[Problem Description]

ERAB Drop and Intra Frequency Success Rate degraded due to overshooting and
signal Fluctuation from water.

1. E-RAB drop increased due to Uplink coverage and observed more uplink
Interfernce also.

[Analysis]

1. All E-RAB drop was happening because of poor Radio and peg in
L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.Radio counter

2. All E-RAB drop was happening because of poor Radio condition and peg in
L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.Radio counter.

[Root Cause]

1. Signal Reflection from water is main cause of E-RAB drop and Poor Intrafreq
HO Success Rate degradation.
2. It observed that maximum no. of HO Failures with target cells due to signals
fluctuation of target and source cell.

 3. Also Intrafrequency HO success rate was degraded due to Ping-pong
Handover between source cell (RAB-1299_L-3) to target cells
(RAB-1526_L-3).

4. After site visit it observed that the Antenna Height of source cell is 50 meter
that’s why this signal is overshooting at large distance

[Solution]

1. To control the E-RAB drop and improve the Intra Frequency HO Success Rate
I have changed the CIO from 0 to -4 db with target cell to avoid the
Ping-pong Handover between source cell (RAB-1301_L-3) to target cells
(RAB-1526_L-3).

After changes the Cell Individual offset (CIO) from 0 to -8 the E-RAB has been
improved now. Below is the KPI Trend for your ref.

Cell Individual offset (CIO) from 0 to -8: Below is the mml command to changed the
CIO.

Parameter description:

Indicates the cell individual offset for the intra-frequency neighboring cell,
Meaning
which is used in evaluation for handovers. It affects the probability of
triggering intra-frequency measurement reports. A larger value of this
parameter indicates a higher probability.
