- Course Length:
- 1.5 days
This workshop provides insights into the symptoms and possible causes of field performance issues in LTE radio networks using UE logs. RF measurements related to coverage and interference are discussed to analyze coverage holes and overlapping regions. Students analyze LTE signaling messages through UE logs and map them to success and failure events. Students perform root cause analysis and gain an in-depth understanding of these signaling events to network performance. LTE RF optimization areas such as Intra-LTE and IRAT handover operation. This knowledge transfer is obtained through hands-on experience using UE based diagnostic tools and scanner tools.
This workshop is primarily intended for RF and systems performance engineers involved in LTE design, performance, and optimization.
After completing this course, the student will be able to:
■ Define the LTE RF KPIs and map them to RAN counters
■ Identify various LTE signaling events that map to success and failure operational counters
■ Analyze UE logs for root cause analysis of successful and failure events
■ Map above events to operational counters and corresponding KPIs
■ Intra LTE handovers and
■ Inter-RAT handovers
