Call drop analysis1. Check high call drop cells and its neighboring cells for any fault alarms
2. Generate call drop root cause distribution and check for main contributors (radio, BTS,
Iub, Iur, RNC, Iu, MS)
3. Check SHO if success rate < 90% (leads to radio link failure)
Check if cells are at RNC border (check Iur capacity and SRNC relocation problem)
Detect badly performing neighbors using SHO success rate per adjacency counters (M1013)
High incoming HO failure rate from all adjacencies – check sync alarms
Assess neighbor list plan and do visualization check with map
Evaluate HO control parameters and trigger thresholds
4. Check ISHO KPI if RT ISHO < 90% or NRT < 80% (leads to radio failure)
Check missing neighbors (M1015)
Check GSM frequency plan, RNC and MSC database consistency
Check alarm of reference clock in 3G or in 2G
Check 2G TCH congestion
Check RRC drop during ISHO RT / NRT

Call drop analysis5. Look for DL or UL path loss problem if RAB drop due to radio dominates
Check UE lost counters (active L1 synchronization failure) to check UL/DL path loss problem
Check active set update failure rate (with cause no response from UE)
Map radio failures with RL power and CPICH related parameters (CPICHToRefRABOffset, PTxDPCHMax)
Check call reestablishment timer (T315)
Check Ec/Io distribution for bad coverage issue (M1007)
6. Check core network parameter setting if RAB drop due to Iu
Check SCCP signaling (MSC / SGSN, RNC, IuCS / IuPS)
7. If high RAB drop due to BTS
Check for any BTS faulty alarm (e.g. 7653 cell faulty alarm)
If no alarms, COCO detach/attach
8. If high RAB drop due to MS
Check physical channel reconfiguration failure rate (IFHO, ISHO, code optimization)

• RT
• If communication between UE and network interrupted, this will triggerRAB drop
• NRT
• Interrupted communication between UE and network will not trigger
immediately RAB drop
• Network tries to shift UE to Cell_FACH state, i.e. tries to keep RAB running

RL deletion due to
synchronization failure
Downlink radio link failure results
in UL synchronization loss since
the UE stops transmitting
Soft drop – radio link failure
• BTS looses synchronization with UE and cannot re establish it
within specified time• Compare number of radio links deletions due to synchronization
failure with total number radio link setup processes
• In SHO radio link failure downgrades coverage only, but does not
trigger immediately DCH or even RAB drop
Definition
RL setup due to initial request
RL setup due to soft HO
The counter DEL_SHO_SRNC_ACT_RL_SYNC_ FAIL measure the number of Radio link
deletions on SRNC side due to an active radio link synchronisation failure. If a BTS loses
synchronisation on an active RL and is not able to re-establish synchronisation during
the allowed time.

SHO – OverheadConcept and counters
• Indicates size of SHO area
• If too small, SHO might fail
• If too big, capacity is wasted
• Counter for calculation of overhead
• Consider the time, a call stays in an active set of 1 / 2 / 3 cells, both for RT and
NRT services
• ONE_CELL_IN_ACT_SET_FOR_(N)RT
• TWO_CELL_IN_ACT_SET_FOR_(N)RT
• THREE_CELL_IN_ACT_SET_FOR_(N)RT

Example: RNC area with 3 cells A, B and C
Cell A: 20 s active alone, 10 s with B, 10 s with C, 5 s with B + C
(20 s alone, 20 s with 2 cells, 5 s with 3 cells)
Cell B: 30 s active alone, 10 s with A, 5 s with C, 5 s with A + C
(30 s alone, 15 s with 2 cells, 5 s with 3 cells)
Cell C: 25 s active alone. 10 s with A, 5 s with B, 5 s with A + B
(25 s alone, 15 s with 2 cells, 5 s with 3 cells)
Cell level results
Cell A: Average AS size = (20x1 + 20x2 + 5x3) / (20 + 20 + 5) = 1.67 (67% overhead)
Cell B: Average AS size = (30x1 + 15x2 + 5x3) / (30 + 15 + 5) = 1.50 (50% overhead)
Cell C: Average AS size = (25x1 + 15x2 + 5x3) / (25 + 15 + 5) = 1.56 (56% overhead)

Cell level formula gives too high KPI value
Reason:
If e.g. A and B are active, during this time a call is counted both in A and
B, i.e. two times
If e.g. A. B and C are active, during this time a call is counted in A, B and
C, i.e. three times

Average AS size = (75 + 50 + 15) / (75/1 + 50/2 + 15/3) = 1.33 (33% overhead)

SHO per adjacencyConcept and counters
• SHO attempts per adjacency
• No attempts to distant cell → might be removed from neighbor list
• No attempts to nearby cell → check whether SC of ADJS is declared correctly in RNC data
base
• No attempts to inter-RNC cell → check whether RNC data bases are consistent with each
other (e.g. SC declarations)
• Very few attempts to nearby cell → check user distribution and propagation conditions
• Very few attempts in general → check addition window setting
• Too many attempts to specific neighbor → check user distribution and pilot pollution
• Too many attempts in general → check addition window setting

SHO per adjacencyConcept and counters
• SHO success per adjacency
• High failure rate (several 10%) → besides RL setup / addition failures and airinterface performance check for SC clash
• 100% failure rate to intra-RNC cell → check for HW faults
• 100% failure rate to inter-RNC cell → check for inconsistency between RNC and
core network data base (e.g. CI, LAC and RAC declarations)
• Attempt and success per adjacency monitored by AutoDef SHO

ISHO per adjacencyConcept and counters
• ISHO attempts per adjacency
• No attempts to distant cell → might be removed from neighbor list
• No attempts to nearby cell → check whether BCCH frequency and BSIC is
declared correctly in RNC data base
• ISHO success per adjacency
• High failure rate (several 10%) → besides air interface performance check for
BCCH-BSIC clash
• 100% failure rate → check for inconsistency between RNC, BSC and core
network data bases (e.g. CI, LAC and RAC declarations)
• Attempt and success per adjacency monitored by AutoDef SHO
counters (M1015)

Inter RNC mobility
Relocation procedure and failure detected differently between source
and target RNC
Target RNC
– Target RNC sees relocation as incoming RRC connection setup with causeSRNC relocation
– Setup, access and active counters incremented both for RRC and RAB
– In case of failures, corresponding setup and access failure counters are
incremented both for RRC and RAB (failure due to RNC)
Source RNC
– Source RNC starts relocation procedure and releases finally RRC connectionwith cause SRNC relocation
– Active release counters incremented both for RRC and RAB
– In case of failures, corresponding active failure counters are incremented both for
RRC and RAB (drop due to RNC)

1. Determine main failure cause contributor
2. Check HSDPA setup performance of target cells if SCC failure rate of source
cell is high
3. If high SCC failure rate due to admission control
• In case of power congestion check HSDPA power settings (in case of dynamic power R99
should not throw out HSDPA completely)
• Otherwise check number of HSDPA users
4. If high SCC failure rate due to BTS
• Usually NOT lack of baseband resources (associated DCH already in SHO before SCC, for
HSDPA baseband is reserved per scheduler)
• Check radio link reconfiguration failure causes of target cells
• Check BTS hardware

5. If high SCC failure rate due to UE
• Check RB reconfiguration failure rate
• Check air interface performance
• Check ICSU log for UE type monitoring
6. If high SCC failure rate due to transport
• Evaluate number of reconfiguration failure due the transmission
• Check for number of individual AAL connections
• Check for frame delay or even frame loss due to congestion
7. If high SCC failure due to other reason
• Check RNC internal transport resources usage (DMPG)
• Requires ICSU troubleshooting

Previous releases up to RU10
• Inter-RNC HS-DSCH serving cell change and relocation at the same time
• No flow of user data over Iur
• Switch back to DCH not required, but nevertheless interruption of HSDPA service by themobility procedures
Since RU20
• First inter-RNC serving cell change, then relocation
• Flow of user data over Iur, when inter-RNC neighbor becomes new serving cell
• HSDPA service not interrupted by the mobility procedures
