Q.1: Please introduce the telecommunication/wireless system configuration.

GSM: MS-BTS-BSC-MSC WCDMA:UE-NODEB-RNC-CN
Q.2: Tell us 2G/3G(noun) parameter we often see in the testing ,explain it:
GSM:
RX Level (Received signal level):
-70dbm to -20dbm:good;-70dbm to -80dbm:normal;-80dbm to -90dbm:acceptable; below
-90:bad
RX Quality (Recieved signal quality):
0 to 4 :good; 4 to 6 normal; up 6 bad;
C/I: Carries power / Interface power
WCDMA:
RSCP: Recieved signal code power
-70dbm to -20dbm:good;-70dbm to -80dbm:normal;-80dbm to -90dbm:acceptable; below
-90:bad
0 to -6:good;-6 to -10: normal;-10 to -12:acceptance; below -12:bad.
Q.3: Introduce the testing for new site.
? On air or not;
? sector swap or not;
? site coverage;inter handover;intra handover;
? GPRS or hsdpa hsupa testing
? video call testing(3G)
? sms,mms testing
Q.4: How to estimate the antenna /feeder cross during testing?
When we at the service cell coverage the rxlev is other cell s .and the rxlev is w
eakly.
When we test ,target cell ,the sverce line connect to other cell.
Q.5: Please Analysis of Causes of call drop.
Poor coverage:
Coverage hole, dead zone, isolated island, uplink/downlink unbalance Coverage ov
er shooting Signal attenuation.
Interference:
Internal interference, external interference and the equipment interference ;Str
ong downlink/ uplink interference.
Parameter setting not proper:
Radio link timeout counter, handover, power control etc.
Handover failure:
Q.6: Please Analysis of Causes of handover failure.
? missing neighbor or neighbor not defined
? parameter for the handover are not good
? Interference
Q.7: Introduce the software and test equipment you have used Software:
? TEMS product:TEMS9.1;8.14;8.03;
? Nemo
? Probe1.5,probe1.4;probe1.3; assistant analysis
? Mapinfo:9.0;8.5;7.0;
? actix analysis
Test mobile:
sonyerrisson: k800i; k790i; z750i; w600; w995
Nokia: 6680; N70; N80
Motorola: V3XX
Q.8: Introduce the mapinfo and googlearth.
? Check the site location from google earth or mapinfo
? check the entironment nearby the site and make a plan for the testing from goo
gle earth and mapinfo;
? analysis the logfile from mapinfo.
Q.9: how can analysis the logfile and make report.
? actix software analysis
? Tems software analsis
? assistant software analysis

Check coverage,quality ,handover and Throughput and so on
