As RAN SME, I was responsible for Ericsson LTE network QC (Quality Control) in Sprint’s RAN (Radio
access Network) – around 900 sites.
Achieved 96% of the LTE sectors FREE of MOD 3 interference (PSS), with 2% convergence compared to
Alteryx.
The QC was related to the optimization activities related to HO (intra, inter, I-RAT), Random Access,
mobility layer, Inter Frequency Load Balancing, 2nd
carrier on 1900, MRO etc.
Provided QA (Quality Control) procedures and tools to manage and analyze the Ericsson LTE network
root causes of quality issues, and to support the optimization activity (QC).
The QA procedures were related to daily management and analysis of network KPIs issues related to
CFR (RRC conn), CDR, tonnage, avg DL/UL Throughput , PRB utilization and eNB availability.
Developed QA reports for cross analysis of network configuration, events and measurements counters.
Also created geo referenced reports on MapInfo and Google Earth concatenating existing data from OSS
and Planet database.
These reports supported cluster audits for TAC, PCI, etilt, TA, RSSI UL, Top Offenders, features status
and adjustments, and events analysis for optimization.
Experienced with tools like Ericsson OSS GUI, MOS Shell, CRT, PRTS, and ENIQ, Planet, MapInfo,
Provided analysis of cluster drive-test using WindCatcher, and proposed coverage and HO adjustments.
