What's Inside

Comprehensive 5G RAN optimization knowledge verified against 3GPP Release 17/18 specifications

Pure 3GPP KPIs & Counters

Every KPI from TS 28.554 derived. Every counter from TS 28.552 explained with formulas. Zero vendor PM names — pure standards.

RACH & Accessibility

4-step and 2-step RACH procedures, PRACH config tuning, RRC setup, NAS attach. Root-cause trees and parameter dependencies.

Mobility & Handover Mastery

Intra-gNB, Xn, N2 handover. Conditional HO, DAPS, ANR. Measurement events A1–A6, B1–B2 tuning. Every event explained.

Throughput & Capacity

PDSCH/PUSCH scheduling, MCS tables, BLER targets, link adaptation, MIMO codebooks, BWP optimization, UL power control.

Retainability & RLF

RLF causes per TS 38.331, RRC re-establishment, PDCP recovery, drop call analysis framework with RCA decision trees.

VoNR Optimization

Voice over 5G NR end-to-end — QoS flows, 5QI=1, IMS interaction, speech codec, SRVCC, MO/MT call flows.

Network Slicing

S-NSSAI, NSSAI selection, slice-aware RRM policies, slice KPIs from TS 28.554, eMBB/URLLC/mMTC slice tuning.

Energy Saving

Symbol shutdown, channel shutdown, carrier shutdown, deep sleep. TS 38.300 §16.2 + TS 28.310 EE management.
