Manage and provide RF support to all GSM networks across India.
This included meeting customers in the various cities, understanding
their network issues and concerns, come out with solutions and action
plans.
Generate and review growth plans.
Train local engineers in cellular system design, planning,
optimization, antenna selection, monitoring statistics, reports and
documentation generation standards, and handling of Customers, and
their issues.
Introduce new tools for Cell Planning and Optimization, like Rhode &
Schwarz Interference Analyzer, MRA, Call Tracer, etc.
Introduce new features, like Congestion Relief, etc., and carry out
trials for Frequency Hopping, microcells, etc.
Interface and network with other Motorola organizations to solve
problemsand exchange ideas - Participated in the Adaptive Antenna
Conference in Bath, UK
October 96
- March 97Engineering Project Leader
Managed the GSM Network in the cities of New Delhi and Bangalore,
India
The network in New Delhi consisted of 140 BTS sites, while that of
Bangalore had 80 sites.
Performed the following managerial responsibilities:
1. RF Design and Frequency Planning -- Using NetPlan, PlaNET, MapInfo
2. Growth Planning and Network Expansion using Microcellular
Solutions, Hot Spot Cells, Concentric Cells,
Frequency Hopping, and Cell Splitting techniques
3. Inbuilding Cells -- Planning and Implementation
4. Implementation and Integration of new sites
5. RF and Network Optimization
6. System Performance and Benchmarking Statistics
7. Operation and Maintenance
8. Quality Reports, Test Plans
Was additionally responsible for:
Recommending and rolling-out of new features and new antennas
Interfacing directly with the customer regarding all of the above
Interfacing with Program Management and other organizations of the
company across the globe
Contributed significantly in maintaining a high network voice quality
with an extremely low RF Loss rate in the network.

June 92
- March 95Motorola Inc
., Arlington Heights, IL
CDMA Open Architecture System Test (OAST) Group
Worked as a CDMA Open Architecture System Test (OAST)Engineer.
Responsibilities included:
1. Setting up in-house CDMA Testing Lab
2. Complete RF Layout Design and Implementation
3. Execute the Contractual System Functional Test Plans
4. Present and give overview of certain CDMA features and new RF
equipment.
5. Develop HLR Test Plans working with the development groups.
6. Automate certain C/I, C/N regression tests using LabView.
FOA ACTIVITY: Participated in several FOA's and Motorola-USWest. Was
involved in drive testing and trouble shooting the system,
using the Motorola Testmate platform. Collected and analyzed drive
test data, CBSC-VCC (Inter BSC) messaging, and BSC-EMX2500 messaging.
Used all the above for optimizing the system parameters. Generated
reports and recommendations.
DENVER SYSTEM STABILIZATION: Was part of the four member
Denver Stabilization Team. This was formed to fix the high rate
of noisy and dropped calls that were being reported by the customer.
Drove test the system, collected data, identified the problems and
implemented the fixes, which included correcting the frequency plan,
hand-off parameter errors and lowering the power box. The initial fix
itself improved the dropped call rate from 14.4% to 4.5% and
considerable difference was made in the audio quality, which was
measured by continuously monitoring the SINAD.
AWARD:Was awarded the MOTOROLA RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION AWARD for
writing an extensive script that automated the analysis of data
recorded
in the field. This script would generate the PDF/CDF graphs for
SINAD, SSI, Power Level plus summarize a lot of other useful
information. It helped reduce the cycle time for the post FOA analysis
from 2-3 weeks to 2 days and was of extreme help in the Denver
Stabilization.
PROTO CERTIFICATION: Established a test format to certify
vendor phones on Motorola cellular system. Performed Hand-off,
Interference tests and generated reports.
MICROCELL STUDY: Participated in a study to determine the
microcellular coverage pattern in the Chicago Downtown area.
Developed my own tool writing a program to control a HP spectrum
analyzer to sweep and record SSI's. Helped the Summer Interns to
collect and analyze the data.
ROBUST HAND-OFF: Investigated and arrived at a quantitative
relationship between this feature and the RF Loss Rate.
C/I, C/N Testing: Performed several interference tests under
fading conditions on the different types of transceivers and to
duplicate different problems noticed in the field.
MISC.:Developed System Functional Test Plans for Slotted Mode
Paging feature and Configuration Management on the OMCR.
