Radio Network Optimization
FOEC RF optimization services guarantee a thorough optimization of the network and an improvement of network performance within the customer defined constraints. We determine areas for improvement and specify the required input data – measurements, network configuration data and other data about the technology used in the network, analyses the data and determine the changes needed to optimize the network performance. FOEC optimization services includes a split of the radio network optimization process in five sub process
Radio Network Audit
FOEC provides network audit services to its clients, which are telecom service providers or telecom vendors to have a complete knowledge about the implemented systems in the field. This could be physical site audit, where checks are made on the antenna height, antenna type, azimuths, tilt, transmit frequency etc, which broadly fall under the hardware network audit. Under the Radio quality network audit tasks like drive test are used to identify black spots in coverage, quality. Frequency plan analysis helps to check the carrier to interference ratio and the critical areas/regions with high interference resulting in bad voice quality. Cell/BSC/RNC parameter analysis checks for incorrect parameters and values that degrade the QOS to the customer.
Radio Network Verification
The deliverables of Radio Network Verification services include:
- Radio network parameters consistency check report
- Verification report for each 2G/3G/4G radio site
- Service verification report
- Weekly problem tracking report
Radio Network Benchmarking
The methodology of radio network benchmarking services includes:
- Definition benchmarking periodicity
- Definition of reference areas for benchmarking by region
- Definition of reference drive test condition
- Drive test data collection for all technologies (2G/3G/HSPA+)
- Drive test data processing and comparative analysis of all operators and with data for the previous benchmark
Radio Network Field Optimization
The deliverables of Radio Network Verification services include:
- Cluster/Route drive test report and recommendation
- Radio network modification report for each level of modification implementation
- Weekly customer complain analysis report
Radio Network KPI Optimization
FOEC offers high level analysis of radio network parameters and structures to provide better KPI. KPI improvement is provided to Customers in a short period with FOEC KPI Optimization methodology for each BSC / RNC /Cluster
The methodology of radio network KPI optimization services includes:
- BSC/RNC/ Cluster based analysis of available raw network counter data
- Cell/BSC/ RNC based parameters, Cell configuration analysis and changes
- Radio Network capacity utilization analysis and re-dimensioning
- Weekly/monthly network KPI trend report (Drop Rate, CSSR, HO SR, IRAT-SR, EDGE/HSDPA throughput)
- Ongoing monitoring of network performance
- Periodically Radio Network Field Optimization
