1) Interference
2) Bad Rx level
3) High VSWR
4) Bad Rx Quality
5) High BER
6) Handover is not defined
7) When RLT= 0 , call drop occurs
Handover Reasons:
1) Rx Level
2) Rx Quality
3) Interference
4) Power budget
5) Timing Advance
GSM 900Band
Uplink= 890-915 MHz
Downlink= 935-960 MHz
GSM 1800Band
Uplink= 1710-1785 MHz
Downlink= 1805-1880 MHz
WCDMA Band
Uplink=1920-1980 MHz
Downlink=2110-2170 MHz
RX Level:
It is the received signal strength of serving cell.
Unit = dbm
Range= -0 to -120
Good= -50 to -75
Avgas = -75 to -90
Bad= -90 to -105
RX Quality:
It is the quality of voice which is measured on the basis
of BER.
Range: 0 to 7
Good = 0 to 4
R.Q BER
0 0to 0.2 %
1 0.2to 0.4 %
2 0.4 to 0.8 %
3 0.8to 1.6%
4 1.6to 3.2%
5 3.2to 6.4%
6 6.4to12.8%
7 greater than 12.8%
Interference:
It is the unwanted signal.
Two types of interference
1) Co-channel Interference
2) Adjacent channel Interference
Co-channel Interference:
Several cells use same set of frequency. These cells are called
co-channel cells & interference produced on these cells is called
co-channel cells.
Channels in GSM:
1)Physical Channel
2) Logical Channel
Logical Channel:
1) Control Channel
2) Traffic Channel
Control Channel:
1) Broadcast Control Channel
2) Common Control Channel
3) Dedicated Control Channel
Traffic Channel:
1) Half Rate
2) Full Rate
Two Types:
1) Baseband hopping
2) Synthesizer Hopping
Baseband Hopping:
Call is transferred from TRX to TRX.
In this method, there are several TRX & each have a fixed
frequency within the hopping plan.
No. of TRX = NO. Of frequency for hop.
Each TRX would be assigned a single time slot within a TDMA
frame.
Synthesizer Hopping:
Call is transferred from time slot to time slot.
This requires to TRX itself to change frequency according to the
hopping sequence.
So, One TRX would hop b/w multiple frequencies on the same
sequence that the MS is required to.
Hopping Parameter:
Mobile Allocation:
Set of frequency in which mobile is allowed to hop.
HSN (Hopping Sequence Number):
It determines the orders of hopping.
Range= 0 to 63
0= Cyclic Hopping
1= Pseudo Random Hopping
MAIO (Mobile Allocation Index Offset):
It is the number which tells from which frequency, frequency
hopping has to be started from given MA list.
Swapping:
It means interchange.
Three types of swapping occur in drive test.
1) Sector Swapping
2) Cyclic Swapping
3) Diversity Swapping
Sector Swapping:
BCCH of 1st sector occurs in 2nd sector & BCCH of 2ndsector
occurs in 1st sector. Then is the sector swapping b/w 1st &
2nd sector.
Cyclic Swapping:
BCCH of all sectors are interchanged i.e
1-2
2-3
3-1
Diversity Swapping:
It occurs due to interchange of TX/RX cable.
Handover:
Handover is a process in which call is transferred from one cell
to another cell without disconnecting the call.
There are two types of handover.
1) Intra cell handover: B/W two sectors of same BTS.
2) Inter cell handover: B/W two different BTS.
Tilt:
1) Mechanical Tilt
2) Electrical Tilt
Mechanical Tilt:
Mechanical Tilt is used for horizontal direction. It is used to
increase the coverage. There should be less mechanical tilt in the
city; eg.-2, if we will give 2 MET then we will get good coverage.
If we will give 4 or 5 MET in the city than back lob will get
produced which will affect the back sites. In the rural area MET
is given to get coverage for a long distance.
Electrical Tilt:
Electrical tilt is used for vertical direction. It is used to spread
the coverage. We can use 4 or 5 electrical tilt in the city.
WCDMA OR 3G
Wide band code division multiple access
