3.3 Deciding Test Route

3.3 Deciding Test Route

The KPI DT acceptance route is the core route of RF optimization test routes. Its optimization is the core of RF optimization. The following tasks, such as parameter optimization and acceptance, are based on KPI DT acceptance route. The KPI DT acceptance route must cover major streets, important location, VIP, and VIC.

The DT route should cover all cells as possible. The initial test and final test must cover all cells. If time is enough, cover all streets in the planned area. Use the same DT route in every test to compare performances more accurately. Round-trip DT is performed if possible.

Consider actual factors like lanes and left-turn restriction while deciding test route.
