Pengukuran RTWP
RTWP adalah salah satu kriteria pengukuran kualitas uplink channel

RTWP : Received Total Wideband Power (UE signal + UL interference) Dikenal juga sebagai UL RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) RTWP = Measured RTWP - GAIN Faktor2 yang mempengaruhi RTWP: Air-interface signal (RTWP aktual yang diterima antenna) Feeder connection (RTWP aktual yang masuk ke TRX board) Internal parameter settings di TRX module (GAIN)

Note:

Apabila terdapat external amplification unit (e.g TMA), GAIN dari perangkat ini harus dimasukkan dalam perhitungan, sebagai channel attenuation.

Setting standar untuk Attenuation di RX Branch

Cek keberadaan perangkat dual band combiner di site : No Combiner Site = 0
MO Parameter ID Parameter Name NE MML Command Meaning IsKey Mandatory Feature ID Feature Name Value Type GUI Value Range Enumeration Number/Bit Unit Actual Value Range Default Value Recommended Value RxBranch ATTEN Attenuation NodeB MOD RXBRANCH Indicates the attenuation of the RX channel of the RRU. NO NO None None Interval values 0~60 Not involved 0.5dB 0~30 0 When the TMA is not used, this parameter needs to be set to 0. When the 12 dB TMA is not used, this parameter needs to be set to 4 dB to 11 dB. When the 24 dB TMA is not used, this parameter needs to be set to 11 dB to 22 dB.

With Combiner Site = max 3 dB (GUI value 6)

Note : Ada 2 tipe dual band combiner yg digunakan di HCPT, yaitu Kathrein & Fingu.

Problem Umum RTWP and Penyebabnya

Problem Type Problem Uplink Channel Problem Location Air-interface channel Related Problem External interference Description Space characteristics: regional external interference dan site interference Time characteristics: intermittent interference dan continuous interference Signal characteristics: inter-system interference Inter modulation interference, incorrect antenna dan feeder connection, faulty di antenna and feeder components dikarenakan poor antenna and feeder quality RF channel configurations : berefek ke RTWP di semua carrier dalam RF channel termasuk channel attenuation configuration, interconnection mode, distributed sector, and single-antenna/dual-antenna mode Carrier configurations: berefek ke RTWP di carrier tersebut termasuk initial RTWP value and desensitization intensity Hardware failure di RF module termasuk RF Unit Hardware Fault Akibat dari heavy traffic, version upgrade, feature deployment, interference antar neighboring cells

Metode untuk Menemukan Problematic RTWP Cell

Pilih counter Vs.MinRTWP karena counter in yang paling objektif di antara 3 RTWP counters
(Vs.MinRTWP, Vs.MeanRTWP, Vs.MaxRTWP) Ambil low hour (3 AM) sebagai periode pengamatan Ambil nilai minimum Vs.MinRTWP dalam 7 hari di minggu yang sama Taruh threshold >-90 dBm untuk menyusun cell list

1. ALM-26522 RF Unit RX Channel RTWP/RSSI Unbalanced

Triggering condition: Apabila perbedaan antara RTWP main RX channel dana RTWP diversity RX channel melebihi 10 dB. Suggested handling procedure:

Antara main dan diversity channels, salah satu memiliki high RTWP dan lainnya normal. Clear alarm sesuai prosedur troublosehooting high RTWP. Main dan diversity channel memiliki high RTWP dan perbedaan keduanya melebihi 10 dB. Clear alarm sesuai prosedur troublosehooting high RTWP. Antara main dan diversity channels, salah satu memiliki low RTWP dan lainnya normal. Clear alarm sesuai prosedur troublosehooting high RTWP.

2. ALM-26521 RF Unit RX Channel RTWP/RSSI Too Low

Triggering cause: Apabila RTWP/RSSI RX channel di RF unit kurang dari -144 dBm. Suggested handling procedure:

Salah satu di antara main dan diversity channel memiliki low RTWP. Clear alarm sesuai prosedur troublosehooting low RTWP. Diversity channel memiliki low RTWP. Untuk indoor site, diversity channel umumnya tidak dikoneksikan ke antena. Apabila kedua RF modules berada di kabinet yang sama, RF interconnection mode bisa di-disable. Main channel memiliko low RTWP. Untuk indoor site, RX dan TX channels terpisah akibatnya tidak ada uplink signal di main channel.

3. ALM-26532 RF Unit Hardware Fault

Triggering cause: RF channel atau RX channel kemungkinan faulty, berakibat ke abnormal RTWP. Suggested handling procedure: Lakukan soft dan hard reset RF module, cek apakah alarm hilang. Jika tidak, ganti RF module

4. ALM-26752 ALD Hardware Fault

Triggering Cause: TMA gain invalid. Suggested handling procedure: Replace TMA.

5. ALM-26758 TMA Running Data and Configuration Mismatch

Triggering cause: TMA gain inconsistent dengan configuration, berakibat ke abnormal uplink TMA gains and RTWP problems.
Suggested handling procedure: Reset gain TMA atau working mode TMA.

6. ALM-26755 TMA Bypass

Triggering cause: TMA gain is invalid. Suggested handling procedure: Cek apakah TMA faulty. Jika ya, replace TMA. Jika tidak, set working mode TMA ke normal mode.

7. ALM-26757 RET Antenna Running Data and Configuration Mismatch

Triggering cause: Tilt angle antenna inconsistent dengan configuration. Suggested handling procedure: Reset tilt angle antenna terkait.

8. ALM-26541 ALD Maintenance Link Failure

Triggering Cause: TMA maintenance links disconnected.

Suggested handling procedure: Cek TMA. Apabila maintenance links TMA tidak dapat di-restore, coba replace TMA.
