Issue with Increased IBler After LTE Carrier Expansion to 15MHz

Hi Experts.

We did a bandwidth expansion in LTE carrier in band 28.

We increased from 10 MHz to 15MHz.

The operation was successful in the whole network but not in two cells * in which the ibler increased, causing a drop in degradation.

Has anyone of you experienced this issue before and have you solved it?

I already checked the inteference, I did a FTT scan and counters. No changes.

  • They are the 3 cells of the same site, 2 of them got the problem

Are they sites with larger coverage areas?

Suburban area.

Are these parameters OK in the site?

dlChannelBandwidth
The downlink channel bandwidth in the cell.
Valid values: 1400, 3000, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000
ulChannelBandwidth
The uplink channel bandwidth in the cell.
Valid values: 1400, 3000, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000

I had the same issue some years ago…

The problem was the Radio / Antenna connectors… they have to change jumpers and connectors and problem solved.

If it is Ericsson try mfar command to spot any problems at TX/RX branches.

Still a good idea is to move people to the site and perform an audit of the state of the antenna / connectors and jumpers.

Try to spot if there is no swap feeders.

I hope it helps… Cheers!

Yes, they both are ok, the third cell was also changed but it was not affected.

Thank you so much Dear.
