Research and application of a daily monitoring method of WCDMA network quality along arterial highways

The communication quality of WCDMA network along arterial highways has always been the focus in wireless communication field. Drive Test (DT), as a traditional method, is high cost, time-consuming and inefficient. A new approach based on measurement report (MR) is proposed in this paper, and applied to network monitoring along the highways and railways, which is a necessary complement to traditional ways. A kind of searching algorithm and assessing approach of network quality is presented based on MR data, which is lower-cost, more accurate and efficient in a statistical sense.
