Kana Mori Sector 2 was not

working due to high VSWR that
is 2.01.
Problem was detect on Sector 2
Antenna B tower jumper.
Kanna Mori Sector 1 face was
towards a hill hence causing a
reflected signal problem.
Adjacent sites have same
BCCH that is ARFCN 9 on Bagh
City BTS and Kanna Mori BTS.

Current Site Configuration is

S2/2 which is not sufficient so
TRX expansion is recommended
(S3/3).
New Antenna Jumper has been
installed current value of VSWR
is 1.30

Antenna Azimuth is changed

from 135 to 140 degree.
Kana Mori BCCH ARFCN 9 on
sector 2 is replaced with ARFCN
3.

Ideally 1800MHz band
Should be used instead of

1800Mhz DDPU and

to implement a better

Failure, Call
Drop and Call
dragging

Traffic Load
Capacity Sites are created by using
900MHz band instead of 1800MHz.
Sites are two close to each other thus
causing interference.
Due to limited frequency Band Overall
noise floor has increased which is
degrading Voice Quality.
Short and Single MA List gives less
hopping gain and causing interference.
More than three adjacent sites were
running on same HSN.
(Plangi, Budhal Sharif and Loe Dandi)
No Hopping at Plangi Sector 3
Due to high congestion when at cell
boundary MS try to Handover call
dragging happens because no traffic
channel is available free to transfer call.
Which results poor Rx Quality because of
low Rx level and later on call drop.
No Site between Plangi and Renkri.

Sites
installation
without using
any
Simulation
Planning Tool

Electrical Tilt feature is not available in

existing antennas. So coverage in vertical
domain cannot be shrink.
All sites are installed without using any
Simulation Tool (Antenna Height, Antenna
Type, Azimuths, Tilts, and Power Budget).
Its so difficult to understand Radio
Frequency random behavior without using
and Simulation tool.
Because of this Main Loops are interfering
with each other which cause frequent
Handovers and Bad Rx Qual.
Exiting tool Mentum Planet and Clutter
files are outdated and prone to
inaccuracy.

Hopping implemented.
Site Up gradation or
Expansion

A new site is required to fill

the coverage holes between
Plangi and Renkri.
New Neighbor Definitions
Plan have been
implemented.

System need to be
upgraded.
New Updated Simulation
Tool should be purchased or
at least Huawei RF Team
help should be taken in
order to re-plan Renkari,
Kalsan and Loe Dandi.
Re-planning may reduce
Revenue because high call
drop rate gives high
revenue but at the same
time poor user experience.

Roaming
Issue

Outdoor coverage of Dhamni BTS is

very well but indoor coverage in
Rawalakot 429 Company Old
building is very poor that is around
-90dbm to -100dbm due to building
construction material and thick
walls.
Although indoor coverage in new
building is good that is around
-80dbm to -85dbm.
Ufone and Zong site are very close
to Rawalakot 429 company that is
approximately within 100 meters.
Due to low signal level in Rawalakot
429 company old building all users
are on Roaming due to high signal
strength of Ufone and Zong.

Indoor signal booster, Amplifier

or repeater is recommended.
