OG mandates drive surveys use external vehicle roof mounted antennas.

Ideally the antenna and cable should have a combined gain of 0dB.

DT METHODOLOGY GUIDELINES
5. DT METHODOLOGY
DT Route
Drive-test Route shall be proposed to Indosat for approval. No DT shall be conducted not unless
there is an approval from customer. DT route should be detailed as possible to capture the full coverage and
quality of the network. Identify the route per clutter type: DU, U, SU, R
Procedure
a)

Input entire network sites list, digital map and cluster border into MapInfo.

b)

Create a map layer on digital map.

c)

In the new layer, indicate the test start and draw the folded line with an arrow to
indicate the test route, indicate the test end.

d)

Keep the design and agree with customer.

A test route KPIs shall be selected as much as possible based on covered all the scenarios in this
test area, all the cells as much as possible, considered the actual conditions, one day working
load.
If the customer has a predefined DT route, the DT route of KPIs shall cover the predefined DT
route. If the predefined DT route is not covered due to some objective factors, you need to
describe this case in time.
.

File Naming Convention

File naming shall be standardized in all regions. Proposed naming as below:
Region_CL_Technology_Event_Date_Logfile

Region: WJ (West Java),BN (BaliNusra),SP (Sulampapua)

Sample log-file naming - WJ_01_3G_VC_260514_01

Site Data Base

Site database needs to be ensured that this is updated. This file needs to be loaded into the DT tool
so that the DT engineer can easily spot those missing neighbors, feeder swap, etc.. This can help speed up the
optimization for the DT.
