Notes :
-power supply needed, usually using inverter in the car from laptop, GPS and MS
-GPS should use external antenna
-MS can use external antenna or not use external antenna.
(Use external antenna means measure RxLevel “Pedestrian / Street Level”)
(Not use external antenna means measure RxLevel “ In car level) -> more realistic result
If using scenario not external antenna, MS position should be carefully chosen and

Parameters to See
1. RxLevel1. RxLevel
Level of Received signal strength. In dBm or Steps. If the value in form of step substract 110
to the value to get dBm value.
RxLevel is received power level at MS (maximum RxLevel measured by MS is (±)– 40 dBm

22. 2. RxQual2. RxQual
Received signal quality level, measured base on BER (bit error rate).
The value is between 0-7, the lower the better.

23. 3. SQI3. SQI
The parameter used by TEMS to measure Speech Quality.
SQI has been designed to cover all factors that RxQual lack to measure.
SQI computation considers the factors:
•the bit error rate (BER)
•the frame erasure rate (FER)
•data on handover events
•statistics on the distribution of these parameters

exposed to particularly high levels of interference, something which comes in useful in the verification
and optimization of frequency plans.

31. GuidelinesGuidelines
Drive Test Types
1. Drive Test Continuous Route
Drive Test is walk/ drive along the route non stop
2. Hot Spots Measurement
Drive Test only at certain spot (usually critical point), TEMS standing still, no movement for 1-
5 minutes but still recording.
Usually for scanning frequency or to investigate more detailed network behaviour

32. GuidelinesGuidelines
Drive Test Guideline
1. Preparation
Don’t go to the field without a good preparation. Prepare the tools completeness, maps, cars,
scenarios, sites data, knowing area we are heading to.
2. Check Tools
Beside checking the tools completeness. Also check each tools if it’s working well, such as
the GPS, inverter, handset, including SIM card.
3. Some Rules
- Avoid to have the same route twice, or go on the same road twice.
- Beware of certain area, such as restricted area, one way street, traffic jam streets.
- Create simple/effective way of scenarios, where to start until finishing the route.
- Good cooperation with driver.
- Make sure the roads on the route, can represent the whole network as samples.
4. Pay Attention
Even if we’re only collecting data, we must focus on our activity. Avoid the things that can
make us re-drive test , such as, data cable unplugged from its MS, forget to turn-off the GPRS
mode when we don’t need GPRS to measure, run out GPS batteries, forget to record, forget
the purpose of the drive test, assure the data collected is right, pay attention of car speed,
create notes for special events, etc.
5. Reporting and Analysis
TEMS can divided as two, data collection and analysis. After drive test on the field, we must
provide data to be analyze and reported. Make sure we can create a good report and analyze
well, by performing all of the points above.

33. PlotPlot
Reporting Guidelines
1. Drive test report basically can be divided as two: Plot and Statistic.
BCCH: 59
logfile floor RxLevel Average % RxQual Data

BRI1 1 -65.12706271 93%
BRI2 2 -58.26292629 98%
BRI3 3 -57.53480663 87%
GuidelinesGuidelines
StatisticsStatistics

34. 2. Before we can create the report, make sure we have the right standard for each value
reported. Such as how many ranges the treshold of RxLevel, and RxQual. The color
ranges of SQI and FER, etc.
3. Export the right data for Plotting. To create Plot report, for example we need the logfile
to be mapinfo files. Make sure we have TEMS 4 above, that can directly export the
logfile into mapinfo file. Or, if we have TEMS 3 below, make sure we have third-party
software that can create it, such as GIMS.

35. 4. For statistic report, usually we only need the excel file and some of mapinfo data.
Each version of TEMS investigation can export the logfile into text file, *.fmt. This
format can open , and manage with Microsoft Excel.
5. Following the standard report of the customers.
