Pilot Pollution
Cell pilot signals received at a test point have no difference in
signal strength (either strong or weak), but no dominant pilot is
received.
The symptom is that the received pilot power is good but Ec/Io
of each cell is weak.
At present, most WCDMA equiment supports up to three active
sets. If the number of similar Ec/Io values of different cells is
more than three, it can be regarded as a kind interference
towards three radio links in the active sets.
The causes of signal distortion include, overshooting of sites at
higher places, ring deployment, streect effect, strong reflectors,
and so on.
Pilot pollution algorithm
Algorithm1: Ec/Io > Ec/Io_for_BestServingCell - the number
When a mobile is in the idle and FACH state, the mobile reads
the neighbor cell information from system messages, and
measures these neighbor cells when conditions are met. If a
neighbor cell fails to be set, cell re-selection cannot be
complete timely which further cause call establishment failure.
When the mobile is in the DCH state, RNC sends out neighbor
cell information through measurement control command to ask
the mobile to measure all neighbor cells where handover may
occur. In this case, if a neighbor cell fails to be set, handover
failures may occur and further cause call drops.
Neighbor Cells without Configuration
Compare Ec/Io results obtained by the mobile and that obtained by Scanner to see whether a
cell is set or not
Ec/Io results obtained by UE are poor while that obtained by Scanner are good.
Scanner recorded that Best Server scramble did not appear in the Measurement
control signaling sent out by RNC.
Neighbor Cells without Configuration
Judge whether a cell is set or not via the active set and monitor set measured by the mobile
There are cells whose signal is strong in the monitor set, but they are
not added to the active set.
Unreasonable Handover Area
Typical handover process: measure control - > measure report - >
handover dicision - > handover implementation - > new
measurement control.
Unreasonable handover area may cause that signals jitter to fast and
have not enough time to complete handover which further causes call
drops.

whether a cell is set or not

Locating Area Where Call Drop Occurs
Use Marker Setting to locate the area
Select calling events like RRC Connect Fail, Call Drop, RB setup Failure.
Then the system displays the area where call drop occurs in the Map window.

505
Problem: some Ec/Io in the red circle is poor below -10dB, RSCP is normal around -85dBm
Optimization Plan
The red circle area, which is in the middle of several NodeBs, has no primary server cell for
coverage. In order to improve Ec/Io, it is necessary to select a cell, SC505 in the case, as primary
server cell.
Optimization result: The primary server cell is more outstanding, and Ec/Io is improved
obviously.
Problem: low HSDPA download rate

Problem: The red circle area, active set has three cells Ec/Io all below -10dB, RSCP is around
-85dBm, causing HSDPA download rate lower than 1Mbps.
Optimization Plan
The main idea is to make primary server cell outstanding. After analysis on the basis of field
environment, consider SC18 to cover the red circle area. And decrease the effect of SC20 and
SC13, making them not cover the area.
Change antenna direction of SC18 from 90 to 75 degree.
Change antenna direction of SC20 from 330 to 300 degree.
Change antenna downtilt of SC20 two degree more.
Change antenna direction of SC13 from 180 to 200 degree.

Optimization result: primary server cell S18 is outstanding. Ec/Io is improved obviously and
HSDPA download rate increase to normal above 2Mbps.
Optimization Issues
The hill blocking signal causes call drop
Overshooting at Sofitel Beach
No Throughput Round SWHT Site for R99 Ftp
Download
Issue1: The hill block signal cause call drop
Problem: The signal of this is area quite poor because the mountain blocked signal from
site, SC27 cell RSCP<-95dBm, if UE lock in 3G and can not handover to 2G, it will cause
call drop in the back of the mountain.
Optimization Plan
Change 2d event threshold (compress mode) of SC27 cell from -95dBm to -92dBm.
Change 3a event threshold (inter-RAT handover) of SC27 from -95dBm to -92dBm.
Change 3a time to trigger of SC27 from 100ms to 80ms.
Purpose: Let UE handover to 2G more faster in order to avoid call drop.

Problem: There are overshooting signal of SC11(KHTK1) and SC17(HNSS2) in the Sofitel
Beach. Distances to sites are over warn distance, customer can not share 3G service,
including CS and PS.
Optimization Plan
20
Optimization result: SC20(SWHT2) is primary service cell at mostly area in the beach. Though
signals of SC 17(SNSS2) and SC11(KHTK1) still exist in the beach, all service (CS and PS) are
normal.
Issue3:No throughput Round SWHT Site for
R99 Ftp Download
Problem: Signal quality of SC28(SWHT3) is better than signal quality of SC12(SWHT1), but UE
can not report 1A event, SC28 cell can not update to active set , so result in R99 throughput is low.
Optimization plan: First step check whether NodeB has alarm , the second check RNC
parameter about intra and find that intra parameters set isn’t correct set, so change back to
correct parameters set and resolve problem.
After Optimization
Optimization result: SC28(SWHT3) can be added into active set, soft handover is success and
R99 throughput is normal.
