Radio access success rate = RRC establishment success rate RAB establishment success rate This formula indicates that RRC establishment rate and RAB establishment rate need to be considered in the background statistics. RRC establishment success rate = Number of successful RRC connection setup times of each cell / Number of RRC connection request times of each cell 100 Note: related with services (RRC connection) RAB establishment success rate = Number of successful RAB establishment times / Number of RAB establishment attempts 100% RAB establishment success rate is categorized by service.
Access Success Rate Analysis Process
Access Failure Caused by RAB Establishment Failure
There are two restraints in RAB establishment process. One is RB establishment which is the UE configuration process (usually no problems occur in this process); and the other is radio link re-configuration process in which NodeB links are configured. Failures often occur in the latter process. The usual causes for these failures include radio link re-configuration preparation failure (it occurs when problems occur in NodeB resources.), and radio link re-configuration cancellation (it occurs when problems occur in RNC internal resources or process). Another factor may also cause RAB failures, that is, when the load of a cell is relatively heavy, RNC sends out a reject command via admission control.
Call Drop Optimization
Handover Success Rate Optimization
Factors affecting handover success rate
Handover area is too small, so that UEs have not enough time to complete handover. Handover parameters are wrongly set, so that neighbor cells cannot be added or deleted timely, or causing ping-pong handover. Neighbor cells are not configured. This may cause damage to the network, not only directly causing call drop, but also brings extra interference towards the network.

Resource KPI monitor
One reason for resource limitation is number of 3G user increase, and operator changing fee decrease also lead to the increase of average erlang. The other reason is the strategy for design is focus on user feeling and KPI but not system capacity. For example HK user average Erl could be up to 0.5E.
Single user erlang could be 0.45erl on BH

Because high load cell often be with high admission failure, normally we should fast downgrade to release radio resource ASAP. Avoid handover user could not handover in the cell then call dropped.(this action is only take effect in cell with much more PS users, if all users in the cell is in CS service. It will not take effect).

Through decrease DL Eb/No could lead to reduced congestion. While we need detailed evaluation to avoid some other bad effect. Table showed record for the modification, and can be consider as the reference. ZTE engineering experience showed downgrade Eb/No for 13.6K signaling channel could reduce TCP limitation effectively, while the performance of access will not be affect so much.

RTWP increasing is the most directly representation for UL limitation, while sometimes reason for RTWP increasing could be external interference. And its hard to eliminate this reason.

UL capacity monitor
UL Power control parameter modification. The quality of users will be down as a consequent of capacity increasing. Optimization will do trade-off between capacity and quality.

UL capacity monitor
Through UL power control parameter optimization we can improve RTWP increasing, but some cells will be in trouble for user increasing. And further modification to SIRtarget will affect subscriber feeling. For this case ZTE suggest to define another set of power control parameter which is special for these high load cells. The following table is comparison of parameters for special site and parameters for normal site.
SRVTYPE 0 104 28 50 54 ULINITSIR 3.5->1.5 4.0->2.0 3.5->1.5 6.0->2.0 6.0->2.0 ULMAXSIR 10.0->3.5 15.0->5.0 10.0->3.5 15.0->5.0 15.0->5.0 ULMINSIR 2.0->1.0 0.5->0 0.5->0 2.0->0 2.0->0
Code resource monitor
Through observing "Number of rejected services, DCH no code we could know cell is in code limitation. Also average code resource usage and HSDPA user number could be factor for determination and optimization. We could modify the code allocation to reduce code limitation. OcuRateNoHspdsch+OcuRateHspdsch+DpchCodeHy+32<=512 formula 1 OcuRateNoHspdsch+OcuRateHspdsch+CodeUptHyA>512 formula 2

OcuRateHspdsch is the number of code (SF=512) which is blocked by the code occupied by HS-PDSCH channel. OcuRateNoHspdsch is the number of code (SF=512) which is blocked by the code occupied by not HS-PDSCH channel. DpchCodeHy is the number of code (SF=512) reserved for DPCH channel. CodeUptHyA is the threshold to determine if we need decrease HS-PDSCH channel number.
When formula1 is fulfilled NO. of HS-PDSCH +1. When formula 2 is fulfilled NO. of HS-PDSCH -1.
Code resource monitor
To assure R99 user accessibility, the modification is apply.

Case 1: TCP Congestion at Victory Park
Background
Victory Park more than 100,000 People Gathering Time is 20:00 June 4th Performance deteriorate for site VPK at Victory Park Call Drop Rate Increase Site VPK Transmission Code Power Congestion
KPI Indication
Case 1:Call Drop Rate & Number is high in VPK
Case 1:VPK Radio Access Rate and Rejected Services by TCP limit
Case 2: Wrong LAC Configuration
After the configuration data check, we found that there are several cells with a wrong LAC configuration. We need KPI monitor tools to give us an evidence. Use SAY Site as an example:
Number of attempted RRC Establishment is more than 100,000 times while only around 6,000 times for services.
Case 3High Call Drop Rate Due To The NSN Sites Interference
Background
After the KPI monitoring, we found the drop rate around Convention and Exhibition Center is quite high.
After the drive test and KPI analysis, we found the reason is that the NSN LUR site F1 is still open. After the site is turned off on 12th May the call drop rate decreased.
Case 3High Call Drop Rate Due To The NSN Sites Interference
Case 4: High Call Drop Rate due to Power Alarm
Site CTW has very high call drop rate. After checking the Fault management Alarm, there are a lot of board reboots alarm. After checking the NodeB, the reason for this alarm is nonsufficient power supply due to GSM, UMTS and NSN BTS in very narrow space with a temporary power solution. Three times Node B is out of service(198083023) during 15:00 to 16:00 on June 11th.
Case 5: Iub E1/T1 Bandwidth Limitation
Background:
After 80% NSN UMTS users are cut into the network on may 11th, subscriber number increased a lot
KPI Indication:
Cell RAB establishment success rate decreased a lot.

Capacity related. After checking the related configuration, Iub interface E1/T1 bandwidth limitation is a key reason for the problem. Decrease some of the cells Pilot Channel Power Increase Iub interface bandwidth
Analysis

Solution:

Case 5: Iub E1/T1 Bandwidth Limitation
