 Click on Multiple Sample of this S_5G & T_LTE

Anchor and check Is it reporting same target
5G
 Note down the target 5G gnbid and check the
X2 relation b/w LTE_Anchor and Target 5G
 If its missing than need to create
 If its existing and unavailable need to toggle
the link
 If X2 is available than need to check
LNRELGNBCELL is available or not.
NR_5034(Inter-gnb HO Success Rate)

1) If you are troubleshooting Area, Suggestion to select the top offender of NR_5034 and collect the logs from 5G gnb of offender Sites.
2) If you looking for Market level impact, suggestion to look top offenders of sgnb change refusal from LTE and collect the logs from LTE side.

Inter gNB HO Optimization NAS Tool Output:-
Missing Neighbor:-

• We Use the Nokia NAS Optimization Audit(Missing LNADJGNB)

• We use the QGIS/Cell-Cell to HO report(LTE) for finding missing LTE->NR and NR->NR
• We use the IP Traffic Logs & Wireshark to get missing relation IP Traffic Logs:-
• Used True-Call to find gnb-ID missing in LTE LNADJGNB
X2 Issue:-
• Un-available X2 Link fixes by toggling the link
• Cleanup the Ghost MRBTS X2 Link
• C-Plan IP definition correction
• Wrong IP definition Correction

X2 Link Un-Available Issue:- Wrong C-Plane IP:-

Elgin Cluster- Date- Inter gNB HO SR degraded due to multiple

03/07/2022 sites cplan IP changes

Sites IP got change and all X2 link towards this site become
unavailable, After correcting the cplain IP, Issue got resolved
Inter gNB HO SR degraded due to one sites
Midway Cluster- Date- cplan IP changes

CH22657A- Site IP got change and all X2 link towards this site become
unavailable, After correcting the cplain IP, Issue got resolved

When we changed the site cplan-IP for backhaul upgrade, required the X2 definition correction as well, to avoid X2 unavailable issue and performance
degradation
CBRA Improvement Case-

After Making Cell Range correction(zerocorrelationzoneconfig) CBRA & Active RACH improved
Challenges and Lesson Learned
Challenge Impact/Actions Taken Lesson Learned
CB RACH Top Offender • Studied TA Samples Failure occurred above 0.58Km • Change of PRACH format based on CBRACH KPIs,
site CH37926L shows • Site has Format C2 which are limited with Cell Range. visual check density coverage, and TA sample check.
• Changed Format C2-> Format 0, which provide bigger cell range
