Preparation of Single Site Verification

Test location and route choose principle
 The right test point meeting the following conditions:
 Where the signals of target cell are strong

 Where the signals of other cells are weak

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential

Preparation of Single Site Verification

Test location and route choose principle
 For better performance, the following methods can be
taken:
 Disable power amplifiers of other cells except the cell to
be measured

 If cannot disable other cells, the testing point should be

near the center of the cell, with line-of-sight distance to
the NodeB
– For a macro cell, testing point should be less than 100
meters from NodeB in the direction of major beam of cell

antenna, with line-of-sight distance to NodeB.

 CPICH_RSCP/CPICH_EcIo (Near Site) Test
 Method
– In the major transmission direction of antenna, fix a location with line-of-
sight distance from the antenna within 100 meters from the NodeB

– Test UE shows the signal level, including RSCP and Ec/Io

 Bench Mark Value

– For macro cells, CPICH RSCP > –75 dBm

– For micro cells, CPICH RSCP > –60 dBm

– For no-load cells, CPICH Ec/Io > –8 dB

– For load-on cells, CPICH Ec/Io > –10 dB

Antenna Diversity Check
 Objectivity
 Check whether the antenna for receiving diversity signals is reversely
connected

Test Content of Single Site Verification

Antenna Diversity Check
 Method 1
 In the cell to be measured, set UE transmits signals with the fixed
maximum power

 Check the RTWP of the cell to be measured and the neighbor cells
– If the RTWP of the corresponding cell increases only and the RTWP of
neighbor sectors changes less, the diversity receiver antenna is correctly
connected

– If the RTWP of corresponding cell and other sectors increases at the

same time, the diversity receiver antenna is improperly connected

Antenna Diversity Check
 Method 2
 Connect the Tx/Rx feeder to the Rx ports and the Rx feeder to the
Tx/Rx port.

 Compare the CPICH RSCP before and after exchanging feeders.

– If the difference of CPICH RSCP before and after exchanging feeders is
more than 20 dB, the diversity receiver antenna is improperly connected

Weak Coverage Problem Analysis

Phenomenon
 In single site verification drive test, the signal level is very bad in
200m with line-of-sight

 No blocking

Analysis
 Check the alarm information (VSWR) – no alarm

 Check the feeder system

 Downtilt angle – OK

 Azimuth – OK

 Connector – OK

Weak Coverage Problem Analysis

Analysis
 Check configuration file
 The parameters related to CPICH power – OK
– 33dBm, and the maximum transmission power for the cell 20W.

Weak Coverage Problem Analysis

Analysis
 Check the output power of the cell

Weak Coverage Problem Analysis

Analysis
 Check the output power of the cell

Weak Coverage Problem Analysis

Analysis
 Base on the output power examination, the problem is located on
the PA problem

Solution
 Change the PA

Re-test
 Signal level back to normal

Antenna Diversity Problem Analysis

Phenomenon
 Set the UE with maximum transmission power in 10112, same
problem happened

Result
 The receiving diversity antenna of cell 10111 and 10112 are
connected crossly.

Adjustment
 Exchange the receiving diversity antenna of these two cells

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential

Antenna Diversity Problem Analysis

Re-test
 Set the UE with the maximum transmission power in Cell 10111,
check the RTWP of 10111 and 10112, only the RTWP of 10111
increased, the problem was resolved
