PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

RF Optimizer

Alcatel-Lucent (Nokia)-Bangalore for operator AT&T. (Oct-10, 2016 till present)

• Recommendation for physical optimization (tilt/azimuth) in case of Pilot pollution, coverage holes etc.

• Migration of Alcatel-Lucent sites to Nokia. For which using Netact tool.

• Generation of macros using visual basic to automate the parameter changes requirement for migrated sites.

• Volte SIP packets analysis using Wireshark to detect VoIP call traces and packet loses.

• Nokia RAN counters are analyzed for any service affecting KPIs are calculated for any call failure, drop, handover failure. Troubleshooting the network after analysis for counters.

• Implementation of new counters and calculations for KPI analysis.

• Automated report preparation using python script for multiple frequencies. Recommended optimization for PCI swap/collision, poor coverage, low RSRP, low stationary and mobility throughput and carrier aggregation.

• Traffic shifting within the different frequencies of individual sites for load balancing and reduction of traffic congestion. Also controlling the traffic movement towards UMTS.

• Integration of new sites using BTS site manager.

• Work order creation using WIPS for Alcatel-Lucent sites and using Netact dump implementation golden parameters, Drive less optimization and analysis using Arieso.

• Using Python2.7 script generation of automated reports that include all the RF analysis of the launched site.
