When co-sited, DTP method can be used to further

increase coverage prediction accuracy by up to 20%.

Traditional prediction problem
Normal coverage prediction
n Traditional propagation has error even after being
tuned;
n Traditional propagation can not consider the effect of
Parapet, and increase the single of Sidelobe and
Backlobe.
Case no consideration of the parapet wall, Prediction

result is optimistic
Prediction result Driver test result

Increase the accuracy of Prediction
Comparison between DT and Prediction based on 2G
nThe result include RSCP and Ec/Io between drive test and prediction
based on 2G is very close;
nThe signal level distribution is same between those;
