Network Optimization Phases Step 1
Single Site Verification
To verify the functionality of every new site.
Objectives
To ensure there are no faults related to hardware
installation or parameter settings.

Network Optimization Phases Step 2 RF Optimization
Once most the sites in a given area are integrated andverified, RF (or Cluster) optimization could begin.
Objectives
To optimize coverage while in the same time keeping
interference and pilot pollution under control over the
target area. This phase also includes the verification and
optimization of the 3G neighbor lists.

Network Optimization Phases Step 3 Services Testing & Parameters Optimization
To be conducted in areas of good RF conditions in order
to exclude any coverage issues. Such testing does not
need to be performed for each cell but the drive route
must include different clutter types and environments.
Objectives
To assess the performance and identify any need for
specific parameter optimization.

Network Optimization Phases Step 4 Regular Reference Route Testing & Stats Analysis
Constant monitoring and evaluation of the network
performance can be based on drive test as well as traffic
statistic analysis.
Results of the regular analysis may necessitate re-visits
to the RF optimization and/or parameters tuning.
Objectives
To identify any new issues that could arise, for example,as a result of increase in traffic or changes in the
environment.

RF Optimization - Preparation Clutters
RF optimization should be carried out for groups or clusters of
sites rather than on single site basis, because the cells
performance (capacity, coverage and quality) will influence each
other.

and all the major roads and streets as well as any other important
locations.

RF Analysis Approaches Cell Dominance Cells with no dominance at all
A site was not radiating during the drive survey
Very poor dominance can also be caused by blocking of the
antenna. So a site visit must be made to verify the antenna
clearance.
Cells with either excessive or poor dominance
This could be due to a high site or non-optimum antenna down tilts.
Cells with too large dominance will be causing interference toadjacent cells resulting in poorer quality and capacity.

Areas of non-dominance:
Areas where there is not a single clear dominant cell and
where the best server changes too frequently.
Result: Excessive number of soft hand off events reducing
the system efficiency and increasing the probability of call
drops.
UE vs. Scanner Best Serving Cells:
Comparison between the UE and scanner SC plots.Significant differences between the plots may indicate a
missing neighbor or failed soft handoff problem.

below:
Good: RSCP -85 dBm
Fair: -95 dBm RSCP < -85 dBm
Poor: RSCP < - 95 dBm
Examine the RSCP coverage on per cell bases in order
to highlight any cells that have too large a footprint.

High UE Tx power means possible poor uplink coverage.
Areas of high Tx power should be compared to the CPICH
pilots to verify if the problem only exists on the uplink.

RF Analysis Approaches Pilot
Pollution Definition of Pilot Pollution:
Within a certain margin (which is called ThRSCP_Relative) to the
best server, and all the pilots should be > -100dBm
The pilot number (whose strength > best server strength
ThRSCP_Relative) > ThN (ThN means active set size, normally 3)
Cells which are frequently seen as polluters (e.g. >8% time)
should be marked and investigated.
Pilot Pollution results should be used in conjunction with the
Estimated Active Set Size

Pollution Estimated Active Set Size
Another useful measure of pilot pollution is by looking at the
estimated active set based on the scanner data. This plot is
obtained by modeling the network soft handoff parameters
within Post process tool.
In order to see areas of excessive SHO candidates, the
estimated active set size is allowed to exceed maximum of 3.
This can be done in conjunction with the Pilot pollution
analysis.

RF Analysis Approaches Neighbor List
Neighbor List Verification
The neighbor list could be verified and optimized using the
Neighbor List Verification tool within Actix.
Recommendations for Each Cell:
Retain: This indicates that those neighbors have been
confirmed from the drive survey data.
Add: Missing neighbors
Remove: These neighbors that were not measured but arein the neighbor list.Careful consideration is needed prior to removing neighbourssince the Actix results are drive route dependent.

Drop Call Analysis - RF related issues :
Poor coverage (RSCP & Ec/Io)
High interference and hence poor Ec/Io
Poor uplink coverage (insufficient UE Tx power)
Poor dominance (best cell changes too frequently
resulting in too many SHO events)
Pilot pollution (too many cells present)
Missing neighbors
Fast change of RF conditions (e.g. turning a corner)

Drop Call Analysis Example
Comparing the best servers from the UE and the scanner
at the time of drop: Drop Call 1 (UE vs. scanner best server) shows that for the
scanner and UE SC008 is the best server prior to the drop.
However, about 30 seconds before the drop, the scannerselected SC018 as the best server while the UE continued
to have only SC009 in its active set resulting in the drop call.
Immediately after the drop, the UE camps on SC018.

Conclusion
Examining the UE Active and Monitored set, Figure does not
show SC018 to be measured by the UE prior to the drop.
This scenario resembles a missing neighbor problem

Drop Call Analysis Example Solution:
Looking at drop call Figure clearly shows that at the location
of the drop, SC018 should not be the best server.
Cell SC018 clearly requires some down tilting to control its
interference into the area of Drop 1. To illustrate this,
RSCP coverage of SC018 shows clearly that the cells isextending into a large area. E.g. around the location of drop
call, SC018 RSCP is > -75dBm.
