Identify the scope of problems
• According to the choose regulation, confirm the issue belongs to the whole network issue or
TOP cell issue.
• Based on these counters:
• L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.Radio、L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.TNL、L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.Cong、
• L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.HOFailure、L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.MME,
• output the distributed map about call drop cause, and confirm the major reason
• Analyze the trend of KPI changes
This picture showed the increased call drop rate was related with the increased user number closely.

• -Analyze the handover success rate trend, check if this trend was
corresponding to call drop rate trend.
• -Check if neighbor cell missed or not
• -Check if handover happened by exceeded cell radius
• - Handover failure was divided by S1-based handover failure, X2-based
handover failure and intra-eNodeB handover failure

20% and user number exceeded 10, DL interference was confirmed
Analyzed the relationship between downlink and uplink RB utilization rate and call drop rate
Analyzed BRD CPU utilization rate by VS.Board.CPUload.Max, especially LBBP board for
eRAN2.1&2.2 version, MPT board for eRAN3.0 version. If VS.Board.CPUload.Max exceed
90%, BRD load is higher

• Definition of T310
• Start: Upon detecting physical layer problem i.e. upon receiving N310 consecutive out-of-
sync indications from lower layers.
• Stop: Upon receiving N311 consecutive in-sync indications from lower layers, upon triggering
the handover procedure and upon initiating the connection re-establishment procedure.
• At expiry: If security is not activated: go to RRC_IDLE, else: initiate the connection re-
establishment procedure.

Definition of T304
Start
If the RRCConnectionReconfiguration message includes
the mobilityControlInfo and the UE is able to comply with
the configuration included in this message,
the UE shall:
start timer T304 with the timer value set to t304,
as included in the mobilityControlInfo.
Stop
if MAC successfully completes the random access procedure,
stop timer T304.

Case 1: Service drops are caused by the reason that
top UEs continuously fail in reestablishment.
As shown in the figure on the upper right, most abnormal releases on the
eNodeB are caused by failures in exchanging the first three signaling
messages during the reestablishment process.
As shown in the figure on the middle right, from the perspective of fault
occurrence time, most service drops occur in a continuous manner within a
period from 11:51 to 18:49 in cell 0.
As shown in the figure on the bottom right, from the perspective of TMSI
information, service drops are caused by a certain UE (TMSI C2 B0 B0 40)
and the main cause value of reestablishment is reconfiguration failure.
As shown in the figure on the bottom left, from the perspective of reconfiguration
message type, messages are not handover commands or measurement
configuration messages but may be CQI, sounding, and transmission mode
(TM) reconfiguration messages. In addition, the UE does not respond to the
RRC CONN REESTAB message and therefore the eNodeB releases E-
RABs 5s later.

Case 2: Service drops are caused by radio
problems.
• Release cause
› UE_RESYNC_TIMEROUT_REL_CAUSE (Radio Connection With UE Lost displayed in the S1 tracing result): indicates a L2-report release caused by resynchronization
after timeout of the resynchronization timer following the out-of-synchronization.
› UE_RLC_UNRESTORE_IND (Radio resources not available displayed in the S1 tracing result): indicates the L2-reported RLC unrestore indication that is sent after the
maximum number of RLC retransmissions reaches.
› UE_RESYNC_DATA_IND_REL_CAUSE (Unspecified displayed in the S1 tracing result): indicates a L2-reported release caused by data-triggered resynchronization
after the out-of-synchronization.
• Cause analysis
› From the last four 512-ms messages of DRB scheduling information to the last 16 64-ms messages of DRB scheduling information, abnormal releases are caused by
faults similar to suddenly stopped data transmission in most cases. Possibly, the SIM card is removed or the UE is faulty. The following figure shows information
recorded in the CHR.
