Introduction

Welcome to TEMS Pocket. TEMS Pocket is an advanced cellular network diagnostics tool built into a mobile phone. TEMS Pocket is suitable for day-to-day verification, maintenance and troubleshooting of cellular networks but is also handy for many cell planning tasks. This document describes TEMS Pocket 7.3 (product packages Professional and Premium) as implemented in the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a phones which support both GSM and WCDMA. A separate manual is provided for the GSM-only Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE phone.

1.1.

Whats New in TEMS Pocket 7.3

TEMS Pocket 7.3 is based on the same Sony Ericsson handsets as TEMS Pocket 7.2 (W995/W995a/W995 EDGE) and is available as an upgrade for TEMS Pocket 7.2 users.

1.1.1.

Presentation of Cell Names

In TEMS Pocket 7.3 it is possible to present cells by name in the realtime data views. The cell names are retrieved from an XML-format cell file that the user imports into the TEMS Pocket application; the cell presentation can then be toggled between cell name and CGI. Two new data views listing cells by name (one for GSM and one for WCDMA) are also introduced in order to further amplify the overview of the network structure.

1.1.2.

Event-based Logfile Sifting

This feature allows the user to set up criteria for what logfiles will be saved during passive monitoring of user sessions, or when a command sequence is running. For example, the user can choose to save only logfiles containing a failure event. Storing logfiles more selectively like this allows users to focus their analysis precisely on the data that is most relevant in the context.

1.1.3.

Improved Logfile Naming

The naming of logfiles recorded by TEMS Pocket has been made more structured and elaborate, simplifying and speeding up analysis of the files. The logfile name now indicates: Occurrence of failure event (if any) Type of measurement Manually added tag (if any) Date and time

1.1.4.

Coexistence with MRU (Mobile Receiving Unit)

TEMS Pocket 7.3 can reside on a TEMS Investigation phone which also has MRU (Mobile Receiving Unit) software installed. This has previously not been possible. The MRU acts as a receiver when performing voice quality (PESQ) measurements with TEMS Investigation or TEMS Automatic. With TEMS Pocket installed on the same device, it is possible to use TEMS Pocket features such as lock on cell and passive voice measurement while the device is functioning as an MRU.

1.2.1.2.1.

What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.2New UMTS Phones: Sony Ericsson W995/W995a

TEMS Pocket 7.2 is implemented on the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a phones. They are the first Sony Ericsson phones that officially support HSUPA (EUL). Some further key features of these devices are: GSM/GPRS quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) WCDMA/HSPA 7.2 Mbit/s DL, 2 Mbit/s UL W995: 900/2100 MHz W995a: 850/1900/2100 MHz

1.2.2.

New GSM Phone: Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE

TEMS Pocket 7.2 is also available on the GSM-only version of the W995 phone, which is called Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE. Key features are: GSM/GPRS quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) EDGE Class 10

1.2.3.

Scanning (GSM and WCDMA)

TEMS Pocket 7.2 introduced the capability of scanning GSM and WCDMA networks. Supported bands are as follows: Sony Ericsson W995: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA 900/2100 Sony Ericsson W995a: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA 850/1900/ 2100 Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE: GSM 850/900/1800/1900

For GSM, RSSI scanning is done either across an entire band or of a userselected set of up to 200 ARFCNs. The ARFCNs can be picked from arbitrary bands. BSIC decoding helps identify the signal source. For WCDMA, two scanning modes are provided: network scan and CPICH scan. In network scan mode, TEMS Pocket will scan a user-selected band for UARFCNs where a CPICH can be decoded. The main purpose of this scan mode is to detect network presence; UARFCNs found by the network scan can be added to the CPICH scan list. In CPICH scan mode, the current top ten CPICHs are presented from each scanned UARFCN. Up to 12 UARFCNs can be scanned.

The scan presentation has been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive view of all scanned channels, ensuring that no significant signals are overlooked, while also allowing close-up inspection of individual channels.

1.2.4.

Command Sequence Enhancements

The command sequence function was greatly expanded and enhanced in this release. New features were:

LZT 138 0240 R2A

Actions for HTTP, streaming, and idle mode. Regarding streaming, see section 1.2.5 below. Multiple actions (up to 10) can be strung together in one command sequence. Multiple command sequences (up to 10) can be defined. Default settings for each action type can be saved; new actions are initialized with these defaults. Actions contain an option for applying control functions while the action is executed, for instance locking on a band and/or cell. Logfile recording can be set on or off for each command sequence. For voice and video calls, a redial option can be activated which causes any dropped or blocked calls to be redialed automatically. Logfile upload can be done after each loop through a command sequence. A new data view is provided which presents the current status of a command sequence that is being executed. The information given includes the expected remaining duration of current action and the next action to follow. All command sequence settings can be exported to file and imported.

1.2.5.

Streaming

TEMS Pocket 7.2 can test video streaming over the RTSP protocol by means of the phones integrated media player. Data can be streamed from a userdefined URL through an access point that is likewise user-configurable. The media presentation can be customized in various respects (hide/show video; audio on/off). A new command sequence action is provided for streaming; it lets the user put a cap on the duration of the streaming session. Streaming performance data is displayed in the TEMS Pocket data views just as for previously supported services such as FTP.

1.2.6.

Passive Measurement

Automatic recording of logfiles was renamed passive measurement. This kind of measurement is configured separately for each service type (voice, FTP, and so on). For HTTP and streaming, a privacy option is provided which suppresses recording of what URLs are visited.

1.2.7.

New GPS

The GPS that could optionally be ordered with TEMS Pocket 7.2 is the GlobalSat BT-359.

1.2.8.

Data Upload over WiFi

Data upload can alternatively be done over WiFi whenever a WiFi access point is available. The TEMS Pocket phone is capable of searching for available WiFi networks, and the user can select any WiFi bearer thus detected for uploading TEMS Pocket data to an FTP server.

1.2.9.

HSPA Data View

The HSDPA Data view has been expanded with HSUPA-specific information and renamed HSPA Data. Among this information may be noted average ETFCI, average Serving Grant Index, average transport block size, and UE happy rate.

1.2.10.

WCDMA AMR Data View

A new data view (WCDMA AMR) has been created for showing AMR speech codec usage in WCDMA. Both AMR-NB (narrowband) and AMR-WB (wideband) appear in the view, which is broadly similar to the GSM AMR data view already present.

What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.0

(TEMS Pocket 7.1 is a Nokia-based release.)

1.3.1.

Phones: Sony Ericsson C905, C905a

TEMS Pocket 7.0 is implemented on the Sony Ericsson C905 and C905a phones. Their features include: GSM/GPRS quad-band HSDPA/WCDMA 2100 MHz (C905); 850/1900/2100 MHz (C905a) HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s on downlink

1.3.2.

Map View and Pinpointing

The map view was the principal new feature in TEMS Pocket 7.0. It allows users to pinpoint their route through a building on a floor plan. The setup is fast and easy: Obtain an image of the floor plan. For example, use the camera in the TEMS Pocket phone to take a photo of the emergency/evacuation plan displayed in the building. Load the picture as a background image in the Map view. Start pinpointing your position in the building. A logfile will be opened automatically. Pinpoint at regular intervals along the route and whenever you change direction. When you are done with the measurement, give a Stop pinpointing command. The logfile will close.

This is the full list of steps required to use the TEMS Pocket Map view. No messy or time-consuming preparations have been left out: none are needed. Before post-processing the data, it just needs to be anchored to a geographical position. This is accomplished in a tick with a software utility accompanying TEMS Pocket. The logfiles are then ready to be loaded into TEMS Presentation or TEMS Investigation. The map functionality is available as an option in the Professional package.

1.3.3.

Data Views with Graphs

TEMS Pocket 7.0 comes equipped with a set of graph views showing how radio parameters vary over time. These line charts were an entirely new feature in TEMS Pocket 7.0, but they are similar to the ones found in TEMS Investigation and TEMS Presentation. All graphs come predefined and ready to use without any need for configuration.

1.3.4.

Smarter Logfile Upload

The data upload process was improved: If the FTP connection goes down, the upload of a logfile can optionally be resumed from where it was

Cell Identity data is presented in both idle and dedicated/connected mode for both GSM and WCDMA. This is achieved by buffering Cell Identities in idle mode and then correlating the buffered data with the phones position in dedicated/connected mode. The buffer is cleared when the phone is restarted.

1.3.6.

Snapshots of Data Views

A display snapshot function was added which enables you to capture TEMS Pocket data views in the form of bitmap images. The snapshot function is perfect for instantly capturing your own users view of the network. It can also be used to produce receipts handed in by staff to confirm completion of field measurement tasks. This too contributes to efficiency and reduces traveling expenses.

1.3.7.

Importing and Exporting TEMS Pocket Settings

More aspects of user configuration in TEMS Pocket can be saved to file: command sequence setups, user-configured map views, and more. Each setup is saved in a separate file which can be imported into the application on a later occasion. This functionality permits convenient distribution of test setups to multiple TEMS Pocket units.

Overview of TEMS Pocket

2.1.

Phone Mode vs. Scan Mode

TEMS Pocket has two main working modes. Phone mode: The TEMS Pocket device acts as a regular phone, and measurement data is collected relating to GSM and WCDMA networks and to voice and data services in which the phone engages. Scan mode: The TEMS Pocket device acts as a scanner capable of detecting GSM and WCDMA signals and decoding BSICs/CPICH scrambling codes.

You select working mode in the Activity menu under Operational mode. See section 7.1. The scanning functionality is dealt with in chapter 19. Everything else in this manual applies to phone mode, or is common to both modes. Chapter 19 explains what functions the two modes share, giving references to other parts of the manual where appropriate.

2.2.

Data Views

Most of the data displayed by TEMS Pocket is to be found in data views. When you turn the phone on for the first time, it will display the W/G Cells data view:

8

Chapter 2. Overview of TEMS Pocket

On later occasions, when turned on, the phone will display the data view last inspected, provided that the TEMS Pocket operational mode is set to Active (see section 7.1). The data views are divided into categories from 1 to 5. Each data view is numbered according to the format x.y, where x is the category and y the position of the data view within that category. You browse the categories by moving the navigation key left and right, and the data views within a category by moving the navigation key up and down. TEMS Pocket remembers the view last displayed in each category; when you return to a category, that view is shown. The top section of the display preserves the ordinary signal strength and battery power level indicators as well as other symbols belonging to the regular user interface of the phone. Among the latter are: A 3G symbol indicating that the phones current serving cell supports WCDMA R99 (but not HSDPA). An H symbol indicating that the current serving cell supports HSDPA. The top section of the display also shows various icons related to TEMS Pocket operation. They include: an icon indicating that a logfile is being recorded (see section 7.3) an icon indicating that a logfile is being replayed, and the status of the replay (see section 7.4.2) an icon indicating that a cell control function is currently applied (see section 9) an icon for the latest TEMS Pocket event that occurred (if it occurred within the last 15 minutes; see section 10.4).

If the default phone display with the operator name appears instead of a TEMS Pocket data view, this is because TEMS Pocket has been put in background or inactive mode (see section 7.1). By default TEMS Pocket is in active mode, and all of its data views are visible. The data views are exhaustively described in chapter 3.

2.2.1.

Data Views with Graphs

Data views with graphs combine text-format content (similar to that of ordinary data views) with a line chart showing how one or several parameters

LZT 138 0240 R2A

9


vary over time. Like the text-only data views, the graph views are predefined. They are collected in category 5. The top section of the display has precisely the same layout and behavior as in text-only data views. See section 2.2.

2.3.

Map View

The Map view (no. 1.7) is used for pinpointing a test route on a floor plan or other map image. See section 2.6.3.

2.4.

MenusWhen you press the Activity key on the phone, a tab with TEMS Pocket commands appears on top in the Activity menu:

10


Most of the commands in this menu are found only here. The menu is gone through in chapter 7. From the Activity menu you can also access the Pocket menu, which is the chief means of configuring TEMS Pocket: see chapter 8. The Pocket menu can alternatively be accessed from the phones main menu: Settings General Pocket menu. Note: TEMS Pocket settings are always saved in the phones internal memory. If the phone memory is full, TEMS Pocket settings can no longer be saved. You then need to remove some files to free up memory.

2.5.

Events

Events are generated and logged by TEMS Pocket to indicate that something interesting and worthy of note has occurred in the phones interaction with the cellular network. The event log is inspected and managed from the Pocket menu. See section 10.1. A shortcut to the event log is found in the Activity menu.

2.6.2.6.1.

LogfilesLogfile Recording

You can record data collected by TEMS Pocket in logfiles and replay these files in TEMS Pocket itself or in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Presentation. See sections 7.37.4 and chapter 14.

LZT 138 0240 R2A

11


2.6.2.

GPS Positioning

TEMS Pocket supports positioning of data using GPS. You can use either the phones internal GPS or an external GPS unit that has been Bluetooth paired with the phone. See chapter 12.

2.6.3.

Positioning by Pinpointing

In an indoor environment or other location without GPS coverage, you can use the Map view (see section 2.3) to pinpoint your test route. You load an image of your testing area into the Map view, then indicate your route by marking waypoints on that map. The map image can also be assigned a geographical position. For the full details on these procedures, see chapter 6.

2.7.

Cell Control Functions

TEMS Pocket has a number of cell control functions for controlling the phones behavior in the cellular network. These include locking the phone to a RAT, band, cell, or channel. See chapter 9 for full details.

2.8.

Command Sequences

TEMS Pocket offers the use of command sequences for automated testing of various services. See chapter 15.

2.9.

Scan Mode

See section 2.1 above and chapter 19.

2.10.

Storage Medium: Phone Memory vs. Memory Stick

In general it is recommendable to use a memory stick rather than the phones internal memory as storage medium (for logfiles, FTP downloads, etc.). This is because the internal memory of the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a is fairly small. The memory stick is the default choice in all dialogs where a storage medium needs to be selected.

12


2.11.

Language Support

TEMS Pocket Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a phones support languages as follows: Regular phone user interface: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin, simplified characters), Danish, English, French, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish Pocket user interface Text display: English User input: English

2.12.

Turning TEMS Pocket Off

You turn TEMS Pocket on and off by entering the Activity menu and changing the operational mode: see section 7.1.

Data Views: General

3.1.

General Data View Properties

The data views in category 1 (numbered 1.x) are capable of showing both WCDMA and GSM data. Both will appear simultaneously if the phone is making inter-RAT neighbor measurements. The data views in category 2 chiefly contain WCDMA-specific data, and those in category 3 and 4 chiefly contain GSM- and GPRS/EGPRS-specific data. The data views in category 5 all include a graph. WCDMA-only, GSM-only, and combined views are found in this category. All data views have the same general structure in idle mode and dedicated/ active mode. Whenever a parameter is currently not valid, this is indicated in the data view by a dash or a string of dashes. Certain parameters are presented both numerically and graphically, the number appearing on top of a colored bar whose length and color depend on the parameter value. These parameters are tagged numeric/graphic in chapters 4 and 5. The rules for the graphic presentation are found in appendix B, page 184. In the case of frequency hopping, the hopping list is shown one channel at a time, a new channel appearing every second.

3.2.

The Built-in Help Function

If you press Options and select Toggle help, a callout box appears describing the piece of data in the top left corner of the screen. Use the navigation key to navigate the contents of the data view.

The Capture Function

You can take screenshots of any data view. To do this, you must first turn the screen capture function on (while in a data view) by selecting Options Toggle capture. Whenever the phone is in standby mode or during a voice call, you can now take a screenshot by pressing the Capture button. Please note that screenshots are always stored on the memory card (under Other\Pocket\ Capture), so the phone must have one inserted. A shutter sound is played when the screenshot is taken. Image files are named DV-_.bmp, where - represent the data view number and is a counter starting at 1. Up to 1000 screenshots of each data view can be stored.

3.4.

Other Data View Actions

In some data views you can perform an action relating to a piece of data shown in the view. For example, in data views listing cells, you can lock on one of the cells. All data view actions are performed by pressing the Options button and choosing Data view actions. A submenu appears listing the available actions.
