    Drive Route Checklist

  • Drive Route Basics

    All sectors to be covered during the test

    Carry a hardcopy of the drive route direction, while DT reaches the

    Instruct the driver to follow the drive route

  • Drive Route Guidelines

    Best server plot Drive route to be collected by SOLPAR DT engineer from Circle RF Lead before he reaches the site.

    All motorable roads covering all three sectors of the site are to be driven. The motorable roads which are not accessible or cant be driven due to any blockage should be captured with a snapshot for proof.

    If SCFT is performed on a standalone site then each sector to be driven up to serving cell RSRP as per morphology in the main lobe as defined in under mentioned table:

    Morphology Type Coverage Threshold (RSRP dBm)

    Dense Urban -107

    Medium Urban -110

    Suburban -113

    Rural -116

    Morphology RSRP levels

  • Drive Route Guidelines..

    If SCFT is done on a site that is not a standalone site and the neighbor site is radiating then the drive route should be done until the handover happens with the neighbor site, but if the Neighbor site is not radiating then the drive should be done until neighbor site.

    The stationary test should only be done in the main lobe of serving antenna DT Engineer will instruct the car driver for the direction to be followed based on pre-

    defined drive route based on GPS location in drive test tool. Engineer will carry the drive route handmade copy, during the SCFT test.

    Drive Test Route Sample

  • Drive Route Example

    Major Road

    More than one lane

    Important road that leads from

    one town or city to another

  • 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

  • Physical Checks at Site

  • Physical checks during site survey

    Physical verification of site with respect to data given in TSSR/Cell ref. Need to check under mentioned points.

    Once DT engineer reaches the site he should validate the PCI as seen on field with cell ref file and then perform a walk test around the site in clockwise and anticlockwise direction for checking the inter-sector handover and correct PCI as seen in cell ref: file.

    Site location in terms of Lat/Long, Site name and address, Antenna azimuth, Antenna height, Antenna Tilt (Mechanical Tilt), Antenna physical blockage in main/side lobe (if any) & Tower type.

    If there is any deviation in actual versus TSSR/Cell ref then SOLPAR engineer will try to rectify it on field with due permission from Samsung RF lead and if he is unable to do so then the same shall be informed to Samsung and the DT should move over to the next site.

    If the deviation cannot be corrected as confirmed by Samsung RF lead, then the same has to be updated in site forge by the DT engineer.

  • Physical checks during site survey

    Only after completing physical verification and passing the same SOLPAR engineer will start performing SCFT activity.

    In case of tower/antenna access issue from bird nests, honeybees comb etc. the corresponding Samsung area manager should be informed and DT should move to the next site.

    SCFT once started should be completed within the same day, until and unless there is some constraint that is making the process shift to other day.

    Physical blockage in direction of serving antenna should be noted and snapshot should be taken. The same comment with snaps has to be updated in the SCFT report by SOLPAR project manager. The SCFT has to be carried on however.

  • Measuring Site Co-ordinates Check the battery of GPS (72 channel GPS)

    Point GPS towards clear, open skies for accuracy

    GPS Setting time >5 min & GPS number of satellites > 4

    Low Battery voltages and rare Geomagnetic storms may result in erroneous GPS readings

    GPS should not be used for Ground Elevation readings as the inaccuracy can be well over 30m

    Stand in the center of the site location (GBM, RTT,RTP)

    Once the satellites are acquired, note co-ordinates for N & W in degree - decimal format.

    Update this information into check list for pre-post comparison and for database tracking

  • Checking Antenna Azimuth

    Stand in front of the Antenna

    When taking compass readings, keep at least 8m distance from any magnetic, metal, or current carrying structures such as towers, vehicles, or cables for correct readings

    Open compass and wait a moment till the compass needle is stationary

    Check the antenna azimuth with reference to North & measure the value in degrees

    Compare the observed value with the one in the TSSR

    In case a mismatch is detected, make corrections on site

    Mention the values in the check list for pre-post comparison and for database tracking

  • Check Azimuth marking on map

    Check the service direction of the antenna

    Mark the main serving direction of the antenna on the map

  • Tower Height Measurement Laser Meter

    Stand on the edge of tower

    Press start button and then press measure button

    Wait for 2-3 minutes or check the ground or building from the built-in binoculars in the laser meter

    Press the measure button again

    Take pictures of the value in meters

  • Tower Height Measurement - Tape

    Drop the measuring tape from the edge of the tower platform

    Team member at the ground end will record the value

  • Antenna Height RTP / RTT

  • Antenna Height GBT / GBM

    Compare the value on TSSR with actual result

    Correct the Antenna Height if mismatch with TSSR Report

  • Antenna Mechanical Tilt Measurement

    Bring tilt measure in contact with antenna on the back side & center()

    Adjust the tilt measure () to level off ()

    Check tilt of antenna (), as per the picture red line is on 3rd mark from zero, which means that the tilt is 6 degrees {one mark = 2 degree and consider the bottom scale}

    Compare the value on TSSR with actual result

    Correct the Mechanical Tilt in case of mismatch with the TSSR Report

    Mention the values into check list for pre-post comparison and for database tracking

    To change tilt, loosen all nuts, adjust tilt as desired and then tighten them

  • Drive Test

  • SCFT Drive Test

    After completing physical verification, SOLPAR engineer will start performing drive test.

    Drive test to be performed on all motorable roads.

    The mobiles need to be attached on car dashboard while doing drive test.

    Check FMS server connectivity to site by downloading test scenarios on XCAL Auto Mobile over mobile.

    SCFT drive test activity has two type of tests.

    1. Stationary Test

    a. Attach

    b. VOLTE Short call

    2. Moving Test

    a. FTP -DL

    b. FTP -UL

  • Stationary Test ( Alpha Sector)

    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.

    Stationary Test Procedure:

  • Stationary Test( Alpha Sector)

    Perform under mentioned test by pressing AUTO CALL over the s4 mini phone.

    . Stationary Test

    a. Attach

    b. VOLTE Short call

    At the end of Auto call press status as In Progress.

    Press Auto DRM/DRX Upload button which is popped up & wait for upload to finish.

  • Stationary Test(Beta Sector)

    Drive test engineer now moves over towards Beta sector and performs the following activities during stationary test: Check PCI

    Assign Stationary-2 call setting with cycle information & site details

    Perform under mentioned test by pressing AUTO CALL over s4 mini handset.

    a. Attach

    b. VOLTE Short call

    At the end of Auto call press status as In Progress.

    Press Auto DRM/DRX Upload button which is popped up & wait for upload to finish.

  • Stationary Test( Gamma Sector)

    Drive test engineer shall move over towards Gamma sector and perform the following activities during the stationary test

    Check PCI and latch to it.

    Assign Stationary-3 call setting with cycle information & site details

    Perform under mentioned test by pressing AUTO CALL over s4 mini handset.

    a. Attach

    b. VOLTE Short call

    At the end of Auto call presses status as Completed.

    Press Auto DRM/DRX Upload button which is popped up & wait for upload to finish

  • 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. One handset for DTDL One handset for DTUL

    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.

    Press Stop after completion of drive on both handset( based on steps as above) and press status as "Complete . Press Auto DRM/DRX Upload button which gets popped up in both handset & wait for upload to finish. Ask the LSMR engineer to lock the site. Inform the SOLPAR PM and Samsung area manager about the completion of the drive and move for the next drive if time permits for the day.

  • Checklist during drive

    If any Attach fail, /Access fail, Handover fail, Sector swap are observed during drive test then call should be immediately stopped and LSMR engineer should be contacted for any running alarm. Later fresh drive for the same should be done post rectification.

    During drive test and eNB physical verification if any physical obstruction due to which drive couldnt be done on that road then SOLPAR DT engineer needs to take the snapshot and pass it over to Solpar PM.

    If SOLPAR engineer cant drive around in the clockwise or anticlockwise direction then he has to mention the reason against the same along with a snapshot proof. Also if for the stationary test, SOLPAR engineer is unable to go into the main lobe while still in car, then he must try to walk and go into major lobe of the sector, if even that is not possible then he should take snaps to support the same.

    The SOLPAR engineer should not wait more than 30 mins (post escalation to LSMR and self troubleshooting) for any issue resolution at the site. If issue resolution is taking time, then he should move to the next site.

  • Post SCFT Drive

    All snapshots post SCFT (road and antenna obstructions) should be taken and sent to SOLPAR Project Manager/ Samsung Area Manager/Circle RF Lead.

    Backup of log files in memory card to be taken by the DT (this will required if any file got corrupted during upload). Same to be handed over to Circle RF Lead.

    Contact LSMR Engineer to lock the site (all three sectors).

    Handover the keys back to from where they were taken.

    Inform the Solpar PM and Samsung RF lead about completion of the drive test.

    Move over to the next site.

    How can check Sector Swap

    1. Choose Stationary Point in the main lobe of antenna.

    2. Check that you get only one PCI assigned to test sector.

    - eg. For figure shown, you must get PCI 9 for alpha sector.

    If you get 10 PCI then that is sector swap.

    - In this case you have to change CPRI cable to correct

    the swap. (Alpha PCI 9 CPRI Beta PCI 10 CPRI).

    3. Repeat the above procedure for remaining sectors as well.
