Cell Status Confirmation
Before checking site, you need to inquiry product support
engineers whether the cell is in normal status
Testing Route Selection
Before test, you must select a proper testing route according to
site distribution and local environment
Precautions

Once all the sites are installed and verification is complete, RF
optimization starts.
During the RF optimization stage, you will optimize radio
frequency (RF) signals , so that the distribution of radio signals is
normal in next service -- parameters optimization stage

Index Reference Remarks
CPCH Ec/o < 9dB
< 97% in urban area
According to test result from the scanner, in
unloaded and outdoor conditions, in planning
coverage areas, test in a grid-like route to cover all
cells.
< 97% in suburban
area
CPCH RSCP <
95dBm
< 98% in urban area
According to test result from the scanner, in
unloaded and outdoor conditions, in planning
coverage areas, test in a grid-like route to cover all
cells. The coverage level request is basic. f
operators have penetration loss request, add the
penetration loss to the coverage level.
< 95% in suburban
area
SHO Factor based on
DT
30%40%
The SHO Factor based on DT should be 5% to
10% lower than the goal, because the following
optimizations cause the soft handover factor to
increase
Pilot pollution ratio > 5%
RF Optimization - Targets
Dividing Clusters
RF optimization must be performed on a group of or a cluster
of NodeBs ,This ensures that interference from intra-frequency
neighbor cells are considered during optimization.
Dividing clusters involves approval by the operator.
Deciding Test Route
The KP DT acceptance route is the core route of RF
optimization test routes. ts optimization is the core of RF
optimization.

RF Optimization - Data Collection
During RF optimization stage, the key is the optimization of radio
signals distribution, with the major means of DT and indoor test
DT is a major test. Collect scanner and UE data of radio signals
by DT test
Usually the DT and indoor test during RF optimization stage is
based on VP service.
During RF optimization stage, collect neighbor cell data of network

RF Optimization
Attention:
During the RF optimization ,sometimes the problems can be
resolved completely by proper adjustment, but there is also
some disadvantages of the RF optimization
The duration of the RF Optimization will be always very long
Some adjustment is difficult to implement
f the problems are not resolved by the RF optimization, it is
difficult to recover the antennas back to the former
conditions

Before the RF adjusting, we'd better survey the relative sites,
and give some applicable advice
f possible, do the RF adjustment and test the effect at the
same time

coverage of large areas for further analysis

standards.
Assume the optimization indexes of UE transmit power as below:
UE_Tx_Power> 10 dBm >= 95%
The test result of voice service by
test handset. Assume the maximum
transmit power of UE is 21 dBm
The defined corresponding quality standards are:
Good if UE_Tx_Power > 0 dBm
Fair if 0 dBm < UE_Tx_Power > 10 dBm
Poor if UE_Tx_Power > 10 dBm

Process for Analyzing Pilot Pollution
Analyze scanner-based RSCP for 1st Best Service Cell and

and that need enhancing the coverage of an area
Retest after adjustment
Solutions of Pilot Pollution :
Antenna Adjustment
PCPCH Power Adjustment
Using RRU or Micro Cells
Handover Problem Analysis
By adjusting RF parameters ,we can Control the size and location
of handover areas ,then we can eliminate handover call drop due
to sharp fluctuation and increase handover success rate.
During RF optimization stage, the involved handover problem
include:
Neighbor cell optimization
Handover Problem Analysis -
Neighbor cell optimization
During RF optimization stage, missing neighbor cell is a key problem. The
neighbor cell optimization includes adding and removing neighbor cells
Add: Missing neighbors
Remove: These neighbors that were not measured but are in the neighbor list.
CarefuI consideration is needed prior to removing neighbours
Neighbor cell optimization can be analyzed by :
Scanner Data
UE Data Analysis
Handover Problem Analysis Handover Problem Analysis - - Neighbor Neighbor
cell optimization cell optimization
By the scanner data, the Assistant can generate a neighbor cell
analysis report in the format of Excel
Handover Problem Analysis - Neighbor
cell optimization
We can also analyze a missing neighbor cell by UE DT data
The daemon analysis tool can seldom analyze UE data
automatically and generate missing neighbor cells
but we can Compare the active set Ec/o distribution
diagram measured by UE and that measured by scanner
The spots with missing neighbor cells has a poor Ec/o
measured by UE and a strong Ec/o scanned by scanner .
