2.2 Important

♦ Installing and running Nemo Outdoor requires administrator rights.

♦ Do not upgrade, root, or reflash your measurement terminal firmware. Doing so willcause the terminal to permanently lose its measurement capability!

The Nemo Outdoor user must be appropriately trained and should be familiar with the signalingbehind wireless technologies.

The Qualcomm handlers enables the use of Qualcomm CDMA2000, MSM6500, MSM6800, TM6200,TM6250, TM6275, TM6275US, TM7200, and TM8200 chipset-based terminals that have not beenverified by Anite. These terminals can be used with Nemo Outdoor but Anite does not guaranteethat the terminals will work flawlessly. Please check the Nemo Outdoor product description for a listof measurement terminals verified and approved by Anite.

Do not use the Nemo Outdoor test mobile’s keypad to make or answer calls when the NemoOutdoor system is running.

With Samsung terminals the key tone volume should be turned off. Otherwise, the mobile can dial awrong number.

With Nokia GSM, GPRS, and EDGE terminals the test display (Net Monitor) must not be activated.

3 NEMO OUTDOOR SYSTEM OVERVIEW

3.1 Voice testing

The voice testing environment consists of Nemo Outdoor compatible mobiles and a PC (userprovided or, optionally, provided by Anite with all the software installed). The package also includesthe necessary connecting cables, serial or USB port adapters, a GPS receiver, and fast frequencyscanners if applicable. Also the Nemo Voice Quality option is available.

3.2 Circuit-switched data testing

The circuit-switched (CS) data testing environment consists of three parts: a measurement unit(Nemo Outdoor), an application server, and a data server. The data server is used to establish adata connection between the measurement unit and the application server. Nemo Data Test Servercan be used as the application server. It is a Linux-based administration-free server having up tofour public IP addresses and it can serve multiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections from testterminals. Nemo Data Test Server supports FTP, SFTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IPerf for UDP/TCP, Ping,Trace route testing and RTSP (video streaming). CS data testing is possible on all cellulartechnologies that support circuit-switched data.

The data measurement system has two modes: Send and Receive. In the Send mode, the

measurement unit sends data packets to the application server; in the Receive mode vice versa. Ifyou are using a FTP server, the measurement unit uploads (Send mode) or downloads (Receivemode) test files to or from the FTP server. If you are using an HTTP server, the measurement unitcan only receive files.

The user can define the number of timeslots and the coding schemes, which in turn define thedesired transfer rate. During the measurement, the user will be able to monitor data throughputsand error rates on different network layers, as well as certain parameters, such as coding schemeand number of timeslots.

3.3 Packet-switched data testing

The packet-switched (PS) data testing environments consist of two ends: the measurement unitand an application server. Nemo Data Test Server can be used as the application server. It is aLinux-based administration-free server having up to four public IP addresses and it can servemultiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections from test terminals. Nemo Data Test Server supportsFTP, SFTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IPerf for UDP/TCP, Ping, Trace route testing, and RTSP (videostreaming). PS data testing is possible on all cellular technologies that support packet-switcheddata.

The data measurement system has two modes: Send and Receive. In the Send mode, themeasurement unit sends data packets to the application server; in the Receive mode vice versa. Ifyou are using an FTP server, the measurement unit uploads (Send mode) or downloads (Receivemode) test files to or from the FTP server. If you are using an HTTP server, the measurement unitcan only receive files.




During the measurement, the user will be able to monitor data throughputs and error rates ondifferent network layers, as well as certain parameters such as coding scheme and number oftimeslots.

3.4 Nemo Media RouterNemo Media Router (NMR) is Anite’s proprietary communications interface and applicationdeveloped for Android-based smartphones. With the NMR interface, smartphones communicate withPC-based applications, such as, Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Invex, enabling voice quality(PESQ/POLQA) measurements and data transfers on smartphones without any additional hardware.

The Nemo Invex Systems view displays detailed information about the UICs and the devices. Youcan disconnect UICs and refresh the view. For HIM modules, the device information is shown.

4.5.2 Two data connections on one measurement server

You can have two active data connections on a single measurement server. For example, MMS canbe tested with one test device while another device is performing an FTP transfer. The data routing

option is enabled by default with Nemo Invex allowing more than one active data connection.However, when routing table modifications is enabled, there are some limitations with data testing.For example, it is required that different source IP addresses for data testing are used. This meansthat the host IP address or URL must be different for each test device .




Routing table modification should be disabled when only one active data connection is required.Select View | User Interface Properties and set Enable routing table modifications fordevices to No .

If routing table modification is disabled when performing multi (dual) data testing with onemeasurement server, problems may be caused when several data connections are opened from one

host computer to the terminals. All data connections to be established travel along one connectionbetween the host computer and the terminal, i.e. all data connections are routed via one terminal,not via different terminals and their interfaces. This will distort the test results.

4.6 General guidelines for drive testing

Check the condition of all antennas, cables, and connectors: there should be no tight curves, noslashes or cuts.

Check that connectors are properly connected. Loose connections cause unstable measurements orwrong attenuation of field strength.

Place antennas properly on the roof of the vehicle. Antennas should be installed as symmetrically aspossible and at least one wavelength from the corners and roof windows, and two wavelengths fromeach other. If antennas are too close to each other, it may cause interference.




♦ Check the condition of all RF cables, and connectors: no tight curves, no slashes or cuts.

♦ Check that RF connectors are properly connected. Loose connections cause unstablemeasurements or wrong attenuation of signals. Use the SMA torque wrench to tightenthe connectors

♦ Minimum distance between antennas, at least one wavelength from the corners and roofwindows, and two wavelengths from each other

♦ Individual antennas may have different performance. Therefore use only one antennatype with all test devices

♦ When removing antennas after a drive test, DO NOT pull antennas from the antennacables. Hold the antenna from the base and tilt the antenna away from the cable.

♦ Any unused RF connectors in the RF-splitters must be terminated.

♦ RF-splitters shall be used only for test UEs. If RF-splitters are used also with scanners,separate RF-splitters must be used.

♦ Main and MIMO RF cables of the same UE shall not be connected to the same RF-splitteras it would disable the MIMO/diversity.




♦ Please note that the automatic detection is only available for devices connected with aUSB cable. Furthermore, you may need to select the correct device model from the drop-down menu.

♦ Note that this functionality varies depending on the device vendor. In addition, you may

6.4.1 Voice Call Configuration

Voice call settings are needed to establish the voice calls and to make voice quality measurements.Click the Voice Call button in the Measurement Properties , Measurement dialog and the VoiceCall Configuration dialog will be opened.

P h o n e n u m b e r defines the number to be called. It must be a valid phone number. The numbermust be such that the line stays open for a user-defined time and some speech or sound istransferred on the line. The Number field can contain up to 17 characters.

Ca l l d u r a t i o n determines the time that the call lasts in seconds.

Fixed : The duration timer is started from the channel assignment. The range of duration values isfrom 1 to 1,000,000 seconds. Note that the maximum value of this parameter is the same as thevalue you have set as the Delay Between Call Attempts parameter.

Random : In addition to a fixed call duration, you can specify a random call duration by specifyingthe minimum and maximum values in seconds. The call duration will be randomly selected between

the specified values during measurements.

Ca l l a t t e m p t t i m e o u t value determines the maximum duration of the call attempt. If the callattempt timeout value is exceeded before the cellular system has assigned a traffic channel, the callattempt will be stopped and the attempt will be marked as a failure. The range of the Call AttemptTimeout values is from 5 to 60 seconds. The value is recommended to be at least 10 seconds.

When R e q u e s t v o i c e c a l l c a ll b a c k is selected, the application sends callback command to NemoServer using DTMF tones. DTMF tones are sent separately from audio so naturally DTMF tones donot affect to MOS score. If Nemo server is connected to analog telephone lines (PSTN) user mustdefine the correct callback number on the server side using Nemo Server manager application. IfISDN lines are used with Nemo Server and test terminals are selected to be sent also caller id toNemo server, callback number is recognized automatically. Note that this functionality requiresNemo Server version 2.5.0 or later.




When W a i t f o r c a l l c o n n e c t i o n option is selected, a call script will move on to the next commandafter receiving the CAA event after a voice call has been made.

R e f e r e n c e s a m p l e f il e n a m e defines the reference sample to which the received audio sample iscompared. If you want to use your own test samples, make sure that the samples are of 8KHzsampling rate, 16-bit linear coded .wav files that are no longer than six seconds in length. With theTerratec sound card, sampling rate can be 8kHz or 16 kHz (for WB-AMR testing) and sample lengtha maximum of 30 seconds. For ECHO measurements, use one of the following samples: 10s.wav,4s_m.wav, 8s.wav, ru_6s.wav, and ru_6s_wb.wav.

Select the S a v e s a m p l e f i l e s option to save the received voice quality sample files.

P r e f i x f o r r e c e i v e d s a m p l e f i le s refers to the prefix that is added to the file names of receivedaudio sample files. If you leave this field empty, the received audio files are not stored. When aprefix is defined, Nemo Outdoor names the files as follows: prefix_mos_date_time.wav where prefixis the user-defined prefix, mos the voice quality score on a MOS scale with one decimal precisionbut without decimal point, date in DDMMYYYY format, and time in HHMMSS format. For example:terminal1_34_15112004_143045.wav.

S av e o n l y s a m p l e s b e lo w t h r e s h o l d determines the value below which the samples are saved.The threshold values range from 0-5, 0 being the worst and 5 the best value. The default threshold

value is 5, which means that all samples are saved.

♦ Note that the Script Settings table is activated only if you access this dialog through theScript Editor. See chapter Making script files for more information on making scripts.

♦ Note that with voice quality measurements when calling the Nemo audio server, thedelay time between a new call attempt and the previous call disconnect must be at least10 seconds.

6.7 Data transfers

With mobiles supporting CS and PS data, you can make data transfers. In Nemo Outdoor, you haveseveral data protocol options for making data transfers.

The Nemo Outdoor Multi system enables multiple simultaneous data connections. Each data transferneeds to be set up and configured individually.

Multiple concurrent data transfers can be made manually or with scripts . To make multipleconcurrent data transfers manually, go in online mode and activate a packet session. Then selectStart New Data Transfer and the desired protocol.




♦ To view data in Packet decoder grids during playback, you need to enable the packetdecoding function (Measurement Properties - Measurement) prior to performing datameasurements. Select Full or Partial in the Enable IP Capture field. A separate .pcap-filewill be generated for the measurement, and this file needs to accompany themeasurement file under the same folder when viewing and decoding packet captureinformation in Packet Decoder grids in Nemo Outdoor.

6.7.1 Configuring the data connection

♦ Before you can start making data transfers you need to define the actual connection thatis used for the transfer. The setup is different for CS and PS data transfers.

If you are making CS data transfers, see chapter Data Call Properties. If you are making PS datatransfers, see chapter Packet Session Settings.

6.7.1.1 Data Call Properties dialog

Data Call properties are needed to establish the circuit-switched data connection. Open the DataCall Properties dialog by double-clicking the Circuit-Switched Data Call item in the Devices view.

There are separate views for GSM, UMTS, and CDMA. The parameters are the same. The UMTS andCDMA views just have fewer parameters.


N u m b e r defines the number of the server.

U s e r n a m e refers to the server username.

P as sw o r d refers to the server password.

T r a n sp a r e n t m o d e defines whether transparent or non-transparent mode is used in the CS datacall.

Co m p r e s s i o n defines if no compression or v.42bis compression is used.




M o d e m t y p e refers to the modem type that the server is using. The alternatives are Analog (v.34)and ISDN (v.110 and v.120).

T im e s l o t s ( U L / D L ) defines the number of timeslots for each direction.

C o d i n g defines the coding scheme used in the air interface.

En a b l e a u t o m a t i c l i n k a d a p t a t i o n option allows you to disable and enable Automatic LinkAdaptation (ALA). The ALA technology controls power levels and automatically selects the bestchannel coding.

6.7.1.2 Packet session settings

Packet session settings are needed to establish the packet switched data connection. Double-clickthe Packet Session item in the Devices view to access the Packet Session Settings dialog.




All the parameters in this dialog are operator specific. You must select the correct parameters tomake the packet transfer function. Contact the operator of the network that you are measuring.

6.7.1.3 TCP/UDP Protocol Configuration (Iperf)♦ Note that it is required that Nemo Server is used with Iperf testing as the original Iperf

service is slightly modified for optimal performance.

Open the TCP/UDP Protocol Configuration dialogs by double-clicking the TCP (IPerf) and UDP(IPerf) items in the Devices view.




H o s t n a m e is the IP address used in Nemo Server. You can also choose to use IPv6 tunneling overan IPv4 connection.

♦ Note that if you have multiple simultaneous data connections on different terminals, eachconnection must have its own IP address.

♦ Note that if you are doing multiple simultaneous data transfers on a single terminal, thesame IP address can be used.

♦ Note that Firewall should be turned off.

H o s t p o r t refers to the port used by Nemo Server. For TCP and UDP protocols, the default port is5001.

Co n n e c t i o n t i m e o u t defines the time in seconds for how long Nemo Outdoor waits for theconnection to be established. If a connection is not established within the defined time, connectionattempt will fail.

L is t e n p o r t refers to the port used by the client. For TCP and UDP protocols, the default port is6015.

D i r e c t i o n defines whether you are sending or receiving data, or both.

T r a n sf e r t i m e o u t determines the maximum waiting time after data connection. If the transferattempt timeout value is exceeded before data connection, the data connection attempt will bestopped and the attempt will be marked as a failure. The range of Transfer timeout values is from 0to 60 seconds. The value is recommended to be at least 10 seconds.

T CP w i n d o w s i ze defines the size of the receive window during TCP/IP transmission. If it is toosmall, it can decrease the maximum data throughput, and if it is too high it can increase theretransmission round-trip time (RTT). To be able to avoid decrease of data throughput, the window

size should be at least the maximum throughput multiplied by RTT. For example, with HSDPA withcategory 8 the maximum throughput is about 7.3 Mbit/s and RTT is about 100 ms. To avoidreduction of the throughput the TCP window size should be set at least to 7.3 Mbit/s * 0.1 s = 730kbit = 91.25 kB.

T CP b u f f e r s i z e is the amount of data that can be buffered during a connection without avalidation from the receiver. It can be between 1 and 8291 kbytes.

U D P b u f f e r s i ze is the amount of data that can be buffered during a connection without a

validation from the receiver. It can be between 1 and 8291 kbytes.U D P b a n d w i d t h defines how much data is attempted to be transmitted. Since UDP does notguarantee successful data transmission, it is not limited by maximum throughput of the lowerlayers. If higher data transmission rate is used, the packet error rate (PER) increases. For example,if lower layers are capable of transmitting 100kbit/s and UDP bandwidth is configured to 400kbit/s,there should be a 75% packet error rate (only every fourth packet has been able to transmitsuccessfully). Naturally UDP bandwidth should not be configured too small since it limits themaximum throughput that is not normally desired.

U D P d a t a g r a m s i ze defines the size of the UDP packet in bytes. It should be smaller than themaximum packet size of the lower layers to be able to avoid packet fragmentation in the lower

layers. Packet fragmentation has a huge negative impact to the achieved data throughput and itshould be avoided. On the other hand if too small UDP packet size is used the portion of the UDPand IP header increases which decreases the amount of transmitted user data with the result ofsmaller data throughput. Normally good maximum value for UDP datagram is a little bit less thanmaximum Ethernet packet size which is 1,500 bytes. A good default value for the UDP datagramsize is 1,460 bytes.

N u m b e r o f t h r e a d s defines the number of parallel Iperf data transfers.

T r a n s f e r d u r a t i o n defines the length of the data transfer in seconds.

T r a n s f e r d a t a s iz e defines the length of the total data transfer in kilobytes; that is, the transfer

finishes when the defined amount of data has been transferred. The size of the individual datapackages is defined in the Packet Size field.

♦ Note that if you have chosen Transfer data size from the Packet Transfer Propertiesdialog, the Transfer duration option will be disabled. This is because when the Transferdata size option is used, the transmission will end after a certain amount of data hasbeen transferred. It is not limited by time.

Next, click OK to return to the Measurement Properties dialog. Click the PDP Context Properties button.




6.7.2 Configuring the FTP protocol

Nemo Outdoor has an integrated FTP client , which can be used to measure data transfer ratesbetween Nemo Outdoor and the FTP server. The server can be any standard FTP server. Currentdata throughput and transferred data size are reported during transfer. The FTP module supports

firewall-friendly passive mode transfers. Normally when a data transfer is initialized, the serveropens a new connection to the client and then data is transferred through this connection. Somefirewalls may be configured to refuse any incoming connection requests, and in that case the datatransfer would fail. With passive mode, the client always opens those new connections so thefirewall does not block the connection.


♦ If you encounter problems with the data transfer, deactivate the firewall on the computerwhere you are running Nemo Outdoor.

To set up data measurements using FTP:1. Follow the instructions in the Device Configuration Guide to configure the measurement

devices.

2. Define measurement-related settings in the Measurement Properties dialog (seeMeasurement Properties – Measurement)

3. Configure the data connection for CS data (see Data Call Properties) or PS data (see Packetsession settings) .

4. Define FTP transfer-related settings in the FTP Transfer Properties dialog.

5. Create a script (optional) (see Making script files) .

6. After you have completed the setup, you can start the actual data transfer (see Making datatransfers) .

NemoOutdoor splits the 10MB file into five fragments with the size of 2MB each. All five FTP transfersessions are started simultaneously. Each thread creates a new FTP session and transfers afragment of the file. Total application data throughput is recorded including all threads. Resume isnot supported with multi threaded FTP transfers. In case of a data drop, all threads will start fromthe beginning.

R e m o t e f i le defines the name and location of the file that is on the FTP server. If you are receiving

data, this is the source file. If you are sending data, this is the destination file.♦ Note that if you have multiple simultaneous data connections and the direction is set to

send for all of them, you must define a different remote file for each connection.Otherwise the different data connections will try to write in the same file.

♦ Also note that if there are several testing units using the same FTP server, werecommend that you use a unique file name extension (e.g., filename_tester1.txt,filename_tester2.txt, etc.) for each unit to avoid a situation where two testing units aretrying to write in the same file.

L o c a l f i l e defines the name and location of the file that is on your laptop. If you are receiving data,this is the output file. If you are sending data, this is the source file. The default location for thesefiles is defined in the User Interface Properties – Paths dialog.

This feature allows users to launch external applications from Nemo Outdoor as a part of theautomatic measurement sequence. You can define the executable as well as the command-lineparameters. With Nemo Invex, you can run external applications also on the measurement servers

(UICs).The external application can be used to launch any proprietary or third-party applications that arenot built into Nemo Outdoor. This enables, for example, the testing of data protocols that are notcurrently supported by Nemo Outdoor. You can then monitor the data throughputs from the PPPdata throughput parameter.

The external application feature can also be used to test web browsing. An APP event is written tothe log file when a web browser is launched and closed. The user must set the cache size tominimum from the browser settings.

The Start External Application dialog is accessed through the Script Editor , Add menu. SelectStart External Application from the menu.




H o s t n a m e refers to the IP address or URL that is being pinged, for example, www.anite.com. Youcan use Packet Data Tester or any IP server. Just make sure that the IP server used will respond tothe ping.

P a c k e t s i z e is the size of the ping packet that is used to measure ping time. The value determinesthe size of the packet sent to the server. In addition, it determines the size of the reply packet thatthe server uses to reply Nemo Outdoor.

T im e o u t determines the maximum time that Nemo Outdoor waits for a reply packet from the

server. If this time is exceeded, the ping measurement event will be created by using the timeoutparameter(=-1).

D e l a y defines the delay duration in milliseconds. In addition to the duration, also define where thedelay will occur. The options are:

• D e l ay b e t w e e n r e q u e s t s which means the protocol will always wait for a reply beforesending new request. If the delay is less than the ping delay, a new request is sentimmediately after the reply.

• D e l ay f r o m r e p l y t o r e q u e s t which means a new ping is sent after a reply is received.

Select the R e p e a t n t i m e s option if you would like to define the number of times the pingmeasurement is repeated.

Select the R e p e a t u n t i l s t o p p e d option if you would like to continue the ping measurement untilyou stop it manually.

Example 1. RTT time is 100ms and “delay from reply to request” is set to 1 s. New request is sentevery 1.1s (100ms + 1000ms). If “delay between request” is selected, a new request is sent every1000ms.




Example 2. RTT time is 100ms and “delay from reply to request” is set to 50ms. New request issent every 150ms (100ms + 50ms). If “delay between request” is selected, a new request is sentevery 100ms because the protocol always waits for a reply before sending a new request.

To make ping measurements:

1. Open the Ping Settings dialog by double-clicking the ICMP Ping item in the Devices view.

2. Define the required ping parameters and click OK .

3. Click the Start Recording button .

4. In the Devices view, click on the Measurement control button and select Start

Packet Session . Wait until the status field in the Device Status window says ‘PDP Context Activated’ .

5. From the Measurement control menu, select Start ICMP Ping . If you selected the Pinguntil stopped option in the Ping Settings dialog, select Stop ICMP Ping to stop the pingmeasurement. Otherwise, the ping will be repeated the user-defined number of times.

It is possible to view selected parameters on an indoor map by drag and dropping them in it. Clickon a parameter in the Parameters view and drag and drop it on the graph. Parameters can also beopened for all devices at once and seen on different views. First, press down the Ctrl button andselect the devices by clicking on them in the parameter tree. After this, right-click on the parameteryou wish to view from the parameter tree and select Open in Indoor from the drop-down menu.

To view a route on the floorplan you must have a marker file (.mrk) attached to the measurementfile (.nmf). To move the markers on the map, select a marker in the Markers | Index field, clickon Move and select a new destination for the marker.




On the map you can view, for example, a floorplan of the test site. While you are performing themeasurement and walking around in the building, use markers to draw the measurement route onthe floor plan. Markers are added by clicking the Add marker and Add marker on GPS position buttons in the Indoor map toolbar.

Select the Add marker tool and click on the map. The marker will be placed in the selectedlocation. The Add marker on GPS position tool can be used only when measuring in Indoor modewith a georeferenced floorplan and valid GPS coordinates. The marker will be placed in the currentlocation.

You can observe the values of certain network parameters from the route coloring on the map. Youcan define which color refers to which parameter value. This way it is easy to spot the problemareas on a map. Map layers can be saved to .gst file and also as a custom window.




6.16.2 Floorplans and BTS files

You can also use BTS files on indoor maps. DAS and small cell BTS types are also supported.

Open a route on an indoor map. Click the Add BTS File button and browse for a BTS file.

The route planning functionality with indoor measurements works in the same way as with outdoormaps. See chapter Route plans for more information.




6.16.5 iBwave maps

iBwave indoor maps can be viewed in Nemo Outdoor. Please refer to iBwave documentation on howto create iBwave maps that can be imported to Nemo Outdoor. iBwave files may contain UTMcoordinates in addition to WGS84 coordinates. Nemo Outdoor supports both coordinate formats

when loading transmitter files. Please note that both the tab file and the transmitter file must usethe same coordinate system.

To view measurement data on iBwave maps, select Data | Indoor | New . Change the file type toiBwave Design Files . Select an iBwave map file and click Open .

If the map file contains several building, choose one of them and click OK .




The map is opened. With the Go Downstairs and Go Upstairs buttons you can move the viewbetween floors. From the Layers list you can hide and displays the different floors and the BTS filesfor each floor.

Nemo Outdoor will not automatically place the measurement route on the correct floor. Therefore,when making measurements on several floors, it is advised to make a separate log file for eachfloor and, for example, include the floor number in the measurement file name. Alternatively, youcan add a textual note in the log file identifying the floor number in question. This way you will beable to place the measurement route on the correct floor when playing back the log file.

6.16.5.1 BTS files on iBwave maps

You can also view BTS sites on iBwave maps. An iBwave map file contains, by default, BTS sites butyou will also need a separate BTS file (.nbf or .csv) that has the same BTS sites with matching cellIDs than the iBwave file. Without the .nbf/csv file, BTS cell information and antenna directions willnot be displayed.




First open an iBwave map and click the Add BTS File button to open the BTS file.

Select the BTS file and then select the device connected with the map. Click OK .




The BTS file appears in the Layers panel but to make it appear on the map, you will need toassociate it with the iBwave BTS file. To do this, right-click one of the iBwave BTS layers and selectProperties .

On the Linked BTS page, select the file that you opened on the map and click OK .




The BTS sites and cell information are now displayed on the map.

6.16.6 DAS anomaly analysis

With DAS anomaly analysis, user can check and verify in-building small cells and DAS (DistributedAntenna Systems) antennas giving simple pass, fail, or untested results for each cell.

Indoor small cell antennas and transmitters can be displayed on the indoor map with iBwave indoorplans and Nemo BTS files (.nbf). DAS anomaly analysis is enabled from BTS Properties.

En a b l e D A S a n o m a l y a n a l y s i s by selecting a device in the field.

Ce l l t e s t r a d i u s in meters defines how close the marker needs to be to the cell in order to perform

the DAS anomaly analysis.




Ce l l t r a n s p a r e n c y defines how the circle is drawn. 0% is almost solid color and 100% istransparent.

S i g n a l le v e l l im i t s (dBm) defines the pass/fail limit for signal level for each system. If the signallevel is above the defined limit, the test result is passed and if the signal level is below the limit, the

test result is failed.

Ce l l se a r c h m o d e defines on which sites the test is performed.

• Full : Requires that the BTS file contains the system, channel number, and scrambling codeinformation.

• System and channel : Requires that the BTS file contains the system and channel numberinformation. Use this option with iBwave map files or if the BTS (.nbf) file does not includethe correct cell type information.

• System : Requires that the BTS file contains the system information. Use this option withiBwave map files or if the BTS (.nbf) file does not include the correct cell type information.

When the analysis is enabled, a circle is drawn around DAS and small cell cells. The color of thecircle depends on the cell test status:

• Untested = gray

• Failed = red

• Passed = green

Whenever a marker is placed within the test radius of the serving cell location, the current signallevel of the serving cell is checked. If the signal level exceeds the defined limit (signal level limitdefined in the BTS Properties dialog), the cell is considered as passed (green) and if the signal level

is below the configured limit, the cell is considered as failed (red).




The same analysis is also performed during playback mode if the DAS anomaly analysis is enabled.In addition to the map view, a DAS anomaly analysis results table displays the results for each cell.The results view can be displayed/hidden from the indoor map popup menu.

6.16.7 RF ingress analysis

RF ingress analysis calculates distributions related to indoor (small cell and DAS) vs outdoor(macro) cell coverage and gives real-time information of detected RF ingress. The analysis is basedon the cell type information read from the BTS file (.nbf). A cell is considered to be indoor or smallcell if the cell type in the BTS file is SMALL_CELL or DAS , otherwise the cell type is macro cell.

♦ Please note that a BTS file must be set for all devices before RF ingress measurement isstarted. If a BTS file has not been selected, all cells will be considered as macro cells andthe statistics calculated will be incorrect.

The signal strength comparison is done for each system and the comparison is performed forserving, neighbor, detected, listed and monitored cells in each system.

• LTE: RSRP

• UMTS: RSCP

• GSM: RXL Sub/RXL full (neighbor set)

• CDMA: RSCP

You can also plot RF ingress on a map using the colorset Cell type (RF Ingress).

6.17 Measurement profiles

To make the measurement configuration for different devices more convenient, you can createmeasurement profiles. A measurement profile contains all the necessary settings for making datatransfers, voice/video calls, sending messages, etc. The measurement profiles can also be exportedto another Nemo Outdoor system. See chapter Export/import settings for more information onexporting settings.

To create a new measurement profile, go to the Devices view and click the arrow button next to aservice (e.g. voice call or Facebook) and select Edit Measurement Profiles .

In the Measurement Profiles dialog, click the Add button to create a new measurement profilefor the selected service or select one of the existing profiles. Type a name for the newmeasurement profile and click OK .

A configuration dialog for the selected service is opened. Enter the required information and clickOK . The measurement profile is added to the Measurement Profiles dialog. In the future you can

just select the measurement profile from the list and start measuring.

6.18 IP packet capturing

With IP packet capturing, network packets sent between IP addresses are stored in log files and canbe post-processed with a third party application such as Ethereal®. A separate log file is generated

for each test terminal making data transfers.

In order to use IP packet capturing in Nemo Outdoor:




1. First, install Microsoft Network Monitor. Go to Microsoft website to download the freeNetwork Monitor installation package. Select the NM34_x86.exe (for 32-bit Windows) orNM34_x64.exe (for 64-bit Windows) installation file and click on Download .

2. Once the installation file is downloaded, double-click on it. The Microsoft Network Monitor

3.4 dialog appears. Click Yes to continue installation and follow the steps in the installationwizard to finish the installation.

3. Next, install Nemo Outdoor .

4. For 64-bit Windows you need to install an additional setup of Nemo Packet Monitor x647.x.x.exe (Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Packet Monitor must be of the same version) found inthe Nemo Outdoor product package. Double-click the file and follow the steps in theinstallation wizard to finish the installation.

5. Start Nemo Outdoor, add a device, and go to the Measurement Properties ,Measurement page. Select the Enable IP Capture option.

♦ Note that if the Enable IP Capture item is not on the list, the Network Monitor driver isnot installed.

IP packet capture measurement option has several states:

• Disabled : IP packet monitoring is not performed at all

• Enabled : a separate .pcap file is not written but, for example, KPI, IP service access time isrecorded

• Partial logging : only message headers are recorded

• Full logging : all messages are recorded

The IP packet data is stored in a separate file (.pcap) for each measurement terminal for which IPcapturing is enabled.

To view data in Packet decoder grids during playback, you need to enable the packet decodingfunction prior to performing data measurements. Select Full logging in the Enable IP Capture

field. A separate .pcap-file will be generated for the measurement. This file needs to accompany themeasurement file in the same folder when viewing and decoding packet capture information inPacket Decoder grids in Nemo Outdoor.

6.19 Making script files

♦ Note that it is not possible to use scripts with scanners.

The script file is an ASCII file containing the list of numbers that are to be called. The extension forscript files is .nsfx or .nsf (old script format). You can edit the Script file configuration in the ScriptEditor dialog. When editing scripts, it is possible to have several Script Editor dialogs open and to

copy and paste commands from one script to another.

You can access this dialog by selecting Measurement | Script Editor (Ctrl+E).

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4865







The table in the middle will show a list of all functions and parameters that will be executed duringa measurement.

Click the Add button to add commands in the script.

M o d i f y can be used to edit an existing script entry. Select a row from the table and click the buttonto change the settings for that function.

D e l e t e deletes the selected entry row.

M o v e U p moves the selected entry row up by one row in the script.

M o v e D o w n moves the selected entry down by one row in the script.

I n s e r t Sc r i p t can be used to insert the contents of another script file into the current script.

R e p e a t S c r i p t value defines how many times the script will be repeated during the measurements.The range of repeat script values is from 1 to 10,000.

When the U s e d e v ic e se t t i n g s f o r s c r ip t c o m m a n d s option is selected, the settings that havebeen configured in the Measurement Properties dialog are used for the script settings. For example,if you have defined a Voice number in the Measurement Properties – Configuration dialog, thatnumber is used when you add a voice call in the script and the Voice Call Properties dialog does notappear.

N e w clears the entry fields for inserting new script values.

O p e n opens a dialog for selecting an existing script file to be modified or reviewed.

S a v e saves the file with the existing name or if the script is a new one, opens a dialog for insertingthe file name.

C l o s e exits the dialog.

Scrambling code or removed scrambling code can be selected for conditional testing using the IFloop.

Examples of conditions:

• “Is different”: If UMTS carrier RSSI is different than -70dBm

Whenever the value is other than -70dBm, IF condition is triggered




• “Is changed”: If UMTS carrier RSSI is changed

Whenever the UMTS carrier RSSI value changes, the IF condition is triggered. Thereference value is unknown, which means that when starting the measurement andwhen the first UMTS carrier RSSI value is received, the IF condition is triggered. The

next trigger occurs when the carrier RSSI value is different from the previous value.For example,

Carrier RSSI value in the log file: -70dBm triggers the IF string

Carrier RSSI value -70dBm nothing happens

Carrier RSSI value -68dBm Triggers the IF string

6.19.1 Script transfer stop commands

With the forced stop command it is possible to abort a current script command. For example, a datatransfer can be canceled if the serving system changes, instead of waiting for its completion. It is

also possible to set a time duration for data transfers. If a data transfer is not completed during auser-defined time, the Nemo Outdoor application will abort the data transfer automatically. Pleasenote that in this case the data disconnection status is written as Normal data disconnect .

The forced stop command, e.g., with voice calls, can be used in conjunction with conditional or waitcommands as well. For example, if a call should be stopped when the system changes from GSM toUMTS, the forced stop command can be used to end the call immediately after the system changes.In the example below, the voice call is started only when the serving system is GSM. Call durationis set to 120 seconds. It should be noted that the actual call duration is set with line three, Waituntil system is UMTS but at most 120s . After the call is connected, the script starts waiting forthe system to be changed to UMTS, or at most 120 seconds. The call is ended with End a voicecall (forced) with line 4 after 120 seconds, or when system changes to UMTS; whichever comesfirst.




In the following you will see a PS data and voice call example. The data transfer is aborted whenthe system changes to GSM, or after 60 seconds; voice call is continued. The call duration is 60seconds.

In the following you will see another PS data and voice call example. The data transfer and voicecall are aborted when the system changes to GSM, or after 60 seconds, whichever comes first.

The voice call is aborted when the system changes to GSM, or after 60 seconds, but data transfer iscontinued normally with the Stop FTP transfer (Normal) command.




6.19.2 Add menu

The Add menu contains all the items that can be used in a script. Selecting an item may open adialog where you need to define some parameters and settings. See earlier chapters for moredetailed information on the dialogs. The Start External Application item is described in moredetail in chapter Start external application.

In the Script Editor, by clicking Add and selecting Send DTMF Characters you are able to sendDTMF sequences. You can, for example, make calls to service numbers that work by using DTMFtones. This command can only be used during voice calls.




6.19.2.1 Receive call

In the Incoming Call Configuration dialog you can define settings for incoming calls.

Ca l l d u r a t i o n determines the time that the call lasts in seconds. The duration timer is started fromthe channel assignment. The range of duration values is from 1 to 1,000,000 seconds. Note thatthe maximum value of this parameter is the same as the value you have set as the DelayBetween Call Attempts parameter.

Ca l l r e c e p t i o n t i m e o u t value determines the maximum duration of the call reception attempt. Ifthe value is exceeded before the cellular system has assigned a traffic channel, the call receptionattempt will be stopped and the attempt will be marked as a failure. The range of the Call ReceptionTimeout value is from 5 to 60 seconds. The value is recommended to be at least 10 seconds.

Select the E n a b l e N e m o S e r v e r c o n n e c t io n option to enable incoming calls from Nemo Server.

N e m o S e r v e r Se t t i n g s button opens the HTTPS Options dialog where you can define connectionsettings.

O w n n u m b e r defines the device’s phone number.

S e r v e r l i n e defines the Nemo Server phone number.

Select the E n a b l e Vo i c e q u a l i t y option to activate the voice quality settings. Note that the voicequality settings are available only if your license supports voice quality measurements.




R e f e r e n c e s a m p l e f il e n a m e defines the reference sample to which the received audio sample iscompared. If you want to use your own test samples, make sure that the samples are of 8KHzsampling rate, 16-bit linear coded .wav files that are no longer than six seconds in length. With theTerratec sound card, sampling rate can be 8kHz or 16 kHz (for WB-AMR testing) and sample lengtha maximum of 30 seconds. For ECHO measurements, use one of the following samples: 10s.wav,4s_m.wav, 8s.wav, ru_6s.wav, and ru_6s_wb.wav.



Sa v e o n l y s a m p l e s b e lo w t h r e s h o l d determines the value below which the samples are saved.The threshold values range from 0-5, 0 being the worst and 5 the best value. The default thresholdvalue is 5, which means that all samples are saved.

♦ Note that the Script Settings table is activated only if you access this dialog through theScript Editor.

♦ Note that with voice quality measurements when calling the Nemo audio server, thedelay time between a new call attempt and the previous call disconnect must be at least10 seconds.




Both devices have been assigned for the same script group called “PS data”.

Script groups are useful especially if certain devices and when script files are needed to besynchronized. In this example, it is not necessary to use the script group. As many synchronizationpoints as needed can be added to the script files. It should be noted that the number ofsynchronization points between script files used in the same script group should be equal.

With the W a i t F i x e d and R a n d o m options you can define a fixed wait time (in ms) or a randomtime (define the minimum and maximum values in ms) and then select one of the following:

• Cu r r e n t t i m e : wait (fixed or random) is added between items in the script.

• L a s t n o t i f i ca t i o n : wait (fixed or random) is added after the selected notification. Select thenotification from the drop-down menu. For example, you can make the script pause for 60seconds after a call attempt event. This will prevent the script from continuing before the

call attempt has completed. Note that also custom-made notifications can be selected here.• With the Cu s t o m c o n d i t i o n option you can make the script wait for a custom condition.

Click the Edit Rules button to access the Wait Custom Conditions dialog where you candefine a wait condition. For example, you can define a specific parameter value.




• N e x t n o t i f ic a t i o n : script waits for the selected event notification to appear. Select thenotification from the drop-down menu. For example, you can make the script wait until thesystem changes from GSM to UMTS.

• Cu r r e n t s y s t e m i s : script file continues only when the system selected from the drop-down menu is in use.

• B u t a t m o s t value is the maximum wait time in ms if the defined notification does notappear.

Adding a pause in the script file:

1. First define the wait time in ms.

2. Then define from which point onwards the wait time is calculated: from the current time orafter a certain event notification, such as, call attempt.

3. If you selected the Last notification or Next notification option, define also the maximumwait time in ms after which the script will continue.




6.19.2.3 Advanced script settings

6.19.2.3.1 Conditional blocks

By selecting Advanced | If/End If , you will enter the If Condition Settings dialog. Here you candefine criteria which have to be met until a set of commands between the If - End If block in thescript takes place. If the criteria set in this dialog are met, Outdoor will perform the set ofcommands within the If - End If block, and if the criteria are not met, this set of commands will beskipped altogether and the script resumes from the first item after the End If command.

Click on the Field tab to select a system and a parameter from the drop-down menu. In theCondition and Value fields you can define the value conditions for the parameter which have to bemet for the commands inside the If-End If block to take place. In this example the serving systemmust be UMTS FDD. You can select the system in the Value drop-down menu. Click Add to list toadd the condition to the list. If you want to remove the condition from the list, select it and clickRemove . Click OK .




Next, add commands to the script from the Add menu, and move them to their appropriate placeswith the Move Up and Move Down tabs. In the following example script, Serving sys.=5 on thefourth row in the Parameters field indicates the criteria that were set earlier. If the criteria aremet, the commands between the If Condition and End If commands will be performed.




6.19.2.3.2 Loops

You can add loops in the script files. By going to Add | Advanced | Loop/End Loop , you willenter the Loop Settings dialog.

You can select from the following loop options:

• Repeat the loop x times

• Repeat the loop for x minutes

• Repeat the loop until the time is x

• Repeat the loop as long as the following criteria are met

With the Repeat the loop as long as the following criteria are met option you can setconditions for the loop to take place. Click the Field button to select a parameter. Then define the

condition and value for the selected parameter. Finally click Add to list and OK to add the loop inthe script.




In the first example, the loop has been set to be repeated twice before continuing with the script.Click OK and add the wanted script commands in the script from the Add menu. You can move thecommands to their appropriate places with the Move Up and Move Down tabs. In the examplebelow the voice call within the loop will be repeated twice before continuing with the script.

The second loop option allows the user to define criteria which need to be met for the loop to berepeated. In the example below the system and parameter ( UMTS | Ec/N0 (Active) ) have beenselected from the Field drop-down menu. The condition for the loop is that the parameter value

needs to be greater or equal to -5. Click Add to list and OK . The commands inside the loop blockwill be performed only and as long as the Ec/N0 (Active) value is greater or equal to -5 .




In the example below the script is set to start and continue making calls only when and as long asthe call is connected to UMTS. As soon as there is a handover from UMTS to GSM, the call stops.

6.19.2.3.3 Counters and timers

Counters and timers can be used with If and Loop commands as conditions. With a counter you candefine a number of instances and with a timer you can define a certain time in seconds.

Click the Add button in the Script Editor and select Advanced | Counter or Advanced | StartTimer . Define a name for the counter/timer and click OK. The counter/timer can now be selectedas a condition in the If and Loop Condition Settings dialogs.

6.20.1 Measurement areas

♦ Please note that this feature works only with OpenStreetMap data.

Measurement areas are used to define geographical areas where measurements are paused(blocked areas) or allowed to run (trigger areas). Blocked areas are represented as red rectangles

or polygons and trigger areas are green rectangles or polygons.

To draw and area on the map, select the correct tool for a trigger area or a blocked area and drawthe points on the map. To finish drawing, double-click the last point. The areas can be modified withthe arrow tool by selecting a point along the edge of the area and clicking on the new location.

A list of all defined trigger and blocked areas is displayed on the right-hand side of the dialog. Youcan remove areas by clicking the X next to the area name.

The pause logic and areas work as follows:

• If only trigger areas are defined, measurement is allowed in the trigger areas and otherareas are considered to be blocked, i.e. measurement is not allowed. In the example below,

measurements will be run when the test vehicle is in the green areas. Otherwisemeasurements will be paused.

• If only blocked areas are defined, measurement is not allowed in the blocked areas andother areas are considered to be trigger areas, i.e. measurement is allowed. In the examplebelow, measurements will be paused when the test vehicle is in the red areas. Otherwisemeasurements will be run normally.




• If blocked and trigger areas overlap, blocked areas outweigh the trigger areas. In theexample below, measurements will be run when the test vehicle is in the green areas.Otherwise measurements will be paused.

6.21 Forcing functions

Nemo Outdoor offers a set of forcing functions that are accessible through the Nemo Outdoor userinterface. In addition to these, some terminals support more forcing features that are accessible viathe mobile keypad. See the terminal-specific data sheets for more information on the forcingfeatures available for each terminal.




6.21.1 Channel locking

You can lock test mobiles to a channel and/or scrambling code during the measurement process.Note that even though you are locking the mobile to a certain channel in idle mode, you are actuallylocking the mobile only to the base station supporting that channel at that moment if you make a

call. As the base station can carry several channels simultaneously, the connection can beestablished or handed over to another channel but not to another base station. In other words, thechannel used cannot be totally controlled by the mobile as the system will assign the channel.

To lock the Nemo Outdoor test mobile to a channel:

♦ Note that when the channel lock is activated, the Neighbor Stations window displays onlyServing Cell values.

1. When you have connected the measurement device, select the device and click theMeasurement settings button in the Devices view and select Channel Locking . Youcan also select Measurement | <device name> | Channel Locking . The Channel

Locking dialog will appear on your screen.

2. Enter the system and channel number and/or scrambling code within the given limits (itmust be a valid channel/scrambling code number) and click the Lock button. The buttonwill remain pushed down indicating that channel lock is activated. A red indicator will appearin the Device Status view when a lock is activated.




3. Click the Unlock button in the Forcing Functions | Channel Locking dialog to releasethe channel lock or select a new channel.

6.21.2 Band locking

You can use band locking if you want to compare how the network functions with different bandsand systems. Using the Band Locking dialog, you can force the mobile to use certain bands orsystem(s).

You can open the Band Locking dialog by selecting the device and clicking the Measurementsettings button in the Devices view and choosing Band Locking .




Choose the band(s) or system(s) from the list and click the Lock button. This will lock the mobile tothe band/system you have chosen. Click Close to exit the dialog.

A red indicator will appear in the Device Status view when a lock is activated. To release the bandlock, open the Band Locking dialog and click the Unlock button.

6.21.3 Network selection

With Nemo Outdoor it is possible to manually register and deregister to and from a mobile network.Click the Measurement Settings button in the Devices view and select Network Selection .

The Register , Deregister , and Scan functions are available only when the device is in detached

mode.




Select Manual , type in a PLMN ID , and click Register to register to a specific network. If youselect Automatic , the device will automatically select the network.

♦ Note that if the device is registered to a network, it is recommended to deregister thedevice before registering to another network. Especially when switching between

operators. Also note that all NMR devices have mobile data enabled and the devices areattached to a network so they need to be deregistered.

Click the Scan button to scan for available networks. Note that the scanning may take severalminutes and it cannot be canceled. Select a network from the list by double-clicking the networkname and click Register . From the Device Status view you can observe the status of the device.

To switch back to Automatic mode, select Automatic and click Register .

6.21.4 Handover control

♦ This functionality is available only with certain Nokia terminals.

Forcing handovers can be used to check that they work properly. You do not have to wait for themobile to make handovers, as you can, for example, force a handover to every neighbor cell.

Start a measurement and initiate a call ( Measurement control button | Start Voice Call ).Open the Handover Control dialog ( Measurement settings button | Handover Control ).Define the channel and handover type and click OK .

The B C C H A R F CN can be used to select the broadcast control channel (1-885) you want to forcethe handover to.

The B S I C field defines the Base station identification code for the target cell.




The user has three mode request commands, Normal mode , Handover forcing and Handoversuppression . If the terminal accepts the command made by the user, the corresponding buttonwill indicate this. If the command fails, the user is notified. It is also possible to send the samecommand several times without clicking other commands (i.e. send a new Handover Forcingcommand with different bias values or forced the terminal to different scr. code, or in GSM to adifferent channel without first deactivating HO forcing). For example, the device can be forced toscrambling code 6. Once the terminal is locked to scrambling code 6, the user can set a new targetcell and press the Handover forcing button again.

The Target cell settings and Non-Target cell settings fields enable the user to define 3G offsets, i.e.enhance target cell Ec/N0 and RSCP, and degrade non-target cell Ec/N0 and RSCP)

During Normal mode , forcing is disabled and the terminal performs 2G and 3G handoversnormally.

The system field shown in the Target cell field shows in real time whether the serving system isGSM or WCDMA. When the serving system is GSM, the target cell and non-target cell settings aredisabled. In case the current serving system is GSM, but the wanted target cell is in WCDMA, bandlocking can be used first to lock the terminal to WCDMA.




Once target cell settings including biasing information are defined by the user, handover mode canbe changed to Handover forcing mode by pressing the button. Handover forcing is done by biasingtarget and non-target cell Ec/N0 and RSCP values. Therefore it is also possible to bias the currentactive cell. For example, in the example below active set includes only one scrambling code. Bypressing the Handover forcing button, the terminal reports biasing Ec/N0 and RSCP values as setby the user. When the mode is changed back to Normal mode the terminal reports unbiasedvalues.

In the next example regarding Forced 3G handover and measurement report modification, theterminal active set includes scrambling code 63 with Ec/N0 value -7.6dB shown as a brown curve.

Scrambling code 6 and 255 are seen in the monitored set with colors blue and green. Scramblingcode 6 is selected to be a target cell.




Once the button is pressed, scrambling code number 6 is added to active set with Ec/N0 value -4.7dB. Scrambling codes seen in the monitored set are decreased -10dB. Scrambling code 6 is seenwith Ec/N0 value -18.2dB (brown) and scrambling code 255 (green) is removed from the monitored

set.

This situation is active as long as forcing/biasing is enabled. The device sends measurement reportsto the network with biased values.

Once the mode is changed back to normal, the terminal starts reporting unbiased values.




When the Handover suppression button is pressed, the terminal is not allowed to do handoversto other cells. It should be noted that target cell biasing can be done only with WCDMA. Biasing/measurement report message modification is not possible with GSM at the moment. You can usethis feature, for example, to find the edge of a cell by stopping the handovers from taking placewhen driving away from a base station.

♦ Note that with scripts you can also perform handover forcing from one system to another.See chapter Making script files.




6.21.5 Cell barring

♦ This functionality is available for Nokia 2G, Motorola 3G, and HiSilicon-based LTEterminals.

During the measurement you can select if you wish to access only cells that are accessible to allend users (Accept), all cells; that is, also cells that are barred (Ignore), and only barred cells(Reverse).

The Cell Barring dialog is accessed by selecting the device and clicking the Measurementsettings button in the Devices view and choosing Cell Barring . You can also selectMeasurement | <device name> | Cell Barring .

6.21.6 Set terminal radio on/off (airplane mode)It is possible to set the terminal radio on and off by selecting the device and clicking theMeasurement settings button in the Devices view and selecting Set Terminal RadioOn/Off . You can also select Measurement | <device name> | Set Terminal Radio On/Off .

The Device Status view will display a red indicator when the terminal radio is off.




6.21.7 AMR codec forcing

♦ This feature is available with Qualcomm-based devices.

It is possible to force a device to use a certain AMR codec mode. For example, when a UE is forcedto the WCDMA AMR WB codec, it can freely use any WB AMR codec from 6.6 kbps to 23.85 kbps..

The codecs are enabled/disabled from the Measurement Properties – Measurement page.

6.22 Cell testing

The surrounding cells of a location can be tested through an automated list of test calls that arelocked to a cell at a time. The Cell Testing dialog is accessed by selecting the device and clickingthe Measurement settings button in the Devices view and choosing Cell Testing . You canalso select Measurement | <device name> | Cell Testing .

P h o n e n u m b e r defines the phone number that is called at the outset of the cell test. During thecall the neighbor list which defines the cells to be tested is updated. This is necessary since if thecell from which the cell testing is performed is a strong one, without this call the neighbour list mayremain empty.




Te s t c a s e s defines whether the user wishes to perform Voice call or Packet call testing or bothby selecting Voice & Packet in the drop-down menu. If the user selects both, the test starts with avoice connection attempt, and after that the test continues with the attempt to create a PDPcontext with the cell. The choice of test case also affects the displayed fields in this dialog. Forexample, if Voice call is selected, no Packet call settings are displayed

R X l e v e l t h r e s h o l d : if the cell to be tested is a GSM cell, only cells stronger than the value definedhere will be included in the test

Ec / N 0 t h r e s h o l d : if the cell to be tested is a UMTS cell, only cells that are stronger than this valuewill be included in the test

M a x i m u m n u m b e r o f c a ll s defines the maximum number of calls that are made in the test

Vo ic e ca l l s et t i n g s | M a x i m u m n u m b e r o f r e t r i e s defines the maximum number of retries to acell if no voice connection is formed. After the maximum voice connection attempts Nemo Outdoorcontinues to the next cell or to packet call testing

P ac k e t co n n e c t io n s e t t i n g s | M a x i m u m n u m b e r o f r e t r i e s defines the access point name forthe packet connection and the maximum number of retries for the connection attempts to a cell.After the maximum voice connection attempts Nemo Outdoor continues to the next cell

S a v e r e s u l t s t o f i l e defines whether the report is saved to a file

S a v e r e s u l t s t o c l ip b o a r d defines whether the report is saved on the clipboard after testing.

The Test results page shows the progress of the test. The green color indicates successfulattempts, and the number the number of attempts.

6.23 Missing Neighbor Detection

Real -time missing neighbor detection can be performed with the possibility to detect bothGSM/WCDMA and CDMA missing neighbors at the same time. Missing neighbor measurements are

also supported on some Nokia terminals. You have three options in which to perform missingneighbor detection:




• with a mobile terminal supporting missing neighbor detection

• a scanner

• a scanner and a mobile

Each cell has list of neighboring intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-system cells. A terminalsees/measures only cells in the neighbor list, whereas a scanner measures all available cells.Missing neighbor detection is based on comparing scanner measurements with the neighbor list ofthe mobile. Hence, a possible missing neighbor refers to a cell that is not in the neighbor list of themobile at a given time, but is detected/measured by the scanner. In mobile only missing neighbormeasurements, the mobile is able to detect also missing neighbors through the missing neighbordetection functionality.

6.23.1 Missing neighbor detection with a mobile

1. Connect your mobile phone to Nemo Outdoor.

2. In the Devices view, select the device and click the Measurement control button .Select Frequency Scanning Properties . Select BSIC decoding and Missing neighbordetection in the Frequency s canning view. Next, click on Select Channels .

♦ Note that both BSIC decoding and Missing neighbor detection need to be selected andTop-N option deselected.

3. Select the channels for scanning in the Select Channels dialog.

4. Click OK and OK .




5. Start the device by pressing on the work online button if you have not done this already,and select Measurement control | Start Single Shot Scanning or StartContinuous Scanning .

6. Once the selected scans have been performed, Nemo Outdoor compares the scanningresults to the neighbor list of the serving cell before scanning was initiated and reportspossible detected missing neighbors.

6.23.2 Missing neighbor detection with a scanner/scanner and mobile

You will need a scanner or a scanner and a mobile. If you are performing missing neighbordetection with a scanner only, the scanner needs either of the following options enabled: GSM Layer3 or GSM/WCDMA decoding. Note that missing neighbor detection using a scanner only isnot available for CDMA/EVDO.

A scanner scans all possible pilots whereas a mobile scans only channels that are on its neighborlist. Nemo Outdoor compares these two measurements and, based on the data, reports theneighbor channels that are seen by the scanner but are not in the mobile's neighbor list. You canobserve the missing neighbors in a bar graph and also view some important network parameters,such as, difference to strongest, Ec/N0, and RSCP related to the missing neighbors.

Connect a mobile and a scanner to Nemo Outdoor. Configure the devices so that they aremeasuring the same frequency and channels.

From Measurement | <device name> , select Missing Neighbor to open the following dialog.The field displays the scanner(s) used. The user can also set a minimum RX level threshold for

missing neighbor. If the measured RX level is below the threshold, the channel is not detected as amissing neighbor. Click on Enable to start the missing neighbor detection.




In GSM Missing Neighbor detection, the maximum number of missing neighbors is 32. However,note that it is recommended to use default values to prevent false missing neighbor detection

results.• Number of missing neighbors: Max. 32, default 3.

• RX level: -50- -110dBm, default -95dBm




Open a bar graph, for example, with a Missing Neighbor Ec/N0 layer ( Data | Bar Graph | New ,click the New Layer button and select the parameter in the Y box). The bar graph with theselected parameter will display the missing neighbor channel(s).

6.24 Pilot pollution analysis

Available for UMTS, CDMA and EVDO networks, Pilot Pollution Analysis measurements can beperformed in real time with Nemo Outdoor by using test terminals or a scanning receiver. In a pilotpollution situation there are more active/monitored pilots than a handset can measure, or there isno clear dominance for any pilots in the area. The pilot signal is used to distinguish cells in thenetwork from one another. Pilot pollution analysis is done based on CELL MEASUREMENT events,and analysis is always active. The user can define thresholds for pilot pollution analysis via NemoOutdoor’s UI. Pilot pollution is detected when all the criterias match.

Right-click on the device in the Devices view and select Pilot Pollution Analysis .

The user can define thresholds for pilot pollution analysis via Nemo Outdoor user interface.




Ec / N 0 a c t i v e se t b e s t b e lo w t h r e s h o l d ( d B ) (for UMTS): The default value is set to -12dB. Pilotpollution analysis is done when the best reported active set Ec/N0 value is below -12dB.

6.24.4 CDMA/EVDO pilot pollution analysis - Scanners

• Ec/I0 values for pilots are less than -12dB

• Ec/I0 values of the pilots are within -6dB from the best Ec/N0 value

6.25 GSM interference analysis

In GSM mobile communication networks, system capacity is often limited by co-channelinterference. This is because of the surrounding cells using the same carrier frequency, or adjacentchannel interference when surrounding cells use a channel too close to the serving cell used by aterminal. The GSM recommendations state that reference interference will be achieved at aminimum C/I margin of 9 dB for co-channel interference, and that the margin is -9 dB C/I foradjacent channel interference with voice. With packet switched data connection C/I margin shouldbe much higher. Interference source can be a BCCH or TCH channel, or it can be also from out ofband in some circumstances. ETSI 05.05 requirements for the interference rejection are:

• Co-channel channel interference: z = 9 dB

• 200 kHz adjacent channel: z = -9dB






GSM co-channel and adjacent channel analysis is done in real time during the measurement andplayback with Nemo Outdoor. The user must enable interference analysis similarly, as with, e.g.missing neighbor detection. Interference detection is done based on GSM terminal and GSM scannermeasurements and these measurements are combined together. GSM terminal continuously reportsRX level, RX quality and C/I values. With RX level and RX quality, the sub values are used to makecorrect analysis in case DTX downlink is used.

In idle mode C/I and RX level values are used to trigger interference analysis from the BCCHchannel. A decent RX level with a simultaneous poor C/I value is a clear sign of an interferencesituation. Once triggering is done, the power of BCCH channel used by a terminal is measured alsoby a scanning receiver. BCCH decoding must be enabled with a scanning receiver to decode BSICinformation. Power of adjacent channels are (+/ - 1) is also measured by the scanning receiver. Itshould be noted that the C/I value is not available with all test terminals in idle mode. Due to thislimit interference analysis in idle mode cannot be performed with all GSM test terminals.

During dedicated mode, RX level sub, RX quality sub and C/I reported by terminal are observed. C/I

value measured by the terminal is not available all the time in dedicated mode. For example, whenAMR speech codec is used, the terminal reports the LQE (Link Quality Estimate) value to thenetwork. During this time the C/I value reported by the terminal is not valid. Please note that alltest terminals do not report C/I value. Triggering points in dedicated mode are:

• RX level sub and RX quality sub, OR RX level sub and C/I

These two combinations are observed all the time during the measurement to trigger interferenceanalysis. Analysis is based on TCH channel numbers if valid data is available, or BCCH if no TCHchannel data is found. If frequency hopping is used, C/I average value is used. The user can definetriggering limits via the Nemo Outdoor user interface. Default values are:

• RX Level Sub is above or equal user-defined threshold (default value -90 dBm)

• RX Quality Sub is above or equal user defined threshold (default value 4)

• Channel average C/I is below or equal user defined threshold (default value 10 dB)

The following data is extracted from the terminal and written to the terminal measurement file:

• Terminal serving channel number

• or TCH channels in case of frequency hopping

• Cell ID

• RX level sub




• RX quality sub

• C/I if available

For each terminal serving channel number X, the following data is extracted from scannermeasurements and written to terminal measurement file:

• Channel number, RX level and BSIC for channel X

• Channel number, RX level and BSIC for channel (X-1)

• Channel number, RX level and BSIC for channel (X+1)

Results are written to IANALYSIS event and can be displayed in different views, for example, in atable grid and bar graph. If BTS file is used also cell names for the serving and interfering cells canbe seen during the measurement and playback. Nemo Outdoor includes two predefined customwindows for GSM interference analysis. Table grid and bar graph.

6.26 Band scan

With the Nemo FSR1 scanner you can perform band scanning. All specified channels are scanned forthe selected band and technology and the strongest measured identifiers (CDMA PN, EVDO PN,WCDMA SC, LTE Cell ID) for every valid channel of that technology type are reported. Signal

strength and signal quality are reported for each identified channel. This feature is useful in areaswhere broadcasted technologies and bands are unknown.




To start a band scan, right click the Nemo FSR1 item in the Devices view and select Band Scan .

Available technologies and bands supported by the scanner are shown under Scan settings . Pleasenote that only licensed technologies (systems) are shown.

Select the technologies and bands that you want to be scanned and define the threshold levels forthe parameters available. Finally press the Start Scan button. With the default threshold values it

takes approximately two minutes and 30 seconds to scan GSM 900, 1800 and WCDMA 2100 bands.The scanning rate can be increased by adjusting the threshold values.




Scanning results are displayed on the Scan results page. It is possible to save the results to a textfile (.csv).




6.27 Timeslot testing

♦ This functionality is available for certain GSM and GSM/UMTS dual-mode mobiles only.

With Nemo Outdoor, it is possible to test the timeslots of any particular channel.

Select Measurement | <device name> | Timeslot Testing and the Timeslot Test Configurationdialog will be opened.

♦ Note that if you select the Run Test Until Completed option, the test may continueindefinitely. Click the Stop Testing button to interrupt the timeslot test.

The S p e c i f y ca l l d u r a t i o n option enables you to define a time in seconds that the call will last.




In the Ch a n n e l Se t t i n g s | B CCH c h a n n e l you define the Channel (BCCH) that you want to test.Timeslots used by BCCH refers to the timeslots that are used for system messaging and thereforecannot be accessed with mobiles. Click on the … button to enter the Select Channel dialog.

S a v e r e s u l t s t o f i l e defines whether the report is saved to a file

S a v e r e s u l t s t o c l ip b o a r d defines whether the report is saved on the clipboard after testing.

On the Test results page you can view the progress of the test. Selecting timeslots will excludethem from the test, for example, in the case they are already reserved for data testing. Green colorindicates channels and their timeslots that have been called, and the number in the slot the numberof calls made in the timeslot. In the table you can see a list of all the TCHs of the selected channeland their timeslots. There is a yellow frame around the timeslot that was accessed during theprevious call. Those white timeslots that were not tested will turn red. This happens, for example, ifthe user stops the testing.

The N u m b e r o f Ca l l A t t e m p t s field tells how many calls have been made so far.

Click the Stop testing button to interrupt the timeslot test.

When there are no more white slots left, i.e. all time slots except for the ones that were excludedfrom the test by selecting them (grey), the measurement will stop on its own.

defined by the position of the cursor in the graph window. Select a layer in the Layers view, anddouble-click on any parameter in the Values view to view the parameter properties.

If a given parameter value consists of more than one value, a separate parameter window, anextended values list, appears.




In the example above, the Parameters view is organized into tabs to view more than oneparameter and its values. In this example the Ec/N0 (active) parameter is selected. You can alsodrag and drop the Values and Parameter views inside, beside, above or below each other. Forexample, in the example below the parameter view is embedded in the Values view.

In the example below all views are separate. By clicking the maximize icon at the upper right-hand corner of a view it is possible to maximize the view. Click the exit icon at the top to closethe view. You can reopen the view by right-clicking on the graph and selecting Values .

By right-clicking on the Values view, you can access the Edit Parameters dialog.




6.28.5 Graph layer color configurationNemo Outdoor offers an option to manually configure graph layer colors. This feature can be usedwith line and bar graphs, and is very useful when observing a certain parameter or parameters, asdifferent colors can be assigned e.g., to different channels, scrambling codes, cell ID, etc. First, addparameters to the graph by dragging them from the parameter tree. Next, double-click on a layer inthe Layers side panel to enter the Layer Properties dialog.

If you select the Classic (algorithmic) option for coloring the graph, Nemo Outdoor will pick up thecolor automatically.




If you choose Fixed color , click … to enter the Colors dialog. Define the fixed color by selecting it inthe Standard or Custom page, or define the RGB for the color. Click OK . The graph will be coloredbased on the fixed color you selected.




Selecting Color set in the Color method drop-down menu will activate the Color set parameter and Color set fields.

Select a parameter in the Color set parameter drop-down menu, and a color set in the Color set drop-down menu. Note that only layer-specific parameters will be available in the Color setparameter menu.

To edit the color set in question, click on Edit Color Set.. button. It will lead you to the Color SetProperties dialog. Here you can edit the color set selected. See chapter Color Set Editor for moreinformation.

The parameter will be colored based on its values in the graph.




In the picture below you will see a bar graph colored based on BSIC numbers. Each BSIC ispresented with its own color; the channels without BSIC information appear in blue color.

Similarly, the picture below presents a bar graph where bars are colored based on BSIC numbers.All channels with BSIC information appear in green color, and channels without BSIC informationare shown with black color.




The example below shows a bar graph in which bars are colored based on channel numbers.

6.28.6 Spectrum graphs

Spectrum graphs are useful for displaying spectrum scanning results.

By adding markers (vertical lines) on top of the window, it is possible to see the RX level for certainfrequencies shown on the side panel. Markers can be also edited, added or removed via edit markerwindow.




With the peak value indicator tool you can visualize the peak value of the selected parameter foreach frequency. Open the Layer Properties dialog and select Yes in the Draw peak line field.

The peak value line will be drawn with the selected color. In the image below, the peak line isdrawn in red. To reset the peak line, right-click on the graph and select Reset Peak Lines .




If more detailed information about the link adaptation is needed, it can be seen from the HSDPAlink adaptation information table grid. Distribution is shown for both antenna ports from the lastsample duration which is set to 200ms. E.g., four percentage of the time during the sampleduration modulation for antenna port 0 has been 16QAM with transport block size 14411 bits andfor the second antenna port 1 modulation was 16QAM with transport block size 12266 bits.

6.29 Viewing grids

Along with the graph windows, the grid tables offer you useful information about measurementevents, such as statistics from the current measurement, QoS parameters, Layer2 and Layer 3messages (the selection depends on the technology measured), and packet capture data. All eventscan be decoded by double-clicking on the event row. The decoded message is displayed in aseparate window. Alternatively, you can right-click on an event row and from the popup menuselect Decode Message. To open several decoded message windows, select Decode Message inNew Window option.

To view data in Packet decoder grids during playback, you need to enable the packet decodingfunction in Device Settings Measurement Properties | General | Advanced prior toperforming data measurements. Select Full or Partial in the Enable IP Capture field. A separate.pcap-file will be generated for the measurement, and this file needs to accompany themeasurement file in the same folder when viewing and decoding packet capture information inPacket Decoder grids in Nemo Outdoor. This requires Microsoft Network Monitor to be installed.

Please see chapter IP packet capturing for more information.

An empty grid table is opened by selecting Data | [Grid Type] | New . If you select one of theready-made custom windows and you have multiple devices connected to Nemo Outdoor, you needto select which device(s) you would like to view in the grid from the Select Device(s) to View dialog. In most grids you only view one device in a grid at a time. Open several grid windows toview multiple devices at the same time. However, in the Parameters grids you can view severaldevices simultaneously as separate columns.




You can also drag and drop parameters from the parameter tree into grids. Click on the parameterand drag it in the grid. It will be added there.

6.29.1 Find function in signaling grid based on decoded message

You can use the Find functionality in signaling grids to find message(s) with a specific string in its

decoded message. Select the grid view, press Ctrl + F, and type the search string in the Searchstring field in the Find dialog. Depending on whether Up or Down direction is selected in theDirection field, the event next in the time sequence will be highlighted in the grid.

6.29.2 Grid popup menu

Right-click on the grid to open a popup menu with various tools for configuring the layout of thegrid. Note that the contents of the menu vary depending on the grid type.

6.29.2.6 Add/remove separator

In Parameters grids you can add empty lines (separators) to make the view easier to read. SelectRemove Separator to delete an empty line from the grid.

6.29.2.7 Open

Open allows you to open the selected parameter or statistic in another view (line graph, table grid,map, etc.). This item is available only with parameters and statistics grids.

6.29.2.8 Grid color configuration in events grids

To make grids more clear, you can colorize certain events in a grid based on the event name orevent ID. Right-click on a grid, and select Configure Colors from the popup menu, or click on theConfigure Colors button in the Grid Properties dialog. The Grid Color Configuration dialog isopened.

♦ Note that not all events and parameters are available with all devices.

In the events Grid Color Configuration dialog select the Event name column. You can set a text

color and/or a background color for the selected events. If you want to colorize the background,select Call events (Event name) in the Background Color Set field and select (none) in the TextColor Set field. Alternatively, if you want to colorize only the text in the grid, select Call Events (Event name) in the Text Color Set field from the drop-down menu and select (none) in theBackground Color Set field, as in the example below. Note that the contents of the Grid ColorConfiguration dialog depend on which columns have been selected in the Grid Properties dialog.




Click Edit to view the Color Set Properties dialog. Make sure that the color set type is string.Here you can also add more strings to the color set through Add…




In the String Properties dialog specify the name of the string in the Text field and select the colorcode for it. If you want, you can also write a description for the string text in the Description field.

Click OK in the String Properties and Color Set Properties dialogs. Finally, click OK in the GridColor Configuration dialog. You can see color-coded events in the grid data view. Each colorcorresponds to a certain type of event, defined in the Color Set Properties dialog.




6.29.2.9 Grid color configuration based on decoded message in grids

Messages and Events grids can be color-coded based on a string in a message’s decoded message.In this case, you need to create a new color set in the Color Set Editor. It is possible to color-codeboth the text in the grid and the background color. While you can choose to colorize only one of

them, it is also possible to color-code both text and background. For example, you can have amessage appear in white text and blue background color. However, in that case remember to createtwo new color sets for the same string, for example, Decoded Text_1 and Decoded Text_2 . Belowyou will see an example of how to create a color set and set it for the background color. ClickAdd…




In the Color Set Properties dialog type, for example, Decoded Text in the Name field. You canalso create a short name for the new color set, or write a description for it. Select string as the colorset type. Click Add… In the String Properties dialog type in the string which will determine themessages to be colored with the new color set.




Click OK , and Close in the Color Set Editor .

Right-click on the grid and select Configure Colors . You can colorize the text color in the gridand/or the background color. If you want to colorize only the text, select the new color set createdabove, Decoded Text, in the Text Color Set field and select (none) in the Background Color Set field. In this example the background will be color-coded, so (none) is selected in the Text ColorSet field, and Decoded Text in the Background Color Set field. Click OK .




All messages with sysInfoType2 in its decoded message will be color-coded with the Decoded text color set.

6.29.2.10 Grid color configuration in events grids based on message name

Messages in Events grids can also be color-coded based on the message name. You can color-codethe message text or the background color, or both. Color-coding a message based on its name isdone in the same way as color-coding a message based on a specific string in its decoded message.However, when creating the new color set in the Color Set Editor | Color Set Properties | StringProperties , you need to type the name of the message you want to color-code instead of the stringin the decoded message. Below you will see an example of two color sets made for the samemessage name. Further, both the message text and background will be colorized. Click OK .

Also click OK in the Color Set Properties and Color Set Editor dialogs.




Next, right-click on the messages grid and select Configure Colors , or select Configure Colors inthe Grid Properties dialog. Select Message_2 in the Text Color Set field and Message in theBackground Color Set field. Click OK .

All messages called SYSTEM_INFORMATION_BCH will be color-coded with the new color sets.




You can also edit the default color sets by selecting a color set and clicking Edit… In the Color SetProperties dialog you can change the default settings to the color set.




Parameters with assigned color sets are colorized according to their value. In the example below abackground of the parameter values has been color-coded. Click OK twice to exit the Grid ColorConfiguration dialog.

6.29.2.12 Grid color configuration for table grids

Table grids have default color sets assigned to them. Go to Data | Table Grid | New. In the GridProperties dialog select a device and a parameter set to be viewed in the table grid. Click OK .




The parameters are colorized according to their default color sets. You can also edit the defaultcolor sets. Right-click on the grid, select Configure Colors… the parameter you wish to edit, andEdit… The Color Set Properties dialog appears where you can change the color set settings. ClickOK to exit the dialogs and go back to the table grid.

You can also view cell name information for missing neighbors when a scanner and a mobile areused simultaneously.

6.29.2.13 Configure filters/quick filters

Another method to organize Events grids is to use filters. By using filters, only the selectedmessages will be displayed. Right-click on a grid view and select Configure Filters from the popupmenu




The Grid Filter Configuration dialog is opened.

Select the S h o w i n g a l l option to display all events in the grid window as default. Select the H i d i n g

a l l option from the drop-down menu to hide all events in the grid window as default. If you wouldlike to view one or more messages of a selected type and hide others, select hiding all lines. If youwould like to hide one or more messages of a selected type and view others, select showing alllines.

You can add a filter rule for the grid by clicking on the plus button. A conditional row appears

giving you options based on which the grid filtering takes place.




It is possible to set filtering rules for m e s sa g e n a m e , s u b c h a n n e l and d e c o d e d t e x t . In addition,you can select a parameter in the Select Parameter dialog which you can access through theOther Parameter… item in the filter target popup menu.

The contents of the condition menu vary depending on which item in the filter target menu isselected.

Note also that a separate, independent condition needs to be added from the plus icon at the topleft-hand corner of the dialog. If a condition has two or more constituents, the plus icon next tothe first constituent needs to be clicked. In this case the conditions are indented and combined with

one another with the text and if , and both conditions need to be met for the filtering to take place.




In the example above, a line is filtered out if a message contains a missing neighbor ec/n0 valuethat is less than -5 . The second filtering rule states that if a message name contains the textSYSTEM_INFORMATION_BCH and if a message contains SysInfoType18 , the message is filtered outfrom the grid.

The minus icon removes a row next to it from the list. Alternatively, you can delete all filters byright-clicking on a grid and selecting Quick Filter and Remove All Filters from the popup menu.

The Quick Filter menu offers a shortcut to defining filter rules for messages. Right-click on a row inthe grid and select Quick Filter from the popup menu.

You can now quickly define a filter for the selected layer message. You can choose to hide therespective message and all similar messages either according to the Event ( Hide this Event ),subchannel ( Hide This Subchannel ) or according to the message text ( Hide This Message ). Allmessages with the selected event, subchannel name or message text will be hidden. In the sameway, you can choose to display messages of the selected type only. Select Remove All Filters todelete all filter rules.

When filtering is enabled, the text Filtering will appear in the title bar.

6.29.2.14 Create notification

Select the Create Notification item to create a new notification matching the selected event. Formore information, see chapter Notification Configuration.

6.29.2.15 Decode message

This function will open the selected event row in a decoded form. You can also decode messages bydouble-clicking on the message row.

In the message decoding grid you can use the Show Next Message and Show PreviousMessage grid toolbar buttons to move to the previous/next message. If you move forward orback in the message decoding grid, use the Go to Message button to move to the samemessage in the messages grid. Click the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the contents of themessage decoding grid as text to clipboard.




With certain events such as cell measurement (CELLMEAS), it is also possible to arrange thecontents of the decoded message in three different ways.

The Format as list arranges the contents of a grid’s measurement results in a list. The Formatas horizontal table arranges the contents in the form of a horizontal table with columns, and

the Format as vertical table arranges the contents in a vertical table. The search field in thedecoded text window enables the user to find a string in the decoded message window.

Select a string of text in the decoded text, right-click on it and select Copy to copy the selected textas text to the clipboard. If no text is selected in the decoded text window, all text in it will becopied. This is the same as the Copy to Clipboard functionality.




6.29.2.16 Decode message in new window

This function enables you to have several decoded message windows open at the same time.

6.29.2.17 Automatic decode

The Automatic Decode function opens up a window which displays the currently selected or latestmessage in decoded form.

6.29.2.18 Save - Grid

The Save command allows you to save a selected event row as a text file (.txt). If you select theDecoded Text option, the decoded event text is saved in a text file. You can also save the entiregrid window as an image file (.jpg). From Events grids, you can export data into a MapInfo Tab-Fileor into a CSV file.

6.29.2.19 MapInfo Tab-file export

You can export measurement data into a MapInfo .tab file. In an Events grid, select Save |MapInfo Tab-File . See chapter MapInfo Tab-file export for more information.

6.29.2.20 CSV file export

You can export measurement data into a CSV file. In an Events grid, select Save | CSV File.

The exporting is supported for a single file, and the column separator can be a comma, semicolon,tab or space. The file(s) can be opened with third-party applications. Indoor files are not supportedat the moment. The user can select all events or only specific events from the grid for export.




6.29.2.21 Copy

The Copy command allows you to copy a selected event row and paste to another application astext or as decoded text. If you select the Decoded Text option, the decoded event text is copiedon the clipboard. You can also copy the entire grid window as an image and paste to another

application.Select All

Through the Select All item you can select all events in an Events grid. This presents an easy andquick way to select all lines, for example, to be exported.

6.29.2.22 Find

The Find command allows you to search through the measurement file opened in the grid.

Type in the S ea r c h s t r i n g field what you are looking for. Define if the search results should matchcase and if the search should be applied to whole words only. You can also limit the search todecoded messages only. The matches are highlighted in the grid one by one. To move down to thenext match, press F3 . To move up to the next match, press Shift+F3 .

The search field in the decoded text window enables the user to find a string in the decodedmessage window.

searches where the search key is split across multiple rows of data. It is possible, for example, tosearch and display multiple results in a single Layer 3 message.

It is possible to export and import user parameters from and to Nemo Outdoor. See chapterExport/import settings for more information.

6.30 Viewing maps

Nemo Outdoor supports two types of outdoor maps: MapX and OpenStreetMap maps. Most of thefunctions are the same for both types but there are some differences.

♦ Please note that in order to use OpenStreetMap maps, the computer needs to beconnected to the Internet or OpenStreetMap data must be downloaded on the computer.




Open a map by selecting Data | Map | New MapX or New OpenStreetMap . If you open a newMapX map, Nemo Outdoor will open by default the map that you have entered in the Default Map field in the User Interface Properties dialog, Paths tab. If you open an OpenStreetMap map, theview will center on your current location.

The map window specific commands can be accessed through toolbar buttons as well as from thepopup menu when right-clicking on the map. See chapter Map toolbar buttons for a description ofthe Nemo Outdoor map toolbar buttons.

♦ Note that the Indoor map differs from the example below. For information on Indoormeasurements, refer to chapter Viewing indoor maps.

It is possible to view selected parameters on a map by drag and dropping them in it. Click on aparameter in the Parameters view and drag and drop it on the map. Parameters can also be openedfor all devices at once and seen on different views. First, press down the Ctrl button and select thedevices by clicking on them in the parameter tree. After this, right-click on the parameter you wishto view from the parameter tree and select Open in Map from the drop-down menu.

If you have a GPS receiver connected to the test system, the current location of the test vehicle willbe displayed on the map as a circle on the route. If there is no GPS connected to the system, youcan define the current location manually with the Set Current Location tool (the button isactivated when recording is started). A new GPS event is created in the handler after which alllocation-specific data, such as BTS cell names are displayed using the specified location.

You can observe the values of certain network parameters from the route coloring on the map. Youcan define which color refers to which parameter value. This way it is easy to spot the problemareas on a map.




6.30.1.1 Editing BTS files in Nemo Outdoor

It is possible to edit the locations of base station icons directly in Nemo Outdoor. Open a BTS file ona map. Right-click on a BTS icon and select Move . Then click on the new location and the BTS iconis moved there. You can also remove BTS sites from the BTS file. The changes are saved in the BTS

R o u t i n g a r e a c o d e defines in which routing area the cell belongs.

U T RA N r e g i s t r a t i o n a r e a defines in which UTRAN registration area the cell belongs.

6.30.2 MapX maps

You can customize the MapX map view using the MapX properties. The customized settings can besaved in a MapInfo Geoset file (.gst) and loaded later on. MapInfo Workspaces (*.wor file) cannotbe directly opened with MapX, but can be saved as a .gst file in MapInfo Professional using the

MapInfo MapX Geoset Utility tool (Geoset.mbx) that ships with version 5.x of MapInfo Professional.This file (.gst) can be directly opened by MapX in Nemo Outdoor.




Each MapInfo® raster map has two files: an image file (.tif. .gif, .jpg) and a .tab file When MapInforaster maps are used, the image file is the actual map image file. The .tab file contains informationabout a map (such as location coordinates) and is used by Nemo Outdoor to refer to a particularmap. When using vector data for MapInfo® , there are three different files that need to be in thesame directory, the .tab, .map, and the .id file. The corresponding image and .tab files for rastermaps have to be in the same folder in order to view a MapInfo® map. If you are using a large map(size over 1 Mb), updating the map window will slow down Nemo Outdoor functions. Werecommend you minimize the map size by reducing the number of colors to 256 or 16, or turningthe color map to black and white.

6.30.2.1 MapInfo Tab-file export

You can export measurement data into a MapInfo .tab file. In an Events grid, select Save |MapInfo Tab-File . To export a route plan, create a route plan, right-click on the map and selectRoute Plan | Save as MapInfo Tab-File .

The MapInfo Tab-File Export dialog displays a list of parameters or items that can be exported.Select the items that you would like to include in the .tab file. Also define a File name and Layertitle for the exported .tab file.

To change the symbol for each parameter, double-click the parameter or select a parameter andclick the Change Symbol button. The symbol is used to draw the route in MapInfo. In the SymbolStyle dialog, you can select the symbol and define some effects and background color for it. Finallyclick OK .

Click OK in the MapInfo Tab-File Export to save the .tab file.




6.30.3 Route plans

Route plans are useful when you want to follow a certain route while performing a measurement.You can create route plans automatically from a measurement in playback mode, or you canmanually create one with the Add waypoint functionality both during a measurement and during

playback. In addition, you can alter the route plans at any point through the control buttons in theWaypoints view in the map side panel. You can save a route plan as a Route Plan File (.rpf), and ifyou have made any changes to the route plan properties in the map window, you can save them asa custom window for later use. The custom window will also contain changes made to the color setor Waypoints views.

If you have previously created and saved a route plan (.rpf), you can open it through the OpenRoute Plan item in the map toolbar or by right-clicking on the map and selecting Route Plan |Open from the popup menu. The route plan (.rpf) is now viewed on the map and in the map sidepanel, and is ready to be used in a measurement. By pressing Ctrl+A you can jump from onewaypoint to the next.

6.30.3.1 Creating and modifying route plans with waypoints

Start Nemo Outdoor with at least one device and a GPS receiver attached to it in online or offlinemode. You can select a ready workspace in the Nemo Outdoor Welcome page (see Configurationthrough Welcome page) as you start Nemo Outdoor and view a map window, or alternatively youcan open a map manually from Data | Map .

You can create a route plan manually by clicking on the Add waypoint button in the maptoolbar, or by selecting Add Waypoint in the map popup menu, and clicking on the map. The Add button at the bottom of the Waypoints view in the side panel is also activated. A new route plan(.rpf) appears in the Layers view, and the Waypoints view is enabled. You can save the route planfor later use by clicking on the Save Route Plan icon in the map toolbar or by selecting it in themap popup menu.




You can define waypoint-related settings in the Waypoint view in the side bar. The Show nextwaypoint option should be selected when you want to view the next waypoint on the map during ameasurement. Note that the Show next waypoint functionality is only enabled in online or idlemode, not during playback. The next waypoint is shown on the route as a big circle. If you clear theShow next waypoint option, the Waypoint detection radius and Distance to next waypoint items will also be disabled.

The Waypoint detection radius slider indicates at which distance (meters) the next waypoint isselected. As you approach the next waypoint during a measurement, the next waypoint is selectedon the map when distance to it is smaller than the distance selected in the slide bar. The Distanceto next waypoint field indicates how many meters there still are to the next waypoint from thecurrent position on the route, so the figure decreases as you approach the next waypoint. TheDistance from previous waypoint field indicates how many meters it is from the previouswaypoint from the current position on the route. With the Next button you can move from onewaypoint to the next.

You can make changes to the route plan using the buttons at the bottom of the Waypoints view.

To select a waypoint on the map, click on the Select button in the Waypoints view, then select awaypoint on the map. This waypoint is shown as a bigger circle than the others. In addition, thedelete functionality is only enabled when the Select button is selected. If you click on Delete , theselected waypoint on the route plan will be deleted, and the previous waypoint on the route willautomatically be selected and shown as a bigger circle. If the deleted waypoint was the firstwaypoint on the route plan, the next waypoint on the route will be selected. Moreover, the Delete button is only enabled with the Select button if there is more than one waypoint on the map.Reclick on Select to clear the functionality.

You can move waypoints on the map by first clicking on Select , then selecting a specific waypointon the map. Click on the Move button, and you will be able to move the selected waypoint on themap. The part of the route attached to the waypoint is moved with the waypoint. With the Reverse button you can reverse the direction of the route plan.




The Add button in the Waypoints view in the side panel is synchronized with the Add waypoint button in the map toolbar. If you click on either button when they are inactive, they will both be

activated, and conversely if you click on either button when active, they will become inactive. Whenyou select either, you are able to place new waypoints in the route plan.

6.30.3.2 Creating and saving route plans from a measurement

In addition to creating a route plan with waypoints, you can create a route plan from ameasurement.

Start Nemo Outdoor, load a measurement file and open a map window. Right-click on the map andselect View Entire Route , or zoom in on the map to make sure the measurement contains GPScoordinates. Create a route plan by clicking the Create Route Plan toolbar icon, or selectRoute Plan | Create from the map popup menu. The route plan should now be visible on the map,the layer list should have a new layer (“Untitled.rpf”), and the control buttons on the Waypoints view should be enabled. The route plan should closely follow the route from which it was created.Save the route plan by clicking the Save Route Plan item in the toolbar, or by selecting it in themap popup menu.

You can also modify the route plan with the Select, Move, Add and Delete buttons at the bottomof the Waypoints view in the side panel. Note that when you click on Select, you may need to zoomin on the map to view the discrete waypoints. The selected waypoint will show as a bigger circleamong all the circles. See chapter Creating and modifying route plans with waypoints for moreinformation on how to use the control buttons, and on how to read the waypoints on the route planduring a measurement.

6.30.3.3 Saving a route plan to a custom window

When you create a route plan and save it, the actual route plan will be saved as a Route Plan File

(.rpf). However, if you have made changes to the default map window and to the layer-specificproperties, and you want to save these changes, you need to save the map window as a customwindow.

9 USER INTERFACE

This section presents the Nemo Outdoor user interface. You will find general descriptions on all thecommands and windows. The functions and dialogs related to the commands are described in detailin the following sections.

The Nemo Outdoor user interface is compatible with common Windows® standards. If you are notfamiliar with these standards, refer to your Microsoft® Windows® Documentation.

9.1 View groups

View Groups is a function that allows you to organize measurement windows into different tabs foreasier viewing. This is especially useful if you have several graphs and maps open at the same timeand you have to overlap them to fit them all in the Nemo Outdoor main window. Now you cancreate view groups and organize the measurement windows into several groups. Each view groupappears at the bottom of the main window as a tab that you can view by clicking the tab.

When you start Nemo Outdoor for the first time, you will have one default view group. To renamethe default view group, right-click on the tab and select Rename .

Enter a name for the view group and click OK .

To create a new view group, right-click on the empty area next to the existing view groups, andselect Create New . Enter a name for the view group and click OK . The new view group appears asanother tab.

To organize measurement windows into the view groups, open a view group, for example, Maps,and open the windows that you would like to have in this particular view group. Then go to anotherview group by clicking on the respective tab, for example, Graphs and open measurement windows

there. The windows are automatically saved in the view groups and will be opened the next timeyou start Nemo Outdoor.




To copy the contents of an existing view group to a new view group, right-click on the view grouplabel and select Copy to New View Group . Type a name for the new view group and select thedevice for which the data is displayed.

If you need to change the device for which the views in a particular view group are displaying data,right-click the view group label and select Select Device . Select the device from the list. All theviews in the view group will be updated to display data from the selected device.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING

This section describes some of the possible problem situations that may occur in Nemo Outdoor.

10.1 Low throughput

In case lower data throughputs are received with Nemo Outdoor compared to third partyapplications, read this chapter for troubleshooting throughput problems with various TCP basedprotocols.

In case low throughput values are monitored with Nemo Outdoor and also with third partyapplications, the issue can most likely be seen by observing link adaptation parameters.

For example, low average CQI and high MAC-HS 3 rd retransmission rate indicate an area of badcoverage or high interference. Low HS-SCCH usage rate (= high HSDPA DTX percentage ratio)points to capacity, server or transmission problems.

In LTE networks, observe physical resource block allocation ( PRB ) and signal to noise ratio ( SNR ).PRB affects throughput directly. Values less than maximum may indicate other users in the cell, abottleneck in the transmission network or not enough data to be sent (application does not need allthe available bandwidth).

Requested throughput much higher than the actual measured throughput may indicate that there

are other users sharing the radio resources of the cell or some other bottleneck in the network thatprevents the mobile from getting the maximum achievable throughput.

High PUSCH TX power values indicate a lack of uplink coverage.

When operating in the dynamic range of link adaptation, average BLER ( PDSCH BLER ) should behigher than 0, typically 10-20%, in order to achieve the gain of HARQ retransmission scheme

Residual BLER after all HARQ retransmissions should be 0%. Higher values indicate that the radiolink is about to drop. Observe the MAC downlink/uplink residual BLER (%) values.

Other things that could help troubleshooting:

• Disable any firewall and/or antivirus software that could reduce the throughput. Some HSPAUSB interfaces may also install their own software which may affect to window size settingsin registry.

• Disable IP capturing from Measurement Properties – Measurement page..

• Try another FTP server for comparison.

• Command prompt FTP throughput. This comparison is recommended because commandprompt FTP does not use any multithreading or other non-standard methods. For betterresults, keep Nemo Outdoor at the background measuring the mobile network while makingthe transfers. Also try different servers.

• For Nemo Outdoor 5.60 and older versions: Run a script with simultaneous FTP transfers tosee if the throughput increases. Does not work manually, script is always needed.




• For Nemo Outdoor 5.70 and later versions: Use the multithread feature of the FTP protocolto test simultaneous transfers. Works also manually.

10.1.1 All Windows versionsHow to check the TCP window size from packet logs:

Using Wireshark:

Check the .pcap file and look at the (non FTP-DATA) TCP traffic in the middle of the transfer.Window size value tells the current TCP window size used.

Using Nemo Outdoor:

1. Open a packet grid window in Nemo Outdoor.

2. Look at the TCP traffic in the middle of an FTP transfer with PayloadLen=0:

3. Double click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows thecurrent value.

Using debug logs (for developers, help desk, etc.):

1. Look for the GetWindowSizeFromRegistry() function.

• TCP Window size set to n = Value found from registry.

• TCP Window size set to default: n = Value not found from registry. Set to default.

• TCP Auto-Tuning detected. Window size not set. = Windows Vista/7 is using auto-tuningTCP window.

2. A measurement file does not save window size info. Packet log and/or debug log is alwaysneeded.




Windows does not use static window sizes from the registry. They rely on dynamic window sizewhich is handled by TCP auto-tuning feature. However, if the same registry value that XP uses isset, Outdoor reads it and adjusts the manual window size based on this value. In most cases, theregistry has been edited by a third party software or a USB mobile interface driver/software. Thisregistry entry can be removed.

If TCP auto-tuning is disabled, Windows will limit the window size to 64 KB even if the value hasbeen configured to be higher from Nemo Outdoor.

How to check TCP auto-tuning state:

1. Open command prompt by typing “ CMD” to ” Search programs and files ” field.

2. Type ”netsh interface tcp show global”

3. Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level shows the current state.

♦ Please note that administrator rights are required to change auto-tuning settings.




10.2 Device Status view

The Device Status view displays the device status.

If a green light is blinking, it means that the device is properly connected to Nemo Outdoor and isfunctioning normally.

If a red light is blinking, it means that the device has been disconnected. Connect the device, right-click on the device in the Devices view and select Reset .

10.3 Cannot add devices

If the Add button is deactivated in the Configuration Manager window when you start NemoOutdoor, your version of Nemo Outdoor is an unlicensed evaluation version. Please, see chapterLicensing for more information.

If the HASP USB key is plugged in and the Add button is deactivated, check that recording is noton. Also, playback should be stopped and playback files closed ( File | Close Measurement ).




10.4 Required license option missing

If the error message below appears, your copy protection dongle is missing a license option. Inother words, the measurement device supports technologies or features that require additionallicense options. For example, if you are measuring with an LTE-A Cat 6 device and you havepurchased the LTE license instead of the LTE-A license, you can use the device with NemoOutdoor/Nemo Invex II but the LTE-A parameters will be missing. Please contact Nemo TechnicalSupport ([email protected]) if you wish to purchase the additional license options.

10.5 Cannot make calls/packet transfers

If the commands are inactive in the Measurement control menu , check that you have devicesonline. The Work offline or online button should be unselected.

10.6 Measurement file checksum notification

Measurement file has a checksum that detects modifications to the measurement file after themeasurement is stopped. The checksum is validated when loading measurement files for playback.The user is notified by the Nemo Outdoor user interface when opening a measurement file wheremodification is detected. However, measurement files are still opened normally. The last line in themeasurement file is HASH events including time stamp and checksum information.

#HASH,14:46:49.262,1,"0360D938749FFE82B15545D3E55B75C0"

Measurement files made with Nemo Outdoor 5.4 or earlier do not include checksum information andthe notification is always prompted when such a file is opened with Nemo Outdoor version 5.50 orlater.

10.7 Number of USB devices exceededWith new laptops an error may occur when six or more USB devices are connected to the laptop.




The current of the USB hub used by the laptop exceeds the max. value per device and the driverblocks additional devices. This applies especially to the USB 3.0 host controllers based on the Intelchipset.

The issue can be fixed by uninstalling the Intel USB 3.0 host controller driver.

♦ Note that especially with Lenovo computers, the driver is automatically installedwith system updates. Automated updates should be disabled.

15 APPENDIX 1

15.1 Making MapInfo ® raster maps

Using raster image files, you can bring paper maps, photographs, and other graphic images intoMapInfo®. You can scan paper maps and then use paper maps as the foundation for the maps youcreate in MapInfo®. After scanning the paper map into a raster image file, you can display it in amap window.

Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze support .TIF, .GIF, and .JPG formats. MapInfo ® can read thefollowing types of raster images:

• filename.TIF

• filename.GIF

• filename.JPG

• filename.PCX

• filename.BMP

• filename.BIL

Color options are:

• Monochrome images: each pixel in a map image can be black or white.

• Gray scale images: each pixel in a gray scale image can be black, white, or a shade of gray.

• Color images: each pixel can be of any color from a palette of available colors. MapInfo®supports 256 colors. When using Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze, we recommend usinggray scale images. By doing this, the measurement route can be discerned better than withcolor map images.

15.1.1 Registering a raster map with MapInfo ® SW

If you want to overlay vector data on top of a raster image, then you must register the raster map

image so that MapInfo®

can position it properly in a Map window. You do this in the ImageRegistration Dialog. You must identify control point coordinates and the projection of the rasterimage map. It is important to provide accurate control point information when registering a rastermap image. Choose control points that can be easily identified and selected, such as streetintersections or use the coordinates (latitude and longitude grid) for the selected point from a papermap.

To register a raster map:

1. Start the MapInfo ® software. Choose File | Open Table and Raster Image File Format .Select your raster map image file (.TIF, .GIF, .JPG) and open it. The Image RegistrationDialog is displayed. A preview of the raster map image appears on the screen.




2. Select the Projection button to specify the projection of the raster image map. If you donot know the right projection, the default value is Longitude/ Latitude.

3. Start adding control points. Click on a location in the preview (raster image map). The AddControl Point Dialog is displayed showing the location of the point in pixels. Add Map X and

Map Y coordinates in decimal formats. For example, to specify the coordinates 65 degrees,30 minutes, enter 65.5 degrees. Use negative numbers when specifying west and southcoordinates. If you want to register a raster map that does not use longitude and latitudecoordinates, specify the appropriate projection in the Image Registration Dialog. Enter yourcoordinates in the native units of the coordinate system. For example, if you are registeringa UTM map image, enter coordinates in meters. Using the MapBasic ® program, you canconvert d/m/s coordinates into decimal degrees format, or the conversion from d/m/s todecimal degrees is as follows: degrees+(minutes/60)+(seconds/3600)=decimaldegrees

4. You must choose at least three control points. Select points that can be easily identified and

selected in the map window.5. After all control points have been defined, click OK in the Image Registration dialog. The

raster map will be displayed in the map window.

6. Move filename.tab and filename.tif/gif/jpg files to the map directory of Nemo Outdoor orNemo Analyze.

7. Open filename.tab in Nemo Outdoor or Nemo Analyze.




D i r e c t o r y number defines a phone number

M I N 1 defines a seven-digit phone number of the terminal

M I N 2 defines a three-digit area code

SP C defines the service programming codeI M S I = IMSI_MCC + IMSI_11_12 + MIN1 + MIN2

On the PRL page you can read and write PRL items. This can be used to load any previously savedPRL’s onto any Qualcomm-based mobile. You can also use this feature to save a PRL from aconnected phone and then use this later to load the same PRL onto a new mobile.

On the DIP Switch page you are able to enable/disable the listed features.




Should you need to manually edit a PRL, you can use the Presto tool which can be downloaded fromCDG.org. The download page can be accessed by searching for “prl” using the search tool on themain page.

Click on the prltools.asp link to get to the downloads page.

From there you can download the toolbar suite and the tutorial for it. Install the suite whenlaunched. This will add a tool bar called “Presto” to MS Excel.

Run the Setup.exe file. Click Install in the dialog that appears.




Click Next in the PRL Toolbar Suite dialog that appears.

Click Next in the Welcome window.

Select I Agree in the License Agreement dialog, and click Next .

Click Next to confirm installation.

Click Close to exit the Installation Finished dialog.

Next, open Presto by going to Start | All Programs | QUALCOMM PRL Toolbar Suite | PRESTO .It should look as follows in Excel:
