new experience in my life towards a wonderful life.
Thank you.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
This internship programme is to expose to student on working in real life days after their
graduation from university. Its important for them to prevent shock as they get too much of their
student life.For example of working field are Electrical Engineering,Mechanical
Engineering,Property Valuer,Quantity Surveyor, and Urban Regional Planner.
This 5 months internship experience is very important for the students to understand their field of
study deeper and even clear view. As in internship days,the student will learn to applicate their
learning in the classes into their work.For some reason,practical will give a different output
rather than theoretically. This is because, learning in class sometimes its hard to be understand
because the student need imagine somethings that they can’t even see with naked eyes.For
example,how to understand the movement of electrical current in a motor system?During
internship,the student can see the motor in front of their eyes and can give out some small
imagination of the current movement. This will aslo teach them to use the knowledge effectively
on their work.
Furthermore,internship also prepare the student towards working days. It automatically teach
them about their self discipline and be punctual at all time. Besides,it also help them to be more
confident when facing with all level of person. In addition,it also sharpen the student mind on
improving their soft skill which is not formally teached during the lecture. Problem which most
faced is on communicate well whether in English or Malay.
Problem faced is that some people can’t communicate well in English and some even can’t
communicate in Malay at all. By that,its up to student itself to solve the problem effectively so
that they can deliver the message needed to other people and the other people can understand it
well.After that, the student also will learn the integrity value during their work such as
honesty,dedicated,hardwork and other positive value to build a good character.
Finally,this Industrial Training give a chance for the student to work with senior engineers who
has already been in the field for a very long time.This chances is not easily obtain during their
working days as some company only accepted engineers with a few years experience to work
with them.They need to use this opportunity well to gain more experience.
3.0 OBJECTIVE OF INTERNSHIP
Internship teach the student to do their work in a correct procedure to give out a quality work as
needed by the company. Objective of internship are :
a) Exposing the students on a real life working experience suits with their courses thus
increasing their technical skill and student leadership.
b) Giving chances to the student to practically do their class lesson in their work
d) Teach the student on decision making on their given task based on their learning.
e) Learn to communicate with team mates and client besides to receive working orders
by the company and accomplish them in a given time.

Having international affiliation with the Kyocera group of companies. Propel Network gives vast
exposure to keep abreast with the latest in wireless communication technologies. Propel
Network focuses on new technologies and emphasizes on developing technical and soft skills of
its staffs.
In short, Propel Network is a sub-contractor company which gets the jobs from vendors like
Samsung, Motorola, Celcom, Digi, NSN, YTL and many more. The latest project which the
company focuses on was the YTL - YES WiMAX/VoIP 4G and LTE technology.
Propel network provide the service on improving telecommunication signal to its client such as
Huawei, Samsung, Nokia and other. There a two group of people in the company that work to
finsh all the assign project that have been trusted to them that is RF Optimization Engineer and
Drive Test Engineer.
TRAINING ROUTINE
For 14 weeks of internship,I was placed under project Huawei Umobile. The tests done on the
site is mobility tests and static tests. For this project we are acquired to use software named
Nemo Invex to perform the test.
Drive Test
All the data of the log file is given by the RF Engineer or also known as Drive Test Engineer
using Drive Test method. Drive Test is a test performed in cellular networks regardless of
technology (GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, etc. ...). Means collecting data on vehicle movement.
The analysis of drive test are fundamental for the work of any professional in the field of IT and
Telecom comprising two phases that is as data collection and data analysis.
Although through the analysis of KPI's we can identify problems such as dropped calls and
among others however the drive tests allow a deeper analysis in field. It identifying areas of each
sector of coverage, interference, evaluation of network changes and various other parameters.
The hardware and software used in the test are
The main goal is to collect test data, but they can be viewed or analyzed in real tie during the
test, allowing a view of network performance on the field. Data from all units are grouped by
collection software and stored in one or more output files.
Drive Test Routes
Drive Test routes are the first step to be set, and indicate where testing will occur. This area is
defined based on several factors, mainly related to the purpose of the test. The routes are done by
the DTA or Drive Test Engineer before given to the DTE. The route is given using Google Earth.
It a good practice is to trace the route on the same using the easy paths or polygons. The final
iage can then be brought to the driver.
Some software allows the image to be loaded as the software background (geo-referenced). This
makes it much easier to direct routes to be followed. It is advisable to check traffic conditions by
tracing out the exact pathways through which the driver must pass. It is clear that the movement
of vehicles is always subject to unforeseen events, such as congestion and interdicted roads.
Therefore, one should always have on hand - know - alternate routes to be taken on these
occasions.
Drive Test Schedule
The test can be performed at different times, whether day or night. A Drive Test during the day
shows the actual condition of the network especially in relation to loading aspect of it. Moreover,
a drive test conducted at night allows you to make, for example, tests on transmitters without
affecting most users.
Performance Analysis
Tests for Analysis Performance is the most common, and usually made into clusters (grouping of
cells) that is an area with some sites of interest. They can also be performed in specific
situations, as to answer a customer complaint
In integration testing of new sites, it is recommended to perform two tests,one with the site
without handover permission - not being able to handover to another site - thus obtaining a total
visualization of the coverage area. The other, later, with normal handover, which is the final state
of the site.
Marketing
Marketing tests are usually requested by the marketing area of the company, for example
showing the coverage along a highway, or at a specific region/location.
Benchmarking
.Benchmarking tests aims to compare the competing networks. If the result is better, can be used
as an argument for new sales. If worse, it shows the points where the network should be
improved.

Ping is a basic Internet program that allows a user to verify that a particular IP
address exists and can accept requests. Ping is used diagnostically to ensure
that a host computer the user is trying to reach is actually operating. Ping
works by sending an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request
to a specified interface on the network and waiting for a reply. Ping can be
used for troubleshooting to test connectivity and determine response time

TYPE OF TOWER AND POLE
There are a few types of tower that are found during we running the test.For example :
a)Normal Tower
b)Monopole
c)Tree Monopole
d)Rooftop building
Mobility is a map coverage of the reception area of the assign site. In the map it included
the SCR and the range of telecommunication area weather we get higher reception or not.
From there we can conclude how much we need to change the angle of azimuth antenna.
There are 4 part in SSV report mobility that is Coverage Map by Scanner, Coverage Map by
Long Call, HSPA+ and HSUPA.
The mobility log file is divide into that is Pre and Post. Pre is before the changes than
been made. It show how bad are the reception in the covered area. In Pre only the primart
sector shown. Meanwhile Post are after the changes been made. It show how much the
reception have improve. In Post it show both primary and secondary sector as there added the
secondary to improve the network.
In the scanner there a 3 type of map that is Best Server, Best RSCP and Best Eclo.
Best Server
Above in the example of Best Server for Pre. There must be a different in colour for each SCR to
avoid the confusion of colors in the road.
RSCP
RSCP or Received signal code power denotes the power measured by a receiver on a
particular physical communication channel. It is used as an indication of signal strength, as
a handover criterion, in downlink power control, and to calculate path loss.
As we can see the dark green colour show that the reception area at that place is good
,meanwhile the yellow colour show the decresing reception in that area.
Ec/No
Ec/No is a Quality & Capacity measuring Metric. It generally gives us the idea how good or
bad the link quality is. It can also be known as pilot channel quality energy per chip over
total receive power spectral density.
Coverage Map by Long Call
In the long call there are 4 part of map that is RSCP, Eclo, TX power and Sho. The RSCP and
Eclo in the same as Scanner map.
TX power
TX power or Transmit Power Control is a technical mechanism used within some networking
devices in order to prevent too much unwanted interference between different wireless
networks . The idea of the mechanism is to automatically reduce the used transmission output
power when other networks are within range. Reduced power means reduced interference
problems and increased battery capacity. The power level of a single device can be reduced
by 6 dB which should result in an accumulated power level reduction.
This is the example of map of TX power. As u can see in the index beside the map, from the dark
blue color to red show the decreasing of reception.
HSPA+
HSPA+ or HSDPA have two type of map that Throughput and CQI.
Throughput
The throughput of a communication system may be affected by various factors, including the
limitations of underlying analog physical medium, available processing power of the system
components, and end-user behavior
Map above is the Post of HSPA+ throughput. The reception area of this area is not that good.
The color chart show the decreasing of coverage from green to grey. In HSPA+ Throughput the
grey color or zero throughput must not allowed.
CQI
CQI stands for Channel Quality Indicator. As the name implies, it is an indicator carrying the
information on how good or bad the communication channel quality is. This CQI is for
HSDPA. (LTE also has CQI for its own purpose).
In HSDPA, the CQI utilizes link adaptation techniques to substitute power-control and
variable spreading factor.
As u can see this map got a zero throughput. it happened because the failure of the divice that DTE used
to collect the data. When they drive, somehow the internet connection suddently fail.
HSUPA.
Justification multisector HSDPA is a compilation of High Speed Downlink Packed Access that
have been drive for a several time to choose to choose the best that suit the KPI. The time of the
data taken also noted because the range of frequency is different. Below is the example of
HSDPA taken on different day and time.
Drive Test
All the data of the log file is given by the RF Engineer or also known as Drive Test Engineer
using Drive Test method. Drive Test is a test performed in cellular networks regardless of
technology (GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, etc. ...). Means collecting data on vehicle movement.

On this first week of internship,it was our first time to Propel Network Sdn Bhd located at Sec.32
Shah Alam,Selangor.We was greeted by Puan Salinawati,Sales Manager of the company.We
were given a briefing by her about slight history of the company and the do’s & don’t
guideline.Next,we had a short meeting with Ms.Yee Leng,Project Manager of the company.She
brief us on projects that are already ongoing at Propel Network throughout the time such as
YTL,ZTE,Huawei,Celcom and Samsung.She also note us that we will be divided to the groups
stated based on the needs of the project.I was assigned to do Huawei UMobile project,under the
consultation of Mr.Ryan & Mr.Hafizzul Azmeel.Next,I meet Mr.Ryan and had a small talk with
him.He assigned my friends and I to work at Johor under Huawei UMobile Southern Project.For
the first week,I was working with Mr Deva,senior engineer at the company.
For the 2nd week,I was assigned back to Johor and changed partner,be with Mr.Razman
Ramalan.On this week,I doing more on mobility task as assigned by Mr.Hafizzul.
In this week,I continue my work at Johor together with Mr.Razman and the jobs remains the
same.We carry out the mobility and static test repeatedly.The sites given are sometimes
occurring problems and sometimes,the test can’t be run well.
On this week,I only work for 2 days as on the 3rd day (9/12/2015) ,I had gone through a car
accident during the way back home form Kluang,Johor.It cost me a few weeks of rest .
In this week,I’m already back to Shah Alam and continue being a standby staff as I’m not fully
recover from my previous accident.
For this week,still be a standby staff at the central office. At the same time,start to join the staff
to make some report and understanding more about the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) when
running the drive test.
By this week,I’m starting to work as usual as myself already fully recover from past
accident.Back to Johor on Monday,and start working by Tuesday together with previous
partner,Mr Razman.For this week,we do more on Mobility Drive Test.
In week 8,I’m still partner with Mr.Razman. Doing more to Mobility Drive Test and some Static
Test on site the facing some KPI problem during the day.So,our supervisor had asked us to do
the test at night to achieve the KPI needed to pass the test.
I’m still working at Johor for this week and we do Mobility and Static Drive Test on given site
by our supervisor.
This is my last week at Johor before going back to Central Office.Still be partner with
Mr.Razman and continue on doing Mobility and Static Drive Test.
For this week,I’m working at the office by assisting some report making at the office.Besides
that,I’m also needed to come by UTM SPACE on writing a report about my previous accident.
On this week,I’m still a standby staff at the office and doing some reports with the staff.On
Friday,I’m came back to UTM to pass my incident report to PPD and HEMA
I’m back to Johor again this week.I was asked to change partner with Ifwat.We do more on
Static Drive Test on sites that have a bit problem and still not achieve KPI needed.
Still at Johor and be partner with Ifwat and doing Static Drive Test at given location.
Back to central office at Shah Alam.For this week,must office be standby staff as we prepared
for our presentation for the upcoming week.
At every middle day of the month (15th – 18th day),the Human Resources Department will ask us
on submitting our claim form and timesheet for the monthly salary procedure.Lateness of
submitting this 2 forms will bring us on lateness to receive the salary for that month.There are
few things that can be show about this procedure :
Expenses type
9.PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED DURING INDUTRIAL TRAINING
During doing the test,its important to find a suitable spot with a good RSCP number to obtain a
good result.Its a bit hard to find some good spots as we need to move and stop until good spot is
found.
2. Building/Obstacle Blockage
It’s a need to find a clear spot so that we can ‘shoot’ the line clearly from the Data Card to The
Tower.So whenever there is any other obstacle etc : tree or building will effect on the results
obtain.
3.Shortage of Staff
At this company,most of the DTE are in contract for 6 months.So,shortage of staff are always
happened thus the available staff need to do more works and sometimes make and over time
work.This is to ensure that the project given by the Main Company (Huawei) is done in a given
period.For some reason,some of us sometimes didn’t get and enough rest.
4.Shortage of Car
For us to go to sites given,we are given a car provided by the company.The problem is when the
number of cars is not equal to the people to go to site. So,some need to share the cars,for day and
night shift. It is a worry if the car is overheated when the car is used for the whole day.The risk
of dysfunctional or break down is quite high.
10.SUGGESTION
This is some suggestion so that it will improve the company and makes university internship
programme become better:
Company
University
From the first day I’m entering the Propel Network Main Office until today,I have to admit that I
have gained a lot of experience and new things to learn.Its a new experience for me to enjoy an
outside world instead of classes only as it is very different from campus life.I manage to
applicate things that I learned in the classes into this internship days.
I’m feeling very lucky to finish my internship here at Propel Network.I obtain a lot of new
knowledge throughout the day.Its my first time to get along with Drive Test with others
engineer.Besides that, I have been given chances to make decision on my own, learning how to
cooperate with members and be responsible for every single task that had been assigned.
Teamwork is very important to perform every reliability test. Besides carrier skills, I have also
improved my personality development especially communication skills. Many difficulties and
challenges my team and I have faced.
Producing technical documents like monthly report and others has helped improved and sharpen
technical writing skills. Visits and training has also enabled trainees to obtain resources and
information and also widen their knowledge. Many knowledge and experiences could be gain
throughout this training. Working in night shift especially had given me a brand new challenging
experience that I have never had. This would prepare me to a more challenging job in the future.
Finally, it has been a wonderful and knowledge enriching experience training here at Propel
Network. Much has been learned, from equipment troubleshooting, line problems, teamwork and
on to interpersonal skills. All this would certainly be of great help when it comes to obtaining a
real job after graduation.
