Introduction:

Objectives

The purpose of the drive test to perform the RF design verification, identify
any coverage and quality problems to optimise WCDMA network
performance.

At this stage, the main focus is on fundamental end-to-end service

accessibility target (e.g. Calls set up and drop rates) and on performance
targets such as coverage related targets (such as CPICH RSCP and CPICH
Ec/No), and HSDPA/HSUPA speed performance.

For this case it was needed each other from drive test data collection and
also
Physical site changes like tilting, antenna orientation and antenna height.

Hardware:
• 1x Laptop
• 2x Smart Phones (2G/3G/LTE)
• 1x FDD Data Dongle (should be supporting 3G 42M)
• 1x TDD Data Dongle (should be supporting 3G 42M)
• 1x GPS (USB Receiver)
• 1x Car DC/AC Inverter
• 1x Car.
• 2x STC SIM Cards (Data & Normal) & 2x Mobily SIM Cards (Data & Normal)
Software:
• TEMS Investigation 14.x and above
• Map Tools (Map Info & Google Earth)
• Cell File

Drive Test Type

Site Verification
Individual cell verification test : To investigate detail of site performance by
checking all single sectors with AMR call and Throughput test. In addition also
required to perform small area dedicated test for Intra/Intercell HO.

Cluster Optimisation Normal Drive

To frame the potential area of the new site planned. Also to improve the important
neighboring sites for which the handover to be defined.

Cluster Optimisation Dedicated Drive

Performed call to the test number and drive to the potential area given to determine
i) call set up time
ii) call set up success
iii) drop call
iv) SHO

Site Verification:

When the site is completely integrated, Drive tester team will start to perform site
investigation.
The detail sub-activities are outlined below:

1. Rigging Audit
2. Site Verification
3. Site corrective action (cross feeder, inconsistent data, functionality problem, etc.)
4. Acceptance Test
The site has been built and integrated as planned and that the planned coverage has been
achieved

Site Verification:

New On Air Site Flow

New Site Integration

1. Consistency Check
Corrective Actions 2. Rigging Audit
3. Site Verification

All Tests Clear?

No
Yes

Site Acceptance

Site Verification:

• Voice / Video calls • Data / Throughput test

• HSDPA and HSUPA / Internet
• Verify on per cell basis for all Browsing
carriers: • Verify on per cell basis for all
• RSCP carriers:
• EC/No • RSCP
• Scrambling Code • EC/No
• LAC / RAC • Scrambling Code
• Cell ID • LAC / RAC
• Etc. • Cell ID
• Max/Ave Speed
• Etc.

Site Verification:

Static test
At the best radio location required to perform for all carriers
1. Voice call to determine if any call failure or block calls
2. Video call succesful
3. IRAT test for network reselection
4. Throughput R99/ HSDPA/HSUPA/Latency test using http / fttp and speedtest.
5. Internet browsing succesful

Mobility Test
1. Check intra cell HO in dedicated mode clockwise and anti clockwise 2 rounds for
each direction
2. Check inter cell HO in dedicated mode for the 1st layer per cell both ways.

Rigging Audit

Test Items in Rigging Audit: Rigging Tools :

Antenna Installation Verification - Safety Belt
- Azimuth - Compass
- Height - GPS
- Location - Measurement tape
- Cross-feeder/s - Digital Inclinometer

Site Audit required from the Rigger

1. Panoramic photos surrounding sites including antenna sectors/objective area

2. Ensure no blocking sectors from the main beam antenna
3. Antenna mechanical/electrical tilt was in correct value
4. Antenna was in correct orientation for the objective/target area
5. Site Height
6. Site Coordinates

Cluster Drive test Optimisation:

• Cluster Definition, Site Information Data and Site Location Map

• With Site/Cell ID, Site name, Primary SC, Neighbour list, RNC ID and Cluster
border highlighted
• Prepare Route Map for Drive Testing
• Perform drive test either Idle mode or Dedicated mode
• Identify Problematic Areas
• The result from the data will showing of Network performance such as
1. Drop call rate
2. Accessibility – mobile originated/terminated call set up success rate
3. Coverage – RSCP and Ec/No

-4-
Cluster Drive test Optimisation:

• The area which doesn't meet the criteria below is defined as "Problematic Area“

• Coverage Problem Area

Best Server’s CPICH RSCP < - 99 dBm

• Dominance Problem Area

Best Server’s CPICH Ec/No < -14 dB

• Pilot Pollution

4th Best Server’s CPICH RSCP > - 99 dBm
