Title Degraded SIP DCR - RF Job Aid
Purpose
▪ To quickly identify cells with SIP drop degradation.
▪ This document explains the logic behind the audit and suggests troubleshooting steps.
Degraded SIP DCR Falcon identifies deviant sites compared to the historical performance and flags the
ones with relevant number of new drops.
Suggested troubleshooting steps:
➔ Check hourly SIP DCR in one data. Issue might have been a one-time spike already normalized.
➔ Check if drop cause is mainly RAN (SIP 481) or Core (SIP 503).
➔ Check other issues flagged by FALCON for the site.
➔ Check for possible transport issues.
➔ Check for possible wrong parameters, as wrong EARFCN configured in mobility related objects (e.g.
LNHOIF/IRFIM for Nokia).
➔ Check if handover performance is normal (RSSI issue on neighbor site can prevent handover and lead
to call drop).
➔ Check for degraded performance or outages in neighbor sites.
➔ Check for alarms and hardware issues.
➔ Check for RF shaping opportunities.
➔ Consider site reset if nothing else helps.
