Coverage Issue
Summary
After 5 site swap, Samsung team found that there is no coverage difference between
before and after swap
Before swap : Legacy network
After swap : Samsung network

Coverage difference is only 0.48dB, which it is not big and remarkable

Wired test result is also similar, there is no big difference (Tx power)
Legacy average result : 39.64dBm
Samsung average result : 38.93dBm

After 5 site swap, Samsung team found that coverage is almost
same before and after swap.

Field test
After 5 site swap test result (Rx_Lev)




Non-swapped cells coverage difference is 3.23 dB, but there are no change by
swapping. So when we calculate coverage, this value has to be applied by result
difference (in test route, non-swapped cells are also included)
After applying 3.23dB, Swapped cells coverage difference is 0.48dB
3.71 3.23 = 0.48dB
5 site swap Pre-swap Post-swap
Difference
(pre - post)

Swapped cells -61.95 -65.66 3.71
Non-swapped cells -71.87 -75.10 3.23 0.48
Non-Swapped cells pre and post coverage difference is 3.23dB even there is no
change in these cells. So while calculating final pre post swap cells coverage
difference this value (3.23dB) will also take care.(in test route, non-swapped cells are
also included)

Samsung G site is measured from coupling port, so some different values are
used for calculation
Legacy average result : 39.64dBm (tx power)
