Subject: Alcatel-Lucent KPI Optimization Test Plan
for LTE
Date: April 22, 2010
Version 1.0
ABSTRACT
This document provides a detailed test plan for KPI Optimization of the LTE field
technology deployment as detailed in the Verizon High Level Test Plan. The tests ill !e
e"ecuted in #oston$ %& and surrounding areas. The primary o!'ective of the
Optimization is to validate !asic KPI functionality$ evaluate performance of LTE &ir(
Interface functionalities. The scope of test cases included in this KPI Test Plan spans
several areas including access$ latency$ coverage and )apacity
