LTE Idle Mode – Cell Reselection

-

After cell selection UE performs measurement and carry out cell reselection of new candidate cell. This is based on certain criterion. Reselection process involves 2 steps
1.    Measurements Condition:  Specifies when to start measuring neighboring cells. Once condition is met UE measures the RSRP level of the E-UTRA cells on the current frequency and any inter-frequency and inter-RAT frequency carriers.

2.     Reselection Condition: Specifies reselection criteria for candidate cell. There are two different mechanisms for cell reselection:
 Legacy Based
Priority Based
Cell reselection can be either Legacy or Priority based.

Legacy Based
 This is classical Ranking based system and is applied to intra-frequency reselection.
• It is also applied to inter frequencies which are equally prioritized.
• UE applies cell ranking R criterion on serving cell and neighboring cell.

Priority Based
Priority values in the range [0..7] are used, where 0 indicates lowest priority and 7 indicates highest priority.
Priorities can be set for:
Inter Frequencies: Lower, Equal or Higher Priority
Inter-Rat Frequencies: Higher or Lower Priority

Equal priorities between different RATs are not supported


Idle Mode – Cell Reselection: Priority Based
CellReselectionPriority    :           Absolute reselection priority for E-UTRA or IRAT frequency

sNonIntraSearch :           Threshold for inter and IRAT frequency
threshXLow                    :           Threshold for Srx value of serving cell below which UE performs cell
 reselection towards a lower priority cell.

threshXLow                    :           Threshold for Srx value of target cell for cell reselection towards a
                                                lower priority Inter or IRAT frequency.
tReselectionEutra           :           Cell reselection timer value for EUTRAN


tReselectionUtra :           Cell reselection timer value for UTRAN

SCFT - Single Cell Function test

-
Single Cell Function test SCFT is for verifying whether individual BTS works well or not, by making a single cell function test of BTS hardware and software. Essential items to be tested are as follows: 1) BTS Transmitter Output Measurement Test 2) Initial parameter establishment (Pilot PN/System ID/Site ID/Frequency, Neighbor List) 3) Call Origination and Termination Test 4) Softer Handoff Test/Antenna installation check (Direction, Tilt, Transmission Line) 5) Single Cell Coverage Test 6) Noise Floor Test 7) Parameter check.

Troubleshooting for GSM KPIs (SD Block & SD Drop)

-
KPIs to be monitored: ·             SD Blocking ·             SD Drop SDCCH Channel: ·    SDCCH channel is a dedicated channel which is using for LAC updation, Call Setup, SMS in Ideal mode. It works in UL & DL SD Blocking: ·    SD Blocking means that you are not getting SD resource for the call origination. When MS connects with Network then RACH and AGCH are provided. After AGCH, SDCCH is provided but if SDCCH is not provided at this time due to some problem or due to unavailable of SD by BSC. KPI Formula in Ericsson: ·             SDCCH CONGESTION = (CCONGS / CCALLS) * 100 ·             CCONGS - Congestion counter. ·  ...

PS core network

Image
The PS core network consists of two parts, the traditional General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) core network and the new Evolved Packet System (EPS) core network. The PS core network connects mobile subscribers to Packet Data Networks (PDNs) such as the Internet, corporate networks or operator services networks.  a functional overview of the PS core network. Logical entities and interfaces are shown in black and form a 2G/3G network, while the blue boxes and lines in Figure  show the LTE/EPC related parts. The LTE/EPC network can be regarded as an extension and evolution of existing 2G/3G networks. From a node implementation perspective, there is no strict border between the two networks. The corresponding logical entities of GPRS and EPS networks can be deployed concurrently in Ericsson PS core nodes, such as the SGSN-MME and EPG; these are marked in red. In addition, Ericsson GPRS nodes can be upgraded with EPC functionality by software only. Network evolution i...
