Orange GSM Network Coverage

is good but the quality is not so

GSM

good especially for Cocody &

Macory Area;

Orange UMTS Network coverage

is acceptable but the quality is
bad especially for Cocody &

Cocody Area

Plateau & Adjame

Adjame & Macory Area;

Macory & Airport

3G quality is so bad ,the main

root cause is pilot pollution.;

Huawei Recommendation

Frequency Re-Planning and Co-

BCCH Strategy tuning is

necessary for GSM Network;

RF optimization & Neighboring &

HO Strategy tuning is necessary
for UMTS Network;

Network KPI Summary

Network Call setup success rate is ok except GSM network in ABOBO
Area;
Network Call Drop Rate is not so good especial for UMTS network
and GSM Network in Macory & Plateau Area;
For Dual Model, Macory GSM call drop is abnormal;
Suggestion:
Macory BSC & RNC homing to which MGW should be audited;
RF tuning & Neighboring Optimization should be implemented for
UMTS Network, GSM Interference need to be optimized;

Events Root Cause:

1. From the root cause for events, we can see that network Interference is the main
issue for Orange Network;
2. Neighboring & Congestion issue need to be highlighted during daily optimization;

Suggestion & Actions:

1. Its better to implement Frequency Re-planning each quarter;
2. UMTS PSC & Neighboring optimization should be implement during daily work;
3. Parameters optimization can be tuning according to the different Scenario;

Driver Test Result Analysis & Actions--Converge

UMTS Converge & IRAT Ho Issue

Issues Description:
1. Call drop due to UMTS weak coverage also
without HO to Other Cells;
2. Before call drop UE already trigger the 2D
event, but no handover to 2G;

Suggestion & Actions:

1. RF Tuning should be implemented in this
area;
2. IRAT Neighbors need to be audited;
3. 2D/2F HO Parameters should be audited;

UMTS Call Drop

UMTS Converge & Soft Ho Issue

Issues Description:
1. Call drop due to UMTS weak coverage also
without HO to Other Cells;
2. From the Measurement report, we can see
that the are better 3G service cells Before call
drop;

UMTS Call Drop

Suggestion & Actions:

1. RF Tuning should be implemented in this
area;
2. UMTNS Neighbors need to be audited;
3. Intra-HO Parameters should be audited;

Driver Test Result Analysis & Actions--Quality

GSM Quality & Interference Issue

Issues Description:
1. Call drop due to GSM Network quality is very
bad;
2. Before call drop, the Single Quality is Level 7
due the frequency interference;

1. Frequency Re-Planning should be done In

this area;
2.Handware fault should be double check for
this service sites;

GSM Call Drop

GSM Quality & Interference Issue

Suggestion & Actions:

Issues Description:
1. Call Setup failure due to GSM network
quality issue;
2. From the Measurement result, we can see
that there are two cells with neighbor
Frequency as BCCH in the area;

GSM Setup Failure

Suggestion & Actions:

1. Frequency Re-Planning should be done In
this area;
2. RF Tuning should be implemented in this
area;

Driver Test Result Analysis & Actions--Events

GSM Call Drop without any Radio Issue

Released by Network

Issues Description:
1. Call Drop issue due to unreasonable
parameter setting;
2. Before call drop, the network coverage &
quality is very good;

GSM Call Drop

Suggestion & Actions:

1. Core & BSS & Transmission part should
deeply analysis for this fault;
2.Co-BCCH strategy should be optimized
during the Frequency Re-Planning;

Good coverage & Quality

GSM Call Drop Due to Parameter issue

Issues Description:
1. Call Drop issue due to unreasonable
parameter setting;
2. From the Measurement resultwireless
RLT setting is 16 ;

GSM Call Drop

Suggestion & Actions:

1. We suggest that RLT can be 24, in order to
guarantee Drop Call;
2. RF Tuning should be implemented in this
area; (Weak Coverage)

Orange Cooperation
In order to improve Orange Network Quality, we need support from Orange team, the details as

follow:
Provide Latest Engineering Parameters and Neighbor List for RF Optimization Deeply Analysis;
Support from Wireless part to Loop and troubleshoot For The Silence / Mute calls ;
Provide Wireless & Transmission Network Structure For Deeply Audit;
In Order To Make Audit For Relating Parameters and Timers, We need Orange CI Provide Relating Parameters &
Timers Setting Form Wireless Part;
Co-BCCH Strategy & Inter-HO Parameter Setting Strategy Can Be Discussed Together;
Frequency Re-planning Should Be Considered For The Noise Call Issue;
