Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the quality of 2G and 4G networks on Telkomsel operators in Gunung Talang District and Danau Kembar District, Solok Regency, West Sumatra. This research was conducted using the drive test method using TEMS Pocket and TEMS Discovery devices for network data collection and analysis. The 2G network measurements were conducted based on Rx Level and Rx Quality parameters. In contrast, the 4G network was evaluated based on RSRP (Reference Signal Receive Power) and SINR (Signal Interference to Noise Ratio) parameters. The measurement results on the 2G network show that the average Rx Level is at -85.1 dBm, with very poor signal quality reaching 27.14%, while the network quality based on Rx Quality is classified as excellent with an average value of 0.9 dB, which reaches 82.21%. On the 4G network, the average RSRP was -101.7 dBm with a good signal dominance of 30.68%, but the network quality based on SINR was lower, with an average value of 12.3 dB, where 46.98% of the signal was classified as fair. In addition, several bad spot areas were found to be affected by natural obstacles such as hills, cliffs, and tall trees that block the signal. The recommendation from this research is to optimize the nearest site to improve signal quality in these areas, especially to reduce overshooting problems that occur in certain sectors. This research is expected to be a reference for operators in improving network quality in the areas studied

Abstract

 Along with the development of the current era of globalization, human needs for telecommunications are also increasing, especially in the telecommunications sector. A technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE) was introduced, which is a fourth generation (4G) cellular network technology. LTE is capable of providing data transfer speeds of up to 100 Mbps on the downlink side and 50 Mbps on the uplink side. The growth in the number of telecommunications service users in Pariaman City has caused a decline in network quality, especially 4G LTE technology. Benchmarking (Comparison) of the quality of 4G LTE operator services is carried out by measuring, comparing, and analyzing the network quality (performance) of two 4G LTE operators in Pariaman City. The measurement process uses the drive test method with the G-Net Track Pro application to measure RSRP, RSRQ, SINR and Throughput in Pariaman City. The comparison results were obtained in Pariaman City for Telkomsel operators having network quality parameters RSRP with a percentage of 48.71%, RSRQ with a percentage of 61.11%, SINR with a percentage of 84.25% and Throughput with a percentage of 68.48% while Tri operators have RSRP values with a percentage of 59.74%, RSRQ with a percentage of 50.38%, SINR with a percentage of 85.68% and Throughput with a percentage value of 66.63%. In general, it can be concluded that Tri operators are included in the good category in terms of signal quality and integrity while Telkomsel operators are in the good category in terms of Coverage.

Abstract

This research discusses the comparison of Quality of Service (QoS) performance on 4G LTE and 5G networks in the Bekescsaba region, Hungary. The analysis was conducted based on five main QoS parameters, namely download speed, upload speed, jitter, packet loss, and latency, with the RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) measurement category. The results showed that 5G networks consistently outperformed 4G LTE in almost all categories. For example, in the Very Good category, 5G networks recorded download speeds of up to 196 Mbps, upload speeds of 91.5 Mbps, and latency of 25 ms, significantly better than 4G LTE. In the Good and Fair categories, the 5G network continued to show significant advantages in data speed and latency, although the jitter values were relatively comparable to 4G LTE. In addition, packet loss on both networks was recorded at 0%, indicating a high level of reliability. This study concludes that 5G networks provide a better experience in supporting modern connectivity needs than 4G LTE, even under less than optimal signal conditions. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for future telecommunications infrastructure development.

Abstract

Serpong District, South Tangerang City, is a densely populated urban area that requires reliable, high-performance 4G LTE network services. However, field measurements indicate that several areas still experience poor signal quality (bad spots), which affect user experience and network reliability. This study aims to analyze and optimize Telkomsel’s 4G LTE network using the Automatic Cell Planning (ACP) method. The optimization is conducted using drive test measurements with G-NetTrack Pro to identify bad spots, followed by network simulation using Atoll based on existing site data. Optimization is performed through antenna parameter adjustment, namely tilt and azimuth, and evaluated using a before-and-after comparison. Network performance is assessed using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), Download Throughput, and Shannon-based Cell Capacity. The results show improvements in RSRP, SINR, and cell capacity after optimization, while throughput remains stable and meets KPI requirements. This study contributes an integrated LTE optimization approach based on ACP that combines antenna parameter optimization and multi-KPI evaluation, including cell capacity using the Shannon model, in dense urban environments.

Abstract

This study evaluates the deployment of 5G New Radio (NR) Non-Standalone (NSA) operating on Frequency Range 1 (FR1) Sub-6 GHz in Bukittinggi, Indonesia. Field measurements were conducted using drive test methods to assess key performance indicators, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, and throughput. The results show that all measured RSRP values exceed –95 dBm, indicating good signal coverage across the test area. Approximately 71% of SINR samples are above 0 dB and 80% of RSRQ values exceed –17 dB, reflecting relatively stable channel conditions. However, 77% of throughput measurements remain below 10 Mbps, suggesting that achievable data rates remain moderate despite good signal quality. The analysis indicates that SINR has a stronger impact on throughput compared to RSRP and RSRQ. Although 5G NR NSA demonstrates superior signal quality compared to LTE, 4G LTE achieves higher data speeds at the measurement location. These findings highlight the influence of NSA architecture, bandwidth limitations in FR1 Sub-6 GHz, and network optimization factors on overall 5G performance.

Abstract

This study examines the optimization of Fiber To The Home (FTTH) network design using the Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) architecture through a geographic mapping approach between customer houses and Network Points (NP). The background of this research lies in the inefficiency of conventional FTTH design in rural areas where house distribution is irregular, often causing excessive cable usage and higher optical attenuation. The objective of this study is to compare a conventional design scenario, where NP placement follows the feeder route, with an optimized scenario that assigns each house to the nearest NP based on geographic proximity. A comparative design analysis method was applied using field observation data, estimated block dimensions, and visual network mapping. The findings indicate that the geographic mapping approach significantly reduces total cable length by 2,586 meters, primarily from shorter drop cables, resulting in a more organized cable layout and easier network maintenance. This optimization also implies lower material usage, reduced attenuation, and better network scalability. The results demonstrate that nearest-distance-based design provides a practical and efficient solution for FTTH deployment in rural environments with non-uniform house patterns.
