The course will initially explain the purpose of drive testing and detail the preparation required for effective network testing, covering the test equipment required for drive testing and the setup and configuration of the equipment. The careful selection of drive test routes and determining the objective of testing as well as interpreting and analysing the results is also covered.
Using typical drive test tools (e.g. TEMS) RRC and Layer 3 signalling log files will be examined for the most common scenarios encountered, including initial registration and default bearer establishment, session control and handovers as well as RRC processes of RRC connection setup, release and modification.
Network KPIs are central to determining specific or general performance of the LTE system and 3GPP defines many of the typical KPIs, the primary of these will be explained in the context of the drive test and network tuning and will include both accessibility, retainability and integrity metrics.
Participants will develop or be able to:
- A solid foundation on which to develop knowledge of LTE network testing and tuning.
- Skills to efficiently perform LTE network testing and performance analysis.
- Recognise and develop best-practice for performance optimization.
- Confidence to recognize LTE performance issues and perform trouble shooting
- Knowledge to thoroughly understand the signalling processes within the LTE access network and to follow those processes in drive test log files.
- Use 3GPP KPIs to measure LTE network performance
- Familiarity with typical drive test equipment and test tools.
