MOTIVATION
3G networks are becoming commercially available all over
the world
To check the functionality of the networks before
commercial launch
Network designs are based on propagations models and
simulations (coverage verification)
3G technology (WCDMA) is different from 2G
Tools and methods for 3G Networks
Differences compared to 2G
In General
- The Technology is more complicated (Overlapping cells,
soft hand over, power control, cell breathing etc)
- High performance requirements on products (UE & Network
nodes)
- In Particular for Tuning & Optimzation
- Process & tools are under development
- Co-located GSM/3G sites
- Shared Antenna System
- Inter-working with GSM

PILOT TUNING
The basic measurements of scanner are
CPICH_RSCP (received signal code power)
CPICH_Ec/No (received energy per chip divided by the
power density in the band)
RSSI (received signal strength indicator)
What can you achieve with scanner?
Crossed feeder issues (DL)
Coverage verification
Interference problems (overshooting cell, pilot pollution)
Missing neighbours
