PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF GSM NETWORK

Global System for Mobile (GSM) is a second generation cellular standard that was developed to solve the fragmentation problems of the first cellular systems and it specifies digital modulation techniques and network level architectures and services. To keep up with the change in the technology, organizations must be a learning organization to keep them in the competitive level. My paper is based on Performance Analysis of GSM Network (Reliance GSM) in Aligarh City, UP, India. Two approaches are used to evaluate the network performance, namely: key performance indicators (KPIs) and drive test. In this paper, according to KPI reports and previous drive test samples, necessary changes are done in network parameters for getting the improved value of TCH resources, hand over success rate, call setup success rate, Rx level and Rx quality in acceptable ranges for better utilization of available resources for providing best quality of service for customers.
