Optimization Report

The report summarizes network optimization activities aimed at improving network quality and brand perception for TIGO. It identifies issues from analyzing call trace data from the worst performing BSC, including overshooting coverage gaps, dropped calls, and accessibility problems. Solutions proposed include antenna adjustments, parameter changes, new site coverage, drive testing identified clusters, and site visits. The optimization process will analyze all 24 BSCs to identify problems and improvements over 5 months. Core network optimizations include upgrading software and hardware to improve call handover, reduce dropped calls, and enhance data services.

REPORT Optimization Report

The report gives an overall summary of the activities aimed at improving


network quality and overall TIGO brand perception with respect to quality.
We are in the process of developing an optimization model to be used for
the entire network, using DABSC17 as a reference. Emphasis would be on
improving customer perceived quality, focusing an service availability,
accessibility and end to end service delivery, in technical terms improving
bottlenecks on the Network Access layer, and ensuring optimal performance
of the Network Switching/Core layers.

DATA ANALYSIS
REFERENCE DATA: NETWORK CELL TRACE DATA FOR DABSC17

As the worst performing BSC in DAR metropolis in terms of call and signalling drops, DABSC17 was used as
a trial BSC to simulate the process detailed above, and the Chart below gives the high level breakdown of
issues for the 106 worst performing cells in DABSC17, and the table also gives a summary of solutions
aimed at addressing the issues

2 Clusters were identified for RF drive test to correlate the field data and statistical data from the call trace,
the clusters are

1. Airport Cluster, poor SDCCH Access, TCH and SD drop all across the cluster especially for the
dominant cells serving the Airport
2. CHRIS Cluster, with specific drive test route to correlate poor KPI data for, DAR243, DAR244,
DAR089, DAR062 and DAR090, with the view to correct the poor cluster performance
3. Other drive test to be done based on the result of physical site visits and audits

Analysis and complete optimization for the 24 BSCs in the Network would take about 5 months to
complete, May 2020, but priority would be placed on the worst performing BSCs .
