1. INTRODUCTION

Operator are installing new

generation network named LTE in

deployment phase with Alcatel-

Lucent

Before starting the field acceptance

activities it is very important to

optimize the coverage efficiency in

order to clear all issues related to

radio environment.

1.1. OBJECT

The object of this document is to explain step by step the RF optimization phases from

the site verification till the delivery of reporting to the operator

This part has to be done before any other field system performance activities as soon

as the cluster has been defined by the customer.

In order to highlight the problematic zones through the deployment area, and to

compare the coverage with the RNP predictions, a site verification followed by a

coverage measurement will have to be executed.

After the delivery of the reporting, a tilt optimization should be requested by RNP

engineer, and the measurement validation will have to be done again.




1.2. GOAL OF THE RF OPTIMIZATION

RF optimization is necessary after the first design to optimize the radio network and to

adapt it to the real field. Indeed when the RF design is realized, it uses standard

characteristics adapted to general environments often presented inside the digital map

as clutters. These clutters are defined by the averaged kind of build, spacing,

vegetation and outlines.

Clutters of environment are defined as macrostructures and can have punctually some

variation of build as masks or can be crossed by highways or railways. In this case,

the real behaviour of the waves could be locally modified. Sometimes some troubles

could also appear due to ground level variation (hilly areas). All of this modify the

propagation and can create interferences, wave guides or blocked areas.

On LTE network number of cells available in same place could have also significant

impact on cell efficiency. The more the number of neighbouring cells seen 10 dB

under the best server is ,the more the risk of interferences increase.

To limit the interferences impact due to others sites or to create more homogenous

design in term of serving cell coverage, RF optimization must be realized after the

deployment.

After the control of site status (all tested sites must be “up and well done

parameterized”), they must all loaded with 100% OCNS.

Drive test tour is organized around them, using LTE receiver and GPS for real

geopositioning. LTE radio data are collected on road and formatted to give view of

results. The main receiver advantage is to be independent of the network. That allows

to collect everything seen inside the Drive test area. The main results of this activity

are, area coverage map, best server map and the status of received cells for each

measurement‟s point.

These main results of this field activity should be used to modify the tilt of antennas

used or sometime to optimize one cell azimuth to obtain the wanted coverage and a

relative homogeneity between all the cells coverage (no preponderance of one cell to

the detriment of the others). In parallel this is used to limit impact of neighbouring cells

seen inside specific cell coverage and to limit faraway interferences due to site or cell

positioning.




1.3. THE STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE PRESENTATION

2. SITE VERIFICATION

2.1. OBJET

The aim of this part is to control that the given information are correct, because if there

is some gap between the real information and the one used for the prediction (as the

antenna height from ground, the implemented tilts, azimuths, or even the coordinates

of site) the prediction realized before will be wrong and the systems test could have

more problem than expected.

The other goal is also to check the mask present in the immediate environment of the

site, which could block the LTE signal. This part could allow Alcatel Lucent to

understand why the coverage is strongly decreasing in some parts of the driven roads.

In consequence the RF Optimisation has to be done before any system tests.

The following will present the needed tools and the way to use it.

2.2. NECESSARY TOOLS SET

To realize the site visit, the main tools used are:

- Binocular

- Compass

- Digital camera

- Laser meter (or decameter)

- GPS




2.3. ON SITE JOB

2.3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

By using the laser meter, the site visitor will have to check that the height of the

building is the same that the one which has been communicate by the RNP Engineer.

A picture of the site is needed

In the same way by using the GPS, he will have to qualify that the given coordinates

are the correct one, and has to provide these information to the RNP Engineer.

2.3.2 VERIFICATION OF EXISTING EQUIPMENTS

Once the previous step has been done, the person in charge of the site verification

must check the antenna height, the implemented tilts and azimuths and has to provide

this information to the RNP Engineer.

A picture of each transmitting system (RRH, feeders and antennas as shown below)

has to be taken in order to check that the installation of equipment has been correctly

done.




2.3.3 VERIFICATION OF CLOSE ENVIRONMENT ON EACH CELL

The aim of this part is to check what is the immediate environment for each cell, by

taking a panoramic view (as shown below).

If mask has been seen, this information will allow the post processing team to

understand the reason of a poor coverage in a part of the driven roads

Here is an example taken on the French LTE deployment




3. RF CHANNEL OUTDOOR MEASUREMENT

3.1. OBJET

The RF Channel measurement is done to allow the trial team to start the acceptances

test in a optimized network.

A report has to be done, after these measurements, it must contain results presented

as followed:

Channel Power

Best cell ID

RSRP

RSRQ

RS-CINR

Serving cells within 10dB

Neighboring list

After results formatting and processing, the data must be given to RF planner

engineer, who optimize the RNP to reduce any problem of coverage, overlap and

interferences due to site installation and parameters.

At least, the RNP engineer will provide to the costumer a list of tilts to implement on

field.




3.2. NECESSARY TOOLS SET

Equipments used for this activity are the following one:

a receiver system adapted on frequency used.

a geographical positioning system ( GPS or precise numerical Maps).

The receiver system is made up of:

an accurate receiver : W1314 series ( from Agilent Technology ).

a magnetic broadband car antenna able to collect frequencies in the used

LTE band (ex: 2.6GHz).

a PC with the Nixt Survey software (V14.2 or above) from Agilent Technology,

to drive the receiver system and record the data.

The whole system is positioned inside the measurement car.

The geographical system is made up of either:

A GPS (Global Position System), integrated inside the W1314 series




3.3. NIXT OVERVIEW

NIXT (E6474A) is the software platform developed by Agilent to control the receivers

and to log measurement on the driven roads.

This part of the document is a short presentation of the configuration setup

3.3.1 CHECK THE LICENCE

NIXT is based on Licence , so to be able to do the requested measurement , a quick

check of available licence is recommended.

To do that , open the Licence Manager present in the Agilent directory.




3.3.2 NIXT CONFIGURATION

With NIXT it is possible to take several traces in two different ways.

The first one is based on files (the operator has to configure the software with the

correct receivers each time the software is opened). This could be used to control

punctual issue or to test equipment in order to prepare a campaign

The second one is based on a project manager (the operator has to configure the

software with the correct receiver and measurements only once, the configuration will

be saved automatically when the software is turned off),

This way is strongly recommended by ARFCC group since it is more convenient

for any of site support (project exportation, setting saving ...).

After selecting the Project manager, and creating a new project, the field team must

install the correct device, by using the device wizard.

Project manager

File




Once the device is detected and installed, the operator has to select the measurement

needed (add measurement / LTE Channel Analyzer) and must configure the channel

to measure as shown below.

Frequency band preselector

LTE Channel List ( Channel’s

frequency must be filled here)

Wide of the used band




To be able to follow the measurement in live a workspace must be created.

The bar chart presents the selected measurement as bar. The grid gives the

measurement in value, It‟s also possible to add a map and to see the value on it.

This view are not a selection of what is saved on the files, it just gives information.

After configuring the workspace, the measurement can start.

Two ways to use the software are existing:

Live mode .(no recording datas) used to check the configuration

Recording data (the one used to save measurement)

Bar chart

Grid

Measurement selection

drag and drop the measurement

you want to see




3.4. DRIVE TEST PROCEDURE

3.4.1 PREREQUESITE

Before starting the OCNS must be declared on the system with a 100% value, to have

a full loaded signal, and the full network must be working.

No other activities on the tested area must be done during the RF measurement

campaign

3.4.2 RECORDING DATAS

Once the configuration is done, the measuring team has to start to collect data

The car speed must be as constant as possible and not to high

A maximum number of roads of the cluster must be measured, and will have to be

drive again if some tilts modifications are requested after the post processing.

To ensure that the same roads will be measured, we strongly recommend to keep

traces of the driven roads made during the first pass.




4. RF CHANNEL INDOOR MEASUREMENT

4.1. OBJET

The RF Channel indoor measurement is done to check the coverage of the LTE

Network inside a specific building, where DAS system had been deployed

A report has to be done, after these measurements, it must contain results presented

as followed:

Channel Power

Best cell ID

RSRP

RSRQ

RS-CINR

Serving cells within 10dB

Neighboring list

After results formatting and processing, the data must be given to RF planner

engineer, who optimize the RNP to reduce any problem of coverage, overlap and

interferences due to site installation and parameters.

At least, the RNP engineer will confirm to the costumer if the antenna position are

correct regarding the expectation or if this position has to be modified

4.2. NIXT SETTINGS

The way to set the software is similar to outdoor. The main difference will be how to

log the data. A touch Read laptop is needed to be able to work in indoor environment.

First of all, create a new workspace for the map.




Once the Workspace is created, open the geo-referenced mapfile

As soon as the map is opened, on the properties set the Indoor Mapping Mode to Yes.

By doing this the GPS will be disable, that why it is Mandatory to synchronise the

system with the GPS before doing that.

Open map

file




4.3. LOG THE TRACE

Before starting the log, the start point on the map by adding an anchor

Anchor




Then when the log is started , click on the start position with the arrow and start to

walk with a constant speed, as soon as you reach a reference point (corner, door…)

click on the current position on the map, and the system will automatically place the

logged point at the correct position

arrow




5. QUALITY

5.1. SCANNER VERIFICATION

Before starting any campaign of measurement, the receiver calibration date must be checked, and also the good behavior of the system

5.2. MEASUREMENT QUALITY

Since the Soft ware version 15.0 new fields appears on the measurement file R0 RSRP,R1 RSRP, R0 RSCINR…., The R0 branch is the one use to decode, and for the Synchronisation , this field is the one used to do the RF optimization. Some Ghost Cell Id can appear during those measurements , before post processing the data , a statistic count on CELL ID must be done to delete the Ghost. CELL ID with a non significant CELL ID number must be considered as trash




6. DATA EXPORT

To be able to post process the Data to set of export mut be provided to the post

processing team

Scanner data (*.aod, *.pgs ,*.aox, *.ecf, and *.axe files)

CSV file

6.1. SCANNER DATA EXPORT

Open the Project Manager, select the project to export and click on export project

Then select the measurement to export and choose where you want to copy it

This measurement are readable by using the nitx software , Edat or gladiator

Export Project




6.2. CSV DATA EXPORT

After measuring the channel on the cluster roads the raw data must be exported in

readable format (csv) by using the export wizard of the software.

An export plan can be done as shown

Select the new export plan to create one

If the export plan is existing, select the multiple file exporting and the raw data to

export

Select all the requested data ( LTE Channel List)




Select the UTM lat / long Format

By selecting Save, the operator is able to save the export plan. By saving the export

plan, it can be given to all technical field team, in order to get the same level of

information for all parts of measurement campaign.

Otherwise export to file.

Be careful: The CSV files must be duplicated before any modification or analysis. The

duplicated files must be stored in directory named „RAW DATA‟ these are the references of

real measurements. The second set should be used to perform processing and analysis. If

any doubt about the processing appears, we need to go back on cloned raw data to redo

the processing and possibly perform debugging..




7. POST PROCESSING

7.1. TOOLS REQUIRED

A system as MapInfo is requested and the post processing team could have to use or

develop tools as Excel Macro to be able to have the requested information(by using

the CSV export.

Or they can use internal software as EDAT, or external one as Gladiator

Drag and drop the site data, the

vectors and the wanted

informations.




Export image Once the map had been done there is a way to export it as an image, as a tab file or on google earth format




WORK WITH THE CUSTOM DESIGN CENTER

To use the CDC , you will need to set it up first Here are the steps to follow to do it First of all open it by selecting CDC under tools or with F10

By using the CDC the operators will be able to generate automatic reports

Reports can represent the analysis results in either Map views, Result tables, or MS Excel documents.

A custom report utilizes five types of components. These are outlined below:

Data sources

Parameters

Procedures

Outputs

Layouts

Create a new one




DATA SOURCES

A data source provides a means to input tables into the Custom design center. Data sources are separated into two main types. These include Device data sources and System data sources. The Device data source is used to specify and create reports related to devices such as phones and scanners. The System data source allows for designing of reports related to system parameters such antenna azimuth and mechanical downtilt. Device data sources allow the user to specify what data will be used for report generation based on Equipment manufacturer, Technology and Device type. An example of such a data source would be an Agilent UMTS phone. System data sources only require the user to provide the name of an existing system within the Gladiator project view. Data sources defined are used in later stages in the report design process.

Add a new Device (for our example a JDSU LTE Scanner) and a new system ( defined in the previous chapter)

PARAMETERS

Parameters are input variables the user can specify to be used in report generation. At creation time the user can specify default values in specific ranges defined around that value. At run time of the report the user can change this value as long as it is still within the range specified at creation time. These features allow the user to create a flexible report that can generate dynamic results based on inputs at report run time. There are multiple parameter types to choose from and inputs characteristics can be specified for each. Such characteristics include setting valid input ranges for value parameters and character length for text parameters and text length.

Add a new parameter group




PROCEDURES

Procedures are the most important section of the Custom design center. Data is manipulated in the Procedure node in order to provide relevant information to continue the report generation process. Procedures have two main levels. The first level consists of data sets which is a starting point of data manipulation. Data sets can contain data directly from the Data sources node or elsewhere such as the result of a query from the Sql database. The second level called Operations perform the actual data manipulation such as filtering or compression. The results of these Operations nodes provide inputs to later stages.

Create 1 custom data set

Select the G_LTE scanner and take all the measured data

Create a new calculations to be able to detect the serving cells within 10 dB




Once the calculations is created , select add all columns and decrease the number of cells until you have the FileId, Sequence No, Time, Latitude and Longitude and then add one ow by increasing the number of column

Fill the column name between square baquets without using space [serving_cells_counter]

Then click on the 3 dot points

Then set the expression to count the number of cell in 10 dB (see appendix)

On this row we will add the

serving cell counter




OUTPUTS

The Output node accepts defined procedures and uses the manipulated data to generate "Outputs" such as tables, graphs and maps to place in next node "Layouts".

Add a new map (you can select as well new graph, table…)

Reproduce this step for each map you want

From properties select

the correct data scheme

Add the info you want

to see on your map

Select calculations for the serving cells counter or

custom data set for other datas present on the

parameter group




LAYOUTS

Defining the Layout is the final stage to the report generation process. There are two types of layouts possible; these are HTML layout and MS Excel layouts. To generate an HTML layout, the user is provided with an embedded html editor to define exactly what the final report will look like. In this stage all outputs are placed in the editor and descriptive text is placed around them as necessary to describe the results of the reports. Custom design center also allows generation of a MS Excel spreadsheet report. This report is based on an existing Excel 'template' document that contains the desired formatting of the final report. Once this is complete, Custom design center allows the user to simply 'place' each Output where desired on the template file. A copy of the template file with the added output is generated hence allowing the template file to be reused as desired.

Add a new excel layout

Select the position and size of your map on the

excell sheet

Then start your export




CREATE NEIGHBOR LIST

The way to create the neighboring list is to use the LS_CreateNeighborList tool box

Fill the wanted Parameter then press ok. It will

create the neighbor list into the workspace

Create a new table view then export it on excell




To be able to create the list export, as well the site data and open the Cell table to have the correspondence between the ID of the cell provided by gladiator and the cell name. The result will give you a first neighbour list , that it can be updated to the system This list will be optimized by using the UE Measurement.

7.4. INFORMATION NEEDED

With MapInfo the post processor must provide coverage analysis, as shown below

(example taken on a trial in France)

CHANNEL POWER




The channel power allows to find possible lack or hole of coverage. The minimum value must be

above -95 dBm in 99% of the time. This shows that the signal is powerful enough for the acceptance

test.

BEST CELL ID COVERAGE

This best server view shows that tilts must be optimized to enhance or to limit the CELL ID coverage,

in order to limit the Handover request inside the area and to restore more homogenous cell coverage.




RSRP COVERAGE

This view shows the global coverage for one ressource element including holes and poor level

The level must be over -95dBm ,in most of the case, inside the cluster area to allow a good indoor penetration

RSRQ COVERAGE

This view shows the quality received for one resource element 95% of the measured samples has to be over -20 for 100% of load




RS CINR COVERAGE

This view shows the coverage for the CINR for one resource element. The level must be over -5dBm ,in most of the case, inside the cluster area.

SERVING CELLS WITHIN 10DB




This view shows, the number of CELL ID received until 10dB less than the best server.

The post processing tool (Excel macro, EDAT) must be able to extract the list of neighbouring cells from raw data in order to create and validate the neighbour cell list A maximum 3 serving cells must be present in most of measurement points to limit End User interferences by restricting the impact of neighbouring cells in covered area. Main limitation could be due to no neighbouring cell available and set up around the tested area. In this case second drive tour must be organized if necessary when the neighbouring cells will set “On”.

NEIGHBORING LIST

By using the server within 10 dB, the neighboring list have to be provided as follow Server cell ID
