 1 Introduction

1.1 The Network Challenge

Mobile operators depend crucially on their networks’ performance: for the satisfaction of their customers and for
the revenue that fuels their business and future growth. Operators around the world face the same challenges.
The latest technologies must be implemented without delay, customer demand for new services is constantly
expanding, and market forces hold down subscription rates. Yet despite these stresses, consistent high-quality
performance is indispensable for success.

A number of tools and monitoring systems allow operators to measure, evaluate and improve the performance of
their networks. Geographically positioned field measurements are critically important here, because no other
category of metrics can match their precision in pinpointing the exact location and nature of problems. For
example, while data sources such as network counters do provide significant information on performance, drive
testing delivers targeted information on network failures before network launch and the entry of commercial traffic.
Equally importantly, drive testing evaluates network performance from the end-user’s perspective, delivering the
information needed to improve customer satisfaction.

The capabilities of drive-test and troubleshooting tools can be applied to many activities that are required in the
course of a network’s life cycle:

• Site verification and acceptance • Optimization and maintenance

• Initial tuning (RF optimization) • Troubleshooting

• Network acceptance • Network verification

• Service quality monitoring • Benchmarking

Surveys show that bad user experience is the primary reason why subscribers change service providers, and that
very few users report their complaints to customer care. Consequently, it is essential to measure performance in a
way that captures users’ perceptions, and continuous network monitoring to locate and eliminate problems at an
early stage is necessary in order to maintain quality and grow the customer base.

1.4 Users and Use Areas

TEMS™ Investigation is the keystone of the most complete solution for troubleshooting, verification, optimization
and maintenance of wireless networks. Designed for in-vehicle, in-building and pedestrian-area testing, and with
an extensive array of powerful and versatile features, TEMS™ Investigation plays an important role for operators
who seek to increase accessibility, improve retainability and achieve better service performance.

Operators, consulting companies (contractors), RAN vendors, device vendors, universities and education
providers, government agencies and regulatory bodies around the world are TEMS™ Investigation users.

TEMS™ Investigation is used for multiple activities for multiple reasons, but the principal use areas are
associated with activities that ensure a smoothly operating and high-performing wireless network throughout its
life span.

Even before the first site is in place, TEMS™ Investigation is used to provide pathloss measurements as input to
network planning tools and site survey activities.

Single site verification is performed in order to identify problems introduced

during site installation and to validate equipment functionality. Measurements
are taken in order to verify cell coverage, hardware configuration and RF
parameter settings, as well as service accessibility and mobility. If acceptance
requirements are met, the site is released for RF optimization. Device control
functionality is useful in isolating cells and simplifying measurement
procedures. Handheld solutions are preferred, and the TEMS Pocket option
adds valuable flexibility to TEMS™ Investigation.

Initial tuning (RF optimization) is a labor intensive network optimization

activity, intended to prepare the network for commercial launch. Network
design, hardware installation and parameter settings are evaluated and tuned
in an iterative manner in order to maximize user experience from day one.
Signal coverage, interference situations and neighbor relations are in focus.
Powerful and efficient data collection and analysis tools are necessary here in
order to achieve cost-efficient work processes.

www.Infovista.com | 11
 Before a network is commercially launched it has to meet the stated
acceptance criteria. Field measurements from a user’s perspective are
performed on a cluster basis, and key performance indicators (KPIs) are
calculated and reported. Requirements related to signal coverage and
interference, as well as service accessibility, retainability, mobility and
integrity, have to be fulfilled. With its flexible reporting capabilities, TEMS
Discovery Device combines with TEMS™ Investigation into an excellent
solution for network acceptance.

The service quality experienced by users in a network is directly related to

the utilization of network resources. Greater numbers of subscribers, altered
subscriber usage patterns, new devices and applications, and an ever-
changing external environment are all factors that affect service quality and
force operators to conduct iterative optimization activities. Continuous
monitoring to locate and eliminate problems at an early stage is necessary to
maintain quality and keep customers. Regular service quality measurement
campaigns, conducted with drive-test tools, are important complements to
O&M/OSS statistics and customer feedback, and give operators a true view of
user-perceived service quality.
Network optimization is a recurring activity intended to maintain or improve
network performance. Field measurements and analysis tools play an
important role. Both reported and potential problems should be identified and
solved, the utilization of existing resources should be maximized, and
potential future changes to the network design should be identified. Network
optimization is a multifaceted activity which typically engages the complete
range of features of the drive-test and analysis tool.

Troubleshooting is conducted in conjunction with all other activities

performed. Users can explore findings related to site verification, initial tuning,
optimization and service quality measurement campaigns and present
solutions. They can also investigate issues raised by O&M/OSS systems and
customer complaints. Efficient troubleshooting demands the very best from
data collection and analysis tools. Advanced device control functionality is
vital, as are powerful analysis capabilities, when issues are to be detected,
reproduced, analyzed and solved.

www.Infovista.com | 12
 Implementation of new RAN features and services must be validated from a
user’s perspective. In addition, core network modifications that might impact
end users have to be assessed. Verification of new RAN features and
services requires leading-edge drive-testing tools that continuously evolve to
support today’s and tomorrow’s wireless networks. The drive-test tool must
support the devices that are needed to perform specific measurements.
Therefore, a broad device portfolio and rapid integration of new devices are
imperative.

The ability to benchmark mobile network performance is an important

requirement for many service providers and regulatory bodies. They need to
know what coverage and quality of service they can offer compared to their
competitors. Benchmarking of different devices regarding behavior and
performance is of interest for network operators and RAN vendors alike.
TEMS™ Investigation supports simultaneous measurements on multiple
devices, and with its multitechnology support, extensive device portfolio,
intuitive scripting functionality and fast integration of the latest technologies
and devices, it is a tool used for benchmarking worldwide.

Network and device vendors employ TEMS™ Investigation for multiple activities related to research and
development, verification and integration. Universities and training providers utilize TEMS™ Investigation in their
curricula to educate the next generation of engineers.

 3 Data Handled in TEMS™ Investigation
TEMS™ Investigation utilizes data from all of the following sources:

• Terminals: LTE, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, and CDMA air interface measurements

• Sensors: LTE NB and M testing, LoRa IoT coverage testing

• AQM modules: POLQA, PESQ, and other audio quality measurements

• Scanners: LTE, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, NB-IoT

• Wi-Fi adapters

• Data service testing software, integrated into TEMS™ Investigation

• GPS units, stand-alone or built into scanners

• Cell files: LTE, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, Wi-Fi

• Logfiles from TEMS™ Investigation and a range of other sources

3.1 Information Elements

Information elements are the building blocks of all quantitative presentations in TEMS™ Investigation. They are
gleaned from reports delivered by phones, IoT devices, scanners and GPS units. Being derived from these
sources, they contain:

• Air interface measurements (LTE, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, NB-IoT)

• Data service measurements

• Network configuration parameters

• Cell data

• Positioning data

The total number of information elements is well above 1,500.

3.2 Events
Events signify interesting occurrences relating to the operation of the connected equipment. Events are generated
by the TEMS™ Investigation software based on data received from these devices. Some examples of predefined
events are:

• Blocked Call, Dropped Call (UMTS, CDMA)

• PDP Context Activation Failure (UMTS)

• Radio Link Addition Failure (UMTS)

• Baton Handover (TD-SCDMA)

• Hard Handoff (CDMA)

• Traffic Handoff to EV-DO (CDMA)

www.Infovista.com | 34
 Events are a vital part of TEMS™ Investigation presentations and are often instrumental in directing the workflow
of the network engineer. They can save a lot of time in the troubleshooting and optimization processes, allowing
quick identification of problem areas – whether during drive testing or during post-processing.

The user can also define customized events by composing logical expressions, which may contain the following
types of trigger conditions:

• Occurrence of other event

• Appearance of Layer 3 message

• Value change of information element

• Value of information element meeting threshold condition (>, =, or <)

Allowed logical operators are AND, OR, XOR and NOT.

Below are some examples of user-defined events (for WCDMA). Their names tell what they are designed to
indicate.

3.3 Cell Data

TEMS™ Investigation can present data on the cell sites of the measurement area: location, power settings,
antenna configurations, etc.

Cell data can be provided in several ways:

• in a file with a TEMS™ Investigation specific format

• in an XML file whose format is common to multiple TEMS products

In either case the files are stored as plain text for maximum flexibility.

With the XML Cell File Editor, you can compose XML cell files, import and edit existing XML cell files, and export
contents in the XML cell file format.

Cell files used in TEMS™ Investigation CDMA (file extension .csv) can be converted to the XML format using
TEMS Discovery Device.

Supplying cell data enables a multitude of useful functions in the application. See section 7.9.

The XML format also supports definition of Wi-Fi access points, which can then be presented in TEMS™
Investigation in the same way as cells in cellular networks.

www.Infovista.com | 35
 4 TEMS™ Investigation modes
At startup TEMS™ Investigation offers the user a selection between two different modes to start the program in:

4.1 Professional mode

The Professional mode can be used to gather measurements, playback and analyze logfiles, create scripts,
configure devices and a lot more.

www.Infovista.com | 36
 4.2 Replay mode
The Replay mode can be used to playback and analyze logfiles.

5 Vehicles of Presentation in TEMS™ Investigation Professional

TEMS™ Investigation is equipped with the following means of presentation:

• Message windows

• Line charts

• Bar charts

• Map windows

• Status windows (text-format, tabular)

• Event Counter window

A large set of predefined windows of the above types are supplied, all of which can be freely modified by the user.
There are also blank line chart and status window templates which the user customizes from scratch.

Status windows are constantly refreshed, showing the situation at one instant in time, whereas maps and line
charts accumulate information and display the whole history of the testing session. All windows are synchronized:
When the user selects an arbitrary time instant in a map or line chart, the status windows are automatically
updated to show the parameter values current at this point in time.

5.1 Message Windows

Message windows are used to list Layer 3 messages, Layer 2 messages, mode reports and error reports from
external devices, as well as events generated in TEMS™ Investigation (see section 3.2). Below is the Layer 3
Messages window:

The window displays the name and direction (uplink/downlink) of each message as well as which protocol the
message originates from. A filtering function lets the user select precisely which Layer 3 messages to show.

www.Infovista.com | 37
 Message windows have a number of useful interactive features. Clicking a message freezes the window, so that
the details of the message and its context can be studied at leisure.

A special window is dedicated to the presentation of events; it displays the same event symbols as in maps and
line charts and supplies any extra information that may be associated with the events:

5.2 Line Charts

The line chart visualizes how numerical information elements evolve over time, also displaying at what points
events have occurred. The Line Chart window is subdivided into a number of synchronized panes. See the
cdma2000 example below.

www.Infovista.com | 38
 5.3 Bar Charts
The bar chart is primarily intended for presenting frequency scans (see sections 7.7 and 7.8), but is by no means
limited to that application. Any numerical information element can be presented.

5.4 Map Windows

Drive test routes can be presented graphically on a map of the investigated area. Measurement data and events
are plotted symbolically. The positions of cell sites can also be drawn, with the added possibility of indicating the
serving cell/active set throughout the test drive by means of successive connecting lines. A separate pane on the
right enables the presentation of auxiliary information, such as a map legend.

www.Infovista.com | 39
 The default settings for route markers (showing, among other things, signal strength) can, of course, be freely
modified by the user. Each route marker can code up to three information element values (marker size, color and
shape). Several markers can be drawn in parallel in order to show more data.

Clicking a map symbol displays the data it represents in the right-hand pane. Selecting an area enables
presentation of statistics for this area, as exemplified below.

A multilayer structure is used for the presentation data, just as for the elements of the map image itself. The
visibility of each layer can be controlled separately.

Other map features include panning, zooming, labelling of map elements and choice between different projections
(using GeoSet file). Maps can be in MapInfo, uncompressed TIFF, or bitmap format. Note that map plotting
requires access to positioning data.

information elements and events are shown in the top two boxes on the right. The third box holds cell
information.

www.Infovista.com | 41
 5.5 Status Windows
The status windows present information elements in tabular form. There are a number of ready-made windows
designed for presenting particular categories of information (such as signal strength or speech quality). In
addition, there is a blank template which can be used to compose status windows of the user’s choice.

WCDMA radio parameters (top left), LTE PCFICH/CFI Info (bottom left), HSDPA information (center),
HSUPA information (right)

Note that any pieces of information available in TEMS™ Investigation may be viewed together in status windows.
The blank status window template permits users to design their own status windows bottom up:

Two UMTS networks, A and B, are compared. A uses the AMR speech codec, whereas B uses the EFR
codec. The speech quality, as might be expected, is superior for A at the time instant shown. Also, A uses
frequency hopping while B does not (B has no “2nd Worst” C/I, since only a single channel is used). Two
phones are used for the measurements, one for each network.

www.Infovista.com | 42
 5.6 Event Counter Window
The Event Counter window keeps track of the number of times various events have occurred. The set of events to
show is completely user-configurable; a number of default tabs have been set up grouping predefined events into
categories (“Voice”, “Packet Switched”, etc. – see image below). Tabs can be freely substituted and renamed; for
example, a CDMA user might want to remove the GSM/WCDMA tabs.

Counters can be reset by the user at any time. In both recording and logfile analysis mode, counters are reset
automatically when a new logfile is opened.

 6 Collecting Data with TEMS™ Investigation

6.1 Technologies
This section focuses on data collection with user terminals. Regarding scanning, see section 6.8.

6.1.1 LTE
Data service testing can be done with LTE-capable UEs, also encompassing:

• LTE Advanced

• LTE Carrier aggregation (up to 6CA).

• VoLTE – Voice over LTE.

• CS fallback handover from EUTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN and back.

• SRVCC handover from EUTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN.

• RRC redirection from LTE to any of GSM, WCDMA, 1x or EV-DO (HRPD/eHRPD).

6.1.2 UMTS and CDMA

TEMS™ Investigation covers the whole of UMTS (WCDMA + GSM) and CDMA (EV-DO + cdma2000).

In both UMTS and CDMA, events are generated in connection with all handovers/handoffs. These include:

• WCDMA inter-frequency as well as inter-system handovers (in the latter case, compressed mode usage is
also indicated).

• CDMA hard handoffs as well as handoffs between cdma2000, EV-DO and cdmaOne.

6.1.3 TD-SCDMA
Voice and data service testing are performed with dual-mode TD-SCDMA/
TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA/GSM phones.

6.1.4 IoT
Service and coverage testing can be performed with IoT devices supporting LTE Cat. NB/M and LoRaWAN.

6.1.5 5G NR
TEMS™ Investigation supports scanning of 5G NR networks on mmWave and sub-6 GHz bands.

6.1.6 General Remarks on Data Service Testing

TEMS™ Investigation is capable of doing data service testing with almost any device. The only requirement is the
availability of Windows drivers that make it possible to set up an IP data connection. As a result, a wide variety of

www.Infovista.com | 44
 phones, smartphones, network cards, USB modems, embedded modules, etc., can be used. Any IP-based
activity as well as the video streaming activity in the Service Control Designer can be tested with such a device,
and all IP information elements will then be populated.

6.2 Logfile Recording and Transfer

The framework for recording logfiles is highly flexible, with a rich set of options allowing precise scoping of data
collection, and an elaborate file format structure that permits extensive storing of auxiliary data.

Logfile recording can be initiated in several ways: manually, as a side-effect of starting an indoor route walk, or
automatically as dictated by a script that is executing.

When starting a recording, you can enter metadata for the logfile (subject, tags and description), which is useful
for categorizing and locating files later on.

Multiple logfiles can be recorded at the same time, each recording being completely independent of the others.
The activities of one device can be recorded in several logfiles simultaneously. Conversely, for scripted recording,
you can exclude devices you do not want in the logfiles and record data only from a subset of devices.

Filemarks can be inserted in logfiles during recording to tag segments of particular interest.

To control the amount of data recorded to a logfile, different data streams (raw or refined) can be recorded and
logmasks can be applied.

Data is logged in a manner that minimizes the risk of data loss in case of hardware malfunctions, such as power
failure in the PC.

The PC clock and available device clocks can be synchronized with the GPS time prior to logfile recordings.

6.2.1 Recording Indoor Measurement Routes: Pinpointing

In indoor environments, where there is normally no line-of-sight to GPS satellites, data must be positioned by
other means. With TEMS™ Investigation this is achieved by pinpointing geographical positions on a floor plan or
other background image.

The mechanics of pinpointing can be approached in different ways. One method is to plan your route in advance,
then walk it and mark (“commit”) each waypoint as you reach it. Another method is to walk around without
constraints, just as in a drive test, and mark your positions on the map as you go along.

In either case, TEMS™ Investigation defines the route by joining consecutive waypoints with straight lines, and
the measurement data is assumed to be distributed evenly along each route segment. Therefore, to have data
positioned with maximum accuracy, you should walk your routes at a steady pace.

Floor plans do not have to be geographically positioned at the time of pinpointing; you can for example snap a
photo of the building evacuation plan and use that right away. (Your route is then stored in the form of image pixel
coordinates.) The image can be georeferenced later on with the Image Positioning utility or in TEMS Discovery
Device.

www.Infovista.com | 45
 6.2.1.1 Pinpointing Along Pre-planned Routes
Planned routes are created and walked in the Pinpoint Window. First you create your route by clicking
consecutive spots on the floor plan loaded, saving the route as part of the indoor map set. See the image below,
which shows a route (red line) defined by waypoints (pins). You can then walk the route and record your walk in a
very simple way: For each waypoint, click the “Commit” button (labeled with a plus sign) to indicate that you are
currently in that spot. Then click “Forward” to advance to the next waypoint.

The signal strength (or some other piece of data, such as application throughput) along the route is indicated by
the color of the dot-shaped markers.

6.2.1.2 Freehand Pinpointing

In “free-ranging” indoor testing, you indicate your route by regularly clicking or tapping your current position on the
screen, creating waypoints as you go. This can be done either in the Pinpoint Window or in a Map window. Below
is a Map window screenshot showing a testing route with waypoints in the form of black diamond-shaped
markers. As in the Pinpoint Window, measurement data is plotted along the route as colored dots.

In the Pinpoint Window, a manually pinpointed route can optionally be saved with the map set for later reuse, just
like a pre-planned route.

www.Infovista.com | 46
 6.2.2 Automated Logfile Transfer
You can set up TEMS™ Investigation to automatically transfer recorded logfiles to a designated FTP server, over
the air or via an Ethernet connection. This mechanism serves to simplify ways of working and reduce lead times,
always providing quick access to the latest logfiles throughout the organization.

In setting up the FTP transfer, you enter FTP server and login details and configure a number of parameters. The
file transfer can be either manual (initiated by the user on each occasion) or automatic (triggered when the
recording of a logfile ends). Logfiles are automatically compressed prior to transfer so as to minimize the amount
of data to upload.

6.3 Service Control Scripts: Test Automation

The service control tool is used to compose scripts that automate service testing – PS as well as CS. The tool is
accessible from inside TEMS™ Investigation as well as from Windows Start Menu. Scripting guarantees
consistency of measurements, with tests executed in a uniform and rigorously controlled manner. Scripts also
allow you to create advanced testing setups that would be awkward or impossible to manage by operating
devices manually.

Scripts are assembled in the Service Control Designer, where they are visualized in an intuitive flowchart format,
as shown in the screenshot below. Activities are picked from the left-hand pane and inserted by drag and drop at
the desired position in the workflow.

Scripts can be structured using control logic: loops, branching, if-else conditions, sequences and more.
Synchronization of devices is implicitly done wherever workflow branches converge.

Details on servers, call recipients and other entities to interact with are encapsulated in separate configuration
sets which can be reused across scripts. Scripts can be saved with or without the configuration sets – the former
being handy if you want to distribute the script for use on a different PC.

Predefined building blocks (“snippets”) are provided for all supported services, speeding up script building.
Snippets can of course be freely modified to suit your individual needs, just like any other components of a script.

assigned to the called party.

6.3.1 Testable Services and Protocols

Service testing can be scripted for:

Voice and video calls over CS Video streaming (live/on-demand)

Voice/Video over IP (VoIP/VoLTE/ViLTE) E-mail
FTP download/upload MMS
HTTP download/upload SMS
Dropbox, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Skype,
WAP
Twitter, Weibo, WhatsApp
TCP Ping
UDP Trace Route
Available bandwidth measurements All scanning tasks

www.Infovista.com | 48
 Further valuable service testing features are as follows:

• Multiple concurrent data service sessions can be run on the same device. This extends to multiple instances
of the same service: for example, parallel FTP downloads.

• Special script activities are provided for network connect/disconnect, PS attach/

detach and IP sniffing.

• The execution of a script can be monitored, step by step, in the separate Service Control Monitor window.

6.3.2 Some Service Testing Features of Particular Interest

Please note that the parameters mentioned below are just a small sample of the full set of configurable
parameters.

CS Voice
POLQA or PESQ for audio quality measurement. See section 6.4.
Automatic call sequences with alternating MO and MT calls, conducted with
CallGenerator as other party.
VoIP/VoLTE/VoWiFi
VoLTE/VoWiFi (Voice over LTE/Wi-Fi) can be tested with an on-device client.
Speech codec and speech codec rate selectable.
sQLEAR, POLQA or PESQ for audio quality measurement.
Extensive set of VoIP jitter buffer metrics computed.
ViLTE
ViLTE (Video over LTE) can be tested with an on-device client.
Rich set of VQmon RTP stream metrics obtained.
FTP
Optional SSH-encrypted file transfer using SFTP.
Possible to download multiple instances of a file concurrently to increase load.
Possible to distribute a download over multiple threads.
HTTP
Choice between built-in HTTP client and Internet Explorer as Web browser.
The client can use multiple concurrent threads in handling the HTTP session. The main
URL specified in the activity is downloaded only once, regardless of the number of
threads.
The HTTP session can be set to end automatically after a user-specified length of time,
counted from the moment the first HTTP packet is received from the server.
The HTTP session can be set to end automatically after a user-specified amount of data
has been downloaded.
TCP and UDP
The Network Bandwidth activity gauges maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth
performance by interacting with an Iperf server. Either Telnet or SSH2 is used as
connection client. Unlike the Telnet protocol, which sends logins and passwords in plain
text, SSH2 uses cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and therefore renders
the Iperf server less vulnerable to hacker attacks.
A further UDP testing activity, independent of Iperf, is also provided.
Available Bandwidth Measurements (Blixt™)
TEMS’s own algorithm for available bandwidth measurements: See section 6.5.
Video Streaming

www.Infovista.com | 49
 Both on-demand streaming (downloading a video clip of known length) and live
streaming (tapping into a live stream or repeating playlist) are supported.
Streaming over HTTP as well as WAP-based streaming are testable.
Configurable prebuffering and rebuffering durations.
VSQI/MTQI, VQmon, or PEVQ-S for quality assessment.

Configurable maximum number of hops to destination and hop time limit

6.4 Obtaining POLQA/PESQ and Other Audio Quality Measurements

Audio quality measurement (AQM) in TEMS™ Investigation can be done in a number of contexts and hardware
configurations. A summary of currently available AQM solutions is given in the following table:

Receiving Audio AQM Section

Service Audio Source Call Type
Source Algorithm Ref.
On-device client/
On-device client M2M/M2F POLQA 6.4.1
CallGenerator
CS voice
ACU R2/
ACU R2 M2M/M2F POLQA 6.4.2
CallGenerator
or
VoIP/
PC client PC client M2M PESQ 6.4.3
VoLTE
VoLTE On-device client On-device client M2M sQLEAR

www.Infovista.com | 50
 Irrespective of scenario, audio quality measurement is always controlled by a Service Control script in TEMS™
Investigation.

The AQM output encompasses POLQA or PESQ, both of which are estimates of listener-perceived speech
quality, as well as a suite of further measurements.

Downlink AQM data is written to regular TEMS™ Investigation logfiles. Uplink AQM data (obtained in M2F setups)
is stored in XML files. To merge the uplink AQM data into the logfiles, a special export function is used.

To obtain accurate POLQA and PESQ MOS scores when using all types of M2M configurations, you need two
identical devices.

6.4.1 AQM with On-device Clients

This is the simplest hardware configuration, involving only the PC and mobile devices which call other, taking
turns to play and receive audio. Alternatively, an on-device client can engage a fixed-line subscriber (e.g., a
CallGenerator). The AQM computation can be done

• on the mobile devices themselves by the on-device clients, or

• on the PC; in this case the audio is extracted in digital format from the mobile device IP stack and transferred
to the PC.

When a CallGenerator is used, it handles the calculation of uplink AQM scores.

On-device client AQM is applicable to CS voice as well as VoIP (see section 6.4.3).

6.4.2 AQM with Audio Capturing Unit (ACU R2)

This AQM method measures audio quality during CS voice calls in one of six available languages (English (GB
and UK), Chinese, German, Polish and Turkish). Each mobile device is connected to an Audio Capturing Unit
(ACU R2), which relays the audio to the PC where the quality scores are computed. The ACU R2 supports
connection of up to four mobile devices.

AQM with ACU R2 can be realized in a variety of hardware configurations:

• M2M, mobile-to-mobile calls between two phones connected to the same ACU and controlled by the same.

• Multi-location M2M calls with mobiles residing in different locations, each connected to a local ACU and
controlled by a local instance of TEMS™ Investigation.

• M2F, mobile-to-fixed calls, where a phone connected to the ACU dials a subscriber in the fixed network, for
example a CallGenerator. When a CallGenerator is used, it handles the calculation of uplink AQM scores.

Each of these setups can be expanded up to the full capacity of the ACU R2, meaning that up to four phones can
be connected to each PC used. The setup types can also be mixed in various ways.

An ACU R2 can optionally be used in AQM configurations for (on-device client) VoIP as well, as mentioned in

 6.4.3 AQM for VoIP/VoLTE
Audio quality measurement for VoIP/VoLTE can be done in two ways:

• If PC-based VoIP clients are used, the VoIP caller and callee are connected to two different PCs, each
running an instance of TEMS™ Investigation. No auxiliary hardware modules are used in this case.

• Another approach is to use on-device VoLTE clients. In this case only a single PC is needed, having two
devices connected which call each other using their built-in VoLTE clients (controlled by TEMS™
Investigation). ACU R2 units can optionally be used in this setup.

6.4.4 AQM based on machine-learning algorithm sQLEAR

Infovista’s sQLEAR voice QoE predictor is a new and unique solution. It provides cost-effective and accurate
evaluation of voice quality trends and enables predictions of future QoE delivery. In addition, it can be used to
perform monitoring, benchmarking, and troubleshooting of MNO voice services. sQLEAR ensures operational
efficiency for MNOs through effective troubleshooting of IP networking and the underlying transport layers.

Figure. sQLEAR delivers a calculated MOS score based on machine learning from thousands of hours of drive test data.

6.4.5 Generic AQM for Arbitrary Voice Services

TEMS™ Investigation is also capable of measuring audio quality for voice services such as Skype, Facebook
Messenger, Google Talk, WhatsApp, or any other OTT service. The call needs to be set up manually because
of the proprietary signaling involved, but once the call is established, you can play sentences from an ACU R2
unit on the connection and collect the same AQM data as for a CS or VoLTE voice call.

A general disclaimer needs to be made regarding the reliability of the AQM output for arbitrary voice services,
since the ACU R2 is primarily intended for and tuned for CS voice and VoLTE.

 6.5 Available Bandwidth Measurements: Blixt™
As is well known, mobile network performance depends crucially on the radio environment, which is subject to
very rapid fluctuations. For example, Rayleigh fading conditions change on a millisecond basis, as do scheduling
and cross-traffic (such as data from other users). Nonetheless, mobile network operators are expected to be able
to maintain uniform bandwidth availability to all customers who are paying for a given service level (or class,
or experience). Accomplishing this requires metrics and measurement tools designed specifically for the wireless
environment.

When performing such measurements in live commercial networks with paying subscribers, it is important to
avoid affecting the subscribers’ quality of experience. TEMS patent-pending approach to Available Bandwidth
Measurements (ABM), trademarked as Blixt™, solves this problem by keeping the level of test and
measurement intrusiveness to an absolute minimum. The Blixt algorithm identifies the throughput that can be
delivered over the measured wireless link at a given place and at a given point in time.

available
bandwidth

1 second time

The black line curve indicates the true available bandwidth as a function of time. The red bars represent
Blixt data bursts: short, intense “chirps” with much longer pauses in between. The peak load is high
enough to hit the network’s theoretical maximum, while the average load is kept low. This scheme allows
sounding out the available bandwidth while still making minimum use of network resources. Using short
bursts also meets the requirement of a high temporal resolution: at least once in a while, we can expect
optimal radio conditions to prevail throughout a data burst (provided that the network configuration and
the device’s position permit this in the first place).

Some further properties of the Blixt ABM technology:

• The algorithm adapts to network configuration parameters, in that the amount of data sent is adjusted
according to the network’s maximum throughput while keeping the level of intrusiveness to a minimum at all
times.

• The packet train transmissions are designed to make full use of the maximum bandwidth, without the
throughput rate being limited by slow-start or low-load scheduling mechanisms.

• The whole setup is based on a device communicating with an ABM server, where the server reflects the
packets back to the device, including timestamps and other information included in the packets. The device
can then easily be configured to test the performance of different parts of the network by accessing different
servers.

 6.10 Network Cell Related Functionality

6.10.1 Cell Whitelists: Limiting Testing to Designated Cells

A common constraint in testing of cellular networks is to restrict tests to a predefined set of cells: for example,
verifying a new or reconfigured cell cluster, or performing some procedure that would disturb regular network
operation unless it is limited to cells that have been specially configured for the purpose.

To ease the execution of such tests, TEMS™ Investigation lets the user specify a list of allowed cells
(“whitelist”). The list is converted into an event, which will be generated whenever the user is camping on an
allowed cell. The event in turn can be used in a script as a condition for triggering some action.

Top left: Cell whitelist as plain text file. The “#” line indicates MCC and MNC, while each line beneath it
specifies one cell in terms of TAC and cell identity. For WCDMA, the RAC has been omitted in this case.

Right: Whitelist event used as Wait For trigger in a script. When the event occurs, the script proceeds to
dial a call. It then returns to the top of the while loop, waiting for the whitelist event to be generated once
more to verify that the user is still in an allowed cell.

www.Infovista.com | 58
 6.10.2 Loading Cell Site Data
TEMS™ Investigation can load data on the cell sites of the measurement area. All of the following technologies
are supported: LTE, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, cdma2000, EV-DO and Wi-Fi (access points).

Cell files follow a tab-separated plain-text format or an XML format. The latter is shared with Mentum CellPlanner
and spans all of the supported cellular technologies. All cell site information is merged into a single XML file.

The tab-separated format used by TEMS™ Investigation CDMA (file extension .csv) can be converted to the XML
format using TEMS Discovery Device and can then be read by TEMS™ Investigation.

 7 Analyzing Data with TEMS™ Investigation
This chapter spans a large number of data presentations offered by TEMS™ Investigation Professional and
Replay. Together they exhibit the power of the TEMS™ Investigation concept, where simple building blocks –
information elements and events – can be freely selected and combined into almost every conceivable kind of
presentation, where all windows are synchronized. The windows that display the data can be reconfigured at
every step to suit the purpose at hand, and any customizations that you do can be saved in the workspace.

Note once again that logfile data from TEMS Automatic and TEMS Pocket can also be loaded into the application.

Regarding the far-ranging data presentation and analysis capabilities of TEMS Discovery Device, please consult
the Technical Product Description dealing with that product.

cell RS CINR.

Cell frame timing in a synchronized LTE network. The two charts show the same data at different
resolutions: cell frame timing offsets of neighbors relative to the serving cell. In the top chart, where the
y-axis spans a very large range of possible offsets (measured in LTE Ts units = 1/[30.72 × 106] s), we can
see that the timing for all cells is very nearly the same. This shows that the cells are synchronized. In the
bottom chart, the y-axis is zoomed in to +/– 70 Ts units to exhibit the small offsets that do appear. These
are due to propagation delay arising from device-to-cell distance and from reflections.

 Comparison of synchronized and unsynchronized LTE networks. In both windows, line 1 represents the
serving cell, and subsequent lines represent neighbors. The left-hand window shows synchronized cells,
whose timing values are near-identical (just as in the line chart above). In the window on the right, on the
other hand, the neighbor’s timing is completely different from the serving cell’s, demonstrating that this
network is not synchronized.

The distribution of symbols used gives an indication of the number of active users in the cell. A higher
number of allocated symbols means more active users in the cell and thus higher cell load.

7.1.3 GPRS
With a Sony Ericsson phone connected, TEMS™ Investigation is capable of measuring GPRS parameters at the
timeslot level. In the Data Timeslot window, the C/I ratio, bit error rate and block error rate are given separately for
each timeslot in use, enabling the user to pin down the extent and also the causes of interference problems with
greater precision.

www.Infovista.com | 64
 Lines 1–5 show that the performance of timeslots TS5 and TS7 is good, with excellent C/I readings of 20
and 17 dB and consequently a zero bit error rate. However, conditions are less favorable on TS6, where a
shaky C/I of 2.6 dB announces a problematic interference situation. Here, the bit error rate is much
higher, as expected (6.3%), forcing some retransmissions (nonzero BLER).

Lines 6–8 break down the PDCH utilization in each timeslot into own data, other users’ data, and control
signaling. Together with the retransmissions (BLER figure), these numbers add up to 100%. These
statistics shed light on throughput figures; for example, if the throughput is low, one can see whether this
is due to frequent retransmissions or to strong competition for network resources. The uplink statistics
are the same, except that no distinction is made between unused blocks and blocks occupied by other
users.

Lines 9–12 show GPRS coding scheme usage. If an EGPRS phone had been used, the corresponding
MCS (modulation coding scheme) distribution would have been shown instead (only the first two MCS
lines appear in the above screenshot).

7.2 Monitoring Handovers

TEMS™ Investigation enables monitoring of all kinds of handover occurring in UMTS:

• GSM handover

• WCDMA intra-frequency handover

• WCDMA inter-frequency (“hard”) handover

• Inter-RAT handover (GSM–WCDMA)

Similarly, TEMS™ Investigation keeps track of the various types of handoff employed in CDMA networks,
including:

• Hard handoff (to another frequency, a different band, a different pilot set, or another frame offset, or a
combination of these)

• Handoff between cdma2000, cdmaOne and EV-DO

WCDMA Handover Analysis window. This window shows in minute detail how the WCDMA active set
evolves over time and specifically in the course of soft handover procedures. In the Intra-freq Cells
column is displayed the neighbor list of the currently strongest cell. This list is obtained from System
Information blocks (SIBs).

7.3 Monitoring ANR (Automatic Neighbor Relation) Activity

ANR, Automatic Neighbor Relation detection, is an automated mechanism for adding neighbor cell relations that
are missing in the network. The actual measurements involved in scouting for new neighbor candidates are
delegated to the UEs, which report their findings to the fixed side. On the basis of this data, neighbor lists are then
supplemented as appropriate.

www.Infovista.com | 67
 ANR activity in the network. In this example, the ANR Information window indicates that the UE is told to
report CGI for the cell with PCI 38, and the highlighted event in the Events window shows when this
happens (11:36:41.089). The cell is on the same frequency as the current serving cell (“Intra-frequency
neighbor”).

7.4 Monitoring Voice in UMTS

Below is shown a small selection from the range of presentation windows available for studying GSM and
WCDMA voice calls.

7.4.1 Serving/Active Set + Neighbors WCDMA

The Serving/Active Set + Neighbors WCDMA window lists all members of the active set as well as monitored
(“MN”) and detected (“DN”) neighbors. The strength of each scrambling code is presented in terms of CPICH
Ec/N0 and CPICH RSCP.

www.Infovista.com | 68
 7.4.2 Serving + Neighbors GSM
The Serving + Neighbors GSM window presents the BSIC and ARFCN of the serving cell and of up to 32 of the
strongest neighboring base stations. The window also presents the path loss and cell reselection criteria (C1 and
C2) as well as the GPRS signal strength threshold and cell ranking criteria (C31 and C32). A second version of
this window is also provided where cells are sorted by frequency band.

The CDMA Active + Cand + Neigh Set window lists all members of the active, candidate and neighbor sets. The
strength of each pilot is presented in terms of Ec/I0.

www.Infovista.com | 69
 7.5.2 Coverage Analysis
In a heavily loaded CDMA system, coverage testing is essential to ensure that voice quality is not being sacrificed
for system capacity. The pilot strength or Ec/I0 and frame error rate are measured to analyze coverage area. The
pilot channel is a good indication of the coverage area because it always broadcasts with a consistent energy.
TEMS™ Investigation can present this indicator as plain text or in a line chart.

Line chart showing CDMA active set member count and Ec/I0 for each member (top subchart), pilot set
Ec/I0 for each pilot set member (middle subchart) and frame error rate (bottom subchart).

7.6 Scanning: LTE

7.6.1 LTE Reference Signal Scan

Reference Signals in LTE are used for channel estimation. The line chart that follows tracks measurements of
Reference Signals. The following quantities are plotted:

www.Infovista.com | 70
 • RSRP – Reference Signal Received Power

• RSRQ – Reference Signal Received Quality. Defined as N × RSRP / RSSI, where N is the number of
resource blocks across which RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) was measured.

Comparing with WCDMA, RSRP is similar to RSCP (Received Signal Code Power) measured on the WCDMA
common pilot, while RSRQ is similar to WCDMA Ec/N0. Therefore (although the details differ slightly between the
technologies), it can be said generally that RSRP measurements tell whether the cell is interference or coverage
limited, while RSRQ measurements give indications of excess interference in unloaded or loaded cells.

LTE Reference Signal scanning. The first two charts show RSRQ and RSRP respectively, summed over all
Tx ports. The third chart shows RSRQ for each Tx port.

The Map window presentation of LTE cell data includes serving cell indication. Cell names and the distance to
each cell are given in analysis windows:

www.Infovista.com | 71
 7.7 Scanning: WCDMA

7.7.1 CPICH and SCH Scanning

7.7.1.1 Presentation in Bar Charts: CPICH Scan

CPICH scan data is presented in the CPICH Scanner bar charts. One predefined bar chart is provided for each
UMTS frequency scanned. The bar chart can also be configured to show all scrambling codes scanned,
independently of frequency.

The bar chart by default presents peak Ec/I0 for each scrambling code found. It can be sorted by scrambling code
(with bars either drawn at fixed code index positions or simply sorted in order of increasing index) or by code
power (increasing or decreasing).

An accompanying status window shows code power parameters and some other parameters associated with
these:

7.7.1.2 Presentation in Line Chart: CPICH Pilot Pollution

The CPICH Scanner line charts (again, one chart is provided for each UMTS frequency) are completely user-
configurable, like other line charts. If desired, scrambling codes from all scanned frequencies can be presented in
the same line chart. The default configuration, however, is as follows:

www.Infovista.com | 72
 Line chart depicting CPICH pilot pollution

The charts present the five strongest scrambling codes on one UMTS frequency: aggregate Ec (top) and
aggregate Ec/I0 (bottom).

The text pane on the left glosses one of the charts at a time.

The text pane on the right shows the CPICH pilot pollution situation.

7.7.1.3 Presentation of Synchronization Channels

The Synch Channel Data window presents Ec and Ec/I0 for code words on the synchronization channels P-SCH
and S-SCH.

7.7.1.4 Missing Neighbor Detection: Optimizing Neighbor Relations 1

If one WCDMA cell which is not defined as a neighbor is found to cause interference with the active connection, it
may be a good idea to include that cell in the neighbor cell list. Then, if the cell in question enters into the active
set, instead of acting as an interferer it will contribute a useful signal (i.e. add to the soft handover gain). Spotting

1 Requires either SIB decoding with scanner or loading of a cell file.

www.Infovista.com | 73
 cells with such properties is referred to as “missing neighbor detection”. An event (based on scanner data)
indicating this situation in WCDMA is provided in TEMS™ Investigation.

Along this route, there are repeated indications of a missing neighbor (the events represented by the
“bars” symbol). Event details are shown for the highlighted event.

While potentially very useful, addition of neighbors must still be done with caution, since a high number of soft
handovers will strain system resources. Also, the distance between the cells must be considered. Cells too far
removed from each other should not have a neighbor relation, since terminals far away from a cell site may cause
severe uplink interference.

7.7.2 CW Scanning
This method scans specified UMTS frequencies, UARFCNs, for a continuous wave (CW) signal. CW
measurements (performed in conjunction with a test transmitter) are suitable for tuning of propagation models and
for site acquisition.

A bar chart displays RSSI for each UARFCN scanned.

www.Infovista.com | 74
 7.7.3 Spectrum Analysis
This method scans the whole spectrum allotted to the cellular technology, or a user-specified segment of it, and
presents RSSI as a function of frequency in the chosen band. Spectrum analysis is particularly useful for spotting
external narrowband interferers, and for verifying the characteristics of the wideband signal. The scan resolution
is adjusted by the user (maximum sample spacing: 5 kHz).

 7.7.4 BCH Scanning

Output from BCH scanning. System Information Messages are continuously scanned and decoded. These
messages are listed in the Layer 3 Messages window; one has been opened to reveal the contents of
System Information Block 7 (Message Details window). In the WCDMA Finger Info window (see below) are
given the RSCP, Ec/N0 and timing (slot position) of each Rake finger.

7.7.5 Network Scanning

This method searches one or several WCDMA frequency bands for WCDMA carriers (UARFCNs). On each band
the search range can be freely customized. The user also sets Ec/N0 and RSSI thresholds for WCDMA cell
detection.

 7.7.6 Exporting Scan Data to Mentum CellPlanner
CPICH and CW scan data (sections 7.7.1, 7.7.2) can be exported to Mentum CellPlanner (version 6.2.2), where
the data can be used for propagation model tuning or presented in map and status windows.

7.8 Scanning: GSM

7.8.1 Strongest Channels Scan

GSM frequency scans are presented in a bar chart, the basic layout being similar to that of the line chart window.
The bar chart itself is generic and can be configured to show any data, but a predefined GSM scanning chart is
supplied where the appropriate information elements are already in place.

of signal strength variation for that channel. The two panes at the bottom provide room for a legend (left)
and for user-selected additional data (right), just as in the line chart.

7.8.2 Adjacent Channels Scan

The image that follows shows an adjacent channel scan where channels are scanned in groups of five, each
group consisting of one C0 frequency surrounded by two adjacent channels on each side.

 7.9 Role of Cell Data in Presentations
Cell data enables the following functions in TEMS™ Investigation:

• Drawing of site locations, sector orientations and neighbor relations in the Map window

• Serving cell/active set indication (WCDMA: “Best cell” in active set in Cell_DCH mode)

• Best server indication on the map

• In logfile reports: association of statistics with individual cells; computation of cell ranking based on these
statistics

• Sorting of scrambling codes by the neighbor list in the CPICH Scanner bar chart 2

• Generation of “missing neighbor” event in WCDMA and GSM 2

• Presentation of cell names in status windows and line charts

• Presentation of distance to cell in status windows (LTE, TD-SCDMA)

2 Requires scanner; on the other hand, if the scanner decodes System Information, no cell file is needed.

www.Infovista.com | 78
 7.10 Monitoring of Events and Signaling
Layer 3 messages sent and received by the phone are listed in a message window. Individual messages can be
inspected in unabridged, plain-text format.

All of the phone’s internal reports, used by TEMS™ Investigation to generate views, graphs, statistical
summaries and events, are presented in the Mode Reports browser. Double-clicking a report will launch
an associated decode window, showing the parameters in plain English.

www.Infovista.com | 79
 8 KPI Reporting
TEMS™ Investigation logfiles can be processed into a KPI report, which presents familiar KPIs for voice and data
services in a Microsoft Excel workbook. The report is continuously updated with new logfiles as they are recorded.
The KPI reporting function gives drive testers real-time access to KPI statistics in the field, enabling them to
assess results instantly, before they are uploaded and processed into official KPI reports.

A fundamental and pervasive feature of the KPI report is that it compares operators in terms of each computed
metric. Below is an example (actual operator names blurred):

Each graph in the KPI report comes with a set of filters that let you narrow the data set for which the KPIs are
displayed. The image below shows some examples of filters.

In the report are also listed all logfiles that contributed to the KPI statistics. You can open a contributing logfile in
TEMS™ Investigation to drill down into the drive test data.

Accompanying the KPI report is a Map report, which plots events related to service execution on a zoomable
world map. Here, too, you can identify contributing logfiles by clicking event markers.

www.Infovista.com | 80
 9 Logfile Reading Capabilities
TEMS™ Investigation is capable of loading logfiles from previous versions of the product as well as a range of
other sources. It is worth underlining that all these files can be loaded and their contents analyzed on-the-fly in
TEMS™ Investigation, without the need for any awkward import or conversion procedure.

The TEMS™ Investigation application can load logfiles from the following TEMS products:

 13 Hardware and Software Requirements

13.1 Hardware and Software Requirements for TEMS™ Investigation Application

TEMS™ Investigation is designed to run on a standard PC and interfaces with the connected devices mainly
through USB or serial ports.

Processor and RAM requirements are strongly dependent on what external devices are connected and what
tasks they perform. The recommended minimum configuration is: Pentium T7200 or AMD TL-58 class CPU with
dedicated graphics card, preferably from ATI or nVidia; 1 GB RAM. Please note that it is not advisable to collect
data with more than one device, or to collect data in an LTE or HSPA network, using this configuration. A
dedicated graphics card is absolutely required for such more demanding tests.

Windows Experience Index (WEI) scores should meet the following requirements:

• Minimum configuration: CPU > 4.5 and Graphics > 3.0. These are the minimum requirements for doing data
collection with TEMS™ Investigation.

• Maximum configuration: CPU > 5.2 and all scores > 4.0. These are the requirements for maintaining:

• (GSM, WCDMA Rel. 99 and CDMA/EV-DO) Up to six concurrent voice calls or up to four concurrent data
service sessions.

• (HSPA, LTE) A maximum of four concurrent data service sessions. Limitations apply according to device
driver performance and the data rates attained in the network. Note also that the NDIS driver
implementation for some devices might limit the number of data service sessions to only one.

LTE data service testing at high throughput rates (above 50 Mbit/s) with a Qualcomm chipset based device
requires a very powerful PC processor, for example a second-generation Intel Core i5 or comparable Intel Core
i7.

For testing with a large array of connected devices (for example, 6–8 devices plus GPS), an Intel Core i7-
nnnQM/XM, Intel Core i7-2nnnQM/XM, or equivalent processor is necessary.

13.1.1 Other Hardware Requirements

• One USB port for each user terminal

• One USB port for each USB scanner

• USB port, Bluetooth port, or serial port for GPS

• Ethernet port for scanners requiring this

• ExpressCard/34 slot or PC Card slot for any data card user terminals

• Sound card and loudspeakers for event audio indications

13.1.2 Software Requirements

• .NET Framework version 4.7.1 (included in TEMS™ Investigation installation package)

• Microsoft Network Monitor (NetMon), used as IP sniffer (installed along with TEMS™ Investigation)

www.Infovista.com | 92
 • Internet Explorer 8 or later required for Report Generator and online help

• Internet Explorer 9 required for HTTP download testing with Internet Explorer and for HTTP streaming using
PC-based client

• Adobe Flash Player required for streaming over HTTP using PC-based client

• Android 4.2 or later required for streaming over HTTP using on-device client (for older Android versions,
YouTube app version 5.3.24 is required)

• Android Chrome Shell required for streaming over HTTP with PEVQ-S using on-device browser

• SQL Server 2012 or 2014 required (Express edition sufficient) for KPI report generation

• Microsoft Excel 2013 required to view KPI reports; Power View plugin also needed for Map report

13.1.3 Supported Operating Systems

• Windows 10

• Windows 8 Pro

• Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (x86, x64)

All the latest Windows updates should always be installed.

Supported languages are English (U.S.), Chinese (simplified characters), and Japanese.

13.2 Hardware and Software Requirements for CallGenerator

One of the setups for audio quality measurement (AQM) involves the use of a CallGenerator: see section 6.4.1.
Requirements on the machine hosting a CallGenerator are as follows:

• 1.6 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM

• 2.7 GB free space on disk

• Free full-length PCI Express or PCI slot for installing the Dialogic card. For PCI, an adjacent PCI slot must
also be free (otherwise there is not enough room for the circuitry on the card).

• Windows Server 2008 (64-bit version)

13.3 Requirements for TEMS UDP Server Software

UDP testing makes use of TEMS software installed on the PC that functions as UDP server. This PC needs to
have one of the following operating systems installed: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 or
Windows 7.
