Hi All.

What all are the main functions of the scanner used in the Drive Test?

To check the coverage for different carriers.

And different technologies.

It is used for coverage drive in case of post deployment and in pre-deployment it can be use to identify any potential interference.

Scanner also used for CW testing for mode tuning.

Yes, right, for planning tool scanner CW measurements are rneeded to validate coefficients for each clutter type.

Then what UE does?

UE validates the service.

You can not make calls with scanner.

And UE has thresholds for handovers, IRAT events, interfreq events etc.

If we don’t connect UE, can it capture coverage samples?

Scanner works independent from UE.
