TCH blocking reduction and TCH assignment success rate improvement

12 Months

Companies
worked for

Recommended TRX addition in the cells having high utilization and

high blocking wherever addition was possible
Deployed a special type of 4 port antenna to reduce blocking in the
cells having>=4 TRXs
In the cells having TCH blocking due to TRX faulty issue raised to BSS
person and taken follow up for the same
Designed an automation which recommended automatic TRX
addition deletion in cells based on the raw reports
For TCH assignment success rate recommended the parameter
changes TRP=1 & BFG=2 which improved the TCH assignment
success rate from 74% to 94%
Increased the value of timer T200S from 780 to 1000ms after a
thorough study
