As a phase in network optimization,
RF optimization is to optimize radio
frequency (RF) signals. RF optimization
can control the pilot pollution and soft
handover ratio in the drive test while
optimizing the signal coverage, thus
ensuring normal distribution of radio
signals before service parameters are
optimized.

Network Optimization Process
l Single site verification
As the first phase of the optimization, the single site verification is to test the
functions of each new site. The objectives of the single site verification are to
ensure correct site installation and parameter configuration.
l RF optimization
Once the installation and verification of all the sites in the planned area arecomplete, RF (or cluster) optimization starts immediately. As one of main
phases in network optimization, RF optimization can control the pilot pollution
and soft handover ratio in the drive test while optimizing the signal coverage,
thus ensuring normal distribution of radio signals before service parameters are
optimized. RF optimization covers the optimization of the hardware of the
antenna system and the list of neighboring cells. When RF optimization is
tested for the first time, all the cells in the area should be traversed as much as
possible to rectify hardware faults.

Objectives of RF Optimization
lRF optimization is to solve the problems such as signal coverage, pilot pollution, and soft
handover ratio in the drive test. In practice, however, carriers have different KPI requirements,index definitions, and considerations. Therefore, the objectives of RF optimization should be
to meet the requirements of coverage and handover KPIs in contracts (commercial office) or
planning reports (pilot office) and the indexes should be defined according to the
requirements of contracts.
≤5%Pilot pollution ratio
The soft handover ratio in the RF optimization phaseshould be 5% to 10% lower than the target value. This is
because the later optimization will cause a rise of soft
handover ratio.
30%-40%Soft handover ratio

Cluster division in a project
Preparations for RF Optimization
lDivide clusters and ensure that all the sites in clusters are working
Considering the characteristics of the UMTS system, for example, the coverage and capacity
affect each other and the frequency reuse factor is 1, RF optimization should be implemented on
the basis of a group of or a cluster of sites instead of a single site. In this way, the interference
from an intra-frequency neighboring cell is also considered in RF optimization. Before adjusting a
site, you must analyze the effect of the adjustment on neighboring sites in detail.

Preparations for RF Optimization
l Determine the test route
[ Before the drive test, you should determine the test route with
the customer. The test route should cover the route predefined
by the customer. If the route predefined by the customer cannot
be covered, you should notify the customer of the information in
time.
[ The KPI test route is a core one in the test route of RF
optimization, and its optimization is a core task in RF
optimization. In addition, the test route should also cover main
streets, important places, and VIP/VIC.

Poor Coverage
lConcept: The RSCP of pilot signals in the coverage area is smaller than -95
dBm.
lEnvironment: valley, mountainside back, elevator shaft, tunnel, underground
garage, basement, inside of a high building, and so on.
lConsequence: Full-coverage services are difficult to access the network; the
call drops; the UE cannot camp on a cell and even drops from the network due
to failure to initiate location update and location registration requests.
Countermeasures:
lIncrease the pilot power, adjust the azimuth and tilt of the antenna, raise the
antenna, and replace the antenna with an antenna with a higher gain to
optimize the coverage.
l Add new BTSs or increase the coverage of neighboring BTSs to extend the
overlapped coverage between two BTSs and ensure an appropriate soft
handover area. (Note that co-channel interference and adjacent-channel
interference may be caused after the coverage is increased.)
l Add new BTSs or RRUs to extend the coverage.
lUse the solutions such as the RRU, indoor distribution system, leaky cable,
and directional antenna.

Cross Coverage
lConcept: The area covered by a BTS exceeds the planned scope
and discontinuous dominant areas are formed in the areas covered by
other BTSs.
lEnvironment: hills and areas along roads and harbors
lConsequence: handover failure and “island” effect
Countermeasures:
lDo not have the antenna face the road or use surrounding
buildings or other obstacles to decrease the cross coverage.
(Note that co-channel interference with other BTSs may be
caused.)
lFor a BTS that is located at a high place, replace the site
address, adjust the pilot power, or use an RET antenna to
decrease the coverage and eliminate the“island
”effect.

Uplink and Downlink Unbalance
lConcept: In the target coverage area, the uplink coverage of the symmetrical service
is poor (the requirements of the uplink BLER cannot be met even if the transmit power
of the UE reaches a maximum value), or the downlink coverage is poor (the
requirements of the downlink BLER cannot be met even if the code transmit power of
the downlink DCH reaches a maximum value).
lConsequence: The call is easy to drop due to poor uplink coverage.
Countermeasures:
lFor the uplink and downlink unbalance caused by uplink
interference, monitor the RTWP alarm of the BTS to check
whether the interference exists. For details, see the W-
Interference Processing Guideline.
lFor poor uplink coverage, add a TMA.
lFor poor downlink coverage, adjust power settings if the
capacity is sufficient, or replace the power amplifier with a larger
one.

Area Without Dominant Cell
lConcept: There is no dominant cell or the dominant cell changes
frequently in the area.
lConsequence: Frequent handover occurs; the system efficiency falls; the
call is easy to drop.
Countermeasures:
lFor the area without dominant cell, adjust the tilt and
azimuth of the antenna to increase the coverage of a cell with
good signals (or a near cell) and decrease the coverage of
other cells with poor signals (or far cells).

Process for Coverage Analysis
Downlink coverage analysis
Downlink coverage analysis is to analyze the CPICH RSCP obtained in the drive test. The
quality standard of the CPICH RSCP should be defined on the basis of the optimization
standard. Assume that the optimization standard of the CPICH RSCP is as follows:
The proportion of the CPICH_RSCP greater than or equal to -95 dBm is greater than or
equal to 95%.
According to the test result from the Scanner with no service carried outdoors, the quality
standard is defined as follows:
l Good: CPICH_RSCP ≥ -85 dBm
l Fair: -95 dBm ≤ CPICH_RSCP < -85 dBm
l Poor: CPICH_RSCP < -95 dBm
Analysis methods:
1. Analysis of pilot coverage intensity
2. Analysis of a dominant cell
3. Analysis of the coverage comparison between the UE
and Scanner

Definition and Decision Standard of the Pilot
Pollution
Definition: There are too many strong pilots at a point, but the point lacks a
dominant pilot that is strong enough.
When the following conditions are reached, the pilot pollution occurs at the point:
The number of pilots with CPICH_RSCP greater than ThRSCP_Absolute is greater
than ThN.
(CPICH_RSCP1st - CPICH_RSCP(ThN +1)th) < ThRSCP_Relative
If ThRSCP_Absolute = -100 dBm, ThN = 3, and ThRSCP_Relative = 5 dB,
the decision standard of the pilot pollution is as follows:
l 1. The number of pilots with CPICH_RSCP greater than -100 dBm is greater
than three.
l 2. The difference between the strongest pilot and weakest pilot is smaller than 5
dB.
l When conditions 1 and 2 are both reached, the pilot pollution occurs.

Handover Analysis
In the RF optimization phase, the related handover problems can be
solved through optimizing neighboring cells and controlling the soft
handover ratio. You can control the size and location of a handover
area through adjusting RF parameters to decrease the call drop due
to sharp changes of signals and improve the handover success ratio.
For analysis of other handover problems, see the W-Handover and
Call Drop Optimization Guideline.

Neighborhood Optimization
The optimization of neighboring cells covers two cases: adding a neighboring cell
and deleting a neighboring cell.
l Missed configuration of a neighboring cell: When a cell with strong signals does
not join the active set, the interference rises and even the call drops.
l Redundant neighboring cell: When there are too many messages of neighboring
cells, signaling overheads are increased greatly and a required neighboring cell
cannot be added when neighboring cells are fully configured.
In the RF optimization phase, the missed configuration of a neighboring cell is a
major consideration. The specific analysis methods are follows:
1. Analysis based on the DT result
2. Analysis based on Scanner data
3. Analysis based on UE data

Analysis of Soft Handover Ratio
Definition of soft handover ratio
According to the DT data collected on the Scanner, you
can obtain the soft handover ratio. The soft handover
ratio is defined as follows:
Soft handover ratio = Number of points matching handover
conditions collected on the Scanner in the DT / Total
number of points collected on the Scanner in the DT

Analysis of Soft Handover Ratio
Optimization principles for soft handover:
1. The soft handover ratio in the RF optimization phase should be 5% to 10% lower
than the target KPI value.
2. If the large-scale coverage optimization and pilot pollution adjustment are complete,
and the soft handover ratio approximates to the target value, you do not need to
specially optimize the soft handover ratio and only need to properly adjust related
parameters in the parameter optimization phase.
3. If the soft handover ratio is too large, you should shrink the coverage area to
decrease or change the soft handover area. You should ensure that the
adjustment does not expand the existing area with poor coverage, cause a new
area with poor coverage, or cause more pilot pollutions.

Analysis
The RSCP of the pilot in the area in a red circle is smaller than -95
dBm, indicating poor coverage. In the area, the call may drop.
As shown in the figure in P44, the area is mainly covered by cell B
of Xiajiao Sugar Refinery and partially covered by cell A of Materials
Building. The first consideration is to adjust the two cells to enhance
the coverage in the area. According to the site survey report, cell A
of Materials Building is facing high buildings. In this case, the
problem cannot be solved through adjusting the antenna in the cell.

Improper Site Address Causes Cross
Coverage
Analysis
In a pilot office, the height of the site on the Erqi Road exceeds 60 m,
which is about 20 m higher than the average height of its surrounding
buildings. Therefore, the cross coverage is easy to form, which causes
co-channel interference with other sites.
Generally, if a site is located at a high place, you can replace the
antenna with the fixed electrical tilt 2° with an antenna with the fixed
electrical tilt 6°. As the site on the Erqi Road is located on the coverage
edge, you can adjust the azimuth and tilt of the antenna to decrease
the interference with other sites. In this optimization, the preferable
solution to the cross coverage is to increase the mechanical tilt and
adjust the azimuth instead of to replace the antenna.

Coverage
Analysis
In a project, the antennas of the site are placed on the platform (10 m high), as
shown in the figure in P50. In the optimization phase after network construction,
VP mosaics often increase before the traffic light under the antennas. In this
case, the image quality becomes poor and the PS 384k service is re-activated.
According to the planning, the 3G network and 2G network share a site address.
According to the 2G test data, the signals do not fluctuate greatly at theintersection and under the site. That is, if the 3G and 2G antennas are located
at the same place, the 3G coverage at the intersection should also come from
the site. Therefore, the causes for the problem are summarized as follows: (1)
The 3G antenna is installed close to the wall of the platform, which blocks the
propagation of signals. (2) The 2G antenna and its installation parts affect the
pattern of the 3G antenna, which makes the radiation pattern of the 3G antennavary. According to the installation scenario of the antennas, it is very difficult to
replace the location of the 3G antenna.

Causes Call Drop Analysis
l As shown in the figures in P62 and P63, the neighboring cell corresponding to scrambling code
128 may not be configured. To confirm the inference, view the message process near the place
where the call drops. Find the latest intra-frequency measurement control message, and then
check whether scrambling code 128 is contained in the list of intra-frequency neighboring cells.
According to the result, scrambling code 128 is not contained in the list of intra-frequency
neighboring cells. Therefore, the call drop is caused by missed neighboring cell configuration.
l If only the UE data is available in the test, you can determine whether a required neighboring cell is
not configured in the following way:
[ Determine the scrambling codes of all the cells in the active set and monitored set measured
on the UE before the call drop.
[ Determine the scrambling code of the cell on which the UE camps after the call drop, and then
compare the scrambling code with the scrambling codes in the active set and monitored set
before the call drop. If the scrambling code is not in the list of scrambling codes in the active
set and monitored set, the call drop may be caused by missed neighboring cell configuration.
[ Check the list of neighboring cells for confirmation.
