3G to 2G Handover Presentation

July 10, 2006


Current Setting

UMTS
Idle
EcIo
SsearchRAT = 4 (-14) Idle
Qsearch_I = Always
Dedicated FDD Qmin = -13
RSCP
thrown_3a = -100 dBm Dedicated
throoth_3a = -100 dBm Not Allowed
thruf_2dug = -97 dBm
thruf_2f = -94 dBm

Poor Coverage &


No Dominant Server.
Need to improve coverage

In Dedicated Mode, UE fall


below -100 dBm in 2 sample.
Trigger point from 3G to 2G <
-100 dBm.

In Idle Mode, EcIo still better


than -14 even in low RSCP.
Hence no 3G to 2G cell
reselection

„ No Handover from 3G to 2G. Served by Rockwell2


„ Missing 3G to 2G neighbors

„ UE already verified BSIC and Trigger Event 3a, however no reply from network.
„ Need to perform IMSI trace for troubleshooting. Suspect similar problem with BPI

Poor Inter-RAT Handover SR

„ From statistics, 100% PS inter-RAT handover failure rate


„ BPI, SAMAT, CUPANG – chosen for troubleshooting
„ SAMAT – KPI : InterRAT HOSR CS = 75%, PS = 0%

Action Plan

„ CS Inter-RAT HO
- Define additional 3G to 2G neighbors list ( Done-
pending database execution)
- Perform K12 & IMSI trace for Rockwell &
Mckinley
- Re-verify with Drive Test and Statistics
- Coordinate with Core on the signaling issue (BPI
Buendia)
„ PS Inter-RAT HO
- Iu (RNC-SGSN) and Iub signaling trace will be
conducted this week
- Issue escalated to Siemens TAC3
- From DT, the result is ok
- Suspect KPI counter problem (TAC3)

Pro & Con

„ PRO : - Faster Handover/Cell reselection from 3G to 2G


- Reduce missing neighbors problem due to
overshoot serving of 3G
- Better 3G KPI

„ CON : - 3G coverage shrink


- Non Continuous 3G coverage
