Io
Io* = The sum total of all of these signals + any background noise (dBm)

Ec1 Ec2
From the previous two measures we can calculate a signal quality for
each CPICH (SC) received
Ec/Io = Ec - Io (dB)
Io=-80dBm
From the above three measurements we can calculate for each pilot
the Ec level for that particular pilot
Ec1 = -80 - 5 = -85dBm
Ec2 = -80 - 10 = -90dBm

For both softer and soft it is the Ec/Io levels used to determine whether
a cell should be added or removed from the active set

These levels are the levels that should be achieved at the roof of the
vehicle
If these levels are not achieved then inbuilding coverage will be poor
Further optimisation with lower coverage levels is very difficult

Even with good Ec levels, some areas will never provide reliable
PS384 simply due to cell overlaps. It seems unclear whether a mature
network may ever provide a full 384 footprint.
Conclusion: 384 requires an optimised network

First stage is to run the KPI reports, then follows this with more
detailed analysis.
If the route meets the RF KPIs theres no point doing further analysis
