Pilot Pioneer

Advanced Multi-Technology Drive Test Solution

Pilot Pioneer is a flexible multi-technology laptop-based diagnostic tool for indoor and outdoor radio network quality

and services performance measurements. Various services tests can be conducted with the wide range of

supported commercial and up-to-date test terminals. Based on Windows operating system, Pilot Pioneer is a user-

friendly solution that can be used throughout network development lifecycle, therefore allowing system vendor and

network operator to benefit on their investment. Pilot Pioneer displays geo-location map-based data in real time and simultaneously records it for further analysis.

The collected data reflects subscriber perceptions and experience, enabling network operators to fine tune their

network to maximize subscriber satisfaction.

Main Features

Multi-Technology and Multi-Terminal

Supports multiple network technologies: GSM, CDMA, EVDO, WCDMA, HSPA, TD-SCDMA, and FDD/TDD-LTE Supports multiple chipsets test terminals:HiSilicon, Qualcomm, Innofidei, Leadcore, T3G, etc. Supports both Android and iOS operating systems

VoLTE Service Test

Mobile HD voice is the future trend of mobile voice (from

TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) to IP or traditional

switch to soft switch). Based on the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) network, VoLTE (Voice over LTE) delivers

the required voice service over LTE data bearer. Pilot

Pioneer provides VoLTE service test solution to capture

various control plane and user plane data through active

network measurement, evaluate VoLTE network

performance and QoS (quality of service), and provide

network performance and QoE measurement.VoLTE

audio quality measurement with POLQA (MOS)

algorithm is supported.

PBM

PBM (Pulse-sampling Bandwidth Measurement) is a

new radio network bandwidth measurement solution,

with efficient algorithm that occupies little network

resource usage. It may be an alternative network

performance measurement method to FTP in 4G

network technology.

Presentation of Frame Decoding Details

Decoding details of each frame in PHY, MAC, and PDCP

layers can be displayed for LTE network technology.

Carrier Aggregation (CA) Test

LTE Advanced Carrier aggregation is used to utilize

more than one carrier, which may be in contiguous

elements of the spectrum or in different bands, to

increase the overall transmission bandwidth, provide

high data rates, reduce delay, and improve spectrum

usage efficiency. Pilot Pioneer supports Carrier Aggregation test with

Qualcomm and HiSilicon terminals, and statistics of key

parameters (such as MCS, RB, TM, QCI, etc.) for

component carriers or aggregated carriers.

Comprehensive Filter Function

Pilot Pioneer supports comprehensive filter function that

may help users to quickly obtain required information from

large volume of data and thus improves data analysis

efficiency. Users may filter data by parameter, time, region,

state, and combined conditions as required. The filtered

data can be replayed and used for statistics generation

and analysis.

Force Function

Force functions such as lock on frequency, band, and

cell are supported for are supported with dedicated

Qualcomm chipset based devices that has been verified

by DingLi, which allow users to perform tests on specific

frequencies, bands, or cells.

Various Scanner Tests

Pilot Pioneer supports R&S, Anite (supported but not

offered), and PCTEL scanners. Scanning functions

including Pilot (downlink), CW (uplink & downlink),

Spectrum (uplink & downlink), Blind (PCTEL only), and

EPS (PCTEL only) scan are available. SIB/L3 decoding

is also supported.

Flexible Analysis Functions

Various analysis functions are supported, including

Coverage Rate Analysis, Overlapping Coverage

Analysis, Mod3 Analysis, Pilot Pollution Analysis, Cell

Coverage Analysis, and Cell Statistics and Analysis. All

these analysis functions help users to quickly identify

potential network problems and affected areas, while

improving operational efficiency and cost.
