ABSTRACT.
Cellular telecommunication technology had fastly movement in several last years,
from the analog technology then settled into digital technology. One of application from
digital telekomunication is Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). In 2G system,
service area splitted into
smallest areas that called cell, where every each of cell has served by one Base Tranceiver
Station (BTS). Every cell has limited range, so when the user has moving condition will
definitely be transfered call services from one cell to another cell. Handover is a thing which
it will always happen in cellular communication utillization. Handover itself is a
automaticaly transfering traffic channell process for MS which used for long communication
without disconnection. So it can be said that handover is having very important role in stays
GSMs performance quality keep good. Successfull of Handover measured by BTS and BSC
(Base Station Control) with countingly attempt of handover and attempt of handover fail
which it called with Handover successfull rate ( HOSR ). Low HOSR can be caused due
multifarious factor, and oftenly low HOSR will trigerring a very high TCH drop rate.
Keywords: GSM, low HOSR, TCH drop rate, analysis, and optimization

INTRODUCTION

Every alive Network needs to be under continues control to maintain/improve the
performance. Optimization is basically the only way to keep track of the network by
looking deep into statistics and collecting/analyzing drive test data. It is keeping an eye
on its growth and modifying it for the future capacity enhancements. It also helps
operation and maintenance for troubleshooting purposes.
Successful Optimization requires:
Recognition and understanding of common reasons for call failure
Capture of RF and digital parameters of the call prior to drop
Analysis of call flow, checking messages on both forward and reverse
links to establish what happened, where, and why.
Optimization will be more effective and successful if you are aware of what you are doing.
The point is that you should now where to start, what to do and how to do.
PROBLEM
The problem who caused by coverage :
- low signal level
- neighbour missing
- lack of dominan server
- decrease of signal level
The problem who caused by level and quality signal:
- BER (bit error rate) and FER (frame error rate)
- collusion
- carrier to interference ratio (c/i)
The problem who caused by handover :
- ping pong handover efect
- delays handover
- unnecessary handover
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF OPTIMIZATION
The optimization is to intend providing the best network quality using available
spectrum as efficiently as possible. The scope will consist all below;
Finding and correcting any existing problems after site implementation and
integration.
Meeting the network quality criteria agreed in the contract.
Optimization will be continuous and iterative process of improving overall
network quality.
Optimization can not reduce the performance of the rest of the network.
Area of interest is divided in smaller areas called clusters to make optimization
and follow up processes easier to handle.

FACT & THEORY
Basic Counters of Network Performance

Accessibility
Accessibility counter is one of the most important statistics and it is the performance
expression of the network at the first glance. Accessibility is calculated by multiplying
SDDCH serviceability by TCH accessibility.
Accessibility = SDCCH Serviceability * TCH Accessibility
For accessibility performance of the network, repeated short call setups must be performed
by drive tests.
Retainability
Retainability is the clue to network continuity and targets TCH Call Success rate of
the network. It takes all type of drops into consideration. Retainability = TCH Call Access
Rate = 1 TCH Call Drop Rate TCH Call Drop rate is calculated by dividing total number of
drop calls to number of total TCH seizures and attempts. Total number of drop calls contains
all types of TCH drops including any radio related, user activated, network activated, ABIS
fail, A interface, LAPD, BTS failure or BSCU reset drops. Please note that any TCH re
establishment should be subtracted from TCH call drop rate as call is somehow able to
continue. Total number of TCH attempts and seizures will include any TCH seizures for new
calls and TCH to TCH attempts during Handover and number of intracell handovers as well.
Retainability is wanted to be as near as to 100 percent. For measuring retainability and
integrity of a network, long continuous calls must be performed by drive tests.
Access Fails
Access failures are the total number of unsuccessful TCH attempts which is
calculated by subtracting number of assigned TCH seizures from number of TCH attempts
including the ones during handovers.

RESEARCH PLAN
This paper provides a brief review of Internet data access optimization techniques, ranging
from the earliest days of dial-up networking to state-of-the-art network-selected subscriber
fairness and user-selected application prioritization. It examines the success criteria for
achieving fair and reasonable traffic management. It also looks ahead to models where
economic forces are used to align the interests of users, broadband service providers and
application developers.
Sandvine proposes that in the near future, service providers will be implementing
networkenforced user fairness in conjunction with a user-selected application optimization
system.
Sophisticated network tools that provide detailed visibility into the intent and quality of
applications are critical to the network evolution process. This visibility will help ensure
quality
of service (QoS) for the unique needs of user applications as they compete for access on
shared networks.
A key contributor to subscriber satisfaction will be greater transparency for users who are
affected by network policies and quotas. This topic is briefly mentioned as it relates to
present and future optimization of networks.
Quota and consumption-based billing are not discussed in this document as they are not
effective for traffic optimization and congestion management and are best used as alternative
charging and service control mechanisms to differentiate tiers of service

CONCLUSION
Optimazation network due to several factors such as network enviroment, enviroment
stucture and user increasing
Drive test is the only way to optimize the performance of network
Optimization with drive test metodh can reduce the call failure.
