ENGINEERING IMPACT

Engineering impact
in live networks.

Selected projects demonstrate the results of targeted optimization and spectrum refarming across GSM, UMTS and LTE networks.

LTE / ZAMBIA

LTE optimization: higher throughput, fewer handover failures.

Tier-1 operator, Zambia

The objective

Improve LTE radio performance and mobility while increasing user throughput.

Our approach

Used live performance statistics and traffic recordings to assess individual cells, carriers and neighbour relationships. Optimization covered antenna configuration, radio resource management and uplink power control, alongside PCI, neighbour and mobility settings.

REPORTED RESULTS

Downlink throughput11.5% increase
Uplink throughput9.3% increase
Intra-system handover failure rate16.9% reduction
Radio drops15% reduction

GSM / DELHI, INDIA

GSM optimization: 54% fewer radio-related customer complaints.

Tier-1 operator, Delhi, IndiaNetwork scope: 4,000+ sites

The objective

Improve service quality across a GSM network comprising 900 MHz and dual-band 900/1800 MHz sites.

Our approach

Delivered three cycles of automatic frequency planning and parameter optimization, addressing frequency assignments alongside cell and neighbour configuration.

REPORTED RESULTS

UMTS / MUMBAI, INDIA

UMTS optimization: better connection setup and call retention.

Tier-1 operator, Mumbai, India

The objective

Improve UMTS service quality through targeted radio, mobility and resource configuration.

Our approach

Used live performance statistics and traffic recordings to examine cells, multiple carriers and individual neighbour relationships. Optimization addressed antenna configuration, CPICH power and cell offsets, with further tuning of soft handover, RACH and HSDPA settings.

The pre/post comparison showed lower RRC setup failure rates for both circuit-switched and packet-switched services, together with lower RAB drop rates for both service types.

SPECTRUM / MUMBAI, INDIA

Spectrum refarming: 5 MHz released from a 14 MHz allocation.

Tier-1 operator, Mumbai, IndiaNetwork scope: 4,500+ sites

The objective

Release 5 MHz from the original 14 MHz allocation in the 1800 MHz GSM layer for LTE deployment while maintaining GSM service quality.

The delivery

Refarmed 5 MHz from the original 14 MHz allocation in the 1800 MHz GSM layer, retaining 9 MHz for GSM. The engagement covered a network comprising 900 MHz and dual-band 900/1800 MHz sites.
