Abstract

A processing tool is described that enables the optimization of pilots at a particular traffic load. With the advent of CDMA (code division multiple access) RF coverage field instruments and a simple technique to characterize a cell´s traffic channel power with its traffic load one is able to reconstruct the forward link RF layers on a per pilot basis. By properly combining the RF layers, an accurate picture of the system under load can be obtained which can be used to optimize pilot coverage and diagnose link or parameter problems. This tool allows the use of field and traffic data for CDMA forward link optimization
