Introduction to Optimization
1
Optimization aims at improving the network performance
and/or network capacity.
To improve the system initial performance
To enhance the subscriber satisfaction
To increase the number of subscribers
To cater varying traffic pattern & usage
Methods may differ for :
Pre-launch optimization (performed for acceptance, trials)
Post-launch monitoring and optimization (E2E performance for
in-service networks)

Pre-Launch Optimization
-No network load (limited traffic)
-Cluster optimization on drive test data
-High optimization gains
-OCNS (optional)
Post-Launch Optimization
-Significant network load (increasing)
-Optimization based on statistical data
(counters, traces)
-Optimization gain less, but baseline
performance higher
-Periodic route drive test

RNP - Design / Planning Assessment (Default)
Deliverables
Final report presenting all the agreed theoretical exclusion areas and detailed
acceptance protocol
Customer Benefits
Check of Customers RNP allows early adaptations if necessary
Clear and shared vision of future networks performances
Activities
In case Network Design & Planning is under Customers
responsibility,
assessment allows to :
-Refine targeted KPIs
-agree on detailed acceptance protocol (DT road definition, coverage holes exclusions)
-propose initial design improvements (e.g. antenna tilts, CPICH Power, SC Reuse Plan)
RNP - Radio Network Planning (Alternative)
Deliverables

3G Optimization vs. 2G Optimization
3G Optimization
Interference optimization
Key issue as only ONE frequency
Optimize adjacencies (3G,3G-2G)
Parameters optimization
Based on drive-tests measurements for the
moment. ( Pre-Launch Optimization)
2G Optimization
Interference optimization
Based on frequency plan
Optimize adjacencies (2G ONLY)
Parameters optimization
Based on statistic data (Metrica) & Drive
test
Optimization processes are similar to GSM experience
but to be slightly adapted to reflect 3G technical specificities
More attention on planning issue
Take into account 2G/3G interworking
Training Needed
UMTS fundamentals training
Optimization: On Job Training

The definition of the drive test road is a very import task and
should be done very carefully.

Recommendations:
Optimization routes are defined from primary
(e.g. highways) and secondary (e.g. Network
boulevards).The engineering team should
determine additional roads in traffic areas where
interference and soft handover are expected.
Depend of the Optimization phase:
For Cluster optimization = dense roads
For network optimization the road are less
dense but the area is bigger.
A route should adequately cover 4-6 hours
drive, depending on sites count.

Optimization Activities - Coverage
Coverage
Constraints:
A minimum RSCP level is required to maintain
and/or establish a call and a specific Service
-> is very important to understand the coverage
limitations and expectations of your network.
Optimization:
+Antenna Tilting
+Sector re-azimuth
+CPICH Power Optimisation
+Add new site in order to change the RSCP levels
allocation.
+Each individual sector should be dominant only on
his pre-defined area.
Definition: The CPICH RSCP (Received Signal Code Power) provides indication of the
availability of DL Pilot Channel, coverage, to meet services requirements.
Optimization Activities - Quality
Quality
Definition:
The network radio quality indicator is the CPICH Ec/Io.
This indicator provides a clear vision of the level
of interference created by other cells over the
most likely server, in a certain area.
Constraints:
If a certain CPICH Ec/Io is not meet the UE will not
be able to communicate with the BS, not being able
to establish a call and possibly dropping it if already
connected.
A bad CPICH Ec/Io will correspond to a bad UE
Ec/No which is used to evaluate and execute
HO events and Active Set updates, indispensable
to maintain a connection.
Optimization:
The optimization action applied are the same as for
the coverage.
Optimization Activities - Pilot Pollution
Scanner/Mobile analysis
Mobile analysis confirm:
The RF coverage for each cell inside the cluster
Insure the power settings
Neighbour list tuning.
No dominant server => Pilot pollution / wastage of radio resource
Coverage and Quality
EcIo GOOD EcIo BAD
RSCP GOOD OK
Interference
Insuffisant Overlap
RSCP BAD Coverage Problem Coverage Problem
Optimization Activities - Neighbour Cell
Neighbour List (3G-3G; 3G-2G)
Definition: In order to perform the mobile measure:
EcIo of the neighbor cells for SHO
EcIo or RSCP (parameter) of the neighbor cells for HHO
Constraints:
The Uu not check cells that are not declared in the neighboring list even if it is the best cell.
Unwanted noise and the quality deteriorated.
Initial declaration:
Automatic With the planning tool
Manual: Mapinfo (macro) and/or with 2G counters statistic NPO (HO request)
Optimization:
Automatic: Post processing tool queries. Be careful only based on the drive test samples.
Manual: Compares both scanner and mobile maps. Mobile CPICH EcIo or RSCP and Scanner
CPICH EcIo or RSCP.( If the correct cell is not used in HO, the mobile will be degraded comparing
to scanner. )
Optimization Activities Failure Events
Drop Calls/ Calls setup fail
Definition:
Those events are a reaction of the UE, or of the RNC, to a certain problem.
A Drop can be due to RADIO,UTRAN or CN problem (SYSTEM)
Optimization:
All the previous slides explained the causes
The of problem lead to those events, so its
imperative to control them.
+You should know the story of the call
+Ask you question:
What are the events before the drop?
Coverage?
Quality?
AS count?
Compress mode?
