UTRAN (UMTS

CN (Core
Network)
User
Equipment (UE)
- It allows the user to access the to network .For the purpose the
interface between the UE and the network is the radio interface. The UE
consist of 1.Mobile Equipment(ME) 2.U-SIM)
UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access
Network)
- is a collective term for the network and equipment that connects
mobile handsets to the public telephone network or the Internet. It
contains the base stations, which are called Node Bs and Radio
Network Controllers (RNC) which make up the UMTS radio access
network.
Core Network
(CN)
- a telecommunication network's core part, which offers numerous
services to the customers who are interconnected by the access
network. Its key function is to direct telephone calls over the publicswitched telephone network. Sometimes other called the Backbone
of the network. And it is contains important elements which Circuit
Switched CS and Packet Switched PS (i.e. GPRS) domain.
The Core Network Contains important
Elements:
-Mobile Service Switching Center (MSC)
-Gateway Mobile Service Switching Center
(GMSC)
-Visitor Location Register (VLR)
-Home Location Register (HLR)
-Authentication Center (AuC)
-Equipment Identity Register(EIR)

Mapping of UE State
RRC Procedures
-Between the UE and the RNC ,the RRC protocol is used to exchange
signaling and control data to establish ,maintain, and release connections.
The UE gets informed about the radio bearer characteristics to the transport
channel configurations and the physical layer settings. With that the UE
knows how to receive and transmit data via WCDMA radio interface.

Loss of synchronization
There is a Loss
of
synchronization
between the
base station and
the UE.
UE is
continuously
trying to add
PRSJU32019 (SC
337) in its active
set (It is verified
that it is defined
as the neighbor
of
PRSJU32018( SC
312)).

HSDPA drop *
Multiple cell

messages sent
in uplink but
there is no cell
update confirm
message in
downlink.
Timers t314
and t315 expire
during Cell
update (uplink)
in the cell_FACH
state, hence
goes to idle
state.
HSDPA drop
HSDPA drop
occurred due to
temporary UE
issue.
There were
many RRC
Connection
setups in the DL
in between an
ongoing call.
It was in FACH
state for a long
time, so RRC
connection was
released.
EUL Drop
The EUL drop
is occurring in
good RF
conditions.
Validation of
drive is
required.
EUL DROP
Event is falsely
pegged by actix
as a EUL drop.
Here, a new
RRC connection
request is
detected as a
drop by Actix as
previous RRC
connection was
not released.
RRC
connection
request is for
an interactive
call to continue
the FTP file
transfer session
of the previous
EUL call.
Eul drop
Analysis:
Temporary network
issue.
There is a paging type
2 message for
terminating the
background call during
the current ongoing call
which was responded to
by UE.

Pointers
Pointers:
Always mark your own site for which analysis is being performed.
Legends for RSCP & EcIo are common for all markets. Please do a small check if your legends
match the usual scale & colors.
Individual RSCP Plot for tilt recommendations is compulsory. And circle the SC which needs
the tilt in the plot.
Issues in cellref will always be present since it relies on RNDCIQ. But please be prepared to
correct the CellRef according to
1.Previous market report.
2. Scanner SC plot requirements.
3. Showing different SC sectors.
4. Multiple carriers with different SC.
Arrange drops of all the UEs (especially MOC & MTC) in similar fashion ( clockwise or
counterclockwise) so that it easy to correspond the location of the drops.
EUL(Enhanced Uplink) Throughput (as has been mentioned multiple times ) should be
RLC_AM_Thput_3 and for TEMS log files - HSUPA Throughput.
If there are several sites off-air in your UARFCN, show a slide just after summary slide
showing the same.
Google Earth view should have line of sight, terrain height of site location, terrain height of
drop location.
Missing messages need not be mentioned unless that is the only observation in your event.
IN poor RF cases, you might not receive messages due to high path loss on the DL. So the
problem is poor RF, not missing messages (IN short, dont overuse it).
Pointers
Analysis of MOC & MTC events :
As much as possible, try to analyze in parallel, having both MOC & MTC stack browsers.
(TEMS logfiles might have time offset between MOC & MTC) .
With CC Disconnect messages show the Cause in your snapshot.
While giving tilts observe the impact of your recommendation Which is the most suitable of many candidates to tilt?
Is this Pollution because of main lobe, side lobe or reflection ? Will tilt recommendation
remove reflection ? For side lobe, should I recommend E or Mech tilt ? Where should I get the
tilt information from?
If tilts won't help, are there other options (HOtype ,e2d changes, CPICH power etc)
Inferring from Plots/ GnG Report:
This REALLY can save you lot of time , to identify & focus on major issue-areas and for better
grouping. This is the area where you need to improve for growing into RF engineers and not
just SSV engineers.
ALWAYS send the GnG report to the core as soon as you create the repository. They might
catch stuff that needs analysis that you may miss.
Grouping events:
Group wisely and precisely. If the reasons are similar especially Poor RF cases) but if they fall
in different locations, then you might have different recommendations, so group accordingly.
But use this for the remaining devices. Identify the number of UNIQUE events (events that
cannot be reused from a previous device analysis) and plan you time accordingly.
