WORK EXPERIENCE
Since Abril-2009 RNO Engineer at ATM Mobilis (ZTE/Huawei/Ericsson)

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

 GSM: Since Abril-2009

- Maintain the contractual KPIs over the assigned areas; KPIs
include Accessibility, Continuity, and Integrity.
- Daily KPIs monitoring and analysis over ZTE and Huawei vendor
(RASR, HOSR, SDSR, TCH drop, SDCCH drop, TCH congestion etc)
by mean of parameter tuning and site configuration tuning
(Antenna tilting, azimuth, frequency).
- WCDMA/HSPA Radio Network performance daily monitoring (RRC
success rate, RAB Est Success, CS & PS CDR, Hs Drop, IRAT, HS
Throughput…).
- Improving KPIs Edge & GPRS (TBF establishment success rate DL
&UL, TBF drop DL & UL, TBF abnormal release rate, PDCH
Allocation Failure Rate, DL Radio Link Bit Rate, Traffic Volume).
- Contributing to Mobilis 2G ZTE/ZTE swap
- 2G KPI Monitoring on daily basis via Worst Cell Analysis
- 2G Parameter Trials & Tuning
- Cluster Optimization & Recommendations for 2G Call Drops, BQI ,
TCH Congestion
- Post processing of Drive test logs and solve any problem
observed.
- Customer Complains handling
- Network analysis to identify major problems resulting in overall
network KPIs degradation
- Detecting and solving quality related issues to improve the
performance of the given geographical area.
- Issuing capacity upgrade requests whenever needed (TRX
Activation, E1 splitting, recommending DCS Expansion and new
sites planning)
- Performing the drive test analysis and taking the necessary action
- Performing Radio features optimization trials for the following
main radio parameters:
- AMR Activation
- Concentric cells implementation
- HOPPING Activation
- Preparing basic and advanced types of technical and
management performance and optimization reports and
presentations, participated in all the Knowledge sharing sessions
held by Optimization department in order to enhance and share
team knowledge and experience.

 WCDMA: since September 2015

- WCDMA/HSPA Radio Network performance daily monitoring
(RRC success rate, RAB Est Success, CS & PS CDR, Hs Drop, IRAT,
SHO, HHO and HS Throughput…).
- Drive test analysis for Area / Major Roads regular drive test and
taking a corrective action for the findings (Dropped/Blocked calls,
IRAT/SHO Failures, and Pilot Pollution…)
- Tune the network parameters to improve the network
accessibility, improve retainability & the user throughput (R99,
HSDPA & HSUPA).
- Analysis and troubleshooting using tracing tools.
- Capacity Monitoring: RB Blocking Rate, RL Set Up Blocking Rate,
RL Addition Blocking Rate, RL Reconfiguration Blocking Rate, RRC
Connection Rejection rate.

 LTE: since September 2016

- LTE Radio Network performance daily monitoring (RRC success
rate, ERAB Est Success, Erab Drop, IntraFHO, CSFB, RACH and
PDCP Throughput…).
- Drive test analysis for Area / Major Roads regular drive test and
taking a corrective.
- Tune the network parameters to improve the network
accessibility, improve retainability & the user throughput (PDCP
user throughput).

- Main Activities:

o Using Data configuration (Netnumen ZTE ,M2000 Huawei

and Citrix Ericsson) to monitor:
 Cell Handover data
 Inter cell relation
 Power control
 Cell Idle configuration

o Using Alarm supervision configuration (Netnumen

ZTE ,M2000 Huawei, Citrix Ericsson) to check several
 alarms
o BSC Data management system configuration (Netnumen
ZTE ,M2000 Huawei and Citrix Ericsson) to get the CDD
o Daily Monitoring BSC & Cell level (Netnumen ZTE, PRS
Huawei, BO Ericsson) and via the created M2000 reports
that include main KPI and troubleshooting counters
o Frequency & neighbor relations Tuning using OMStar
o Create the scripts for different types of Parameter tuning
using the MML Command (Huawei)
PROJECTS
