1 Introduction Pilot Pioneer is DingLi's multi-technology laptop-based radio access network's test and

measurement tool. It is an integrated all-purpose product that can be used for indoor measurement

and in-vehicle outdoor drive testing. Various services tests can be conducted with a wide range of

the latest supported commercial test terminals. Pilot Pioneer test and measurement capability is

applicable throughout the network development lifecycle, therefore allowing network and service

provider to fully leverage on their investment. The collected data reflects subscriber's perceptions

and experience, enabling network operators to fine tune the network to maximize subscriber's

satisfaction.

Pilot Pioneer V10.1 introduces the following new functions and features:

• VoLTE test with Samsung and iPhone

• Carrier Aggregation test

• Single site verification

• Private server for HTTP Upload test

• Huawei mLAB vMOS test

• Drag parameters under Message Details to Table

2 New Features and Devices

2.1 New Features

2.1.1 DCF Data Format

DCF data format is capable of higher storage performance and flexible scalability. It is also

gradually integrated with the rest of Dingli product portfolio as a standard unified data format.

2.1.2 New Supported Terminals for VoLTE Test

In addition to Nubia, HTC and Huawei, VoLTE test is also supported by Samsung S7 and iPhone 6s

in this version. During a VoLTE test, the SIP messages may be decoded and the POLQA based MOS

value can be displayed. The Samsung S7 also supports ViLTE test and generates corresponding

statistics reports for VoLTE test and ViLTE test.

Note: For more supported terminals information, please refer to Dingli’s Offered Devices

document.

2.1.3 Carrier Aggregation Test

Multiple FDD-LTE/TDD-LTE CA modes, downlink 3CC, uplink 2CC, Qualcomm and Hisilicon

chipset-based CA test are supported in this version.

The following measurement information and events can be displayed in real-time:

• CA measurement, network resource allocation, network quality, data rate, etc.

• Key events, such as secondary component carrier (CC) modification, CA handover, and

secondary CC activation.

Customized CA statistics reports are also supported in this version.

Supported CA terminals are: Samsung S7 G9300/9308 (compatible with FDD-LTE and TCC-LTE

CA)

2.1.4 Single Site Verification

A Single Site Verification test with CS and PS call can be done on a newly commission site (or

eNodeB) to verify its initial coverage and performance. The verification is a three stage process that

includes test, statistics and analysis, and report generation, to complete the single site verification.

2.1.5 High-speed Rail Test with GPS Trajectory

Compensation*

With the rapid development of rail transport, railway mobile network test is becoming more critical.

Traditional mobile network test and measurement devices however is unable to solve the problem

of poor or blocked GIS positioning in the high-speed rail or subway, which therefore impedes the

mobile network coverage and quality optimization effort. Pilot Pioneer V10.1 supports high-speed

rail test which compensates test routes with GPS signal lost in real time.

*Note: Unique to China market only, customers who want to have the access to this function may

contact Dingli.

2.1.6 Private Server for HTTP Upload Test

The previous HTTP Upload service test is mainly conducted with YouTube, but the requirement of

privacy by YouTube has become increasingly high. The HTTP Upload service is therefore no longer

tested with YouTube, as the website protocol is frequently changed. Dingli however has developed

the private server for HTTP Upload test.

2.1.7 Huawei mLAB vMOS Test

Dingli cooperates with Huawei MBB to develop the Huawei vMOS technology. Pilot Pioneer v10.1

has the privilege to introduce and support Huawei Mobile vMOS, which evaluates video quality

with vMOS score. The vMOS video experience evaluation (e.g. vMOS scores) is designed to take

into consideration the video source quality, start loading time, stalling ratio, and video play duration.

2.1.8 USB Test Box with Integrated Test Module

The USB test box with an integrated test module can be used and connected as one of Pilot Pioneer

test devices. Features such as "set test band as required by users " and "configure CA 2CC as

required by users" enable the USB test box to be used for the initial verification of newly deployed

network. In addition, the USB test box also supports VoLTE test, network locking, band locking

and cell locking and provides more test functionalities for the single site acceptance upon connection

with Pilot Pioneer.

2.1.9 Drag Parameters from Message Details to Table

For those parameters which are not listed in the Table, users may drag the parameters from Message

Details to Table to conveniently view any measurement updates.

2.1.10 Templates Import/Export

Pilot Pioneer supports templates import/export function. The templates that can be

imported/exported include: report templates, analysis templates, filter templates and parameters

templates. It is convenient for sharing templates between multiple Pilot Pioneer Expert users, or

between different versions of Pilot Pioneer Expert, and it is easy to import user-defined templates

to the updated version or to different computers.

2.1.11 Hard Dongle License Query

Pilot Pionner V10.1 supports Hard Dongle License Query and Online Upgrade. Hard Dongle Serial

Number, Expiration Date, Granted Permissions and Online Upgrade are displayed in the Hard

Dongle License Query window.

2.1.12 Online Software Update

Pilot Pioneer supports online update, which enables customers to update software in a convenient

way. Users may update the patches with designated version of Pilot Pioneer in an intelligent way or

install a new software version.

when the parameter group under the Parameter Settings is modified in the previous version.

• Some event names in the Event window cannot be unified with the names under the Event

Details in the previous version.

• The data cannot be transferred based on "unit" and "data type (decimal, hexadecimal, etc.)" in

the Parameters Search under the Table
