17、uation on the antenna path of the field test equipment in order for this to emulate the real life scenarios. The model takes into consideration propagation within different environments, such as dense or spread urban areas, as well as in car and pedestrian scenarios. In addition, in order to provide

18、 the estimator, the model uses previously determined and known values for a set of parameters such as measurement and phone antenna gain, cable loss, car penetration, body loss. The model is not applicable in the HSPA environments requiring MIMO technology and in the LTE environment. 2 References 2.

25、t needs to be set up to emulate real-life mobile phone utilization scenarios as closely as possible. The complexity of this emulation increases with the number of elements present in the mobile phone antennas which use e.g. dual-polarized MIMO and automatic band switching techniques or other smart f

26、unctions. Generally, non-MIMO equipment uses a single external antenna mounted on the roof of the drive test vehicle. This external antenna is connected to the RF input of the equipment box, which then connects to the RF input of the phone that is found inside the equipment box (see figure 4.1). Fig

27、ure 4.1: Measurement equipment This set-up is beneficial to the signal strength (the RF power) that the phone receives and generates more optimistic results than a normal subscriber would experience. Therefore, an additional attenuator, characterized by the appropriate attenuation value, is required

28、 to ensure that the measurement configuration reproduces as closely as possible the real-life scenario. It should be noted, however, that there are a set of RF and electrical components involved in the measurements that compensate for the measurements imperfections to a certain extent. This is why a

29、 proper measurement set up requires the evaluation of the impact of these components (such as measurement antenna gain, cable loss, phone antenna gain, car penetration, and body loss) in order to estimate the minimum required additional attenuation to be inserted on the measurement path. 5 Real life

30、 scenario versus measurement scenario 5.1 Introduction While the values of the RF and electrical characteristics are generally specified by the manufacturers of the measurement equipments parts, the required additional attenuation value needs to be determined based on a measurement model designed to

31、 best emulate the real-life scenario. The model is based on the required equivalency between the real-life conditions and the measurement scenarios. ETSI ETSI TR 102 581 V1.2.1 (2015-11) 7 In a real-life scenario, which considers a subscriber using the phone inside the car, the power received by the

32、 phones antenna is given by equation (1) below: Pin,phone = Prf 1 + Atten(car) + Atten(human head) + Gain(antenna phone) dB (1) where Prf1 is the RF power at the phones location. The power is dependent on the path loss of the RF signal. The path loss depends on a set of environmental factors (such a

33、s the nature of the landscape, the type and the morphology of the measurement location, the geography of the location) described by the function F and the receiving antennas height h (see equation (2) below): PathLoss(h) = F(landscape, morphology, geography) + A(h) dB (2) The A(h) factor is also cal

34、led the correction factor and an approximate value of this factor can be calculated using Hattas equation for dense cities covered by micro cells with a small radius (about 1km) (see equation (3) below): A (h) = (1,1 lg (f) -0,7) h -1,56 lg (f) + 0,8 dB (3) where f(MHz) represents the carrier freque

35、ncy. For spread cities covered by macro cells with radius larger than 1 km, the A(h) does not depend on the frequency anymore (see equation (4) below): A (h) = 3,2 (lg (11,75 h)2 - 4,97 dB (4) In the measurements scenario, the received power by the phone comes through the external antenna mounted on

36、 the drive test vehicles roof and is given by (equation (5) below): Pin,phone = Prf 2 + Gain(external antenna) + Atten(ext antenna cable) + Atten(ME) + Atten(add atten) dB (5) where Prf2 represents the RF power at the external antenna location, and the measurement equipment is denoted ME. The term A

37、tten(ME) denotes the attenuation inserted by the path between the RF input of the ME box to the RF input of the phone, and includes connectors and cable loss. The measurement scenario emulates the real-life condition if the Pin,phone given in the both scenarios is the same. The term Atten(add atten)

38、 represents the attenuation that is required in the measurement chain in order to ensure that the measurement scenario emulates the real live scenario. 5.2 Case 1 of the Measurement Scenario If the measurements are performed using a car, then the antenna height is considered to be 1,5 meters and the

39、 equality 6 (6) takes place: Prf1 = Prf2 (6) The value of the required additional attenuation can be therefore calculated using equations (1) and (5) and the equality (6) (see equation (7) below): Atten(add atten) = - Gain(external antenna) - Atten(ext antenna cable) - Atten(ME) + Atten(car) + Atten

40、(human head) + Gain(antenna phone) (7) 5.3 Case 2 of the Measurement Scenario If the measurements are performed using a van, mini truck, or bus, then the antenna is higher than 1,5 meters. Assuming that the environmental factors remain unchanged and using equation (2), the following equality (8), ta

41、kes place. Prf2 = Prf1 + PathLoss(h) - PathLoss(1,5 m) = Prf1 + (A(h) - A(1,5 m) (8) The equation (8) is equivalent to a correction of the external antenna gain as it is described by equation (9), below: Gain(external antenna)_corrected = Gain(external antenna) + (A(h) - A(1,5 m) (9) Using the equat

42、ion of the external antenna gain (9), the value of the required additional attenuation (7) becomes equation (10), below: Atten(add atten) = -Gain(external antenna) - (A(h) - A(1,5 m) - Atten(ext antenna cable) - Atten(ME) + Atten(car) + Atten(human head) + Gain(antenna phone) (10) ETSI ETSI TR 102 5

43、81 V1.2.1 (2015-11) 8 The equation (10) gives the estimated additional attenuation value that needs to be inserted in the measurement configuration chain in order to ensure the equivalency between the subscribers and the measurement scenario. This allows the networks performance to be evaluated and

44、monitored from the subscribers point of view. 6 Estimation of additional required attenuation based on the measurement model Specific values for the electrical and RF characteristics of the field test equipments components are generally available from the component manufactures, as it is the case of

45、 external antenna gain, phone antenna gain and cable loss. In the case of characteristics such as body loss and attenuation generated by the equipment itself (connectors and cable), the values are estimated by special designed tests and measurements. The electrical and RF characteristics exhibit spe

46、cific dependencies on the frequency. Thus, only average values or a range of values can be provided. Table 6.1 presents the average values of the RF and electrical characteristics of the measurement equipments components. Table 6.1: RF and electrical characteristics of the measurement equipment Atte

NOTE 1: Usual average value across different

48、types of cars. NOTE 2: Average value known from published results of different tests (RADCOM, VERIZON tests, Test Forum of CDMA Development Group 2004). NOTE 3: Average value, but it depends on the phones type. Differences between phones might reach up to 3 dB. NOTE 4: Average value (see antenna spe

49、cs such as the MaxRad combo). NOTE 5: Average value obtained from a set of measurements on the ME. Based on the values presented in table 6.1 and the model presented in the clause 5.3, equation (10), the minimum required attenuation value can be determined for different antenna heights, frequencies and environments. Table 6.2 presents these attenuation values (including the attenuation of the antenna cable).
