1 Introduction
This document describes some of the typical dropped/blocked call classifications encountered during several RAN Tuning Projects for WCDMA networks. The purpose of the document is for RAN Consultants to understand some of the problems to make the UE analysis and classification easier. The analysis has been based on limited data (for example no UETR data or data based on similar tool, no usage of RBS and RNC tracers) and for this result there could be a deviation in the results. Some of these classifications are only a guideline and should be viewed merely as documenting the typical problem until the correct reason behind the dropped call is established.
All these dropped/blocked calls categories are adapted to the radio environment evaluation thresholds set up for the MTN 3G RAN Tuning project in the post-processing tool TEMS Deskcat 5.6.
In the table below are listed the main causes that must be considered during the analysis, with the explanation for each cause.

CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA

Poor Coverage
The Drop occurs in regions where conditions CPICH RSCP and/or CPICH Ec/No are measured in critical values not suitable for a proper connection.

From there, constraints or opportunities which will impact the analysis need to be examined and factored in to possible courses of action.…

    The NOC Communications Team determines when an outage in T-Mobile network must be reported to the FCC and that Team is responsible for filing the FCC notification and reports. If an outage is FCC-reportable, a Customer Impact Message (CIM) is created. A reportable outage is the inability to complete a 911 call or provide location information to a PSAP or a Blocked Call condition where the user is on the T-Mobile network but unable to complete a call. Not all FCC reportable outages require a PSAP Notification. PSAP Notifications are sent whenever there is an FCC-reportable outage impacting 911 services directly or indirectly. These type of outages would include all blocked call and 911 network outages. Sympathy outages and non-911…

    5. This question relates to the scatter diagram. Because of your knowledge of regression, you can do a similar but much more sophisticated analysis in place of the scatter diagram – multiple regression analysis. Suppose that there are three potential causes (A, B, and C) of a particular effect (E). You gather data and complete a multiple regression analysis with the following results: A has a beta of .086 with a calculated significance level of .182; B has a beat of .561 with a calculated significance level of .000; C has a beta of .116 with a calculated significance level of .156. Which of the causes is the “root cause” of the effect (problem)? Support your decision with the regression results.…
