Single Site Verification Preparation

Before the single site verification, we should only ensure the following conditions have been met.

Alarm Check Cell Status Check

Parameter Check

Page8

Single Site Verification Preparation

Alarm Check

The product support engineer will be responsible for checking and resolving all the alarms. It is important for the optimization engineer prior to any field test to check with product support engineer regarding any alarms especially intermittent alarms.

Cell Status Check

The product support engineer will be responsible for

checking and resolving all the cell state problems. It is

important for the network optimization engineer prior to

any field test to confirm with product support engineer

regarding cell state.

Single Site Verification Preparation

Parameter Check

The optimization engineer need to ensure the radio part parameters configuration list has been achieved. In the list the radio part parameters includes: LAC and RAC ,frequency, the scrambling code, etc.

Site Verification Items:

Installations: CPICH RSCP, CPICH Ec/Io, Rx Antenna

Swap Test

Settings: Frequency & SC, LAC/RAC

Functions: Voice (MT & MO), VP (MT & MO), etc.

Page13

Single Site Verification

Test Process 1

Items: LAC and RAC Purpose: Verify the LAC and RAC is as same as that of planning Method: Power on the huawei626 mobile, press the Application Program,

and select 2 WCDMA network information, RAC and LAC in the network can been seen.

Notes: if the LAC and RAC is not as same as that of RNP, we should

modify it and test it again

Application program

Single Site Verification

Test Process 2

Items: Frequency and Scrambling Code Purpose: Check the frequency and scrambling code for the verified cell if its right or not.

Method: Power on the huawei626 mobile, press the

Application Program, and select 3 WCDMA active

set/monitor set, Frequency DL and Scrambling Code in

the network can been see.

Notes: If the frequency and scrambling code is not as

same as that of the planning, there is some mistakes with

the parameter setting or the Tx antenna installation

Single Site Verification

Test Process 3

Items: CPICH RSCP and CPICH Ec/Io Purpose: Check the CPICH RSCP and CPICH Ec/Io for the verified cell is normal or not.

Method: Power on the huawei626 mobile, press the Application Program, and select 3 WCDMA active set/monitor set. Check if CPICH RSCP(Ec) is higher than -85dBm and CPICH Ec/Io is higher than -8dB.

Notes: (1) The mobile shall be near the site. (2) If its abnormal, maybe the Tx antenna installation or the downlink interference have some problems.

Single Site Verification

Test Process 4

Items: Voice Call (MT & MO) Purpose: Verify the voice call function is normal and the

voice call quality is good

Method: Make the dialing test of 3G speech service

between two 3G mobiles, one for the terminating call and

another one for the originating call. Test the speech

communication quality by your feeling.

Single Site Verification

Test Process 5

Items: VP Call (MT & MO)

Purpose: Verify the VP call function is normal and the VP call quality is good

Method: Make the dialing test of 3G VP service between two 3G mobiles, one for the terminating call and another one for the originating call. Test the speech and photo communication quality by your feeling.

Test Process 6

Items: PS service Purpose: Verify the PS function is normal and the PS quality is good.

Method: Make the dialing test of 3G PS service, which

include WWW browsing and file downloading. Test the PS

connection quality by your feeling.

Single Site Verification

Test Process 7

Items: Antenna swapping test Purpose: Verify the Rx feeder installation is right or not Method: Switch the transmitter from one feeder to another, check the RSCP changed or not. If no change happened,

it means that the feeder is correct. Check the RSCP from

scanner

If the receive antenna crossed, the uplink diversity receive

gain is loss, and the uplink interfere is doubled. It will

affect the uplink capability. Check the RTWP of the cell.

Troubleshooting:

The problem recording list should be filled in and the

product support engineer should be encouraged to solve the problems.

Track the problems until they are solved.

Notice items 1: Test Point Choice

We shall choose the test point where the CPICH RSCP of

the target sector is high enough and that of other sector is

poor.

The test points should be chosen near the site and ideally
with line-of-sight to the site.

The test points should not be chosen under the site as the signal of other sectors of same site is strong too.

Single Site Verification

Notice items 2: Test Route Choice

The driving test route should connect the test points of the sectors. It is required that signals not be shadowed by buildings along the test route to avoid turning the test into a coverage test.

The figure below shows the way to select the test points and the
test route.

Problem Example for Site Verification

In the site verification, following problems have been found

Scrambling Code Setting is wrong: The scrambling code from scanner and mobile is different from the planning

After feeder swapped, the CPICH RSCP is 20dB lower

than before.

Page26

Answers

Scrambling Code Setting is wrong

The Scrambling Code may be wrong in RNC, check the datasheet in RNC.

If the Scrambling Code from scanner is the same as that of another sector in same site planned, maybe the TX/RX feeder is crossed to the another sector.

Page27

Answers

After feeder swapped, the CPICH RSCP is 20dB lower than

before:

The RX feeder is crossed to the antenna of another sector.

In this case, the CPICH RSCP will be high in the coverage area of the other antenna. Check the connection between the feeder and the antenna.
