LTE Drive Test Procedure

This document outlines the methodology for performing LTE drive tests, including static and mobility testing. Static testing involves throughput and latency tests at different positions in a cell. Mobility testing checks coverage and handovers while driving in idle, download, and upload modes. The results of the drive test will be used to optimize the LTE network and plan new cells.

 LTE (Long Term Evolution) or the
E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal
Terrestrial Access Network) is
the access part of the Evolved
Packet System (EPS).
 The following are the main
objectives for LTE:
• Increased downlink and uplink
peak data rates.
• Scalable bandwidth
• Improved spectral efficiency
• All IP network
• A standard’s based interface that
can support a multitude of user
types.

to meet the site level acceptance and the
defined KPIs
• Provide all needed data related to the
coverage, signal quality and site performance,
that help the Radio Planning and Optimization
of an LTE network to troubleshoot and
improve defined KPIs
• Performs RF activities in customer projects,
according to project plan and in project
managers guidance.

 The test shall be performed in 2 Methodologies; Static & Mobility.
• Static Test:
 The objective of this test is to check if there's swapped feeders and
if the Radio Units and Antennae are radiating as supposed to be &
PCI should be as planned.
• Testing Steps: using FTP Server
1. UDP DL Throughput Test
2. FTP DL & UL Throughput Test
3. Latency Test (RTT time)
• The same test shall be done in 3 positions for each cell.
• Excellent: DL_RSRP ≥ -80dBm
• Average: -90dBm ≤ DL_RSRP < -80dBm
• Poor: -100dBm ≤ DL_RSRP < -90dBm
• Logfiles must be recorded & Snapshot must be taken.

• Mobility Test (Coverage):
• The objective of this test is to check the Intra/Inter HO, and the
homogeneity of the signal,
• The test is done by driving all the roads around the sites in 3 modes:
(Idle, Dedicated DL, Dedicated UL)
1. Idle Mode:
• Just plugging in the data card and make sure it is camped on LTE
without doing any kind of browsing or download.
◦ On TEMS you should monitor the map and the radio levels ( RSRP,
RSRQ, SINR, PCI) >>> windows on TEMS : LTE Serving /Neighbor Cell.
2. Dedicated Mode DL:
• Using the FTP client application (FileZilla), run multiple DL sessions for
big files continuously and cover the same roads of Idle Mode.
3. Dedicated Mode UL:
• Using the FTP client application (FileZilla), run multiple UL sessions for
big files continuously and cover the same roads of Idle Mode.

• Static Test:
• At the best radio condition will perform 5 times of each of
the following tests:
1. UDP DL Throughput Test
2. FTP DL & UL Throughput Test
3. Latency Test (RTT time)

• Mobility Test:
• Check the intra cell HO in dedicated mode 5 times
clockwise & anti-clockwise.
• Check the inter cell HO in dedicated mode for one
neighbor per cell and vice versa.

• Idle Mode:
• Just plugging in the data card and make sure it is camped
on LTE without doing any kind of browsing or download.
• Drive all the roads within the cluster borders.
• Monitor the signal behavior while driving through the on-air
and off-air sites.

• Dedicated Mode:
• Using the FTP client application (FileZilla), run multiple DL
sessions for big files continuously.
• Drive all the roads within the cluster borders.
• Monitor the signal & DL throughput behavior while driving
through the on-air and off-air sites.

• The drive test results are encouraging the throughput of the
LTE radio cell in different conditions.
• Based on the results the LTE network will be optimized, and
new cell will be planned.

• Notes:
• This document is made to outline the process of the LTE
drive test.
• The report forms and the needed information of the FTP &
UDP server shall be provided to the drive tester.
• There are more types of testing can be done according to
the added features and parameters to the network such as
CSFB and others.
