Coverage hole remediation: new site, antenna swap, parameter change

Parameter Changes: Lowest Cost Fix

A coverage hole is an area where signal strength drops below the minimum usable threshold (typically RSRP below -110 dBm or SINR below 0 dB), causing service degradation or loss. Fixing coverage holes requires choosing the right remediation approach based on root cause and cost-benefit analysis. Parameter changes are the lowest-cost option and should be tried first. If a hole exists at the boundary between two cells, reducing downtilt on the nearer cell can extend its coverage to fill the gap. Increasing transmit power within regulatory limits can also extend range. Adjusting azimuth to…
