    Drive testing and analysis involves collecting radio frequency (RF) performance data using specialized equipment to analyze network coverage, capacity, and quality of service issues. The data is used to identify areas needing RF optimization through techniques like antenna tilting, height adjustments, power level changes, adding or removing neighboring cells, and equipment upgrades. The goal is to ensure adequate coverage, manage interference, balance traffic loads, and improve call quality across the network.

    Drive Test & Analysis

    Drive Test Equipment


    • Drive test Tools ,UE’s, Scanner and GPS can be used
    – The Scanner measures all used carriers/cells and their corresponding DL scrambling
    codes,
    – UE only measures SC signals from the cells that the system has informed/ordered the
    UE through the BCH (neighbour list) or via the “measurement control” msg.
    UE: Scanner:
    • RSCP Active/Monitored Set • For low coverage areas
    • Carrier RSSI • For Antenna Installation problems
    • Ec/No Active/Monitored Set • For Missing neighbours
    • UL/DL Data Throughput • For Coverage optimisation
    • The BLER downlink • With Scanner you can get following info from
    • Random Access Initial Tx Power the surrounding cells:
    • Random Access Preamble Count & Step – Different Scrambling codes
    • SIR target (UE dependent) – CPICH RSCP value (dbm)
    • UE Tx Power – CPICH Ec/No value (dbm)
    • Call Statistic: AMR, CS and PS data calls
    • CQI
    • Modulation techniques

    Important to drive with call logging equipment and 3G/2G scanner in the same van
    Optimization Check needed before Starting Drive
    Test.
    • Parameter Consistency Check(site creation & default parameter values)
    • CELL/NODEB/RNC level Alarms check.
    • Prx noise(Uplink Interference or RTWP check) Ranges between -102dbm to -105 dbm.
    • Cell Availability Check(Site Down ).
    • Cell barred.
    • Proper neighbour definition.
    • Drive Test Route preparation for Cluster level Drive Test.
    • For cluster level Drive test 90% or above site should me On Air and Alarm Free.

    C A

    D
    B
    Coverage and Dominance Problem
    Coverage and Dominance Problem
    Block A:- The Area which is having bad RSCP <-95dbm
    and poor EC/no will be considered as poor coverage
    /problematic Area.
    Requirement for Analysis:- for optimizing this we
    require RSCP & EC/NO plot of best server. And RSCP Vs.
    EC/NO plot
    •Solution:- Antenna Tilting, change of Height of antenna
    •Increase CPICH power.
    •Antenna Type change( replace with High gain antenna)
    •Check any missing neighbor & Cross Feeder
    Block B:- Here the problematic Area is having RSCP >-
    95dbm but EC/NO <-10dbm
    Requirement for Analysis:- for optimizing this we
    require RSCP & EC/NO plot of best server.
    EC/NO plot for each Scrambling code.
    •Solution:- Antenna Tilting, change of Height of antenna
    •Increase CPICH power of serving cell, Decrease CPICH
    of Interfering cell
    •Antenna Type change( replace with Low gain antenna)
    •Check any missing neighbor.
    •Check CO scrambling Code.
    Coverage and Dominance Problem

    Block C:- Here the problem is the EC/NO of 4th best server is <6db
    as compared to best Server.
    Requirement for Analysis:-
    EC/NO plot for all serving cell in Active set and 4th and 5th best
    server from either monitoring /Detected set.
    Solution:- Antenna Tilting, change of Height of antenna
    •Increase CPICH power of serving cell, Decrease CPICH of
    Interfering cell
    •Antenna Type change( replace with Low gain antenna)
    Missing Neighbor analysis

    Here we have checked Best


    serving cell as per scanner
    which is SC 485 but UE is
    latched to SC 504 and the
    neighbor from SC 504 to SC
    485 is not defined so the call
    drop occur due to missing
    neighbor.
    Cross feeder analysis
    In this Case in the Defined
    coverage area of SC 130 we are
    getting coverage of 128 and in
    the planned coverage of 128
    we are getting coverage of 130.
    So we suspect Cross feeder
    between Sector 1 and sector 3.

    Problems Caused by cross feeder can be:-


    1. High handover Failure.
    2. High Call Drop.
    3. Poor Dominance.
    Optimization principal
    Pilot pollution
    When the Number of Candidates eligible of Active set becomes greater than the
    active set size then Pilot pollution occurs.
    Recommendation & Solution of Pilot pollution

    • perform scanning (via drive test)


    • Locate pollutant area
    • Do Neighbor list verification
    – Remove neighbors those are not measured but are in
    Neighbor list
    – Add missing neighbor
    • Check pollutant, whether it’s from overshooting
    site or site nearby
    • Check and Adjust physical configuration
    • Check and Adjust CPICH Power
    RTWP(Received total wideband power)
    • RTWP can be caused by bad weather, feeder broken, port
    feeder broken, or traffic fluctuation (load).
    Time Propagation (TP)
    • TP use for checking overshoot sites
    • 1 unit TP equals to 234m in distance.
    • In NSN system we check PRACH report.
