Rigger will make corrections on site and inform Drive Test Engineer
Drive Test Engineer will create the drive routes & configure the
Smart S4 mini as per defined test scenarios
Drive Test Engineer will save the log file. In case of handoff fail, bad
RSRP, call drop etc., inform respective teams immediately
Summary
Strictly follow all the health & safety guidelines
SCFT verifies the availability and desired performance of a site
SCFT involves physical & parameter check of eNodeB, corrections if needed,
followed by a drive test around the site
SCFT team consists of an DT engineer, Rigger and Car driver with well-defined
roles and responsibilities for all
Quiz
You find that the antenna azimuth is incorrect. You will _________
Correct it, log and report the error and then proceed with drive test

Checklist
Ensure that the site is verified as per TSSR/Cell ref file, any deviation need to
report Samsung immediately
Attached annexure-1 for the same to be filled up and handed over to SOLPAR
PM, who later sends it over to Samsung RF manager.
In case of any deviation in the same it needs to be corrected in cell ref file/field
before proceeding for the drive.
If its a RP1 site and On field data does not match with cell ref file then no need
to rectify physical parameter at field but need to correct only cell ref file.

Summary
Perform regular testing of drive-test UEs
Preparations for SCFT consist of TSSR review, eNB parameter verification from
LSM-R, availability of drive route and checklists. Before proceeding to the site
make sure you have these
TSSR gives details about eNB physical parameters such as antenna height,
azimuth, tilt, pictures of obstruction, site drawings and map views
LSM-R parameters include details such as VSWR, Tx power and PCI
Ensure FTP connectivity before proceeding to site
Cover all sectors during the drive
Drive Test
Drive test engineer will start the drive test activity with stationary test.
Move over to Alpha sector and perform following activities
Latch on alpha sector PCI and RSRP, it should have a stable dominant RSRP
level from serving cell, and neighbor cells should not be dominant.
Check GPS status and select destination value of co-ordinates from map
window.
Assign Stationary-1 call setting with Cycle information & site details, (CYCLE
should remain the same until the complete SCFT test (STATIONARY & MOVING)
ends), if you have to restart the test cause of any issue then issue new and
different cycle number, but it should be same for stationary and moving test
(ideally it should be incremented by 1, every time you repeat the test on same
site), cycle is a reference for naming the log files.
Moving Test
After completion of Stationary test now the DT has to go for the Moving test, drive test
engineer will use two S4 mini handsets.
There will be two different tests that shall be performed on these handsets.
Moving test call logging should start by performing a walk test around the site in clockwise and
anticlockwise direction for checking the inter-sector handover within the SCFT site and checking
the correct PCI as seen in cell reference file.
Drive test engineer will carry out the remaining part of moving test while in car in a continuous
log.
Keep checking the PCI of serving cell so as to confirm handover between neighbors of same site.
Move from Alpha sector to Beta sector to check handover between them.
Move from Beta sector to Gamma sector to check handover between them.
Move from Gamma sector to Alpha sector to check handover between them.
Move from Alpha sector to Gamma sector to check handover between them.
Move from Gamma sector to Beta sector to check handover between them.
Move from Beta sector to Alpha sector to check handover between them.
Make Coverage footprint of each sector in all possible drive routes based on Morphology based RSRP
Levels.
After finishing the clockwise / anti-clockwise routes, You must run through DTR (Drive test route) provided
to you by Samsung RF lead
NOTE : Samsung RF lead has to provide DTR based on best server plot , as per example attached below. Or
Alternately Samsung RF lead must follow procedures provided by National RF Optimization team to prepare
DTR , This is Mandatory
Moving Test
Important: If handovers are not happening between neighbor cells then stop the drive
and call up LSMR engineer for handover definition or any alarms related to the same,
and resume the drive, post the resolution of the same.
SCFT Tool
(XCAL mobile - software version v4.09.139 )
Operational Process
Please follow below step by step process, in order to conduct SCFT automation
process on XCAL Auto call
Only 1 mobile is used for Stationary test.
The screenshots are only applicable to handset software version v4.09.139
Start Samsung S-4 Mini testing handset.
After the upload is done for Stationary 1 test, it will prompt for Do you want
to perform Stationary 2. Now go for stationary 2(Beta sector) test.
Press Start under Autocall in both handsets. Check the traffic should get
started on both handset .
This will automatically upload the logs after every test scenario.
Instead of pressing Ok if you choose to cancel or mistakenly press cancel then
you need to upload logs manually as explain next slide
check the FTP server connectivity in your phones, check the IP address, user id
and password and server path as shown below.

Summary
Work Order Assignment Management is also called as WAS.
AM receives SCFT trigger once ATP11B process is completed.
AM assigns SCFT Task to Samsung Optimizer & Samsung RF Head.
AM distributes(assigns) Perform SCFT Task to SOLPAR PM.
SOLPAR PM will further assign Perform SCFT task to SOLPAR FE(DT
Engineer).
SOLPAR FE has to accept this task from SOLPAR PM and follow below steps.
a)SOLPAR FE will conduct SCFT task using Mobile device(eg:S4 Mini) to
complete and upload test data to FMS server(separate process)
b)SOLPAR FE will input parameter changes(if any) to siteforge server and
submits it for Samsung Optimizer approval.
Samsung Optimizer will accept or reject according SCFT test data available in
FMS server and flow continues.
Overall WAS Improves productivity & complete visibility.
