Abstract
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are used by all mobile service providers and their vendor as a benchmark to evaluate their performance and quality of service (QoS), and also to make comparative analysis with other service providers’ QoS and network performance. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) also has its own sets of KPIs and its benchmarks to monitor the QoS provided by service providers. There are hundreds of KPIs used monitor network quality, of which network blocking KPIs, SD Blocking, and TCH blocking are tackled in this paper. ACLC, half rate (HR) tuning, and cell load sharing (CLS) are the advocated methods for SD and TCH blocking KPI improvement without adding TRX unit in BTS in GSM network on-air sites. These methods were implemented in live GSM network to improve TCH and SD blocking KPIs without increasing number of transceiver (TRX) units in the base transceiver station (BTS) and are mentioned accompanied with the results obtained by parameter changes on live GSM sites of Bharti Airtel.
