Analyzing Measurements) was used to study and report the configuration,
performance and operation of the network based on the drive test data. -
Analyzing Drive-Test Log files for Handover, Site Coverage and Speech
Quality performance. - Analyze of TEMS measurements (GSM) and statistics
either for traffic, coverage or quality related issues or configuration
changes. -Involve with lead engineer in defining Drive Test routes and
Diagnose RF related problems:
Such as interference, call failures, HO failures, TCH/CCH congestion, bad
quality, poor coverage, hardware faults and missing neighbors and making
suggestion reports. - Used MapInfo for site acquisition maps, visualizing
drive tests, printing coverage and best server plots.
