Preparation of Single Site Verification

Test location and route choose principle
For better performance, the following methods can be taken:
Disable power amplifiers of other cells except the cell to be measured If cannot disable other cells, the testing point should be near the center of the cell, with line-of-sight distance to the NodeB
For a macro cell, testing point should be less than 100 meters from NodeB in the direction of major beam of cell antenna, with line-of-sight distance to NodeB.

CPICH_RSCP/CPICH_EcIo (Near Site) Test
Method
In the major transmission direction of antenna, fix a location with line-ofsight distance from the antenna within 100 meters from the NodeB Test UE shows the signal level, including RSCP and Ec/Io

Bench Mark Value

For macro cells, CPICH RSCP > 75 dBm For micro cells, CPICH RSCP > 60 dBm For no-load cells, CPICH Ec/Io > 8 dB For load-on cells, CPICH Ec/Io > 10 dB

Antenna Diversity Check
Method 1
In the cell to be measured, set UE transmits signals with the fixed maximum power Check the RTWP of the cell to be measured and the neighbor cells
If the RTWP of the corresponding cell increases only and the RTWP of neighbor sectors changes less, the diversity receiver antenna is correctly connected If the RTWP of corresponding cell and other sectors increases at the same time, the diversity receiver antenna is improperly connected

Antenna Diversity Check
Method 2
Connect the Tx/Rx feeder to the Rx ports and the Rx feeder to the Tx/Rx port. Compare the CPICH RSCP before and after exchanging feeders.
If the difference of CPICH RSCP before and after exchanging feeders is more than 20 dB, the diversity receiver antenna is improperly connected
