# What factor can influence within this phase ?

Phase I : ATIMASCA - SUIMASCA Loss probability : a. No SDCCH available -> SDCCH attem - High number of request - Lack of SDCCH resources - Over idle coverage b. Transmission problem - Abis interfa - flicker transmission - not LOS transmission (obstacle) -> - unnecessary cabling on DDF pane - problems on COBA/COSA module c. HW problem & wrong installation on - high VSWR - broken module - untight connector - broken cable/feeder ; high loss - fabrication faulty : BTS mainboard - cell inversion : antenna, feeder, ba d. Radio Interface problem -> message - frequency interference - unbalance UL & DL due to imprope - unnecessary db setting

Phase II : SUIMASCA - NSUCCHPC Loss probability : a. Transmission problem - Abis interfa - see point b on phase I explanation b. AGCH overload - see statistic meas : difference betw - if the differences > 0 means there a c. Radio Interface problem -> message MS might be due to MS used 'phanto - see point d on phase I explanation d. HW problem & wrong installation on - see point c on phase I explanation

a. SDCCH capacity overhandling might be done by : - adding SDCCH TS within TRX - more selective on filtering MS for accessing network => only MS with good UL level can access the cell and get RACH (set RXLEVAMI, RACHBT) - reduce the (over) coverage by tilting adjustment b. Radio Interface quality improvement : - frequency retune - hopping optimization (hop mode, hop activation, HSN, maio, mall lists - check it all) - for dedicated mode - power control mechanism (threshold, step size) - for dedicated mode - no over coverage for preventing interfering with others => done by coverage adjustment - antenna optimization (ant type with proper beamwidth, ant height, azimuth, tilt) c. HW problem & wrong installation fixing : - changing any broken module/equipment - fix any wrong installation d. Transmission problem overhandling : - transmission replan by TNP (if no LOS) by antenna w optimization (height), transmission re-route - fix any transmission cabling/connection problem and module failure

a. Solving AGCH overload by : - adding block AGCH reserved => set NBLKACGR, but must consider PCH reserved reducing impact by increasing this AGCH capacity b. Radio Interface quality improvement : - see point b on explanation above c. HW problem & wrong installation fixing : - see point c on explanation above d. Transmission problem overhandling : - see point d on explanation above

Increase => Low UL level can access RACH, more attempt SDCCH, less HO fail possibility due to FACCH rejected. Decrease => Only good UL level can access RACH, less Threshold for the signal level on RACH attempt SDCCH, more HO fail possibility due to FACCH rejected. Increase => Add CCCH blocks to be reserved for AGCH, Specifies the number of CCCH blocks decrease blockes to be reserved for PCH. to be reserved in CCCH TS for AGCH ; Decrease => vica versa from statement above. MAINBCCH provides 9 CCCH blocks (shared between PCH and AGCH) LAPDm timer 200 ; determines the waiting time for a layer 2 frame acknowledgement Should be attended that this timer setting can much reduce drop call / signalling conection, but can also deliver non realistic image of the actual radio interface quality (less drop but poor quality). So need proper adjustment as trade off Set True => activate intercell SDCCH HO, more SDCCH usage, more possibility on SDCCH fail/drop. Set FALSE => disabling intercell SDCCH HO, less SDCCH usage, less possibility on SDCCH fail/drop Set True => activate intercell SDCCH HO, more SDCCH usage, more possibility on SDCCH fail/drop. Set FALSE => disabling intercell SDCCH HO, less SDCCH usage, less possibility on SDCCH fail/drop Set True => activate intercell SDCCH HO, more SDCCH usage, more possibility on SDCCH fail/drop.
