Chapter 1 Principle and Purpose of CW Test

To obtain the radio propagation model compliant with the actual environment of the local area,
to improve the accuracy of the coverage prediction, and to make good preparation for the
network planning, the propagation model tuning is necessary. CW, continuous wave, test is the
important step in the model tuning. The data for the model tuning can be obtained through the
CW test and the digital map. The latitude and longitude information and the received signal
level constitute the data source for the model tuning.

1.1 Electromagnetic Wave Propagation Model in Mobile

Communication
1.1.1 Influencing Factors of the Electromagnetic Wave Propagation
The propagation model is the base of the cell planning in mobile communication network. The
accuracy of the propagation model is related to the rationality of the cell planning, and it is
also related to that whether the operators meet the subscriber's requirements with relatively
lower investment. Because of the wide land in our country, the propagation environments in
different provinces and cities are various. For instance, compared with that of the city in the
plain area, the propagation environments of the city in the hilly area are distinctively different,
and their propagation models are different from each other. Therefore, if considering only the
experiences but without considering the influences by different parameters, such as terrain,
clutter , constructions and the plant covers, the coverage and the quality problems will occur in
the established network, or the established NodeBs are in too high density, resulting in RF

 , In case the data record needs to be paused because the light or goeutton (pause key) of the

resource waste. With the rapid development of the mobile communication network in our
country, the operators pay more attentions to the matching problems between the propagation
models and the local environments. The propagation environment plays the key role in the
radio propagation model setup. The main factors that determine the propagation environment
of a specific area include:
1) Natural terrains (mountains, hills, plains, water areas, etc.);
2) Number, heights, distributions and material properties of the man-made constructions;
3) Plant coverage characteristics in the area;
4) Weather.
Furthermore, the radio propagation model is also influenced by the system working frequency
and the mobile station movement. In the same areas, if the working frequencies are different,
the received signal fading conditions will be different; the propagation environment of the
static mobile station is distinctively different from that of the fast moving mobile station.

1.1.2 Classification of the Electromagnetic Wave Propagation Model

The study on the propagation model can be divided into two types: one is the theoretical
analysis method based on the RF EM wave propagation theory; the other is the actually testing
statistics method based on quantities of test data and experience formulae.
In the mobile communication system, because the mobile station moves continuously, the
propagation channel is influenced not only by the Doppler effect, but also by the terrines and
the clutters. In addition, the own interference of the mobile system and the outside interference
cannot be neglected. Based on the above-mentioned properties of the mobile communication
system, it is difficult to realize strict theoretical analysis, it is usually required to approximate
and simplify the propagation environment, which will lead to big error of the theoretical
model. The most famous statistics model is the Okumura model, which is the propagation
model expressed in the curve diagram made through the statistics based on quantities of the
test data by Okumura in Japan. On the basis of the Okumura model, use the regression method

to simulate the analytic experience formula for the computer calculation. Those experience
formulae include the Okumura-Hata formula applied to GSM900 macro cell and the Hata
extension formula applied to DCS1800 macro cell. In addition, there are also the Walfisch
formula applied to the micro cell and the Keenan-Motley formula applied to the indoor
propagation environment. The calculations of these experience formulae are complicated and
with big or small errors with the actual environment. Therefore, in the actual field strength
prediction, the corrected Okumura-Hata model is usually taken as the prediction model. In the
planning software, the propagation model can be tunned after CW test according to the actual
local radio environment.

1.2 Characteristics of Radio Signal Propagation

The radio signal will be influenced in propagation by the multipath fading expressed by:
P(d)=Pt*d-nS(d)R(d) (1)
where,
P(d): received signal power, the function of the distance between the NodeB and the mobile
station; d-n: space propagation loss;
n: is usually 3 ~ 4;
S(d): shadow fading caused by the rolling terrain, the constructions and other obstacles in the
propagation environment, and it is also called long-term fading or slow fading;
R(d): multipath fading caused by the multipath propagation of the mobile propagation
environment, also called short-term fading or fast fading.
The property of slow fading agrees with the logarithm normal distribution, while fast fading
agrees with the Rayleigh distribution or the Ricean distribution. Fast fading is the fast jitter
overlapping on slow fading. Because the antenna height of the common mobile station is
lower than the height of the surrounding constructions, and the carrier wavelength is far

smaller than the construction size, the dynamic changing range of the signal in the distance of
half a wavelength can reach 40dB (higher than the mean value by 10dB, and lower than the
mean value by 30dB) at the sides of the mobile station.
For the mobile communication system, using formula (1) is not very convenient; in order to
carry out the analysis on the mobile communication propagation by means of the random
process theory, formula (1) can also be expressed as:
r(x) = m(x)r0(x) (2)

1.3 Purpose of CW Test

As described above, the electromagnetic wave propagation model is closely related to the
specific terrain and clutter. There is usually big error in the classic propagation theoretical
analysis, so the actual test statistics method is adopted in practice, that is, correct the
experience formula with quantities of test data; in this case, CW test is necessary. m(x) in
formula (3) is the mean value, which is the data expected to be measured and recorded in CW
test. It is the value most approximate to the predicted value of the propagation model. This
document describes only the collection method and flow of the test data required for the model
tuning, but not to discuss the tuning method of the experienced propagation model with the
actually tested data.
Note that, if the model parameters of the cities with the similar terrain and clutter are
available, they can be used directly in the coverage prediction. In this case, it is unnecessary to
repeat CW tests and model tuning, so as to save the human and the material resources.

1.4 Basic Principles of CW Test

Since the basic purpose of the CW test is to correct the electromagnetic wave propagation
model of an area by using the electromagnetic wave propagation test data of the typical area,
and to apply this model to the target area. Therefore, CW test should follow at least the two
basic principles below:
1) Typicalness. The collected test data must be typical enough to represent the
electromagnetic wave propagation property in this area. For example, there are
mountains and plains in an area, so the data collection should cover these two conditions.
Another example, in a test, if the satellite is blocked in GPS location, or there are high
constructions blocking at the near end of the transmission antenna, the bad data will
probably occur, and they must be filtered in the post-processing; otherwise they will

influence seriously the typicalness of the test data. The influencing factors of the
electromagnetic wave propagation properties in a certain area are extensive, including
terrain, clutter, etc., these factors should be considered in CW test.
2) Balance. The collected test data must reflect the electromagnetic wave propagation
properties of an area "in proportion". For example, in a certain area, the mountain area
takes 20% of the total area, and the plain area takes 80%, the test data should reflect this
proportion approximately for the purpose of weighting in important areas. In data
collection, besides the balance between terrain and clutter, the balance between distance,
height and direction should also be considered. For instance, in a CW test, if most test
data are collected within a range beyond 1000m away from the site, but few data are
collected within it, when the propagation model is tunned with the test data, the far end
(beyond 1000m) of the propagation model curve will be accurate, while the near end of
the curve is inaccurate . From this example, we can know that the balance of CW test is
closely related to the test purpose.
Some points of attention will be introduced in Part 2-CW Test Flow in this document, and they
are presented based on the basic principles, and the main purpose is to guarantee the accuracy
and the typicalness of the test data.

Chapter 2 CW Test Flow

There are 3 steps in the CW test: site selection, setup the test platform and drive test.

2.1 Site Selection

2.1.1 Site Selection Principle
In order to carry out the CW test, it is necessary to select an appropriate site to transmit RF
signal. Firstly, the CW test serves the planning of the business network , so its site selection
should follow the principle of the site selection of the business network, for instance, the
antenna height selection. Secondly, the following special principles for site selection should be
followed in CW test:
1) The site number. Before test, it is necessary to identify the test site location and the
number of sites. According to the general experiences, in the big city with dense
population, the test sites should be no less than 5; for the medium or small city, one site
is enough. This mainly depends on the antenna height of the test site and its EIRP .
2) Typicalness. The site selection principle is to make the station cover all types of clutters
in the planning area (The clutter types come from digital map.).
3) Multiple types of models. If multiple models are required to describe the propagation
properties of the test environment, the area corresponding to each model should be well
defined (e.g., different geographical conditions, distance by which the antenna is higher
than the clutter, etc.). Only in this case, the model of each area can be clearly marked;
meanwhile, the transition area between the models should be as small as possible.

4) Areas overlapping. Increase the measurement overlapping areas to the maximum;

however, ensure that the distance between the sites is appropriate.
5) Obstacles. If there are distinctive obstacles, they should be filtered in the data post-
processing. Furthermore, because of the limit of the installatihe temporary omni-
directional antenna will probably be installed at the building sides, thus the signals in the
other siides direction will probably be blocked by the building, and the building itself
becomes the obstacle. In this case, attention should be paid to the test route for the path
selection. Ensure that the test route is in the direction where the signals have not been
blocked and avoid to go into the shadow area.

2.1.2 Site Selection Criterion

In the actual tests, site selection can be carried out in convenience for the tests according to the
following criterion:
The antenna height should be set more than 20m and the antenna should be higher than the
nearest obstacle by more than 5m.
5m

The obstacle herein refers mainly to the highest building on the roof where the antenna is. As
the site, the building should be higher than the average height of the surrounding buildings.

2.2 Test Environment

After the site is selected, start to setup the test platform.
Transmit RF signal with the amplifier and the antenna, and receive it with the drive test
equipment. The transmission subsystems include transmission antenna, two pieces of feeders,
high power amplifier, RF signal source and antenna support. The receiving subsystems include
test receiver, GPS receiver, test software and portable computer.

, In case the data record needs to be paused because the light or goeutton (pause key) of the

In the post-processing of test data, the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the test site
is one of the input conditions. It is necessary to record the signal gain by each part of the CW
test environment diagram:
1) Tx power of the signal source;
2) the loss of RF cable 1 and 2;
3) amplifier gain;
4) Tx/Rx antenna gain.

Meanwhile, in the practice of the project, pay attention to the following:

1) The signal source. Adjust the Tx power to make the Tx power at the antenna interface be
between 5W and 20W (Since it is the individual tone signal transmitted, the receiving
sensitivity is high, which is usually 5W.). Before the test on the system, the initial Tx
power of the low signal source should be set to avoid the radiation damage.
2) The sum of the lengths of RF cable 1 and RF cable 2 should be bigger than 10m at least,
so as to ensure that the RF signal has little radiation on human body.
3) In the amplifier selection, pay attention to its gain, so as to ensure enough Tx power by
antenna, such as, bigger than 5W.
4) The omni-directional antenna is usually adopted as the Tx antenna.
5) The receiving antenna gain is usually 0dBi.
6) The antenna height is bigger than 20m, and higher than the roof by more than 5m, as
described in 2.1.
7) If there is no pole resource for the antenna post on the roof, the antenna support should
be prepared in advance.

2.3 Drive Test

2.3.1 Drive Test Flow

1) Test route selection

 The test route should agree with the principles as describe1421 below.
2) Start data collection by drive test equipment

2.3.2 Test Route

In the test route selection, divide the areas with the similar terrains and clutters according to
different geographical forms at first, or divide the areas according to the digital map
information, and then design the route according to:
1) Terrain: The test path must cover all the main terrains in the area.
2) Height: If the terrain in the area rolls up and down abruptly, the test path must cover the
terrains with different heights.
3) Distance: The test path must cover the positions in the area at different distances to the
site. Because the calibration distance of CW test is mainly in the influencing range of the
site, it is unnecessary for the test distance to exceed 2 times of the future cell radius.
For the drive test distance in the typical environment, refer to Table1.
4) Direction: The test numbers of the points in the longitudinal and in the latitudinal
directions should be consistent with each other, because when the mobile station is
within 3km away from the test site, the received signal will be influenced seriously by
the site surrounding building structures and the antenna height; the signal strength

, In case the data record needs to be paused because the light or goeutton (pause key) of the

parallel to the signal propagation direction differs from that vertical to the propagation
direction by about 10dB.
5) Length. The total route length of a CW test should be bigger than 60km. Note that
the test length herein refers to the route length after geographical averaging, and the
repeated route can only be calculated once. After the route is designed, the route length
can be read from the digital map.
6) Point Number. The more the test points, the better. Generally, it is better that the number
of the test points of each site should be more than 10000, or the test time should be over
4 hours.
7) Overlapping. The test paths of different sites can be overlapped to the maximum, so as to
improve the tunned model reliability.
8) Obstacle. When the antenna signal is blocked by the building at a side of the antenna,
the vehicle route should be arranged appropriately. Do not go into the shadow area
behind the building at this side.

2.3.4 Bad Data in Drive Test

The bad data (test results in abnormal conditions) must be removed from the sampling data,
for example, the test results in the following conditions::
 The fading exceeding 15~30db that can not be explained (e.g. the fading caused by
obstacles within 200m away from the site);
 In the tunnel;
 Under the viaduct.

2.4 Special Condition Treatment

2.4.1 Ec Test
If NodeB is available for an area to be tested, the CW test can be carried out by measuring Ec
value. In this case, note:
1) The receiver sensitivity is low, which limits the test range.
2) The receiver sampling frequency is low, which limits the maximum vehicle speed.

2.4.2 Directional Antenna

The discussion above is based on the condition that the omni-directional antenna is adopted in
CW test. To directional antenna, the test area should be selected from the main lobe coverage
area of the antenna.

Chapter 3 Test Result Analysis

The data file of the CW test result is the database file of "*. mdb". The text file can be
exported through Agilent drive test software, and then it will become a "*.dat" file after certain
format post-processing; finally, it can be imported into ASSET for model tuning.

Appendix 1: Guideline for CW Test Tool

Operation
The drive test equipment of Agilent E7476A is adopted for the receiving subsystem of CW test
to collect data; this equipment provides a dedicated module for CW test. The operation steps
of CW test are described below:

Hardware Connection
E7476A is a signal receiver with embedded in GPS, but it requires a portable computer to
install its control software. In the test, plug a hardware security key in the portable computer.
The entire equipment connection diagram is as follows:
