Bad EcNo Spot 1

RSCP

EcNo

Bad EcNo observed in JLT area. Too many server is the main issue in this road area. It is recommended to have physical audit of the
antenna in some sites to make more proper coverage profile in the road area. The recommendations are as next slides.

Bad EcNo Spot 1 Recommendations 1

Site Audit in DXB1926 :

- Downtilt 1926 sector B (SC40) as this sector has overshooting coverage. Large coverage could lead to Bad EcNo in busy hour.
- Re-azimuth or downtilt sector A (SC 39) to remove back lobe coverage of this sector in road area. This back lobe coverage of
sector A has become polluter as per DT logfile. Reduce CPICH power also recommended.

Bad EcNo Spot 1 Recommendations 2

Site Audit in DXB5471 :

- Downtilt 5471 sector A (SC120) or re-azimuth the sector so this sector coverage in the road can be removed as it has become
polluter. Reflection is suspected to be the reason this sector cover some patch in the road. Reduce CPICH power is recommended
if physical antenna change gave minor effect.

Bad EcNo Spot 1 Recommendations 3

Site Audit in DXB236 :

- Downtilt DXB236 sector C (SC302) as this sector has overshooting coverage shown by picture below. Theres blockage from
metro station in the near coverage area also so uptilt will not improve the coverage.
- Reduce CPICH power of DXB236 sector A (SC300) as this sector should not cover main road area.

Bad EcNo Spot 1 Recommendations 4

Site Audit in DXB1478 :

- Uptilt DXB1478 sector B (SC49). This sector should have more dominant coverage in the road. Reorientation of antenna can be
trialed for better coverage of this sector.
- Downtilt DXB1478 sector A (SC48). As per coverage plot, this sector has better coverage in far distance area. Re-azimuth from 60
to 70 is recommended to avoid back loop suspected due to reflection.

Bad EcNo Spot 1 Recommendations 5

Site Audit in DXB5707:

- DXB5707 (SC 56) should not have coverage in main road area as shown by picture below. Downtilt, re-azimuth or reduce CPICH
power is recommended.

Bad EcNo Spot 1 Recommendations 6

Site Audit in DXB4684:

- Uptilt DXB4684 sector B (SC150) to extend dominant coverage of this sector in main road area
- Re-azimuth DXB4684 sector A from 70 to 80 to remove back lobe coverage suspected due to reflection. This also useful to provide
better coverage of other road in from of this sector.

Bad EcNo Spot 1 Recommendations 7

Site Audit in DXB5694:

- Downtilt DXB5694 sector C (SC462) and reduce CPICH power as this sector has become polluter along the main road.
- Downtilt DXB5694 sector A (SC460) for reducing overshooting and back lobe coverage

EcNo

Bad EcNo due to no dominant coverage. Recommendation as following slide.

Bad EcNo Spot 2 - Recommendations

RSCP

DXB2554 sector B (SC 233) should

have more dominant coverage in the
bad patch area.
Recommendation :
- Re-azimuth DXB2554 sector B
from 180 to 210 is recommended
as current azimuth covering open
area (need to be confirmed in the
field).
- Increase CPICH power from 330 to
360 for 2554 sector B. this one can
be trialed first before re-azimuth
taken

Bad EcNo due to no dominant coverage. Recommendation as following slide.

Bad EcNo Spot 3 - Recommendations

RSCP

DXB2554 sector B (SC 233) should

have more dominant coverage in the
bad patch area.
Recommendation :
- Overshooting coverage from
DXB2554 sector A (SC 232)
observed. Downtilt this sector is
recommended.
- DXB2667 sector A (SC 184) should
be more dominant. Antenna reazimuth to cover more road
direction is recommended.
- CPICH power can be increased in
DXB5436 (SC 497), if the
utilization is high, F4 is
recommended on this site.

RSCP

DXB5103 sector A (SC 188) should have more

dominant coverage in main road area.
Recommendation :
- Audit the antenna in DXB5103 sector A
(SC180) , re-azimuth and uptilt to cover
more dominantly in the main road.
- Overshooting from DXB1895 sector A (SC
140) observed. Downtlt 2 degrees is
recommended :

EcNo

Bad EcNo due to low coverage patch. Recommendation as following slide

Bad EcNo Spot 5 - Recommendations

DXB4089 sector A (SC 408) has low coverage

in the main road area.
Recommendation :
- Re-azimuth DXB4089 sector A (SC 408)
from 30 to 350 degree. Uptilt by 2 degree
also recommended as current tilt is 8.
- Reazimuth DXB1339 sector C (SC 342)
from 270 to 220 is recommended to fill the
possible coverage hole after antenna reazimuth on DXB4089 sector A

Bad EcNo due to no dominant issue. Recommendation as following slide

Bad EcNo Spot 6 - Recommendations

Sub spot 1 :
DXB5698 (Oasis center) couldnt cover the
road properly. This is already known issue.
Antenna relocation and additional height is on
progress.
Sub spot 2:

Too many server with good coverage in the

bad spot area, increase CPICH power in
DXB5472 sector A (SC496) and DXB5472
sector B (SC497) are recommended.

SC 281

- DXB4421 sector B (SC 281) has low

coverage in main lobe area in the road.
Uptilt this sector and increase CPICH power
are recommended for this sector
- Site audit is needed to check the possibility
for additional sector in DXB858 in 350
degree direction

Bad EcNo due to no dominant issue. Recommendation as following slide

Bad EcNo Spot 8 - Recommendations

- DXB5388 sector A (SC 76) has low

coverage in main road area. Re-azimuth the
antenna from 0 to 340 should give better
coverage in the bad spot area.
- As per last site audit data in DXB5388
sector A, E tilt is set to 8 or 10. Uptilt is
recommended to provide better coverage
after antenna re-azimuth

Spot 9

Bad EcNo Spot 9

RSCP

EcNo

Bad EcNo due to pilot pollution issue. Recommendation as following slide

Bad EcNo Spot 9 Recommendation 1

- Downtilt DXB4411 sector B (SC 121) as this sector has

overshooting coverage area

Bad EcNo Spot 9 Recommendation 2

Site DXB4152 sector B has no good coverage in sh.

Zayed road area due to building obstacle and only
become polluter along the main road.
Recommendation:
Reazimuth DXB4152 sector B from 180 to 130 is
recommended to check whether this change can give
these benefits:
- Reducing pilot pollution issue in sh. Zayed road area
- Providing new dominant server in130 degree direction
as other drive test shown this area is suffering from
coverage issue

Bad EcNo Spot 9 Recommendation 3

Recommendation:
CPICH power reduction in DXB421 sector A and B (SC168 )
as in some spots, this sector become polluter:

Bad EcNo Spot 9 Recommendation 4

DXB4190 sector A (SC 424) is unnecessary server in the

main road area. While DXB4190 sector C (SC426) should
cover more dominantly in 0 degree direction.
Recommendation:
Re-azimuth DXB4190 from 60/180/220/300 to 0/80/180/220
To create more dominant server in the road as well as
removing one of unnecessary server in the road.
