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.
