Cross sector

Prepared by Eng. Ahmed Montaser

Drive Test Introduction

There are 3 types of Cross sector
1- GSM cross sector
2- DCS cross sector
3- Total cross sector (GSM & DCS) cross sector

Prepared by Eng. Ahmed Montaser

Drive Test Introduction

1-Cross sector

This is the normal connection
