SD Blocking
SD Drop
SDCCH Channel:
SDCCH channel is a dedicated channel which is using for LAC updation, Call Setup, SMS in Ideal mode. It works in UL & DL
SD Blocking:
SD Blocking means that you are not getting SD resource for the call origination. When MS connects with Network then RACH
and AGCH are provided. After AGCH, SDCCH is provided but if SDCCH is not provided at this time due to some problem or
due to unavailable of SD by BSC.
KPI Formula in Ericsson:
SDCCH CONGESTION = (CCONGS / CCALLS) * 100
CCONGS - Congestion counter.
CCALLS - Channel allocation attempt counter (on SDCCH).
Overshooting
Shift the SD time slot
Interference
It may be uplink or downlink issue in which cells foe UL put TMA in that cell and DL provide tilt
HW Issue
Wrong parameter planning
Bad coverage
MAIO mismatch
High Pathless
High LAPD utilization
Wrong Power control settings
Check the Timer T 3101
Check the Timer T 200(20ms)
Interference:
Check the BCCH Plan(C/I or C/A)
Co-BSIC & Co- BCCH
To find out proper frequency to reduce interference
Overshooting:
LAC Planning
If a cell is picking call from long distance, check the sample log according to TA
Cell orientation need to defined according to clutter
Bad Coverage:
If the drop call is due to low signal strength uplink, check the receive path of this particular TRX.
Check receiver sensitivity, VSWR, feeder connection and etc. Drops due to Low Signal Strength.
If the drop call reason is due to low signal strength downlink, then, check the transmit path. Check
cards, feeder and etc.
Hardware Fault:
Check Alarms.
TRX condition.
Check Path Imbalance.
VSWR of the Cell.
Connector Connection.
Sometimes you will find issues on BCCH TRX. In this case BCCH shift from one to other TRX will
reduce SD drop
