In a radio parameter audit, we need to check entire RF parameter such as antenna height, cell
azimuth, electrical tilt, mechanical tilt, feeder cable type, feeder cable length, antenna
information (model with vendor information), Base station identity code (BSIC), allocated
ARFCN (absolute radio frequency channel number) in BCCH (broadcasting control channel),
Location area code (LAC) etc.
An example of RF (Radio Frequency) parameters audit is given bellow:
Digital camera.
Tilting meter.
Genex probe

Start collecting log files from the site access road of SSV (Single site
verification) radio base site to neighbor site access road, collect the log files in
both way, that means from the SSV (Single site verification) radio base site to
neighbor radio base site and neighbor radio base site to SSV (Single site
verification) radio base site.
Run the command sequence for mobile station-2 (MS2) and mobile
station-3 (MS3), cover the entire car accessible road surrounding (360
degree) of radio base SSV site. Please check the figure in bellow:
From mobile station-1 (MS1), we collect total coverage area of a radio base site
and received signal strength (RxLevel) , also we check cell mismatch (feeder
cable swap). An example of total coverage area and received signal strength
(Rxlevel) of radio base site is given bellow:

An example of serving cell footprint diagram is given bellow:

Abstract:
ARFCN:
"ARFCN means for Absolute Radio Frequency Channel number. There are 124
ARFCN in P-GSM, 175 in E-GSM, 375 in DCS 1800.
BCCH:
BCCH means for broadcasting control channel, it's a down link channel of GSM
air interface. BCCH carries system information of radio base station including
available features, configuration and identity.
Cell ID:
"Every individual cell of mobile network has a unique cell ID for own network,
also there is a cell global identity (CGI). CGI = Mobile country code (MCC) +
Mobile network code (MNC) + Location area code (LAC) + cell Id (CI)."
