Problem description
Counter analyses, which was confirmed through field
results, highlighted a lower Call set up Success rate on
Mobile
Terminating calls if compared to Mobile Originating calls
(1% ). Preliminary investigation has shown that
connected and idle mode link budget might not be properly
aligned and we might be DL limited.
Solution to test:
By adjusting the cells Common powers (Fach power) used in
the call setup phase, we were hoping to virtually increase the
3G DL accessibility coverage.

The Upug says:In order to ensure that the maximum FACH power will be high enough to allow the
transmission of the last repetition of RRC Connection Setup, its value should respect the equation,
as shown in FACH power adjustment:
Before Trial:
maxFachPowerRelativeToPcpich (4) sccpchPowerRelativeToPcpich (0) + InitialFachPowerAdjustment (2) + N351(1)*
FachTransmitPowerLevelStep (1)
After Trial:
maxFachPowerRelativeToPcpich (8) sccpchPowerRelativeToPcpich (2) + InitialFachPowerAdjustment (4) + N351(1)*

Summary
The Trial was conducted on 3 different RNCs and showed the following Benefits:
CS CSSR (CS Setup Success rate ) increase by 1.1 %
CSSR user perspective PS increase by 1.3 %
Inter System reselection (Inter-RAT RRC) success rate increase by 1.8 % i.e. more reliable IRAT cell resection, paging at cell border
less vulnerable.
Customer Registration procedures success rate increase by 1.2%
Overall Mobiles Signalling (RRC) Success rate increase by 1.39%
Mobile Originating Calls RRC success rate increase by 0.7%
Mobile Terminating Calls RRC success rate increase by 0.4%
Reduced the gap between MO and MT RRC success rate by 24 %
Quicker call setup time due to Less Signalling (RRC) repetitions of time-out cause
No DCR (Drop Call rate) degradation
No (inter System Handover) degradation, despite the extra users at cell edge the average number of HHO per call is stable.
No Congestion due to extra Power or Extra Traffic
No QoS degradation and no Pollution
To summarise this trial had significantly increased the CSSR and helped balancing the UL and DL link budget by aligning the idle and
dedicated mode coverage. By doing so we also made quicker and more reliable the signalling phase during call setup and enhanced the
user experience at cell edge both for MO and MT calls.
Recommendation is
1.to role out the change across the Nortel network
2.Suggest having similar functionality in E/// network
