1. Introduction This report is based on a field test exercise conducted in Salalah City for benchmarking service provider’s mobile voice and data network’s coverage and performance during Khareef season 2014. The tests were conducted in mobile for voice & mobile and static modes for broadband networks of Omantel and Nawras throughout Salalah City from 8th August 2014 to 11th August 2014, the tests were conducted between 7:30 A.M to 10:00 P.M to capture the overall network performance over the course of the day. The data was collected by taking network measurements in two rounds on the pre-planned drive test routes, initially for mobile voice which was more intense in terms of the distance covered and then for mobile broadband which constituted a relatively shorter route. A total of around 1000 km was driven throughout Salalah during the exercise.
2. Methodology (Test Configuration) The following configuration was used for measurements:
Also, the following basis were taken into account:
• The coverage summary is based on the geographical drive test route used during the
measurement exercise. • The exercise has been conducted independently by the Authority without sharing any prior
information with the service providers about the type of tests being performed or location.

• The results of the exercise are based on the data collected from the field at a certain instance of time and day; network behaviour may vary with traffic variations over time.
• Industry standard tools and work best practices have been used during the whole exercise. • The broadband performance for LTE is measured using standard modems available commercially
by running tests on service provider’s ‘Speedtest’ servers in the core network.
3. Key Performance Indicators Measured: Mobile voice performance was measured based on the following set of KPIs:
Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR)– This indicator is used to measure the percentage of calls successfully established without facing blockage in the network as ratio of the total number of call attempts made to access and establish a voice call. Call Drop Rate (CDR) – This indicator is used to measure the percentage of calls dropped due to technical problems or coverage gaps in the service provider’s network as a ratio of the total number of calls successfully established.
Call Success Rate (CSR) – This indicator is used to measure the percentage of calls successfully established without facing blockage in the network as a ratio of the total number of call attempts made to access and establish a voice call and then successfully terminated from the user-end without being dropped or disconnected from the network side due to a technical irregularity.
Mobile broadband performance was measured based on the following set of KPIs:
• Packet Latency - Packet delay, which represents the time taken for data packets to pass through the GPRS bearer in a round-trip time from the mobile to the server in the service provider’s core network and back to the mobile.
• Packet Loss is the percentage of packets lost between designed routs in the network. It is used to indicate the loss of data packets during transmission over a telecommunications network.
• Average downlink throughput - This is the average downlink throughput (rate at which data/bits are transferred to the user) experienced by a user while downloading content from the Internet.
The detailed formula for the above mentioned KPI is explained in Annex 2.
5. Coverage Coverage was assessed based on the following radio parameters:
• Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) – This indicator measures the received signal code power of the pilot channel in the downlink during the drive test (to check 3G coverage).
• Received Signal Level (RxLevSub) - This indicator measures the received signal strength in downlink during the drive tests (to check 2G coverage).
Reference: 02/2014 Issue: 1.0 Date: 01/09/2014 Page: 7
The above two radio parameters are used to take the measurements, which is then translated into penetration levels for the coverage bar charts and illustrated in color coding on the mobile voice coverage maps (annex 1) for making it easier to understand.
The following drive test conventions are used for the graphs and coverage plots.
3G CPICH RSCP (dBm)
2G RxLevSub (dBm)
Range Range Classification Penetration
>= -80 >= -75 Excellent Indoor
>=-87 and <-80 >=-82 and <-75 Good
>=-100 and <-87 >=-95 and <-82
Fair In-Car
<-100 <-95 Weak Outdoor Only
The above mentioned penetration range is based on the assumption of -7 dBm for in-car and -20 dBm for in-building penetration loss. However, in reality this may vary slightly from case to case depending on a number of factors like area profile, construction material, thickness of walls etc.
6. Results Summary & Analysis
6.1 Mobile Voice Coverage
• Omantel exhibits excellent in-door voice and broadband coverage. • Nawras exhibits excellent in-door voice coverage. • Both service providers exhibit excellent In-Car voice coverage throughout Salalah City. • Nawras Indoor broadband coverage is significantly less than Omantel. • During the field test measurements it was observed that in Nawras 3G broadband network the
serving active cell is not always the strongest one available. • In General, Omantel exhibits better mobile voice and broadband coverage.

6.3 Broadband Performance
• Both service providers exhibit similar performance in mobile and static broadband (3G) with respect to the average downlink throughput.
• Omantel broadband network (3G) exhibits lower average packet latency than Nawras in mobile and static tests.
• The average packet latency for Omantel (3G) is higher in the static mode than mobile because of high latency rates experienced in some specific locations; refer to the details in section 10.
• Packet latency in Nawras 3G network is higher than Omantel for mobile and static broadband. • Bother service provider’s exhibit excellent broadband performances in LTE network with
Nawras having higher downlink throughput rates on average. • Omantel 3G broadband network performed very poorly in Mughsayl and Wadi Darbat and
very few samples were collected.

Annex 2: KPI Definition and Formula
1- Mobile voice:
The Mobile Voice performance was based on the following set of KPIs: Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR)– This indicator is used to measure the percentage of calls successfully established without facing blockage in the network as ratio of the total number of call attempts made to access and establish a voice call.

Call Drop Rate (CDR) – This indicator is used to measure the percentage of calls dropped due to technical problems or coverage gaps in the service provider’s network as a ratio of the total number of calls successfully established.

∗ 100
Call Success Rate (CSR) – This indicator is used to measure the percentage of calls successfully established without facing blockage in the network as a ratio of the total number of call attempts made to access and establish a voice call and then successfully terminated from the user-end without being dropped or disconnected from the network side due to a technical irregularity.
𝐶𝑆𝑅 = 𝐶𝑆𝑆𝑅 ∗ (1 − 𝐶𝐷𝑅)
2- Mobile Broadband
The mobile broadband performance was judged based on the following set of KPIs: Packet Latency - Packet delay, which represents the time taken for data packets to pass through the GPRS bearer in a round-trip time from the mobile to the server in the service provider’s core network and back to the mobile. Packet Loss
