Location Areas
Location Area Design 2/2

• Different MSC cannot use the same


LAC.
• Location areas are important input
for transmission planners
• should be planned as early as possible
• Never define location area borders
along major roads!
• Dual band or microcellular networks
require more attention on LAC
planning
• co-located DCS and GSM cells are
defined to the same LAC
• same MSC to avoid too much location

Key Performance Indicators


• KPIs are figures used to evaluate
Network performance
• post processing of NMS data or
• drive test measurements data
• Usually one short term target and
one long term target
• check the network evolution and which
targets are achieved
• KPIs calculated with NMS data
• network performance on the operator
side.
• KPIs from drive test
• performance on the subscribers side
• Usually turn key projects are
evaluated according to some
predefined KPIs figures like drop call
rate

With Drive Tests


• Evaluate network performance from
the subscriber point of view
• KPIs information
• DL quality, call success rate, handover
success rate, DL signal level
• not statistically as reliable as NMS
information
• Added value of drive test
measurement
• find out the geographical position of
problems like bad DL quality to look for a
possible interference source in the area
• compare the performance of different
networks (benchmarking)
• display the signal level on the digital
maps to individuate areas with lack of
coverage eventually improve the
propagation model
• verify the neighbour list parameter plan

Mature Network Case
• In a mature network the primary targets are

failures
• Important use the information from NMS
• a general view of the network
performance
• Drive test measurements are still used
• but not in a massive way
• in areas where new sites are on air
• where interference and similar problems
are pointed out by NMS data analysis

Network Health Statistics


We have considered a typical network with BSC’s
to analyse the network performance. To undertake
this activity stastics of atleast 2 weeks should be
analysed. The key parameters to be considered
are;

 Call Success Rate


 Call Setup Success Rate
 Handover Success Rate
 Dropped Call Rate
 SDCCH Blocking Rate
 TCH Blocking Rate
10.

Customer sets a bench mark for these parameters as a


measure of quality of the network and expects the
performance to be equal or better than this. The typical value
of the bench marks for each of the above mentioned
parameters are as follows,

Call Success Rate - 98 %


Call Setup Success rate - 98 %
Handover Success Rate - 98 %
Dropped Call Rate - 1%
SDCCH Blocking Rate - 0.5 %

Parameter Settings

•Decide the Target Cell for handover in the Trouble Spot


•Filter the [Link] file on Handover Attempts ( before AND after numbers)
•Filter again on Neighbor ARFCN = Target Cell ARFCN
•Create another column as HO_Margin , with Delta for Neighbor_Level to RxLev
•Plot this on the MAP and see whether Handover Margin can be reduced to
improve quality OR increased to avoid Ping-Pong effects
•If handover margin settings are proper, and still handover is not occurring then it
could be a problem with Handover decision and processing parameters at the
BSC.

Optimisation Troubleshooting - Uplink
Interference
•Uplink Interference can be due to:
• Mobiles in reuse and adjacent channel cells
•External sources

•Interference due to Mobiles will be bursty and intermittent.


•The behavior and its effect on quality will be time dependent.
•More interference during heavy traffic hours.
•Interference from external sources can be continous or also
time dependent if the source is not continously ON.

•Uplink Interference measurement needs long term monitoring ,


collection of data, processing the data and estimating the
probability of interference , and also estimating the source.

• call set-up
• handover attempt (non-urgent)
• urgent handover attempt
• MS Priority level in the PIE element of Assignment Request or
Handover Request
• time of entering the queue
Allocation of TCH
• When a TCH is released (in either channel release or TSL/TRX lock)
the queue is checked from top to bottom in order to find a queuer
whose requirements match with the released channel
• If a suitable queued call is found the TCH is allocated to the queued
call and the queue is re-organised
