Definition
A pilot pollution area is an area where an excessive number of
scrambling codes are received and lead to a degradation of
quality
In other words Pilot Pollution corresponds to DL interference
Practical condition:

2 ways:
1) Improve the Ec level of the best server
With either scanner or trace mobile data, this can be easily done
using the condition:
With a trace mobile, all SCs from the monitored set are
reported meaning that no missing neighbours shall remain
before analysing pilot pollution
Serving and interfering cells
One basic difficulty when tackling a pilot pollution area is to define
among all reported cell:
1) Which cells are the proper dedicated best servers of the area
Yet feedback from areas with a higher site density of than EN Bristol will be useful
Moreover interferences will arise quickly with load and can take a few months or
more to be optimised
>therefore pre-emptive actions are advised before the network gets
uncontrollable
