1. BSS teams- Those who are maintaining the sites( One Team comprising of One SDE and One JTO
for one SDCA)
2. NQM teams( Network Quality Management ) -Those who are conducting drive test , post
processing of the drive files and analysing the data to ensure proper coverage and quality .(One
Team comprising of one SDE and one JTO for one Division)
3. RP wing- Radio parameter planning and approving team( Centralised team for one Circle)
4. OMCR team.-Database management ,KPI data collection and Soft parameter implementing
team( Centralised team for one Circle)
The main Flow of the process involved in the cluster optimization are
mentioned below along with the teams involved:
• Identifying poor cells through statistical analysis & pre drive test of the entire cluster(NQM)
• After completion of the pre drive, evaluate the performance score of the cluster based on
weighted method of computation (NQM)
2. Optimization Stage
Implement the soft and hard parameter changes with the approval of RP(BSS ,NQM,RP,
and OMC)
• Conduct repeated localized comparison drives wherever change in soft/ hard parameters
have been made. (NQM)
• Compare the Cluster wise KPIs such as Call drop, Call Set up Success Rate, Assignment Failure
Rate, Hand Over Failure etc. of Pre and Post optimisation statistics(NQM).
• Evaluate the performance score of the cluster based on weighted method of computation
(NQM).
• Prepare a detailed report containing action points for further improvement of the
performance score . (NQM)
• Repeat the optimization process for all the clusters and prepare a comparison score.
• Keep all pre/post drive data and plots for future reference.
VSWR/Power measurement of all sites needs to be done and recorded.. VSWR should be ideally
less than 1.3. Return losses should be high. For a VSWR value of 1.01, the return Loss will be ideally
46.1 dB and for a VSWR value of 3.25, the return loss will be 5.5 dB. Thus, a large positive return loss
indicates the reflected power is small relative to the incident power, which indicates good impedance
match from source to load.
Few possible reasons for high VSWR values are
1. RF cable(waveguide) connector loose connection
2. Antenna port failure
3. Damage of waveguide/Jumper cable
4. Water leakage to the waveguide due to the improper sealing of the connector points/ antennae
port or non availability of weather proof sealing .
b. Addition and deletion of DRX /cabinet/ Antennae at BTS sites as directed by NQM.
The above work can be executed based on the Change Request (CR) from the NQM. Capacity of the
sector are to be increased in such a way that the busy hour AMR HR penetration should not exceed
30% of the total capacity. Additional antennae / fourth sector also may be implemented based on
the approval of RP and NQM
1. Inspection of the BTS for loose cables , burnt cables , alarms etc and correction of the same.
Any loose /burnt cables in the BTS in the Tx side may affect the forward coupling power
which will be reflected at the time of power measurements.
1. BTS Tester
2. Power Meter.
3. Vehicle
Give priority to a cluster if it has any problems or some new sites have come up.
b)Verify all the hard parameters of the site like Antenna height, Orientation, Tilt, Lat/Long etc by
Carefully check for any blocking in front of the antenna by the platform rails or
antennae/fixture of any operator in the case of IP sites.
c)Take the average busy hour statistics(KPI) of one week and drill down the issues of the sites
KPIs like CSSR, call drop, assignment failures, handover failures can be obtained from the
daily reports like Cell wise reports, TDMA report and Per neighbour HO report.
d) Neighbour optimization which includes deletion of unwanted neighbours and addition of required
neighbours which are not defined.
The neighbours, which were added long back may not be required at the present as many
new sites coming up in between .These neighbours may cause unwanted handover to a
distant cell and in turn, call may get dropped.
f)Conduct the drive test through maximum roads and analyse using post processing tools before the
actual optimization and after the optimization
Post processing tool can be used for Coverage Analysis, Quality Analysis, Event Analysis
etc. The drive test data is loaded and the OMC data can be linked to it.
Event based analysis is used for Call drop Analysis, SDCCH drop analysis, Handover
failure analysis etc.
Overshooting cell identification, Cable swap issues, Neighbour list optimization etc can
also be done with the help of post processing tool.
Finding out the ARFCN reuse load is possible with post processing tools.
g)Plan for the orientation / tilt / height changes based on the inputs from drive as well as the OMC
statistics and implement it .
Changing the physical parameters of antenna will help to improve the coverage/ reduce
the overshooting of the sector and to solve the issues related to overshooting like
interference and High level of Handover failure.
h) Prepare a CR for the Changes in the BCCH ,BSIC ,Add / Delete neighbour , if require HO Margin or
any other parameter and forward it for the approval of RP for the implementation
i) Evaluate the performance score of the cluster based on weighted method of computation.
Score can be calculated both for pre and post drive and results can be compared.
After the entire process of optimization and post drive is complete, post optimization
performance score needs to be computed.
Detailed report needs to be prepared highlighting the action points required for further
performance improvement.
Cells with poor KPIs may be identified and reasons for the poor performance evaluated.
Keep record of all pre/post drive data and plots.
The entire process needs to be repeated for all clusters and Performance score of
clusters can be compared for relative performance evaluation and preparation of future
action plan.
Note: Suitable data collection formats needs to be prepared to make the entire process of
work flow smooth.
WORKS OF RP.
a. Verification of BCCH/BSIC corrections and neighbour addition / deletion suggested by NQM and
implement.
b. Allotment of equipments and other store items for adding capacity.
WORKS OF OMC
a. Take the relevant reports from the database in the required format and pass it to NQM for
further analysis.
b. Implement the CRs approved the RP wing for parameter changes
