Explanation: Tems Investigation: Drive Test
In general, Drive Test can be define as a methode that used to verify the actual condition of RF
signal certain operator at certain place.
Several functions of drive test :
- Analyzing customer complaint of certain operator in their home or office area
- Finding problem in BTS ( Timeslot Check, TRX Check, Swap Feeder)
- Analyzing the result of optimization process (continuity and all of area)
There are softwares can be used for drivetest that installed on laptop. TEMS Investigation
(Ericsson), NEMO (Nokia).
Here the steps to start learning drivetest with TEMS Investigation :
a. Drive Test Equipment
1. TEMS Handset (complete with Charger, Headset, Data Cable) and USB Hub
5. Scanner for WCDMA (Ext Antenna GPS and RF, Data Cable)
6. Inverter and Terminal
- Map Configurations
1. On layer control remove all layer except Pinpoint, Cell, Event, AMR, RF Quality and
Coverage layer
2. Add layer Route, Road, MCOM Site, and other *.tab
3. Save Geoset
4. Load Cell file : Configuration -> General -> Cellfile Load
5. Use Cell Definition File then choose cell file
i.e “120/15” means 120 second on call then call end, 15 second wait and then call again.
1. Loop Start give the number of repetition for command below the loop start (General -> Loop
Start)
2. Dial select the MS and give the destination number (Voice -> Dial)
Video Call CS
In general cs for video call is same as voice call, but in video call in dial command we must add
“v”.
i.e
Loop Start
Dial v081384760975
Wait 120
End Call
Wait 15
Loop End
D. DRIVE TEST
1. Configure Recording Properties : Menu Tab Logfile -> Recording Properties
2. Select recording folder : Click Browse -> Select Directory
3. Select Quick logging and setup size of swap file “after reaching message “
4. Use 2G or 3G configured workspace (with spacific map : road, route, cell file)
5. Make sure all equipments configured to the right port
6. Connect all
7. After all equipments connected (symbol green), window gps, serving neighbour gsm, current
channel and events will be full filled
8. Don’t forget to lock TEMS Handset into GSM only or 3G only.
9. To start drive test, click record then start command sequence
10. After all route complete, wait untill call end then stop command sequence and stop recording.
Here the flow step by step Go Drive Test !!!
6. Save *.mex
7. Choose Logfile : Click Browse file
8. If there are more than one logfile we can merge it by Merge Output
9. Choose Output directory : Click Browse dir
10. Give Prefix : Ded if Dedicated and Idle if Idle
11. Start process, click start
14. Open the exported file into MapInfo : Menu Tab File -> Open
15. Create Thematic Map : Menu Tab Map -> Create Thematic Map
16. Choose Type -> Range
17. Template Name -> Region Ranges
18. Choose Table and Field (ie. Plotting RXQUAL_SUB from Dedicated mode)
EVENTS on RXQUAL_SUB
21. Create Events on RXQUAL_SUB
22. Open again the exported file (Ded_orinaica)
23. Create Thematic Map : Menu Tab Map -> Create Thematic Map
24. Choose Type -> Individual
25. Template Name -> Region IndValue Default
26. Choose Table and Field
27. Customize Style and Legend
32. See table structure of CI in exported file : Manu Tab Table -> Maintenance -> Table Structure
-> View/Modify Table choose exported file (ie. Ded_orinaica) -> Change type structure of CI
33. Click OK
34. Create Spider Graph : Tools -> Spider Graph -> Spider Graph
35. Choose Origin and Destination table
36. Save the Spider Graph table : Save Copy As -> (ie. orinaica)
37. From Spider Graph, We can analyze :
- Dominant Cells
- Overshoot Cells
- Swap Feeder
G. TROUBLESHOOTING :
- 2G Frequency Scanning
Purpose : to verify level signal each BCCH ARFCN plan
1. Lock BCCH ARFCN certain sector : Click Toolbar Lock on Channel (ie. Check TRX Sector 1,
Lock BCCH 111)
2. Disable Handover : Click Toolbar Disable Handover
3. See MAIO on Current Channel window
1. Lock BCCH ARFCN each sector : Click Toolbar Lock on Channel (ie. BCCH Sect 1 = 547,
Sect 2 = 540, Sect 3 = 543 )
2. Set HO Target : Equipment Properties -> Dedicated Mode -> Function -> Target HO (ie. BCCH
547, 540, 543)
