ISSUES FOUND:
RX signal level: When we enter into lift or when we move towards ground floor, the
signal level is getting decreased and it goes to poor level and also audio output is
coming. The signal to noise ratio is also getting decreased and audio output is
coming.
CONCLUSION:
After going through the analysis the following results can be taken.
1. GPRS/GSM network availability:
Inside office:
No. of downlink packet channels varies from 0 to 4 inside our office and
when we tries to access the network it is available and easily accessible. So
there is no problem in accessing the GPRS services inside office. GPRS
services are accessed easily with out congestion.
Inside lift or ground floor:
No. of downlink packet channels varies from 0 to 4 and 0 to 2 inside lift and
when we tries to access the network it is not available and can not be
accessible. So there is signal level problem in accessing the GPRS services
inside lift or ground floor. GPRS services can not be accessed due to weak
signal and non availability of network.
2. GPRS data speed:
Inside office
GPRS data speed varies from 14kbps to 28.12 kbps inside office.
It means that the GPRS data speed is ok and is in the acceptable limits only.
We are getting 100% success rate in accessing GPRS services.
Inside lift or ground floor:
GPRS data speed varies from 128 bps to 592 bps inside lift and ground floor.
It means that the GPRS data speed is poor and is to be improved. This is due
to non availability of network and poor signal level.

3. GPRS packet attempt success rate:

Inside office
The success rate is 100%. It means that there is no failure to access the data.
So GPRS services are available and can be accessed easily and can be
downloaded without fail.
Inside lift or ground floor
The success rate is 0%. It means that there is no success to access the data. So
GPRS services are not available and can not be accessed easily and failed to
download the GPRS services at this moment.
4. Signal level (RX level):
Inside office:
The RX level is varying from 48 dBm to 56 dBm. This is best level and no. of
neighbor cells is 5. So there is no problem regarding the signal level and
neighbor cells.
Inside lift or ground floor:
The RX level is varying from 53 dBm to 106 dBm. This is very poor level and
no. of neighbor cells is 5. So there is very poor receiving signal level and
network is not available at all inside lift and ground floor.
