What is Drive Test?
• The Drive Test is a test performed in cellular networks regardless of technology (GSM, CDMA,
UMTS, LTE, etc. ...) usually Performed in order to Analyze and optimize the Network Quality.
• Drive Test is used to analyze and optimize the network quality.
• Although by the analysis of KPI's we can identify problems of Parametrical Issues e.g. (CDR,
Interference, Traffic etc. etc….) while the drive tests allow a deeper analysis in the field.
Identifying areas of each sector of coverage, interference, evaluation of network changes and
various other parameters.

Drive Test Types:
• Performance Analysis
• Integration of New Sites and change parameters of Existing Sites
• Marketing
• Benchmarking
Performance Analysis:
Tests for Analysis Performance is the most common, and usually made
into clusters (grouping of cells), ie, an area with some sites of interest.
They can also be performed in specific situations, as to answer a
customer complaint.

New Site Verification:
When the site is completely integrated , Drive tester team will start to perform site
investigation.
The detailed sub-activities are outlined below:
1. Rigging Audit
2. Site Verification
3. Functionality Test’s
4. Acceptance Test

Static Test:
Audio Call:
Performed number of calls as defined by the operator on all the three
sectors of sites in order to determine if any call failure , dropped or
blocked is found.
Video Call:
Just Like Audio Calls number of video calls are also performed on all
the three sectors of sites in order to determine if any call failure , dropped or
blocked is found. Video call found should be successful.
It Takes 64kb/s data to transmit a call.

Static Test:
HSUPA:
High Speed Uplink packet access is the total speed on a uplink channel Ideally
on single carrier HSUPA will Provide Data Rate upto 5Mb/s and for Dual carrier as
like on Zong It is Providing double than that/
Large and Huge Data Contained Files are uploaded Via Http or FTP to perform this
test.
HSUPA always used E-DCH Channel.

Cell Reselection:
• This test is performed to check weather
our cell is camping to better serving cell
or not in Ideal mode while moving from
one node B to another or one Sector to
another.
• Specific Threshhold level will be
adjusted for this parameter. It
Commonly depends upon the RSCP
and EcNo.
Mostly If EcNo Exceeds <-14 it will
Reselect a new cell.
• Forcefully Test:
WCDMA to forcefully on GSM
from Inter Radio access technology option
and then Back to WCDMA Ue should not
exceeds from 2secs while reselecting a
WCDMA cell from No Service mode to
RRC Eastablished.

Inter Radio Access Technology Test Tells us in case we are in dedicated mode
and some where coverage levels of WCDMA are degraded or we are coming
out from the coverage area of WCDMA then our call instead of Dropping simply
switched on to a GSM Network.
Same like in this test we will check weather our cell is properly mapped with 2G
desired cell and MSC or not and is properly switching to GSM or not.

Radio Parameters:
CPICH Ec/No:
Chip Energy by Noise. Common Pilot channel EcNo is the ratio of the energy of the
chip and the combined power of all the signals including the specific pilot channel. It also
shows the level of Noise disrupting the specific CPICH.
CPICH RSCP:
Received signal Code Power is the level of the signal received by the U.E. or in
simple RSCP is the total power of the entire cell or a specific Common Pilot Channel
received by the user Equipment.
Ranges of RSCP:
-30 to -75 Good
-75 to -85 Acceptable
-85 to -140 Bad

Radio Parameters:
Tx Power:
Tx Power is the transmitting power of the mobile station. Its value can vary from
50 to -50.
The minimum the Tx Power of the mobile station the better it is for call quality.
Tx Power is the power of mobile station only measured in the dedicated mode and
commonly mobile will support the call in case when you are in a low coverage area it
will increase its own power to support your call avoiding Droped.
RSSI:
Received Signal Strength Indicator is the total power of the entire common pilot
channel received by the Mobile station Including Neighbours interference and noise
as well of Neighbours and it self also.
RSSI= RSCP + EcNo
RSSI Ranges:
0 to -75 Good
-75 to -85 Acceptable
-85 to -140 Bad

Radio Parameters:
SIR:
Signal to Interferance ratio is the ratio of
energy in the DPCC ( Dedicated Physical
control channel) to that of the interferance
and noise received by the User Equipment.
Target SIR:
It is the target signal to interferance ratio
that Mobile Equipment is supposed to
achieve by increasing or decreasing its
power. It is usually Set by the use of Power
Control Procedure.

Radio Parameters:
SQI:
It is the speech quality index which is a parameter to rate the
voice quality on that particular call. It ranges from 0 to 30. while
30 being the Best Value.
Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) is also used to enhanced the speech
or the voice quality of the specific call.
WCDMA use AMR Sourc Coding.
AMR vary with different Ranges Highest AMR Value is 12.20 and
lowest AMR value is 4.75.
RRC State:
It tells the current state and channel as in idle or dedicated.
Mode:
It is the Mode that We are Using Weather GSM or WCDMA.

Cell I.D:
This is the Identity or name given to a particular Node B and its cells by the
operator.
UARFCN:
Universal Absolute radio Frequency channel Number is the frequency band
allotted to the operator. One Spectrum band width is of 5MHz in WCDMA or 3G.
Frequency for Uplink allotted to all the operators vary between 1920 to 1980
MHZ.
While
Frequency for Downlink allotted to all the operators vary between 2110 to 2170
MHZ.

Serving and Active Set + Neighbour:
Cell Name:
Specific Name of the Node B alloted by the Operator according to its location and Serial value.
Scrambling Codes:
Scrambling Codes are usually used to identified different cells of a node B.
They are of Two types.
1- Secondary Scrambling Code
2- Primary Scrambling Code

Serving + Neighbours
AS:
Set of Scrambling codes on which the user equipment is currently latched on and
there can be at least maximum three scrambling's codes in a Active Set.
MN:
Neighbor cell that is detected by user equipment as a neighbor. Soft and Softer
Handover decision should be taken by measuring the Stronger RSCP and EcNo
then that of Active Set at least 32 Neighbor cells can be added in a single 3g site.
DN:
It is also the neighbor cell which is detected by the U.E but is not defined in our
network. Hence the U.E does not handover onto these cells. It can be because of
Overshooting, incomplete neighbor list or in case of a new site, It is very important
to optimize a network and have no DN’s as they are one of the major reasons of call
drops in 3G.
