INTRODUCTION :
INTRODUCTION WHAT IS OPTIMIZATION?
_ It is a process through which soft(cell reselect,BTS power) and hard ( mechanical tilt, azimuth) parameters of the BTS are varied
WHY OPTIMIZATION?
_ In accuracy of radio planning
_ implementation
_ environment
_ Besides it monitors the key perfomance indicators(KPIs) in order to keep them in agreed
limits with the mobile operator
SOME KPIs ARE :
_ Paging success rate or call success rate
_ Call drop rate
_ Handover success rate
Slide 3:
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT :
_ Minimization of interference
_ Handover behavior improvement
_ Traffic distribution
MAJOR STEP IN OPTIMIZATION :
_ Drive testing and analysis
WHY DRIVE TESTING?
To measure the following such as
_ Coverage verification before and after changes
_ Locating and measuring interference
_ Locating areas where traffic problems exist
Slide 4:
DRIVE TEST EQUIPMENT CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING COMPONENETS
_ Test mobile phone
_ Scanning receiver
_ Transceiver system
_ Antennas
_ GPS
_ Visual display unit
_ Microphone
_ Loudspeaker box
_ Laptop computer
Slide 5:
DRIVE TESTING INVESTIGATES IN THESE AREAS:
_ Dropped calls
_ Equipment performance
_ Capacity problems
_ Faulty installations
AFTER THE DRIVE TEST
_ Post processing of data plotting Rx level and quality information for overall picture of the driven area
_ Analyzing network feature performance after new implementations
Slide 6:
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
_ If the optimization is successfully performed then the Quality of service, reliability and availability of RF coverage area will be highly improved resulting in more customers and more profits to the mobile telecom service providers
