Version 1.0

ABSTRACT

This document provides a detailed test plan for KPI Optimization of the LTE field

technology deployment as detailed in the Verizon High Level Test Plan. The tests ill !e

e"ecuted in #oston$ %& and surrounding areas. The primary o!'ective of the

Optimization is to validate !asic KPI functionality$ evaluate performance of LTE &ir( Interface functionalities. The scope of test cases included in this KPI Test Plan spans

several areas including access$ latency$ coverage and )apacity

4 Process O!er!ie

4)1 $eployment *ite Locations

4)2 *ite ea:iness

he Site 6eadiness are health checs that ensure all cells are operatin+ as reJuired. hese

procedures are usuall perfored after deploin+ a new networ or when introducin+

new cell sites reJuired for a professional service. Once these health checs have been

perfored and it a satisfactor perforance of all cells can be +uaranteed( these healthchecs are no lon+er a prereJuisite of the 6; Optii!ation.

4)2)1 *pectrum (learance #erification

he spectru clearance assures that no external interference is present and sufficient+uard bands are obeed.

he detection of the interferences can be a ver tie consuin+ and difficult tas oncethe ,/ sste is up and runnin+. It is desirable to have a ver hi+h de+ree of confidencethat the spectru is cleared prior to an testin+.

4)2)2 Antenna Au:it

his phase involves a series of Jualit checs to ensure proper installation of the antennasste. he nuber of audited cell sites will depend on the custoer contract. here is a

recoended audit iniu of $?F of cell sites in a cluster. he selection of cell sites

ust be done with input fro the custoer.If ore than ?0F of the audited antennas uncover installation errors( the reainin+

antennas in the cluster ust also be audited. ased on the results and the confidence level

of the antenna installations( the percenta+e of cell sites to be audited a var forsuccessive clusters. he audit process consist of various inspections on antenna hei+ht(antenna a!iuth( antenna tpe( antenna echanical down-tilt( cable len+th( etc.

4)2) *ector #erification

he sector tests include verification of basic call processin+ functions includin+ori+ination( terination and handover tests. 4easureents are ade on ,/ si+nal levels

to verif that each sector is transittin+ with the appropriate power levels and the 2ell id.

hese basic functions tests are intended to detect hardware -( software-( confi+uration Land paraeter errors for each cell site in the cluster prior to further drive testin+. Sector

drives should be executed for each sector in the sste or accordin+ to contractual

obli+ations. Due to the siple nature of the drives( sector drives do not reJuire custoerapproval.

4)2)4 7aseline E?istin; *ystem

he objective for the aseline /xistin+ Sste is to collect the 6; perforance etricsof the existin+ ,/ sste eJuipent. aseline drivin+ should be perfored prior to an

6; Optii!ation activit and contains easurin+ of the Ke Perforance Indicators.

Alcatel-Lucent– Proprietary 1A




Drive routes and Ke Perforance Indicators will be the sae as the ones used later for

Sste 'erification. It is iportant to eep the drive routes and KPIs identical for

perforance validation and coparison purposes. Drive routes and KPIs ust be a+reedupon with the custoer.

4) Optimization Plannin;he Optii!ation plannin+ phase ensures sste and tool readiness for 6; Optii!ation before be+innin+ the actual drive testin+.

4))1 Perform Parameter Au:it

6; paraeters ust be inspected for consistenc with the ,/ paraeter catalo+ue.he 6; paraeter settin+s used in the networ can be obtained fro the 5DP project

database. hese settin+s are then audited usin+ the ,/ paraeter catalo+ue *PS

4))2 #ali:ate Initial +ei;=%or Lists

)n iportant step within the 6; Optii!ation preparation phase is associated with thenei+hbor list verification. he coplete nei+hbor lists in the ,/ networ are reJuired to

copare the nei+hbor relations with networ desi+n plots. 5ei+hbor relations need to beverified for recent updates( validit and appropriateness. he recoended strate+ is to
