VoLTE CDR

To reduce VoLTE drop rate it is important to assure LTE coverage and quality: 

1. In poor 4G RF coverage areas, such as tunnels, garages, basements or indoor areas


operator should adjust SRVCC threshold to guarantee acceptable HO performance to 3G.
2. Check if new sites are needed in specific areas or if radio conditions can be improved by
adjusting tilt or azimuth.
3. Consider activating features that will improve VoLTE retainability: TTI- Bundling, RRC
connection re-establishment.
4. Check parameter inconsistences associated with DRX settings, ROHC parametrisation,
inactivity timers, etc.
5. Check specific mobility parameterisation for QCI=1
6. Check other frequency definitions as well as external cell definitions in case you are
optimising a shared network.
7. Check if MSS supports SRVCC request when VoLTE UE is in alerting phase. This
feature will help to improve call drop rate in the network.
8. Interference also affects VoLTE performance. Optimise the radio network to minimise or
completely avoid internal and external interference.
9. If none of the above works, contact 3dB consult. We have the experience to tackle any
problems in your radio network: http://3dbconsult.com/en/contact.html

VoIP performance–related parameters include:


● LogicalChannelSR‐Mask: Prevents the SRs (scheduling request) from being triggered for a
specific logical channel (carrying voice traffic) when a UL SPS grant is configured;
● SR‐Prohibit Timer: Prevents unnecessary SR transmissions during a VoLTE call;
● Short SR period: SR periodicity was reduced from minimum 5 ms to 2 and 1 ms to ensure the
voice packet is served within 10 ms;
● CQI‐Mask: Limits the transmission of the CQI, RI, PMI reports to the on‐duration period
during the connected‐DRX cycles;
● Explicit congestion notification (ECN): Enables the eNB to control the initial codec rate
selection and/or trigger a codec rate reduction;
● Handover parameters (A3 parameters): Optimize A3 event related parameters shown in
Table 11.56 to trigger handovers earlier than data service.
● RLC and HARQ parameters (see Table 11.57): The operator can improve the network
performance by optimizing RLC parameters, including the maximum number of ARQ
retransmission, the length of poll retransmit timer, and SN lengths of RLC PDU and PDCP
PDU. Increase UL/DL HARQ process will be holding on to resources longer, and that may
impact latency/voice quality.
