The figure in the slide shows the RSRP distribution of the best cell.
The figure in the slide shows the distribution of PCI for the best cell.
It can be seen from the figure in the slide that the UE transmission power is lower than 10
dBm in normal situations, and will rise dramatically over 10 dBm only when there is an
uplink interference or coverage area edge. In comparison, a macro cell is more likely to
subject to uplink coverage restriction than a micro cell.
As shown in Figure, Over coverage is caused by the cell whose PCI is 288.
Over Coverage will interfere with other cells and increase the call drop probability.
Uplink and downlink are not completely separated, poor downlink channel quality not only
affects the downlink signaling demodulation. For example, incorrect PDCCH demodulation
affects the scheduling of uplink signaling, resulting in uplink signaling lost. Therefore, we
cannot think easily that the lost of uplink signaling is the result of poor downlink channel
quality.
All the parameters can shown in GENEX Probe which is HUAWEI drive test software.
IBLER is initial BLER.
In the signaling trace result, UE sent several measurement reports to eNodeB by didnt
receive the handover command from eNodeB. Then call drop happened.
To confirm the problem, we can also check the neighboring cell configuration in eNodeB.
In eNodeB side we can see that eNodeB received several MEASUREMENT REPORT and
sent RRC CONNECTION RECONFIGURATION(handover command). Whats more,
eNodeB sent HANDOVER REQUEST to the target eNodeB.
In UE side we can see that UE sent several MEASUREMENT REPORT to eNodeB, but it
didnt receive RRC CONNECTION RECONFIGURATION(handover command) from
eNodeB.
We can see that the time duration is 2 seconds in which the RSRP in target cell is 1dB
higher than RSRP in serving cell. But after the 2 seconds RSRP in serving cell decrease very
fast. So UE can not receive handover command due to bad downlink channel quality.
