l Summary
[1] Single Site Verification:
v Every new site is tested and verified to be functioning properly
v Any installation or parameter errors must be rectified.
[2] RF Optimisation:
v Once clusters of sites are ready, RF Optimisation can be
started in order to optimise coverage and minimise interference
and pilot pollution.
v All RF-related failures or drop calls must be resolved.
Optimisation Approach Overview (1/3)Optimisation Approach Overview (1/3)
[3] Services Testing & Parameter Optimisation:
v Comprehensive services testing should be carried out in areas
of good coverage to determine system performance
v Causes of any failures must be identified and whenever
necessary relevant parameters should be optimised.
[4] Regular Reference Routes & Stats Analysis:
v Regular testing & stats analysis will be needed to identify and
resolve any new issues as a result of (e.g. increased traffic).

l Once RF optimisation is completed detailed testing of CS and PS services should be completed
l During testing, end-to-end logs should be collected (i.e. UE as well as RAN & when necessary CN)
l Any failures (e.g. call set-up, drop calls, etc) MUST be analysed to determine exact causes
l Any system defects must be raised to Technical Support for resolution
l Appropriate parameters should be identified for possible optimisation to resolve failures or to reduce impact of any system defects

l Optimisation is an on-going activity and as a result:
è Regular drive tests of designated routes should be carried out
(e.g. on monthly basis)
è Routine analysis of network stats to identify any reduction in
network performance
Regular Testing & Stats Analysis (3/4)Regular Testing & Stats Analysis (3/4)
l Regular Drive Testing- Objectives:
è To benchmark network performance and user experience (e.g.
call setup SR, call drop rate, PS throughputs, etc)
è To identify any degradation in coverage and/or increase in
interference as a result of increased traffic or changes in
environment
è To assess impact of newly introduced RAN features.
è To monitor the progress of on-going optimisation activities.

l Routine Network Stats analysis - Objectives:
è To benchmark network performance, particularly during the
busy hour.
è To monitor traffic volumes and patterns as well as traffic profiles
(i.e. mix of services).
è To assess impact of parameter changes as part of parameter
optimisation exercises.
è To identify poorly performing cells that need investigation to
establish underlying cause of poor performance.
è To provide triggers for network upgrade decisions.
