Call Setup Failure Analysis
UE has the appropriate DL/UL coverage but if RNC does not allow to set
up the RRC connection of the requested RAB (Radio Access Bearer),
Call setup will fail.
Admission Control (AC) is involved in RRC connection setup. AC can
reject RRC reject RRC connection Setup due the DL Load, UL load or
DL Spreading codes

Call Setup Failure Analysis

Call Setup Failure Analysis
To check if Layer 1 Synchronization
(slot/frame sync) has failed
If RRC Connection Setup was received by UE but UE does not send
RRC Connection Setup Completed, we will report L1
synchronization failure and have to check L1 system messages.

A subset of RRC_CONN_FAIL_TRANS which include ERQ/ECF fail due to some reason such as DMPG
problem in RNC + ERQ/ECF fail due to transport resource needed in RNC between RNC/MGW
RRC_CONN_ACC_FAIL_RADIO
Dominant failure causes due to wrong UL or DL coverage
UL Coverage -> Check if cell is affected by an external interference (Thermal Noise measurements).
DL Coverage -> Tune SCCPCH Power if UE does not receive the RRC Setup Message
-> If UE does not synchronize, reduce N312 from 2 to 1 (depends on UE model) or tune CPICHToRefRABOffset
vs.
Qqualmin (or Qrxlevmin)
RRC_CONN_ACC_FAIL_MS
UL Coverage -> Tune Cell Dominance (or CPICH) in order to balance UL and DL (if UL interference if not the cause).
