Overview

DT is a method to collect

air interface data.

The target is to know network performance and location the

network problem to improve the overall quality.

There are three ways to obtain network information

OMC traffic statistics

Drive test (DT) & Call quality test (CQT) Subscribers feedback

Attention:
Check whether the GPS is in NEMA mode or in NEMA 4800 mode. Check whether the GPS is in analog mode or normal mode

Target and Index

Connectivity / Coverage / Call drop / Voice Quality

Connected ratio

Connected ratio = total connected times/attempted calls *100% Call drop rate = call drop times/total connected times *100% Coverage rate = ( -94dBm test road kilometers)/total test road kilometers*100% According to bit error rate, 8 classes, from 0 to 7. The calculation of voice quality depends on actual conditions. Voice quality = [Rxqual (class 0)% + Rxqual (class 1)% + Rxqual (class 2)%]*1 + [Rxqual (class 3)% + Rxqual (class 4)%]*0.8 +[ Rxqual (class 5)% + Rxqual (class 6)%]*0.5 + Rxqual (class 7)%*0.2

Call drop rate

Call drop ratio per kilometer

Call drop ratio per kilometer = ( -94dBm test road kilometers)/total call drop times

Preparation

Equipment Connect the devices and test to make sure the system operation well. Check the power of test mobile and charge it Prepare the charger for GPS and PC Map Electrical map is better Update your map all the time Engineer parameter Make sure the engineer data is precise and comprehensive as possible as you can Adjust the format to input the test software Make sure the geographic display of distribution of sites Setup Confirm test number Confirm talk time and break time Discuss with customer or base on your requirement Path Communication with customer Based on test requirement

Scenario - based on demand

Evaluation test of the whole network

Target

overview of the network performance

Key point
Suggestion

signal level and speech quality of whole network

Select roads and areas as much as you can. Cover the coverage area of three cells of each sites

approximate proportion of transverse road and lengthwise road

Traffic Statistics VIP Complaint Expected Key Area

Scenario - based on demand

Compare test in swap project

Target

Coverage and quality of current network are not worse than that of the original one

Key point

signal level and speech quality of each site Handover zone between two sites

Suggestion

Test route should be confirmed with customer

Test road and equipment setup should be the same before and after In test before swap, clear the distribution of subscribers and remark TA of traffic centre of each cell
The location of test mobile The condition of weather The period of time

Scenario - based on demand

Check test after cutover (Single Site Verification)

Target

the operation of site is ok

Key point

connectivity and handover is normal Signal level and interference band is normal

Suggestion

Single site test adopt round trip and cycle trip Check the project implement correct Make a call to check the speech problem

Scenario - based on demand

Trouble shooting test

Exceptional event processing

call drop/handover failure/access failure and so on Step1check signal level and quality

signal level is lower

~ TA is over great compared with average radius. ~ No primary serve cell ~ check the set-top power

~ check propagation environment

quality is bad - find interference source handover is abnormal -check neighbor/check parameter

Step2: check signaling Predict the reason and plan how to verify. You should consider each possibility

Means

Interference

Adjacent channel - frequency scanning

Co-channel

Force handover Lock or shut down TRX Lock BCCH and forbid handover

External interference

spectrum analyzer
Directional Antenna

Handover zone

Round trip along the linear path between two cell Lock the kit onto the BCCH frequency and test in idle mode along the direction of main lobe

Coverage area

Inverse connection

Cycle trip around site
