Slide title 40 pt Slide subtitle 24 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2-5 20 pt Ericsson Confidential2006-05-1616 Cluster Pre-Launch Tuning and Go/No-Go Drives Preparation Phase Scrambling Code Collisions Check: eliminates the possibility that two different cells with the same scrambling code can be part of the same monitored set. The activity is a consistency check of the scrambling code plan in relation to neighbor cell definitions contained in the RND CIQ. Responsible: - RF market team lead Tool: - C3 Action: - in case of severe SC collisions the SC plan needs to be revised Time Required: - C3 tool performs the check in less than 30 mins

17 Top right corner for field-mark, customer or partner logotypes. See Best practice for example. Slide title 40 pt Slide subtitle 24 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2-5 20 pt Ericsson Confidential2006-05-1617 Cluster Pre-Launch Tuning and Go/No-Go Drives Preparation Phase Neighbor Cell Check: minimizes the number of dropped calls due to missing neighbors. The RF engineer is responsible for this activity. The lack of sites or the presence of new sites in the cluster, might trigger a revision of the design neighbor plan. This can be accomplished using the planning tool (or, in case of time constraints, by visual inspection on map). Also the definition of too many neighbors and the fact that the each neighbor list may not be prioritized might lead to dropped call due to truncation of the UE monitored list. The monitored list truncation analysis can be performed by C3 tool. The request for new neighbors implementation is handled through the RFCR tool. Responsible: - RF engineer responsible of the cluster - RF market lead make sure new sites are integrated with the proper neighbor defined (communication between RF-UTRAN-ELS) - ELS implement the change requests Tool: - C3 for monitored list truncation analysis - RFCR (forward to ELS the change requests to be implemented) Action : - review neighbor plan in case of missing or new integrated sites - change requests are forwarded to ELS team for implementation through RFCR tool. Time Required: - 3 hrs per cluster For more information on Neighbor Cell Check refer to proper section of: Links_for_phase2_markets.doc

Go/No-Go Drive (Optional) 1 day for the analyses 1 day dr. Purpose of the drive is to verify single cell coverage and eventually suggest tilt adjustments. Missing neighbor analysis is also performed. It is very important this drive is performed with the highest Cell Availability figure (80% at least)

21 Top right corner for field-mark, customer or partner logotypes. See Best practice for example. Slide title 40 pt Slide subtitle 24 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2-5 20 pt Ericsson Confidential2006-05-1621 Cluster Pre-Launch Tuning and Go/No-Go Drives Drive # 1 (Scanner + Long Voice call) The drive test is setup according to: \\Cingular_UMTS1\Cingular UMTS\Info for PhaseII-Markets\Cingular UMTS Phase2 Pre Launch Tuning Drive Test Process.doc The density of this drive ranges from 250 to 750 meter resolution grid according to the accuracy of the prediction model. As a default use 500 meter grid for tuned models. After the drive is finished use the Sonar web server to check for eventual node restart during data collection and also check for Iu\Iub link status and alarms. Scanner (only) data will be analyzed by Omega or ACP tool with the purpose of single cell coverage verification and missing neighbor analysis (Omega tool). The data will also be used by ACP tool for tilt recommendations (in case site availability is at least 80%). The engineer MUST review all the ACP tilt recommendations before they are implemented. Any proposed recommendations will be forwarded to the ELS team for implementation through the RF Change Request tool. The tool keeps track of all the RF change requests per cluster. (for more details on the tool please refer to proper section in: Links_for_phase2_markets.doc)

22 Top right corner for field-mark, customer or partner logotypes. See Best practice for example. Slide title 40 pt Slide subtitle 24 pt Text 24 pt Bullets level 2-5 20 pt Ericsson Confidential2006-05-1622 Cluster Pre-Launch Tuning and Go/No-Go Drives Drive # 1 (Scanner + Long Voice call) Once the recommendations have been implemented in the network the master database has to be updated by the RF engineer responsible for the change. (For more information on which is the master database and on how to keep track of the implemented changes in the network, please refer to proper section in : Links_for_phase2_markets.doc) It is strongly recommended the engineer responsible for the cluster reports all the issues found during the analysis in the proper tracker. The purpose is to keep track of all the issues on a market basis. The same tracker will also be used for the description of the problem when it has to be escalated to the RF national team for more detailed analysis (a template of the Tuning Issue List can be found at: \\Cingular_UMTS1\Cingular UMTS\Info for PhaseII-Markets\Templates) The Voice data part will not be analyzed but only post processed by Omega tool. The resulting retainability figure will be used to evaluate whether next “On Demand” GoNoGo drive should be performed.
