Notice items 1: Test Point Choice
 We shall choose the test point where the CPICH RSCP of target
sector is high enough and that of other sector is poor.
 The test points should be chosen near the site and ideally with
line-of-sight to the site.
 The test points should not be chosen under the site as the signal
of other sectors of same site is strong too.

Notice items 2: Test Route Choice
 The driving test route should connect the test points of the
sectors. It is required that signals not be shadowed by buildings
along the test route to avoid turning the test into a coverage test.

Problem Example for Site Verification
In the site verification, following problems have been found
 Scrambling Code Setting is wrong: The scrambling code from
scanner and mobile is different from the planning
 After feeder swapped, the CPICH RSCP is 20dB lower than
before.

Scrambling Code Setting is wrong
 The Scrambling Code may be wrong in RNC, check the datashe
et in RNC.
 If the Scrambling Code from scanner is the same as that of anot
her sector in same site planned, maybe the TX/RX feeder is cros
sed to the another sector.

Answers
After feeder swapped, the CPICH RSCP is 20dB lower than
before:
 The RX feeder is crossed to the antenna of another sector. In
this case, the CPICH RSCP will be high in the coverage area of
the other antenna. Check the connection between the feeder
and the antenna.
