GSM: Drive Test Methodology: Tems Investigation *.*.* Data Collection

Architecture for drive test tools and Methodology platform

Setup: 

MS1: Idle mode

MS2: Long call

MS3: Short call 

 Test SIM cards (3)

GPS

Called party number (***….)

DC to AC converter

Vehicle

GSM Scanner (If required)

Post Processing Tool (If required)

You may use dB gain antenna to meet requirement of client at your own (.….)

Test Case Description

Drive defined route/area and make sure no data loss and always avoid overlap.

Network Integration Test:
• Call set up test
• Timeslot test, forced call test

GPRS Performance Test:
• Application Performance Test
• WWW, FTP, WAP etc.
• Mobility Test
• Cell Reselection, RA Update

Manipulation you can make based on your skill:
- Forced handover
- Lock on to Frequency
- Layer 3 messages Analysis on-spot

You can discard event mismatch by exporting, re-recording of Logfile.

Note: do not forget to follow this bible: 

 

Start Record Log-file –> Start Command Sequence –> Stop Command Sequence –> Stop Record Log-file

Five villages (300 acre from Kushtia) falsified by BSF

Bangladesh losing five villages (Mohammadpur, Chaidova, Dangerpara, Insapnagor and Purbokharjatak) from its country map. BSF does not allow local citizen to enter their land. Aksed ali, local farmer says; they are tensed because BSF entered Bangladesh territory and took our farming tools.

The BSF has interest in working to falsify maps to create complicated conspiracy, seize our farmers land and mobilize Indian farmers on to the falsely occupied land and start cultivating our land, Indian hegemonic attitudes: they are not only killing our people, but using the fertile land to benefit the Bharti farmers.
The people who live in enclaves do not see the borders. They speak the same language, eat the same food and live life without regard to the politicians in Dhaka and Delhi. But their grievance is lack of public services: with no education, infrastructure for water, electricity etc, they are as well not be citizens of India.

 Our government does not look into their living style because those citizens are barred to cast their vote against rolling Political party.

How to solve this dispute?.
