•Method •Pros •Cons
•Signal Level •+ Test can be automated
•+ Specialized test equipment not req’d
•+ Aligns well with coverage prediction
•- Does not consider localized noise and
interference environments
•- Does not verify digital system components
and overall system operation
•- Far removed from user experience (i.e. may
not be reflective of real voice quality)
•- Typically only used to measure one path
direction
•Bit Error Rate or
•Frame Error Rate
•+ Test can be automated
•+ Good measure of C/(I+N)
•+ Verifies some of the digital elements
•- Specialized test equipment required
•- Does not verify all system elements
•- Somewhat abstract from actual user
experience
•- Typically only used to measure one path
direction
•Voice (DAQ)
Testing
•+ Reflects end user experience
•+ Incorporates roaming impacts
•+ Automated data collection
•+ Specialized test equipment not req’d
•+ Exercises all system elements
-- Data evaluation is manual , subjective and
time consuming, or
-- Automated using expensive software
•- Difficult to ‘mine’ data to identify problem
origins (should they exist)
