UMTS Uplink Interference Analysis

The UMTS uplink interference analysis includes the management of uplink interference analysis tasks and the query of UMTS uplink interference analysis reports. The Nastar analyzes the Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP) reported by the NodeB:

Use the interference sequencing function to preliminarily locate the interfered NodeBs. Use the figure of the strength and trend of the main and diversity interference signal to analyze

whether the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is normal to further determine the features
of the interference.

Use the figure of the difference values of the main and diversity interference to determine whether the antenna receiving is normal.

Case 1

DYB is an important province in country T and is near to Iraq. Citizens in DYB believe in Islam. Some foreign hundredpercenters may perform remote destruction control in DYB. In this case, the government and armies may perform wireless interference in some areas. The local wireless environment is very complicated.

TRKAL is a typical NodeB that is near to a mosque. During

the routine network optimization by the Nastar, it is found that the interference of the NodeB is suddenly increased. According to the observation for a period, the interference is available for a long time and periodically reaches the peak value. This problem occurs in multiple NodeBs and the interference is obvious on the entire network.

According to the field observation, it is found that some fixed interference sources are installed in some mosques in the area. To solve the interference problem, customers are advised to replace frequencies in the area after parameters are scanned.

After frequencies are replaced, the Nastar immediately finds that the interference of the NodeB is cleared.

The interference is available. Uplink interference is detected. The strength of typical interference signal is about -85 dBm.

Uplink antenna is faulty. Check the maindiversity level distribution. If it obviously offsets to one side (greater than 5 dB), it indicates that a branch is abnormal in the receive channel.

Antenna feeders may be connected reversely. It is found that the value of Standard Deviation (Main-Diversity) is greater. The average receiving level of the main significantly different from that of the diversity.
