signals in the coverage area is smaller than -95

dBm.
lEnvironment: valley, mountainside back, elevator shaft, tunnel, underground

garage, basement, inside of a high building, and so on.


lConsequence: Full-coverage services are difficult to access the network; the

call drops; the UE cannot camp on a cell and even drops from the network due to failure to initiate location update and location registration requests. Countermeasures:
lIncrease the pilot power, adjust the azimuth and tilt of the antenna, raise the

antenna, and replace the antenna with an antenna with a higher gain to optimize the coverage.
lAdd new BTSs or increase the coverage of neighboring BTSs to extend the

overlapped coverage between two BTSs and ensure an appropriate soft handover area. (Note that co-channel interference and adjacent-channel interference may be caused after the coverage is increased.)
lAdd new BTSs or RRUs to extend the coverage. lUse the solutions such as the RRU, indoor distribution system, leaky cable,

and directional antenna.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

HUAWEI Confidential

Page 20

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Cross Coverage
lConcept: The area covered by a BTS exceeds the planned scope

and discontinuous dominant areas are formed in the areas covered by other BTSs.
lEnvironment: hills and areas along roads and harbors lConsequence: handover failure and island effect

Countermeasures:
lDo not have the antenna face the road or use surrounding

buildings or other obstacles to decrease the cross coverage. (Note that co-channel interference with other BTSs may be caused.)
lFor a BTS that is located at a high place, replace the site

address, adjust the pilot power, or use an RET antenna to decrease the coverage and eliminate the island effect.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Uplink and Downlink Unbalance


lConcept: In the target coverage area, the uplink coverage of the symmetrical service

is poor (the requirements of the uplink BLER cannot be met even if the transmit power of the UE reaches a maximum value), or the downlink coverage is poor (the requirements of the downlink BLER cannot be met even if the code transmit power of the downlink DCH reaches a maximum value).
lConsequence: The call is easy to drop due to poor uplink coverage.

Countermeasures:
lFor the uplink and downlink unbalance caused by uplink

interference, monitor the RTWP alarm of the BTS to check whether the interference exists. For details, see the WInterference Processing Guideline.
lFor poor uplink coverage, add a TMA. lFor poor downlink coverage, adjust power settings if the

capacity is sufficient, or replace the power amplifier with a larger one.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Area Without Dominant Cell

lConcept: There is no dominant cell or the dominant cell changes

frequently in the area.


lConsequence: Frequent handover occurs; the system efficiency falls; the

call is easy to drop.

Countermeasures:
lFor the area without dominant cell, adjust the tilt and

azimuth of the antenna to increase the coverage of a cell with good signals (or a near cell) and decrease the coverage of other cells with poor signals (or far cells).

Process for Coverage Analysis


Downlink coverage analysis Downlink coverage analysis is to analyze the CPICH RSCP obtained in the drive test. The quality standard of the CPICH RSCP should be defined on the basis of the optimization standard. Assume that the optimization standard of the CPICH RSCP is as follows: The proportion of the CPICH_RSCP greater than or equal to -95 dBm is greater than or equal to 95%. According to the test result from the Scanner with no service carried outdoors, the quality standard is defined as follows:
l l l

Good: CPICH_RSCP -85 dBm Fair: -95 dBm CPICH_RSCP < -85 dBm Poor: CPICH_RSCP < -95 dBm

Analysis methods: 1. Analysis of pilot coverage intensity 2. Analysis of a dominant cell 3. Analysis of the coverage comparison between the UE and Scanner

Process for Coverage Analysis


Uplink coverage analysis Uplink coverage analysis is to analyze the UE Tx Power obtained in the drive test. The quality standard of the UE Tx Power should be defined on the basis of the optimization standard. Assume that the optimization standard of the UE Tx Power is as follows: The proportion of the UE Tx Power smaller than or equal to 10 dBm is greater than or equal to 95%. Assume that the maximum transmit power of the UE is 21 dBm, according to the test result of the voice services on the UE, the quality standard is defined as follows:
l l l

Good: UE_Tx_Power 0 dBm Fair: 0 dBm < UE_Tx_Power 10 dBm Poor: UE_Tx_Power > 10 dBm

Definition and Decision Standard of the Pilot Pollution


Definition: There are too many strong pilots at a point, but the point lacks a dominant pilot that is strong enough. When the following conditions are reached, the pilot pollution occurs at the point: The number of pilots with CPICH_RSCP greater than ThRSCP_Absolute is greater than ThN. (CPICH_RSCP1st - CPICH_RSCP(ThN +1)th) < ThRSCP_Relative

If ThRSCP_Absolute = -100 dBm, ThN = 3, and ThRSCP_Relative = 5 dB, the decision standard of the pilot pollution is as follows:
l 1. The number of pilots with CPICH_RSCP greater than -100 dBm is greater

than three.
l 2. The difference between the strongest pilot and weakest pilot is smaller than 5

dB.
l When conditions 1 and 2 are both reached, the pilot pollution occurs.

Handover Analysis

In the RF optimization phase, the related handover problems can be solved through optimizing neighboring cells and controlling the soft handover ratio. You can control the size and location of a handover area through adjusting RF parameters to decrease the call drop due to sharp changes of signals and improve the handover success ratio. For analysis of other handover problems, see the W-Handover and Call Drop Optimization Guideline.

Neighborhood Optimization
The optimization of neighboring cells covers two cases: adding a neighboring cell and deleting a neighboring cell.
l Missed configuration of a neighboring cell: When a cell with strong signals does

not join the active set, the interference rises and even the call drops.
l Redundant neighboring cell: When there are too many messages of neighboring

cells, signaling overheads are increased greatly and a required neighboring cell cannot be added when neighboring cells are fully configured. In the RF optimization phase, the missed configuration of a neighboring cell is a major consideration. The specific analysis methods are follows: 1. Analysis based on the DT result 2. Analysis based on Scanner data 3. Analysis based on UE data

Analysis of Soft Handover Ratio


Definition of soft handover ratio According to the DT data collected on the Scanner, you can obtain the soft handover ratio. The soft handover ratio is defined as follows: Soft handover ratio = Number of points matching handover conditions collected on the Scanner in the DT / Total number of points collected on the Scanner in the DT

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

HUAWEI Confidential

Page 40

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Analysis of Soft Handover Ratio


Optimization principles for soft handover:
1. The soft handover ratio in the RF optimization phase should be 5% to 10% lower than the target KPI value. 2. If the large-scale coverage optimization and pilot pollution adjustment are complete, and the soft handover ratio approximates to the target value, you do not need to specially optimize the soft handover ratio and only need to properly adjust related parameters in the parameter optimization phase. 3. If the soft handover ratio is too large, you should shrink the coverage area to decrease or change the soft handover area. You should ensure that the adjustment does not expand the existing area with poor coverage, cause a new area with poor coverage, or cause more pilot pollutions.

Improper Settings of Engineering Parameters Cause Poor Coverage


Analysis The RSCP of the pilot in the area in a red circle is smaller than -95 dBm, indicating poor coverage. In the area, the call may drop. As shown in the figure in P44, the area is mainly covered by cell B of Xiajiao Sugar Refinery and partially covered by cell A of Materials Building. The first consideration is to adjust the two cells to enhance the coverage in the area. According to the site survey report, cell A of Materials Building is facing high buildings. In this case, the problem cannot be solved through adjusting the antenna in the cell.

Improper Site Address Causes Cross Coverage

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Improper Site Address Causes Cross Coverage


Analysis In a pilot office, the height of the site on the Erqi Road exceeds 60 m, which is about 20 m higher than the average height of its surrounding buildings. Therefore, the cross coverage is easy to form, which causes co-channel interference with other sites. Generally, if a site is located at a high place, you can replace the antenna with the fixed electrical tilt 2 with an antenna with the fixed electrical tilt 6. As the site on the Erqi Road is located on the coverage edge, you can adjust the azimuth and tilt of the antenna to decrease the interference with other sites. In this optimization, the preferable solution to the cross coverage is to increase the mechanical tilt and adjust the azimuth instead of to replace the antenna.

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Improper Site Address Causes Cross Coverage

lAdjustment measures: Increase the tilt to 4. After the adjustment, the cross

coverage is improved greatly. The cross coverage, however, still occurs in some areas on the road.

Improper Antenna Installation Causes Limited Coverage

PDF "pdfFactory Pro" www.fineprint.com.cn

Improper Antenna Installation Causes Limited Coverage


Analysis In a project, the antennas of the site are placed on the platform (10 m high), as shown in the figure in P50. In the optimization phase after network construction, VP mosaics often increase before the traffic light under the antennas. In this case, the image quality becomes poor and the PS 384k service is re-activated. According to the planning, the 3G network and 2G network share a site address. According to the 2G test data, the signals do not fluctuate greatly at the intersection and under the site. That is, if the 3G and 2G antennas are located at the same place, the 3G coverage at the intersection should also come from the site. Therefore, the causes for the problem are summarized as follows: (1) The 3G antenna is installed close to the wall of the platform, which blocks the propagation of signals. (2) The 2G antenna and its installation parts affect the pattern of the 3G antenna, which makes the radiation pattern of the 3G antenna vary. According to the installation scenario of the antennas, it is very difficult to replace the location of the 3G antenna.

lAdjustment measures: To avoid affecting 2G coverage, use the following solution with the

minimum changes: Connect the 3G Tx/Rx feeder and 2G Tx/Rx feeder to two ends of the wideband polarized antenna close to the road, and then connect the 3G Rx feeder and 2G Rx feeder to two ends of the wideband polarized antenna far from the road, as shown in the following figure.

Missed Neighboring Cell Configuration Causes Call Drop


Analysis
l

As shown in the figures in P62 and P63, the neighboring cell corresponding to scrambling code 128 may not be configured. To confirm the inference, view the message process near the place where the call drops. Find the latest intra-frequency measurement control message, and then check whether scrambling code 128 is contained in the list of intra-frequency neighboring cells. According to the result, scrambling code 128 is not contained in the list of intra-frequency neighboring cells. Therefore, the call drop is caused by missed neighboring cell configuration.

If only the UE data is available in the test, you can determine whether a required neighboring cell is not configured in the following way: [ Determine the scrambling codes of all the cells in the active set and monitored set measured on the UE before the call drop. [ Determine the scrambling code of the cell on which the UE camps after the call drop, and then compare the scrambling code with the scrambling codes in the active set and monitored set before the call drop. If the scrambling code is not in the list of scrambling codes in the active set and monitored set, the call drop may be caused by missed neighboring cell configuration. [ Check the list of neighboring cells for confirmation.

Common Adjustment Measures in RF Optimization


The adjustment measures in the RF optimization phase cover two aspects: list of neighboring cells and engineering parameters. Most coverage and interference problems can be solved through adjusting the following engineering parameters (arranged in descending order by priority): [ Antenna tilt [ Antenna azimuth [ Antenna height [ Antenna location [ Antenna type [ TMA (for example, add a TMA) [ Site type (for example, change the site supporting a 20 W power amplifier to the site supporting a 40 W power amplifier) [ Site location [ Site or RRU (for example, add a site or an RRU)
