IRAT PS issue

[fon909]

Hi,

Currently in my network am experiencing high IRAT PS drop whereas IRAT CS drop is good, any suggestions?

Also, can anyone throw light on whether 'compressed mode' applies to PS calls as well?


Thanks.

HI kindly check if the neighbors LAC defined in SGSN and you can check FMCS for PS if it Nokia threshold you can speed up the IRAT.
you can check one counter if the problem from 2G side or not (UTRAN_NOT_ABLE_EXC_ISHHO_NRT) or you can check cell not found counters

Its for E/// vendor, I'll check LAC definitions in SGSN.

yeah, definitions are fine, still no improvement. really looking for more info, experts plz throw some light.

hello dear, the compression mode applies to PS as well.

Check different thresholds for entering compressed mode per service, find from statistics/trace what is the cause value reason, do a drive test if it's need and etc.

'Check different thresholds for entering compressed mode per service' good hint, I have exhausted myself checking thresholds for both CS and PS calls (referred Alex), but couldn't find, could you please guide a bit further that would be great.

Thanks.

How much higher is PS drop than CS? Your PS drop rate in IRAT will always be higher because of the reduced spreading factor for PS services (plus compressed mode reduces the spreading factor again and increases the UL interference).

Is the higher drop rate for all PS services? Or is it different for HS services? I remember in P6 there was a problem with HS->2G IRAT handover for certain types of data card.

Hi,

IRAT is worst for all PS services only, CS is fine.

You need to show what counters are triggered for the HO Failures. Are the calls dropping or is the HO just failing? In some cases, counters can be triggered for HO failure but the Handover may go ahead under another guise(eg, HSUPA HO may fail but PS R99 may work). Please post some more information as its not possible to diagnose without the counter information.
