Kottayam 2021 Telecom Drive Test Report
Kottayam 2021 Telecom Drive Test Report
KOTTAYAM
Kerala
2021
November
Key Performance Indicators : All TSPs have met the Drop Call
Rate (DCR) benchmark of 2%. All TSPs have met the Call
Setup Success Rate (CSSR) of 95%.
The Drive Test has been carried out by Service Providers in KOTTAYAM SSA and adjoining SDCA
from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM; 16th November to 19th November 2021. The drive test covered drive
route of 380 KMs & 6 hotspot over a period of 4 days. Approximately 450+ calls were made for each
of the 9 networks: three 2G networks, two 3G network and four 4G/LTE network covering four
TSPs. BSNL has done testing for 4 G network in Kottayam city (as they do not have 3 G) and VIL
has all 3 Networks in Kottayam SSA.

Overview Summary
Summary
Overview
Regional Office, TRAI Bangalore conducted Operator Assisted Drive Test from 16th to 19th
November 2021 ccovering various locations in KOTTAYAM SSA and adjoining SDCA . The
performance of Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone Idea and Jio were monitored across various
technologies (2G, 3G, and 4G/VOLTE). The drive test route was defined on the basis of
several factors that include - areas from where call drop complaints are commonly received;
areas of heavy usage; residential areas away from arterial roads; important roads having
tourist traffic; etc. The test results obtained from these drive tests were utilized to assess
the network quality for Voice and Data services in terms of
Voice: Coverage, Quality, Handover Success Rate, Call Setup Success Rate, Drop Call
Rate and Block Call Rate.
Data: Download and Upload Throughputs, Web Browsing Delay, Video Streaming Delay
and Latency

I. Coverage Details
RF Coverage relates to the geographical footprint within the system that has sufficient RF signal strength
to provide for a call session. The Coverage rate is calculated on the basis of % of samples in which the Rx
level ≥ -85 dBm, RSCP is ≥ -90 dBm & RSRP ≥ -110dBm. The details are as follows.
