Important:
Orange Optimization team have been working in the region for the 2G network, the coverage
might be different if the target sites were modified during the operations by Orange, specially for
the sites which use Co-antenna type (2G & 3G together), like as TamataveAgence Site or
Anjoma Site.
During the Single Site Verification process, it was seen that some of the engineering
parameters on the sites were not according to the data provided by Orange during the
implementation phase.
Below is the actual parameters on Site, the differences are highlighted in RED.

Above comparison indicates an improvement in both the signal level and signal quality for the focus
region.
Signal level better than -95dBm improved from 95.4% of the area to 96.6%.
Signal quality better than -12dB has increased from 89.5% to 93.1%.

By increasing the overall signal level and quality, the network quality for HSPA services has
improved greatly. Throughput levels above 2 Mbps have increased by about 5% and for
throughput above 1Mbps the service area has increased by about 13%.
3.3.2 Case 2:
HSDPA service was interrupted because of poor dominance of the serving cell along the road,
indicated by B in figures 3-2 & 3-3, leading to frequent Handovers.
Solutions: Change antenna azimuth of U_Verrerie_1 & decrease the antenna Downtilt of
U_Anjoma_3 to improve the dominance along the main road
3.3.3 Case 3:
st
HSDPA service was interrupted because of missing 1 Best Signal level in Active Set along the way,
indicated by C in figures 3-2 & 3-3.
Solutions: - Change antenna azimuth of U_Verrerie_2 & decrease the antenna Downtilt of
U_Anjoma_2 to perform the signal level along the main road.
-
3.3.4 Case 4:
To have a good continuous coverage in the city, better to decrease the antenna Downtilt of
U_Anjoma_3.
2009-09-10
Page17 of 22
3.3.5 Case 5:
Ping pong Handover effect due to missing of a dominant SC in the region, indicated by E in figure
3-2.
It may affect the DL throughput on the region (especially around the Terminal Container Port &
Sherrit Administrative Base).
Solutions: - Change antenna azimuth of U_Ampasimazava_1 as way, the second lobe of this
antenna can cover the target region.

Network signal quality is
very good; in such a case
the best is to measure the

5.2 Recommendations
For a better service delivery, a timely communication of any ongoing optimizations and changes
performed on the network would be very helpful to enhance the service quality.
As the network expands and the load increases, a close monitoring of the network KPI and
adequate parameter tuning must be undertaken to ensure no over utilization of system
resources and a good network quality.
For smooth operations on the RF systems during optimizations phases, the RRU must not be
installed to prevent movement of the antenna for any azimuth changes or mechanical tilting.
The picture below shows an example the RRU blocking the antenna.
