USER INTERFACE & TERMINOLOGY

[ GETTING STARTED ]



Projects:

A project is a holder used to

organize the processed data

from a geographic region.

TEMS Discovery loads the

data once and saves the

processed data permanently

until removed

[ GETTING STARTED ]



A document defines the

configuration settings of the

specific data sources,

displayed metrics, and view

layouts.

Opening a TEMS Discovery

document will restore almost

all aspects of any saved

information, except for the

zoom level.

[ GETTING STARTED ]



GIS data includes vector data,

raster images, and terrain

elevation data.

Data from the same

geographic region are

grouped into a Geo-area,

which can be referred to by

one or more projects .

[ GETTING STARTED ]



Task Window lists the status

of background tasks that are

created by importing data or

configuring automatic data

processing.

[ GETTING STARTED ]



Message Log contains the

message generated from the

current operation, which can

be Report Generation, Script

Execution, etc.

EXPLORER & CO...

[ GETTING STARTED ]


EXPLORER - DATASET

The Data Set tab displays drive test

data in logical groups: Archived,

Composite, and Data Sets.

Except for the archived dataset, each

group is in a tree view layout that can

be drilled down to the metric level.

[ GETTING STARTED ]


EXPLORER - CELLS

The Cells tab is the logical display of

imported network configurations, sector

groups, and sector filter expressions.

[ GETTING STARTED ]


EXPLORER – GIS/COVERAGE MAP

The GIS window lists all GIS data

associated with the current project.

The GIS data can be displayed in

Map View by dragging and dropping,

or choosing it from its pop-up menu

[ GETTING STARTED ]


LEGEND

The Legend View displays the plot

band information of metrics that are

drawn in the Map View and Time

Chart.

Here, you can show or hide a particular

metric from display by selecting or de-

selecting the corresponding metric title.

[ GETTING STARTED ]


POINT DETAILS

The Point Detail View provides a convenient

way to overview detail information from a

particular time or location.

By moving the cursor into the Map View and

Time Chart, or by changing the row selection in

the spreadsheet of Message View and Table

View, the detail information will be displayed

here.

Use pre-defined configurations or create a new.

[ GETTING STARTED ]


PROJECT PROPERTIES

Under this tab you find general

information regarding the current

project, regarding GIS, UDR (User

Defined Region), and cell configuration

data.

[ GETTING STARTED ]


SYNCHRONIZABLE & SUMMARY DATA VIEWS

[ GETTING STARTED ]


SYNCHRONIZABLE VIEWS

Synchronizable views

simultaneously display data that

was collected at the same

moment.

All of these views can be part of

playing back drive test data.

Synchronizable views are:

Map View, Time-series Chart,

Messages, Table View, Wave

View, and Google Maps.

[ GETTING STARTED ]


SUMMARY DATA VIEWS

Summary data views are the

views that present statistic data

in various formats.

Those are: Metric Correlation,

Histogram, Sector Statistic,

Problem Summary, Batch PDF,

and Report.

AGENDA

Overview

Getting Started


Use Cases


USE CASE 1:

Getting started

Use the Walk-U-Through wizard (steps 1-4):

Import GIS: OpenStreetMap.gmp (provided to you by the instructor)

Create a new project. Name it ”Training_<your name>”

Import logfiles (provided to you by the instructor)

Import site file (provided to you by the instructor)

Open your new project and DnD metric WCDMA Cell Measurements / Categorized

Ec/Io / A1, from MS3 in logfile with suffix _007, into the Map View.


USE CASE 2:

Preparing Analysis

In order to simplify your analysis, some preparations can be done:

Add WCDMA Cell Measurements / Categorized Ec/Io / A1 and some other metrics

to a Favorite group (right-click metric) for smooth scrolling, and filter out only those

DnD metric A1 also into Time Chart and entire logfile (..._007) into Messages View

DnD all sites into the map

Change background color in the Time Chart

Apply Frame Filter ”WCDMA Active Set” in Messages View & filter out only those

KeyInfo containing ”PSC = 8”. Check number of active set cells in detail view.

Save Document as ”Training_<your name>”

Close your project and then open your project again from Project Explorer

Close the project again and open the saved document from Document List, and

compare the result with opening a project


USE CASE 3:

Network Status

Open (if not already) your saved document containing your created project

Open Problem Summary View and DnD your entire dataset into it

Any problems found? Which types/how many? ........................................................

Analyze them – what seems to be the problem? ......................................................


USE CASE 4:

Edit Device Attributes

Continue with step 5 (”Edit Device Attributes”) in the Walk-U-Through wizard

Expand your project and sort the dataset by device

Mark any device and add a new global attribute called Team

Allocate MS1 and MS2 to ”Team 1”, under Editable Attributes tab (Unconditional

editing) and the new Team attribute

Allocate MS3 and logfile (..._006) under MS4 to ”Team 2”

Allocate logfile (..._007) under MS4 to ”Team 3”

Sort your dataset by Team

Close the dialog and sort also your dataset by Team in Explorer. Works OK?


USE CASE 5:

Create Composite Dataset

Continue with step 6 (”Create Composite Dataset”) in the Walk-U-Through wizard.

Let us assume that changes have been done in the network and you want to sort

drive test data according to ”before” (Team 1) and ”after” (Team 2 & 3) this change.

Expand your dataset and sort by Team

Create new static composite dataset and name it ”Before change”

DnD Team 1 to members of the group on right-hand side. Save.

Create new composite dataset and name it ”After change”

Allocate both Team 2 and Team 3 to this group. Save and exit the dialog.

Back in the Explorer and Dataset tab, expand Composite and verify that your

created composite dataset is present. You deal with this composite dataset just as

with any ordinary dataset.


USE CASE 6:

UDR - User Defined Region

With User Defined Regions (areas) created, you can sort your data by region and

perform specific geolocation binning for specific regions.

With the Dropped Call Analysis still visible in the map (from Use Case 3), create a

region covering the samples after the dropped call and name it ”Southern tip”.

Locate it under GIS/Coverage Map tab in Explorer.

Remove the samples in the map by right-clicking and selecting Dataset – Remove

Curves.

Under Dataset tab, apply filtering by your new region and DnD (from file

”...007_MS3”) again A1 from your favorite group into the Map View. Works OK?

Remove the samples again and apply no region filtering before DnD A1 once

more. Works OK?

Remove (close) the region from the map and make it appear again...


USE CASE 7:

Geolocation Binning

Continue with step 7 (”Geolocation Binning”) in the Walk-U-Through wizard.

Denote a suffix to your binned dataset

Specify 100 m bin size by route distance and apply this to your defined region

”Southern Tip” only

When completed, expand the binned dataset and DnD A1 from MS3, logfile

..._007, into Map View. Works OK?

For more convenient display, separate the binned data samples from the others by

applying Data Route Offset

Verify the bin size (100 m) with the measurement tool


USE CASE 8:

Analysis

Continue with step 8 (”Analysis”) in the Walk-U-Through wizard.

Close your current (open) project

In the wizard, select your project, dataset and the mobile/file where you had

problems according to Use Case 3.

Select an appropriate analysis set and press Open Project

What happens? Difference from Use Case 3?

Use Spider Move in the Map View and Point Details to find a possible solution to

the Dropped Call problem


USE CASE 9:

Report

Continue with step 9 (”Report”) in the Walk-U-Through wizard.

Keep the same Mobile as from Use Case 8 and press Generate Report

Select template WCDMA CS Call Sample Report under group Common

Apply no filtering

Generate report

Study the report


USE CASE 10:

Create New Analysis Set

Open Google Earth and DnD metric WCDMA Rx Tx Power/Rx Power.

Save as Analysis Set with an appropriate name

Close the project

Back in the analysis step in the wizard, select the same project, dataset and

mobile/file as in Use Case 8.

Select your new analysis set and press Open Project

What happens? Difference from Use Case 8?
