Need help for calibration of a propagation model using a scanner

[gogotchiya83]

I am working on a model tuning (propagation model) of a network already on Air.
Given the constraints of lack of equipment I use a scanner PCTEL with external antenna in the measurement chain.
So we proceeded to lock the scanner on a specific frequency (BCCH of the cell taken as a witness to calibrate a type of clutter), the scanner has taken action in a periodic manner with a good interval between two successive measurements (100 ms). Yet the same BCCH is used by other cells, then the scanner decodes BSIC of other cells once we went a little far from the cell object of study, so we cannot take measurements of Rxlev below -80 dbm (Cell object of study is inside the coverage and it’s surrounded by other cells using the same BCCH (constraint of the frequency plan)).

My question is as follows:
• Can we have good calibration results by using only values below - 80 dBm?
• Have you ever used a scanner during calibration in a network on air (do you have any documents describing the procedure)?
• After filtering from the prior test (BSIC / BCCH of the cell object of study), I have concluded approximately 4000 measurements (02 hours of Drive test with 40 km/h speed of the vehicle)) is it enough for a good calibration?

Thank you for your support.

no, and why you have a lot of Co. BCCH near to each other (it's so strange !!!!)

• Have you ever used a scanner during calibration in a network on air (do you have any documents describing the procedure)? I will check

• After filtering from the prior test (BSIC / BCCH of the cell object of study), I have concluded approximately 4000 measurements (02 hours of Drive test with 40 km/h speed of the vehicle)) is it enough for a good calibration?

no, but you can overcoem it by making a other drive tests in other areas belonging to the same clutter properties

Dear expert,

The same BCCH is used withe different BSIC at the same cluster due to the insufficient number of frequencies of the operator (5 Mhz = 26 frequency =18 BCCH + 8 MAlist for 150 sites at the same city with 800 m as a distance between sites!!!).

Can you suggest us a method to do the calibration in this complicate situation ?
