1. Introduction
This is a network evaluation report before Re-farming. We follow the following principles to do
series of drive tests.
Full coverage peak time typical period.
All services: CS/GPRS/EDGE, 2G/2G handover and 2G / 3G reselection are tested.
So it is an overall period, overall scene, and overall operation test.

1.1. Subject Background

This report presents drive test results, CQT in peak time before Re-farming.
This document includes the following subjects:

Test Scope

Test Description

Long Call

Dedicated test will evaluate the

retain ability,mobility and TCH
coverage performanceof the
Network for the voice service.

MSset a MOC Call. If the call drops, a new call is

established after 15 sec. In case of Refused Call (call
establishment failure), a call re-attempt is performed
after 15 sec.

Short Call

Dedicated test will evaluate the

Network Access performance for
the voice service.

MSset a loop of MOC Call with 120 second and 10

secondinterval, If the call drops, a new call is
established after 10 sec. When there is a Refused Call
(call establishment failure), a call re-attempt is
performed after 10 sec.

Idle mode

Idle mode test will evaluate the

network radio link performance.

MS need keep the UE on idle mode without MOC or

MTC.

Walk test will evaluate the indoor

Network performance(Coverage,
CS and PS performance, Cell
Reselection from 2G to 3G).

MS set a MOC call. If the call drops, a new call is

established after 15 sec. In case of Refused Call (call
establishment failure), a call re-attempt is performed
after 15 sec.
Keep online and download files from the FTP server in
CQT mode
Check for 2G to 3G Cell Reselection on all CQT Points

7.8. Conclusion
This report shows cluster05 network DT performance analysis before&after swap. Overall coverage (like rx level,
rx quality, C/I average, TX Power CS) is better from pre swap. CS KPIs (like call setup success rate, call drop
rate, handover success rate, call setup delay time) are also improved after swap. In all CQTs DL & UL throughput
have have shown improvement.We are looking forward to have closer cooperation with Omantel in future, to
provide more of our world leading products and services for Omantel.
