2.1
Vodafone Analysis
Schemas Premium Services team utilized the Mentor solutions advanced analysis capabilities to
uncover hidden problems in the network, based on usage and performance data collected from the
network.
Schemas proprietary geo-location technology transforms network call event data into maps that plot
Traffic, Ec/Io, Drops, Handovers, and other data for each location. Individual drop calls can be specifically
mapped and analyzed, and filtered on the basis of IMSI/IMEI, RAB type or drop reasons. It is also possible
to generate Excel reports, graphical layers, and maps using this information.
Analysis can be done per sector, site, group of sites, and cluster level - per time and date range resolution.
The powerful underlying data model enables analysis results in seconds.
These analysis capabilities, coupled with Mentors GeoMapping capabilities, deliver a visually intuitive
display of problems according to geography and other attributes.
The Drop Call Analysis Report pack includes all information relevant to analyzing network drop-rate
behavior, including a report showing the drop rate per sector, graphical maps showing the physical
location of drop hotspots, analysis of high contributing sectors, and analysis of drop reasons.
The following image shows an example of a drop call map. Each drop is geo-located and includes all
information about IMSI, IMEI, RAB, RF conditions, Neighbors, Active set etc. This example shows speech
drops due to poor RF conditions for cell YENHAL07841T-311074. Two cells are in the active set.

Ec/Io Analysis
The following section describes the in-depth analysis of the Ec/Io in RNCs 1007 and 1012. The analysis is
taken from the Mentor reports, based on real mobile measurements.
The input for the analysis is 11 days of logs with a total of 166,412,602 messages.
Bad Ec/Io is an indication of interference/poor coverage. Cells with bad Ec/Io may have poor data/voice
performance.
As part of the analysis, recommendations for improving the Ec/Io in the worst sectors were added.
The following files are attached: Stats RNC 1007 and EcIo Stats RNC 1012.

CO-SC Analysis
Scrambling Code (SC) analysis and warnings are part of Mentors capabilities.
Mentor can analyze, fix, or plan SCs from scratch.
8.1
SC Reuse
RNC 1007:
Scrambling codes are not evenly distributed between cells.
SC 0, 1, 2 have 9 repetitions.
SC 13, 14 have 8 repetitions.
Most SCs between 0-110 have 2 or more repetitions.
Most SCs between 110- 511 have 1 repetition.
SC repetitions RNC 1007:
August 2010
page 49 of 84

RNC 1012:
Most of the SCs have 1 repetition with some exceptions of 4 repetitions and more.

SC Planning
RNC 1007:
No significant SC problems were found in RNC 1007.
There was only one case of possible conflict when Mentor looked for new neighbor candidates.
Source sector BURDUV15111T-364571
During the logs period, when cell BURDUV15111T-364571 was the strongest, mobiles reported SC 9 1152
times. Mentor resolved this report as cell GAZICD15931T-364533 670 times, and 482 times it was resolved
as cell DEREMH32831T-364723. This might create a problem since Mentor recommends adding cell
GAZICD15931T-364533 as a neighbor to BURDUV15111T-364571.
August 2010

Network Analysis
RNC 1012:
Overall, Scrambling Code planning was good and no major issues were observed. However, tier 2
neighbors (neighbor of neighbor with same scrambling code as the source) were found. This issue should
be fixed but the impact expected in RNC 1012 is minor since in-building sectors are involved.

Network Analysis
There are cases where Mentor had collisions resolving the SC.
Example of such a collision:
Source sector ATASKV34211T-128331
During the logs period, when cell ATASKV34211T-128331 was the strongest, mobiles reported SC 317
700 times. 350 times Mentor resolved this report as cell GZ2SYK34011T-128031 and 250 times it was
resolved as cell YEDPAS34011T-127771. This might create a problem when one of the cells is an existing
neighbor or a candidate for being a new neighbor as recommended by Mentor.

Tilt Recommendations
Mentor uses a smart algorithm to identify overshooting cells that are candidates for tilt optimization. The
algorithm is based mainly on measurement reports collected continuously from logs (CHRs). Note that not
every cell with high access distance is a candidate for tilt. Tilt recommendations are based on traffic
distance but also on the amount and distance of the surrounding neighbors and the level of interference
created by the source cell.
Schema recommends considering implementation of 1 deg tilt as the first step. Afterwards, collect logs
and prepare a model in order to analyze the new RF environment. All tilt recommendations should be
reviewed by a local engineer in case of local limitations or problems that are unknown to Mentor.

KPI Analysis
12.1 CS Bad Quality Call Rate (%)

CS Bad Quality Call Rate is the measurement of the number of calls that ended in normal release, but in
bad RF conditions.
In order to determine this, it is first necessary to find out what bad RF conditions are. In order to do so,
two histograms will be accumulated and equated against each other.
Histogram #1 will be the distribution of the Ec/No of the last measurement report of each CS call that
ended with normal release.
Histogram #2 will be the distribution of Ec/No of all the measurement reports of CS calls that ended in
normal release.
When equating both histograms, it is expected that in low Ec/No values histogram #1 will accumulate
more percentage. In order to determine the bad RF condition limit, it is necessary to find at which Ec/No
the percentage in histogram #2 surpasses the percentage in histogram #1. This will be the bad RF
condition limit.
Figure 1: Find the Ec/No in which the percentage in histogram #2 (all messages) surpasses the

From Mentor Drop Call Map:

Source sector MRATPA07731T-311083 is trying to add to the active set sector
YENHAL07011T-311071 because it is not in the NL of the source sector the call dropped.
Mentor NL Summary Report:
Mentor NL Report:
Target sector YENHAL07011T-311071 is missing from the NL. It has 18.3% HO rate, which
can be the cause of high drops for this sector.
