Abstract

Even though mobile radio systems deliver more and more performance data there is always a need to measure the performance of the network in the field. These measurements can either be part of the deploying new network sites inorder to meet coverage, capacity and quality requirements, optimization of the network, benchmarking of performance, trouble shooting, or to verify the performance after an upgrade or reconfiguration of the network. These measurements are performed through Drive Test and RF survey. Drive testing is principally applied in both the planning and optimization stage of network development. The paper focuses on the procedure of drive test and its importance in network planning.
