WCDMA Access Problems Analysis
ReviewReview
Access is associated with the call setup
success rate of the network. This KPI can be
optimized by means of “Call setup test” and the
consequent trouble-shooting based on access
failure analysis.
ObjectivesObjectives
� Be familiar with the access
procedure in UMTS
� Do analysis on access problems
independently
When finished this course,you will be able to:

Call setup succeeds when the call setup
phase is completed (when CC Connect is
received). If the call fails to reach the CC
Connect stage, it should be pegged as an
access failure .

Traffic statistics data and custom complaint collection reveal problems exactly, further trouble-shooting can be carried out by call setup test. While for a pre-commercial or trial network, call setup test is the effective way.

UE Txpower reaches maximum value 21 dBm during VP call setup. So this call
setup failure may be caused by Uplink synchronization failure:

UE does not send RRC Connection Setup Complete to RNC after receiving RRC
Connection Setup message from RNC :

UE Tx power is very low and downlink pilot Ec is high before access failure,butEc/Io is not very good :

The cause of call setup failure is Requested circuit/channel not available:

RNC didn’t receive RB
Setup Complete message
after it has sent RB Setup
message to UE. Timeout of
RNC is reached after 1.5s:

During access process, UE Txpower is rising rapidly :

And the downlink Bler reaches 100%:

UE report the measurement of cell Sc508 which request the active set update:
Access failure during handover processAccess failure during handover process
The report was
received properly and
“RRC_ACTIVE_UPDATE”
was sent as response
while UE didn’t received it
which results in the
access failure:

Let’s turn to the performance of the terminating UE. During the access process, the measurements from the terminating UE were not satisfactory either:

While the radio links
hold on till successful
handover is completed:

Then the originating UE loses connection to the network and access released
where the cause is “destination out of order” from the signal traced by the terminating UE:

The coverage is not bad where the UE originates the VP access:

CN send “disconnect” message with the cause “bearer capability not authorized”
before access failure:
Access failure due to terminating UEAccess failure due to terminating UE
setup signaling procedure for RRC and RAB have already finished. The cause of disconnect is the same:
Access failure due to terminating UEAccess failure due to terminating UE
The reason is: we use two mobile to test video phone, for the originating call mobile camped in 3G network, but the terminating call mobile camped in 2G network that moment, so video call setup failed, the missing signaling of terminating UE can also explain it:
SummarySummary
Access process is complicated since different devices are
involved and scenario varies. Careful study from signal
distribution to signaling procedure makes things easy.
Examples above are derived from tests carried out before,
which give general idea of trouble shooting, advanced
researches will be supplemented. .
