The overall score of a neighboring cell is calculated by Ec/Io and the appearance

Neighboring cell is sorted in descending order of the overall score (X axis)
Missing neighboring cell: recommended priority <recommended number of
neighboring cells
Redundant neighboring cell: recommended priority >recommended number of

Nastar Optimization Case in Brunei

Background:

Brunei is covered with dense vegetation and has a large

population, which results in great difficulty in radio
coverage.

The investment is limited. The number of sites is

insufficient. With poor coverage, the network also
contains a great number of missing neighboring cells.
The call drop rate ranges from 2% to 3%, which is quite
high.

The operators in Brunei have little wireless network

operation experience. They are also lack of operation
and maintenance engineers.

After the Nastar is used:

The configuration of co-channel frequency neighboring

cells is checked to one hundred percent. Therefore, the
problem of missing neighboring cell configuration
solved.

The problem of high call drop rate is solved while the

coverage rate and coverage quality are ensured. All the
KPIs reach the requirements.

The entire optimization requires three engineers

working a day. Compared with the traditional
optimization method, the efficiency is improved 20
times.
