COUNTERS

Preparation Success Execution Success

• Intra and Inter LTE Handover Preparation • Intra and Inter LTE Handover Preparation

 FORMULAS

NCELL COUNTERS TO IDENTIFY TOP CELLS

➢ L.HHO.NCell.PrepAttOut, L.HHO.NCell.ExecAttOut, L.HHO.NCell.ExecSuccOut.
➢ There are many subcounters in Ncell and Outgoing KPI where it can be identified the main cause of Handover
Failure.

Remarks:
➢ Make Sure in Same MME X2 Handovers are more than S1. in case of X2 Faulty S1 should route for that Link.
➢ Different MME should have Core definition in MME for S1 Handover to work properly.
➢ Same Enodeb Does not require External definition of neighbors for Co-located Intra and Inter Neighbors
 PREPARATION OUTGOING FAIL REASONS
➢ TNL in Neighbor site will result in Sudden increase of prep att from Normal.
➢ Configuration issue like PCI,TAC Wrongly defined.
➢ Core definition missing in S1 of inter mme sites.
➢ X2 Faulty link.
➢ S1 Faulty link.

IDENTIFICATION FROM SUBCOUNTERS AND COMMANDS

➢ L.E-RAB.FailEst.TNL and L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.TNL in Neighbor sites will cause high prep att and less exec Att.
➢ Manual definition in External and Intra and Interfreq NCELL Wrong PCI,TAC defined.
➢ DSP X2INTERFACE AND DSP S1 INTERFACE will Show Normal or Faulty Links. LST GLOBALPROCSWITCH FOR X2/S1
definition.
 EXECUTION OUTGOING FAIL REASONS
➢ Neighbors and Interfreq missing.
➢ MOD3,Poor RF, Interference.
➢ High congestion in NEIGHBOR SITE.
➢ ANR disabled and not defined manually neighbors.
➢ Coverage Switch missing.
➢ Service affecting alarms/HIGH VSWR in neighbor sites.

IDENTIFICATION FROM SUBCOUNTERS AND COMMANDS

➢ Interfreq Missing or Interfreq not defined at all. LST EUTRANINTERNFREQ
➢ ANR disabled or Neighbors Missing. LST EUTRANINTERNFREQ,LST EUTRANEXTERNALCELL,LST EUTRANINTRAFREQNCELL
AND LST EUTRANINTERFREQNCELL,LST ENODEALGOSWITCH FOR ANR Switches
➢ Service affecting alarms/HIGH VSWR in neighbor sites: LST ALMAF,DSP CELL,DSP VSWR.
➢ Coverage Switch missing. LST ENODEBALGOSWITCH For Intra Freq Coverage and LST CELLHOPARACFG For Inter Freq
Coverage.
➢ High congestion in NEIGHBOR SITE. L.HHO.NCell.ExecSuccOut.Load. More Fails in Exec Success due to load.
➢ MOD3,Poor RF, Interference. L.HHO.NCell.ExecSUCCOut.Coverage is less than L.HHO.NCell.ExecAttOut.Coverage,TA
Samples more than Inter Site distance for interference. Neighbor Cell PCI for MOD3,Conflict and Confusion.
SOME PARAMETERS FOR HANDOVER FAIL EXECUTION IMPROVEMENT.
MOD3,Poor RF, Interference.

➢ T304,T311,T301,MaxThreshold DRB Enodeb and UE

➢ For Synout Condition with no dominant Server T310,N310,MaxThreshold SRB Enodeb and UE.
➢ A1,A2,OFFSET,Hysteresis,A3 Offset,CIO depending on Scenarios for Intra and Inter Freq Threshold.
➢ RSRP to RSRQ Trigger mode change in High Interference cases.
➢ Physical Optimisation, Ping Pong Feature Activation.
➢ HoRaSwitch and UnsyncRaSwitch to be enabled.

High Load.

➢ CIO and Offset Parameters for both Intra and Inter Freq.
➢ HOAdminSwitch to be off in CellMLBHO for FDD.
➢ A1,A2,OFFSET,Hysteresis,A3 Offset,CIO depending on Scenarios for Intra and Inter Freq Threshold.
➢ MLB Parameters.
