 SRS is implanted in TDD site to estimate UL Channel condition

 If valid SRS is not reported in UL direction than RLF due to SRS triggered
 In Pre total time of RLF due to SRS is 1 second, In Phase 1 it’s changed to 4 second, Phase 2 RLF due to SRS is disable
 Nokia Global recommendation is to disable SRS based RLF as already CQI and in sync/Out sync model is already implemented
 Conclusion & Way forward : We should mass rollout this changes.

 RLF due to SRS is reduced by 52 % in Post1 & became 0 in Post2

 RRC reestablishment attempts are reduced by ~ 1% is Post1 & ~ 8 % in Post2
 Average CQI is at par with pre
 Average SINR of PUCCH & PUSCH channel is at par with Pre value
 HARQ retransmission ratio DL & UL is also at par with pre – No negative impact observed
