Introduction

1 Introduction Pilot Pioneer is a leading indoor and outdoor multi-technology laptop-based diagnostic tool, for

radio network quality and services performance measurements. Based on the Windows operating

system, Pilot Pioneer is a user-friendly solution that can be used throughout network development

lifecycle, therefore allowing system vendors and network operators to benefit from their

investment.

New test terminals, including Huawei Mate7, HTC M8, and SAMSUNG S5 G9009W are

supported in this version. New analysis functions, including No Serving Cell Analysis, Pilot

Pollution Analysis, Cell Statistics and Analysis, and Neighbor Cell Analysis are added in this

version. In addition, the function of download data from Pilot Fleet Unify, VoLTE and MOS test

solutions are improved in this version.

New Features and Devices

2 New Features and Devices 2.1 Pilot Pollution Analysis Based on UE or Scanner test data, Pilot Pollution Analysis is used to analyze the signal strength of

serving and neighbor cells for 3/4G network technologies. The function analyzes strong cells or

servers that are serving within a given threshold defined by the user for the purpose of identifying

potential polluters. There are three statistics mode, including UE, Scanner, and UE+Scanner. The

statistics results can be displayed by table and map, and can be exported to Excel format. See the

figure below:

Figure 2.1 Pilot Pollution Analysis

2.2 Cell Statistics and Analysis Based on test data files and site files, Cell Statistics and Analysis is used to perform parameter,

KPI, and event statistics, as well as analysis for the serving cells. 2/3/4 G network technologies are

supported. See the figure below:

2.3 Cell Coverage Analysis Based on UE or Scanner test data, Cell Coverage Analysis is used to analyze the signal strength of

serving and neighbor cells. The cell coverage is verify through the statistics and analysis of KPIs

such as BSIC, PN, PSC, CPI, and PCI. There are three statistics mode, including Parameter, TopN,

and Serving Neighbor, which can be combined with Filter and Bin functions. The statistics results

can be displayed by table and map, and can be exported to *.txt or *.csv format. See the figure

below:

New Features and Devices

2.4 Improved MOS Test Function 1. The MOS 4.0 64-bit operating driver is upgraded, and therefore supporting MOS test with 64

bit operating system .

2. Pilot Pioneer version 9.5 supports bidirectional and unidirectional replay of single or multiple

reference files.

3. During MOS test configuration, users may select Unidirection or Bidirection under Play

Mode to replay the reference file in the unidirectional or bidirectional mode. In addition,

users may select Multiple Reference Files for MOS test, which will be replayed based on

the order of the files. The Multiple Reference Files function is supported by MOS Box 3.0

and MOS Box 4.0.

Figure 2.4 MOS test configuration

4. Control reference file play (including pause and start) manually.

During MOS test, users may manually start or pause reference file play and pause or start

MOS score at the same time.

2.5 Neighbor Cell Management on the Map

Window Users may manage neighbor cells for LTE network technology in the Map window. Users may

check, add, delete, or export neighbor cell relationship, and export neighbor cell modification

records. See the figure below:

New Features and Devices

Figure 2.6 Neighbor cell management

In the Map window, the icon previously used for site/cell settings is now designed for neighbor

cell management (shown in the red circle), and a new icon is created for site/cell settings (shown

in the green circle).

2.6 Presentation of Frame Decoding Details in

the PHY/MAC/PDCP Layers Decoding details of each frame in PHY, MAC, and PDCP layers can be displayed for LTE network

technology.
