Experience

25th March 2008 Present 3+ years RF Design/Planning and Optimization Engineer at wi-tribe Pakistan (Qtel Company) (Vendor Motorola/NSN and Huawei) Planning Responsibilities:

Radio Network Design and Nominal Cell Planning using PLANET EV & A-Toll. Network designing including max number of subscribers, network capacity and cell edge throughput Link budget comparison and detail coverage, capacity and feature testing for Motorola and Huawei wimax systems Redesign to remove/minimize coverage gaps and shift load from high utilization sites Soft parameter planning (Cell ID, permutation base etc.)

Propagation model calibration/tuning using drive test results, spectrum analyzer and CW generator Providing capacity relief methods like traffic priority, compression etc. Area profiling to verify DTM maps and realistic network planning avoiding over designing.

Optimization Responsibilities:
Optimization of network to achieve KPIs as per threshold

Network Entry success rate> 90%) Initial Ranging failure, identifying and removing coverage gaps) Improving overall network performance & capacity by improving utilization of High MCS Providing capacity relief to highly utilize sectors (improving higher MCS, offloading sectors, etc) Network Interference (Reduce Internal for coverage and capacity and External to ensure network availability MIMO B and MIMO A utilization Monitoring CPE deregistration analysis of worst cells DL and UL MCS distribution ( to calculate/improve capacity and coverage as per design

Forecasting of Cells based on Utilization, Usage, Throughput Providing step to be taken for capacity relief (TDD ratio changes, additional channel, 10 MHz migration Analyzing subscriber traffic behavior, forecast the future traffic growth Extensive Indoor testing to calculate indoor penetration losses in different clutters Tuning physical and logical parameters for Interference Reduction. Identification of hardware issues (Sleeping cell, MIMO A&B failure, Modem failure, AAA timeout). Drive test and scan DT using Agilent, XCAL and post processing using MapInfo External interference test using willteck spectrum analyzer Technical site surveys Providing level 3 supports to customers Analyzing Site health report and giving recommendations to increase overall performance of site QOS testing of different Wimax burst profiles

Achievements:

Receive appreciation from higher management on successfully doing nominal cell planning and implementing it for ph.2 (140 sites) with coverage area reliability of over 90%. Successfully conducted indoor testing to calculate realistic clutter losses which reduce up to 30% Base station resulting in CAPEX and OPEX saving. Redesigning to improve coverage holes in un-acquirable areas by optimizing neighboring sites. Successfully conducted TDD ratio changes and UL/DL MCS trials for capacity relief.

Microwave Transmission:

Nominal planning of Microwave Transmission connectivity for 15/23/26 GHz Hand on experience on Transmission Planning tool Commissioning & trouble shooting of Dragon wave Microwave Performing engineering change orders on on-air microwave links QOS testing of different burst profiles
