Why spend on Rehoming?

Switch capacity BSC capacity Upgraded technology Border optimization Performance degradation

Switch Capacity Overloaded

BSC rehomed from MSS42\\MGW04 to MSS54\\MGW06 Avoid chocking in switch A requirement from NSS

BSC Capacity Overloaded

49 sites rehomed from IAB003_BSC1 and IAB003_BSC3 to IAB004_BSC2 (S12)

BSC3i-600
600TRXs 4500Erlangs 124E1s upgradable to 252

BSC3i-2000
2000TRXs 12000Erlangs 378E1s

Upgraded Technology
Shorter setup time Shorter routing path Speech perception Pool structure possible

Upgraded Technology

Border Optimization
BSC CP Load MSC CP Load Extra Location Updates Inter BSC HO delay KPIs degradation Bad design

Border Optimization

Border Optimization

Performance Degradation
Mismatch of BSC and MSC definitions Sudden degradation of statistics

Performance Monitoring
Drive Testing Statistical monitoring

Drive Testers Check List

Inter BSC HO (both directions on all borders) Inter MSC HO (both directions on all borders) Intra cell HO (900 to 1800 and 1800 to 900) Call drops Call setup time Inter cell HO Location updates (both directions on all borders) Speech codecs (AMR, Non AMR) GPRS/EDGE Calls from HOME PLMN to other PLMNs and vice versa Emergency calls Route verification Subscriber distribution in VLRs (if pool activated)

Statistical Performance Monitoring

Routine checks of all KPIs
