In my network drop due quality uplink is high which contributing around 45% of the network call drop. can anybody tell how to improve the network and what are methods to check
Details of my netwok
GSM 900/ 1800 Band – Ericsson network- 6,6,6 TRx configaration with 31 ARFCN in GSM 900 & 12 ARFCN in GSM 1800
did you activate the UL power control and the DTX uplink ?
if no : activate them
if yes : check your UL power control thresholds (upper and lower), decrease those values by few dB in order to reduce the overall uplink noise in your network.
all BSC’s in my GSM 900 network are suffering from an increasing on TCH drop rate with bad quality up link and sudden reasons.
TCH drop rate 0.87% to 1.6%.
what do you think I have to do to improve it? by the way all power control parameters set correctly.
Dear all
You should check the TA of drop calls. If your drop calls are at far places down tilt your antennas or if you dont want to loose coverage install TMA. TMAs will improve your UL strength.
