1 Problem Description
The Data CDR suddenly increased a lot on PHRH1 and PHRH3 after 3GIS
activation based on PHRH1 and PHRH3. The red line in the below two charts is the 3GIS
activation date, we can see that the Data CDR of the two RNC increased a lot after 3GIS
activation.
2 Analysis
Through analyzed PCHR data of the two RNC by NPMASTER, we found the main
cause of the PS dropped call is due to RB_RECFG (H2F), it took up a large proportion in
the all PS dropped call reason. And also we found the HSDPA_H2F_Failure increased a
lot after 3GIS activation on the two RNC. And the FACH User Number of the two RNC
increased at the same time as below.
Subject PHRH1 PHRH3
Count Percentage Count Percentage
PS Call Drop SUM 138803 100.00% 29528 100.00%
PS Call Drop 40729 29.34% 9561 32.38%
RB_CFG(H2F)
From above chart, we can see the FACH users increased a lot after 3GIS activation. It
will make the FACH congestion much worse than before, and the H2F failure also will
increase with the FACH congestion. And we got the above result from the KPI analysis.
To improve the Data call drop rate, we choice 5 top cell of H2F Failure from every
RNC. All the 10 cells have FACH congestion and belong to U850A carrier, and we found
the FACH users number on U850B cells is much less than the number on U850A cell of
the same sector. From the parameters of cell reselection we found some difference
between U850A cells and U850B cells. All the difference will make the users can’t
resident on U850B cells when they are not in HSPA.

To share in the FACH users on U850A and U850B carrier, we modify the reselection
parameters of U850B to match U850A cells. after modification, FACH congestion relieved
a little and the Data call drop rate decreased.
3 Solution
1. To share in the FACH users between U850A and U850B cells on whole
RNC
4 Suggestion
FACH congestion will be serious with the traffic load, and lots of KPIs will be affected
accordingly, some optimization solutions to solve FACH congestion should be adopted.
