Procedure for Fault Analysis


Step 1: Located fault point
From the tracing message, we can located the handover fault point, therere 3 key fault points during handover procedure
No measurement report No handover command No handover complete message

Step 2: Analyze the root cause


Channel quality issue Configuration issue Transmission quality issue

Copyright 2013 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page20

Generic Analysis Method


Channel quality problem
Observe RSRP,RSRQ, SINR IBLER, DL/UL grant from driver test tools Observer performance monitoring from M2000 including scheduling statistic, CQI report, MCS, SINR eg.

Configuration problem
Check the neighbor/ANR configuration Check the X2 configuration Check EPC authentication & security configuration

Transmission problem
Check relevant alarm Check the latency using some packet analysis tools

Problem Analysis Black List Configuration


Scenario : UE receives measurement control message, but UE doesnt send any measurement report Possible cause:
The neighbor cell is in black list. In the SIB message eNdoeB delivers all black cell list, then UE doesnt measure any of these cells

Solution: check if all the neighbor belongs to black list

General Coverage Requirement for Handover

Problem Analysis Parameters Setting


Due to improper parameters setting, the criteria for sending measurement report is very difficult Related parameters:
A3 event: Mn+Ofn+Ocn-Hys > Ms+Ofs+Ocs+Off
Ocn can be adjusted to easily trigger the report sending

A4 event: Mn+Ofn+Ocn-Hys > Thresh


Ocn can be adjusted to easily trigger the report sending

Solution This case is considered as delayed handover, we can enable MRO feature to optimize it automatically

Case 1: Inter TA Handover Due to Missing IP Path


Description: In one project, we find a lot of handover failure. From the statistic, we observe that most of these failures happen between inter TA cell. Analysis
From the tracing message, we see that the failure cause is handover preparation failure, the failure cause is GTUP resource not available

Analysis

In the handover request message, source eNodeB deliver the target GTPU ID (SGW IP address) to let target eNodeB setup uplink S1 bearer directly. We check the IP address of SGW in the message, and find that it is not identical with target eNodeB configuration

Copyright 2013 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page40

Solution
Later we confirm this issue, this TA border is also the border of two regions which use different SGW. And in each region ,only one IP path is configured for current eNodeB to SGW. So the handover will be failure when cross the different SGW. Solution
Configure S1 IP path from the target eNodeB to source SGW, then the problem is solved

Suggestion: This is a very typical problem, on the border cell of inter SGW, we should remember to configure the IP path to the SGW which belongs to the target cell as well.

Case 2: Handover Failure Due to No Handover Command


Description: UE sends measurement report to eNB several times , but no feed back from eNodeB Tracing message from eNodeB

Copyright 2013 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page42

Case 2 Analysis
From the previous message, we can see that before the measurement report, eNB sends one RRC reconfiguration message, but the UE doesnt feedback the complete message. Then we check trace on UE side, and find that UE doesnt receive the RRC reconfiguration message

Case 2 Conclusion
Due to poor DL coverage, UE doesnt receive the RRC reconfiguration message, thus no complete feedback. As the previous RRC reconfiguration procedure is not completed, eNodeB is still waiting for reconfiguration feedback and measurement report is not processed.
