Reduce Drive Test Costs and Increase Effectiveness of 3G Network Optimization

This application note will describe how modern wireless operators can achieve increased network optimization efficiency by overcoming some of the typical shortcomings of a dated optimization strategy inherited from the 2G world. These shortcomings are a result of drive test campaigns and network element counts. They include lack of visibility on uplink activity, poor statistical relevance of data gathered and the high operating costs associated for each campaign.
