Tasks

• 2G, 3G, LTE KPI monitoring & optimization for Accessibility, Retainability & Mobility, Integrity
• Worst cell optimization
• Identify Sites for hardware issues to raise with FLM to troubleshoot same
• Performed Network Audit
• U900/U2100 optimization for border & inside cells to resolve the issues like call dragging, late cell re-selection
• Customer complaints handling
• Optimization of UMTS sites based on Coverage_RSCP, Quality_Ec/Io, Pilot pollution, Missing neighbors, Soft Handovers and IRAT Handovers using drive test data
• Optimize to improve Ec/Io (Reduce Pilot Pollution) by improving RSCP of dominant cells and reducing coverage (Interference) of less dominant sectors through azimuth, antenna Tilt changes and thus rectify overshooting sectors issue
• Optimization of existing & new network which includes KPI analysis such as CSSR, RAB-RRC setup & retention, call drop, pilot pollution (Inbound-Outbound), handover & handoff problems (Softer, Soft, Hard, IRAT), SHO overhead, power control, cell breathing etc
• HSDPA/HSUPA throughput analysis & rectifying related slow throughput problem
• U900 optimization for border & inside cells to resolve the issues like call dragging, late cell re-selection
• Analyze the output data of SONMaster & take actions on it
• Giving special attention to elevated areas like bridges and provide dominant pilot in such areas
• Analyze Layer 3 Message to find Blocked call, SHO & IRAT HO failure, Dropped call & abnormal network behavior
• Oman-UAE international border coverage spillage analysis & actions for TRA drives
