CLUSTER AND SWAP INFORMATION

The city of Rostock is subdivided into two clusters. This report refers to the cluster in the centre of
Rostock. The second Rostock cluster includes the northern part of the city including the Baltic Sea
harbour. The O2 network in Rostock is lightly loaded and appears to be in good condition. During the
Pre and Post Drive tests all the sites were operational and no significant network issues were
encountered.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report summarizes the DT performance of O2 network in Rostock (cluster 1) before
and after the Node B swap. As Rostock is subdivided into two separate clusters, this analysis
concerns only the centre of Rostock since the northern part of Rostock has yet to be swapped.
The Rostock 1 cluster demonstrates that the performance of the Nokia network exceeds that of
the previous equipment. For both CS and PS calls the post swap performance generally exceeds
the pre swap performance. However due to the lack of intervendor Iur and the fact that some of
the drive testing for this cluster was carried out in the vicinity of the cluster border there is some
impact on the performance. This is due to the rf emissions from the sites in the unswapped
cluster being experienced by the users (and drive test UEs) in the swapped cluster and causing
an increased noise environment. This effect will be experienced in all clusters where there are
boundaries between swapped and unswapped clusters. The effect is not severe in this case but
slightly adversely affects the throughput and probably contributes to some dropped calls in the
boundary region. The DL BLER performance is significantly better with the Nokia equipment and
this should provide enhanced voice quality and data throughput performance.

Issue #1: HTTP Download Failure

A normal Download of the predefined 700kB HTTP file consists of 715616 Bytes. According to TEMS
logfiles (Actix Post-processed) only 712931 Bytes are downloaded. The event is flagged by Transfer
Error. Before the fail occurred we see a RRCConnectionReleaseComplete. The connection is thus
terminated normally, which we can also see in the data below that Ec/Io values are quite acceptable
(blue color). As in region South, we already seen this tool error. We consider this event as void.
Normally if the HTTP Failure occurred in a highly interfered location we could say that this is a typical
radio issue. HTTP Failure can also occur when the UMTS Network area is highly loaded or a drop in
the receive power (diffraction, sudden RF loss, tunnel, etc..), which is not the case here. We can also
see that the subsequent messages are all normal. RRCConnectionRequest then Setup and setup
Complete. This issue will continue to be reported as a fault in future reports and it is expected that
future releases of TEMS may cure this problem.

Issue#2: PS Call drop

The figure below clearly shows the rapid degradation of the rf environment. We can see that at the
time and location of the drop the Ec/No is very bad. Here the mobile is very close to the site, which
means that the DL receive power is sufficient but the increase in noise (probably due to the
interference coming from the non-swapped sites in the adjacent cluster) rapidly reduces the Ec/No.
We see also that aggregated BLER has increased to 100% on this location.

DL throughput reduction

As discussed previously the DL throughput is affected by the radio conditions. In the Rostock data
there are some PS sessions that appear to be affected by interference due to the missing intervendor
Iur. Although it is occurring in a irregular fashion (due to local clutter and propagation environment)
this example clearly demonstrates the cause (poor Ec/Io) and effect (reduced throughput). Referring
to plot 15, showing the throughput versus the time of call, the reduction of average throughput is clear
to see, particularly around 06:23. Plots 16 and 17 present the throughput and Ec/Io data for this time
and clearly demonstrate the correlation. Although it is not possible to pin point the source of the
interference to the unswapped sites in the north of Rostock, it is clear that this example of reduced
throughput is in the north of the Rostock cluster and in close vicinity to those unswapped sites.
Without detailed clutter and terrain information we can only assume that those areas where the
throughput is reduced have low loss radio paths in the direction of the interfers.

Issue #4: CS Drop


The only CS Drop occurred in very good Ec/No and CPICH Levels as seen on the Actix
Message browser. The drop was flagged as No service by TEMS. We believe that this
is an isolated miscellaneous drop. There is no interference or signal level issue in this
area. The message browser is displayed below. All the rf conditions indicate there
should be no problem to continue to support the call. The active set contains one pilot
coming from the OTSR site 212310035B (SC 330) and the monitored set has two low
level members. The Serving cell Ec/Io has a level of 3dB and RSCP of -79 dBm
