1. General
1.1. Whats In This Manual
This book catalogs all data presented in TEMS Investigation as well as all
preconfigured presentation windows supplied in the application.
Some information elements are presentable only with a subset of the
connectable devices. See the tables in chapter4.
1.2. Conventions
For the sake of brevity the following conventions are used in this book:
The TEMS Investigation Users Manual is referred to as UM.
The TEMS Investigation Technical Reference is referred to as TR.

3. Information Elements
The tables below list all information elements that can be presented by TEMS
Investigation. For ease of reference, each category on the Info Elementtab
of the Navigator is still covered in one single, alphabetically ordered list.
(Certain deviations from strict alphabetical order occur in the application in
order to achieve more logical orderings and groupings.) However, since the
number and diversity of the information elements are great, a special columnwith codes is used in some tables to distinguish important subgroups among
the elements.

3.1. GSM Information Elements
3.1.1. General
3.1.1.1. Properties of Information Elements: The Asterisk
Column
In the column marked *, a set of codes is used to state conditions under
which an information element is
valid:a non-trivial condition must be fulfilled for the element to be valid
not valid:the element is normally valid, but in certain circumstances it is
not (code ends in ) extendedcompared to the simplest GSM case: the element sometimes
carries more information, for example when frequency hopping is used
(code ends in +)
If nothing is written in the asterisk column, the element is always valid
(provided it is supported by the device).
Code Meaning
c Valid if a cell file is loaded.
g Valid when running GPRS. Not valid for voice.
g+ The element is richer for (E)GPRS, in one of the following ways:
more values, i.e. more arguments e.g. C/I Best
values have a more complex meaning e.g. C/I Hopping
List(average over timeslots)
larger range of possible values e.g. Channel Type.
g Not valid when running (E)GPRS.
ga Valid in GAN mode or for GAN-capable phones.
h Valid if frequency hopping is used.

h+ The element is richer if frequency hopping is used.
If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in
the hopping list.
No GPRS connection: One value for each channel
(arguments 0 through 63)
GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on each channel
(arguments 0 through 64 8 1 = 511). Exception: C/I
Hopping Listhas only one value for each channel
(arguments 0 through 63).
If frequency hopping is not used, the element contains valuesfor the single channel employed.
No GPRS connection: One single value (argument 0).
GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on the channel
(arguments 0 through 7).
Example: C/I Best.
hc+ If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in
the hopping list. One value for each channel (arguments 0
through 63).
No separate values for each timeslot for a GPRS connection.
Example: C/I Hopping List.
h Not valid if frequency hopping is used.
hs Valid when running HSCSD. Not valid for voice.
hs+ The element is richer for HSCSD, in one of the following ways:
more values, i.e. more arguments e.g. C/I Best
values have a more complex meaning e.g. C/I Hopping
List(average over timeslots)
larger range of possible values e.g. Channel Type.
hs Not valid when running HSCSD.
p Reported by positioning equipment.
s Reported from GSM RSSI scanning.

3.1.1.2. Full and Sub Values
Information elements with Full in their names are calculated on all blocks.
Information elements with Sub in their names are calculated only on the
blocks known to be sent also when downlink DTX is active (in each
104-multiframe, one TCH block with SID information and one SACCH block).
3.1.1.3. GSM RxLev Units
GSM RxLev units are defined in 3GPP 45.008, section 8.1.4.
3.1.2. Information Element Table

GSM phone.) This function is no longer supportedin anyconnectable phone, but the information elements are retained in

still be replayed in the application.

Signal Strength
On BCCHCarrier
120 ... 10
dBm
Signal strength on the current
BCCH. Especially useful forobtaining a correct measure of
the cell size when frequency
hopping is used and power
control is applied to the TCHs.
The following steps are used to
find a value for the element:
1. Neighbor list. If the BCCH
frequency is in the neighbor
list, report its signal strength.
2. Hopping list. If the BCCH is
used as hopping frequency
(in dedicated mode), report
its signal strength.
3. Idle mode. If the phone is in
idle mode, report RxLev
(dBm).
If frequency hopping is not
used, step 2 becomes If BCCH
= TCH ....
Invalid if no value is found in
any of the above steps.
