NETWORK PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENT FOR DRIVE TESTING DRIVE TEST PROCESS DRIVE TEST OUTPUTS MEASUREMENT METRICS DRIVE TEST ANALYSIS NEPTUNE AND PROBE
General Consideration
Routes chosen to be representative of the part of the network under study If possible simultaneously collect GSM speech and GPRS drive test data Drive test to be carried out during normal daylight hours Calls to be made preferably mobile-to-PSTN Call duration to be equal to the average call duration for the network At least 1000 calls required for good statistical confidence
Optional Features
Walk test support On line map display of the route Scan feature
Display
Using the drive test equipment we can monitor the following Status Information Error reports Layer 2 messages Layer 3 messages
Display..
Status Information General Information: Includes Latitude ,longitude data, server call name, Marker ,data, time , log file name etc Serving cell: Includes Cell Identity, BSIC, ARFCN ,MCC, MNC, LAC Serving + Neighbor cell data: Includes CI, BSIC, ARFCN, Rxlev Dedicated channel:Includes Channel number, Timeslot number, Channel type,hopping information Radio Environment: Includes serving cell, Rxlev, Rxqual, TA, DTX and RL Timeout counter information
Display..
Error reports Errors reported during a call can be analyzed from this report Layer 2 messages Layer 2 messages can be analyzed Layer 3 messages Layer 3 messages can be analyzed
Measurement Metrics
Analysis Types
Coverage Analysis: Level Analysis Quality Analysis Interference Analysis: Co-channel and adjacent channel interference Handover Analysis: HSR and HFR Neighbor Analysis: Missing neighbors Call Analysis: DCR,CSSR,CSR,Call Setup time,Call hold time etc. Layer 2 Analysis Layer 3 Analysis
Level Analysis
The level statistics refer to the received signal level for a mobile: Level (Full) Distribution (between -47 and -110) Level (Sub) Distribution (between -47 and -110) Cumulative Level Distribution Level Banding
RxLev Distribution
RxQual
-Quality full and Sub distribution for both hopping and non- hopping samples -Cumulative Quality Distribution -Interference
Handover Analysis
Problem areas are automatically identified Handover success/failure is shown on route Position failure is located on XY graph Cause/solution proposed for each failure Step-by-step replay control allows every stage of handover to be broken down for detailed analysis Forced Handover
Handover Stats
Handover Distribution - The
number of Inter and intra cell handovers attempted, completed and failed
Neighbour Analysis
The serving cells ID and full geographic location The ID and full geographic location of the Neighbour cells that are either missing or have not been measured Problem areas are separately displayed on the 2D map view
Call Analysis
Analysis of live calls, call success, signal levels and call quality can be done Mean and worst call levels, quality, detailed comparative summary of cells signal strengths, analysis of sites
Call Statistics
Call Distribution - Evaluates every call and categorizes it as a Good Call or a No setup call Call Holding Time - Displays the duration of each call. Call Performance - Details for the Setup rate, Failure rate and Release rate. Call Setup - Time Distribution Call Timers
Call Performance
Cell Statistics
Cell Domination Cell poor Quality Distribution Cell Average Quality Distribution Cell Average Level Distribution Cell Mean Call Holding Time Cell average TA Distribution
Neptune Features
State-of- the-art PC based optimization tool delivering real time analysis capabilities User friendly with intuitive menu structure making it ideal for both real-time and post measurement analysis Automatic fault finding and problem solving diagnostic capabilities Live call analysis Statistical and graphical display Long and short term cost savings due to competitive pricing and the substantial shortening of the optimization process. Supports additional testmobile formats, which can be loaded and analyzed
Probe
Has ability to perform time-based, operator based and distance based analysis Statistics generated show the system s problems as a whole rather than pinpointing each and every problem
Features
Ideal for both real-time and post measurement analysis Displays a networks Key Performance Indicators Key Performance Indicators are combined to produce the Network Quality and Efficiency Factor Statistical and graphical display Long and short term cost savings due to competitive pricing and the substantial shortening of the optimization process Flexible hardware option
