OPTIMISATION PROCEDURE FOR ACO & PCO

ACCESS CHANNEL OCCUPANCY

Quick Reference Guide for ACO

Did the sectors ACO exceed the threshold in last months TOP6 ACO report? Are the Zone base ACO Thresholds: Lucent ACO Th = 20% Registrations High? Yes Process C ( Zone Base Registration Issue) Ensure Yes Correct Datafill for all ACH related Parameters Process B (Capacity Balancing)

Optimization

Reference Reports: Lucent:- ACO-PCO Summary-Flux / RFISS

Prior to R21, Introduce new carrier With R21, activate new access channel

Escalate Issue to next level of Support

Yes

No

It could be due to special event or unplanned event, Keep an eye on occupancy

Process B

Process B - Capacity Balancing

Optimization

Are the carriers balanced within 15% of the average carrier load?

No

Modify TCA weights, NL, and IFHO settings

Capacity Balancing
Yes

Yes

Monitor Stats

Do all carriers have same footprint and sectors load balanced within 15%? No Conduct Antenna and Power audits & match the footprints and load.

No ACO Resolved?

Yes Done

Monitor Stats

Check the next step i.e. Zone Based Registration

Yes Done

PAGING CHANNEL OCCUPANCY

Quick Reference Guide for PCO Lucent

Did the sectors PCO exceed the threshold in last months TOP6 PCO report? Yes Ensure Correct Data fill for all PCO impacting Parameters including Paging Channel Overload Controls PCO Thresholds: Lucent PCO Threshold = 72% Verify if SHAPCAR is enabled in the switch. Implement sub-MSC paging. (Carrier Balancing) essentially a common carrier sanity check to ensure that the PCO is equally distributed among all reasonable carriers on the sector

Second Paging Channel

This feature introduces the ability to support up to 2 Paging Channels per carrier-sector. Each Paging Channel can accommodate up to six additional access channels Changing the number of Paging Channels is recommended to be performed during the maintenance window only.

MOP:
note:

2nd_PgCh_MOP

Deployment of this feature must be closely analyzed and monitored due to potential loss of capacity due to limited forward power availability.
