At least 5 test points for each type are attempted. This may be difficult, depending upon the
actual deployment scenario. Results may yield a very large percentage in one of the categories.
For selecting an even spread across a 120-degree sector for a panel antenna installation, divide
the 120 degrees into 6 even slices of 20 degrees each. Then divide each slice into 2 Km
segments. This spaces each location at an approximate even distance throughout the complete
sector and yields 36 test sites.
To select an even spread across a 360-degree cell for an omni antenna installation, divide the
360-degree cell into 12 even slices of 30 degrees each. Next, divide each slice into segments
based on distance (1 Km or 2 Km, depending upon propagation). This will approximately space
each location an even distance from each other throughout the complete cell, yielding
approximately 48 test sites (based on a 4 Km cell radius). To do this, split the cell into 4
quadrants. Using the RF coverage analysis, select up to 16 locations per quadrant (Figure H1).
Pay particular attention to null areas and the cell edges. At these locations you will perform a file
transfer to measure the data rates available. The FTP/Location Test Tool program and the BTS
Beamforming Display tool will be used to record RF parameters during each test. Figures Y1 and
Y2 provide examples of simple guidelines for selecting an even spread across a cell area.
