Interference in the Radio Access Network is ubiquitous and becoming more critical as the deployment of the latest cellular standards brings increased sensitivity and subsequent degradation of network capacity and subscriber Quality of Experience.
There are several different ways of analysing interference, and interference hunting often requires a combination of these analysis methods.
This white paper starts from the basics then examines the different sources of interference in mobile networks and describes a practical approach to the analysis of interferers and the tools used in the field to perform interference hunting.
