Step 9. Walk Test
This test is performed to fine adjust the nanoBTS(s) as agreed to give a suitable service
meeting the coverage levels specified in the site configuration plan.
Set each nanoBTS into beacon test mode on its allocated ARFCN and power level as
calculated in the previous step. (See Step 8)
Using a test mobile or other GSM measuring device, walk through the installation site
looking for areas where service is below the threshold specified in the site
configuration plan, recording black spots.
Individual BTS power levels may be adjusted to minimise areas of poor network
performance.
Record all locations that are subject to poor reception.
Step 10. Installation Report
Compile an installation report for the network operator to enable them to set their BTS
neighbours, cell list, power levels and handover thresholds to optimise the network.
The report should contain: -
•
BCCH information
•
Channel usage
•
Path loss matrix
•
Walk test results
• Completed site configuration plan
This completes the installation and configuration of the nanoBTS site.
