Chapter 1. Introduction

1. Introduction

Welcome to TEMS Pocket.

TEMS Pocket is a handheld tool for verification, maintenance, and trouble-shooting of mobile networks as well as for basic cell planning tasks. Built into a commercial mobile phone or tablet, TEMS Pocket collects measurements and events and presents them on the device display. The measurements can be stored for later analysis in other products such as TEMS Discovery Device and TEMS Investigation.

The combination of small size and powerful testing features makes TEMS Pocket a convenient tool for day-to-day monitoring of mobile networks, particularly in an indoor or pedestrian scenario. In addition, since the mobile device can function as the users regular phone, TEMS Pocket provides a powerful way to find errors without explicitly searching for them.

TEMS Pocket is designed as an integral part of the devices user interface. This promotes continuous use by engineers and technicians, which translates into more time for them to detect, document, and solve problems.

This feature allows an FTP server to be used as a central repository for TEMS Pocket settings (including custom data views) as well as for auxiliary data: scripts, map sets, and cell files.

TEMS Pocket devices can connect to this FTP server and download all contents currently available. This provides an easy way to ensure that all TEMS Pocket users always have up-to-date configuration data installed on their devices.

2.2.7. GPS Synchronization of Controller and AgentsIn a TEMS Pocket multi-device setup, the controller can share its GPS signal (taken from the devices built-in GPS or from an external Bluetooth GPS) with all agents, overriding agents GPS data.

The point of doing that is to ensure that all devices are assigned the exact same positions in logfiles, and also to circumvent any possible issues with GPS reception inside the backpack holding the agents.

2.2.8. User-definable Device Equipment IDsThis was another usability improvement for the multi-device configuration. Each TEMS Pocket device, as well as a connected external scanner, can be assigned a unique equipment ID of the form EQn in logfiles. Such tagging serves to tell devices apart when post-processing TEMS Pocket logfiles in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Discovery Device.

2.2.9. LTE Rank Indication FeedbackThe LTE Data view in TEMS Pocket already showed actual LTE rank indication for transmissions on the PDSCH, reflecting the number of transmission layers used. New in version 14.3 was the presentation of the UEs feedback on the rank indication, advising the network on what value it finds most suitable. This feedback is sent on the PUSCH or PUCCH.

2.2.10. LTE Cell TX Antenna BalancingA new LTE data view eNB TX Antenna Difference was provided, indicating the difference in transmit power between the TX antennas of an eNodeB. These measurements can be used to determine in real time if a newly deployed site has a problem with one of the TX antennas, for example:

Feeders mistakenly swapped with another sector.

Problem with one of the x-polarization branches.

Feeder connector inadequately fastened (wrong torque applied?).

Compared to traditional methods of diagnosis, this feature can reduce troubleshooting turnaround time by several days.

In the case of carrier aggregation, the TX antenna difference is plotted for each carrier separately.

2.2.11. AICH Status Added to WCDMA RACH ViewThe AICH status parameter, indicating if and how transmitted RACH preambles are acknowledged, was added to the WCDMA RACH Analysis data view.

2.2.12. Individual Value Elements Selectable in Map Views

As an alternative to the RAT-independent value element families, a mechanism was added for selecting an individual value element for display in the indoor and outdoor map views.

2.2.13. Data Collection for iBwave Mobile PlannerFrom version 16.3 onward, TEMS Pocket can be harnessed as a data-collecting tool by iBwave Mobile Planner, an in-building network planning application. Mobile Planner can initiate a pinpointing session in TEMS Pocket, and in the process selected RF data (a subset of regular TEMS Pocket logfiles) is logged and reported back to Mobile Planner.


2.3.1. New Device: Sony Xperia Z2 D6503The Xperia Z2 from Sony is the new premier TEMS Pocket device, the successor to both LT25i and LT30a. It is an LTE Category 4 phone spanning a generous set of E-UTRA bands.

2.3.5. PCTel SeeGull IBflex for In-building ScanningTEMS Pocket 14.2 was the first TEMS Pocket release with PCTel SeeGull scanner connectivity. The model supported is the IBflex scanner, which is specifically designed to ease and speed up indoor walkaround testing, being small and lightweight and equipped with a hot swap battery system. It is therefore an ideal scanning device to deploy in tandem with TEMS Pocket.

The IBflex scans all major cellular technologies; in TEMS Pocket 14.2 the following scanning methods are supported:

LTE signal scan

WCDMA CPICH scan

CDMA PN scan, EV-DO PN scan

RSSI scan on all the above technologies

The 14.2 release supported collection of IBflex scan data and recording it in logfiles. Scan data presentation in the TEMS Pocket user interface was added in version 14.3; see section 2.2.4.

2.3.6. New Mechanism for Controlling Data Session Length

Data service testing may be done in burst mode, where data transfer rates are simply measured for periods of predetermined length, without the requirement of completing any particular task. When calculating KPIs in such a scenario, we obviously do not want to trigger a failure just because the allotted transfer time expired. A new action setting End session after was therefore added in TEMS Pocket 14.2 alongside the existing Maximum duration:

The End session after setting relates strictly to the data transfer. When this time expires, the action ends with success.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 13


The Maximum duration setting relates to the action as a whole (including preguard and session setup). If this duration expires, the action ends and counts as a failure. Note that this behavior is not configurable, unlike the situation in preceding releases.

Both of these timers are optional. End session after is available in FTP, HTTP, and streaming actions.

2.3.7. Other New Features Support was introduced for TEMS Pocket Lite on Wi-Fi only devices.

This can be useful for running a controller on a separate low-cost tablet or when testing on Wi-Fi is the objective.

The controller/agent configuration was expanded to accommodate up to seven agents.

2.3.8. Withdrawal of Sony Xperia LT25i, LT30aBeing replaced by the new Z2 D6503 phone, the older Xperia models LT25i and LT30a were withdrawn as supplied TEMS Pocket devices. However, the LT25i with external antenna was still available for purchase in TEMS Pocket 14.2 (and remains so in TEMS Pocket 14.4). Previously sold LT30a units can be upgraded to TEMS Pocket 14.4, and the LT30a is therefore kept in the present manual.


2.4.1. WCDMA Scanning with DRT4311B ScannerScanning with an external DRT4311B scanner was extended to WCDMA in this release. CPICH pilot scans can be performed either manually or governed by a script. The measurements are presented in newly created WCDMA scan data views.

The strengths of this solution remain the same as for the existing LTE scanning:

Handled by a separate device, the scanning is independent of other TEMS Pocket activities and can run in parallel with these.

14


The scanner is lightweight with low power consumption, thus excellently portable and resource-efficient and ideally suited for in-building measurement.

The scanner can be stowed in the Small Backpack, connected via USB to a TEMS Pocket phone which in turn communicates via Bluetooth with a TEMS Pocket Controller device.

2.4.2. New Action for Logfile Recording Start/StopPrior to the 14.1 release, whether or not to record the execution of a script in logfiles was a property set for the script as a whole. In TEMS Pocket 14.1 this property was removed, and instead it became possible to turn logfile recording on and off at any point in a script. This is done with a Logfile Recording action, which can also affix user-defined tags to logfiles for purposes of categorization.

The reworked handling allows recording of multiple actions, or even an entire script execution, in the same logfile.

As a convenient means to preserve the old TEMS Pocket behavior if desired, an option was added to the general script settings which automatically encloses each measurement action within Logfile Recording start and Logfile Recording stop actions.

2.4.3. Custom Logfile NamingA more elaborate logfile naming scheme was introduced as an option for indoor pinpointing. You can predefine a set of logfile prefixes, and then pick one of these at recording time for use in logfile names. You can also add further elements to the logfile name: a string representing yourself as user, and the GUID contained in the indoor map set.


2.5.1. New Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9506This phone is similar to S4 GT-I9505 (which remains as a supported TEMS Pocket device) but is in a higher LTE category (4) with a maximum downlink throughput of 150 Mbit/s.

2.5.4. Presentation of SIP MessagesAs an aid to VoLTE call analysis, a new data view was provided listing SIP messages. It is similar in layout to the existing Layer 3 message view and lets you view full plain-text decoding of these messages, with highlighting of syntax elements to ease reading.

You can freeze the view to scroll through and study the SIP message flow at your leisure.

2.5.5. New License Handling: Global License ServerThe Global License Server (GLS) solution for license management, previously in place for TEMS Investigation and TEMS Discovery Device, was adopted for TEMS Pocket as well.

As a TEMS Pocket customer, you will mainly use GLS to manage license options purchased at additional cost (POLQA, SSL, etc.). The fundamental TEMS Pocket licenses are preinstalled on the device. To install your premium license options, you log in to GLS through a Web interface and map the appropriate add-ons to your device.

GLS gives you a birds-eye view of where all licenses in your pool of purchased items are allocated. Further, it allows you to easily and securely move licenses from one device to another to optimize their utilization.

A couple of aspects of the licensing as such also changed in TEMS Pocket 14.0:

Indoor testing no longer requires a separate license option; it is included in the Professional and Premium packages.

The Controller option is no longer included in the Professional package but is optional there. On the other hand, the Controller add-on can be transferred between devices in GLS, as described above.

2.5.6. LTE EARFCN/PCI Lock Control FunctionThis function locks the Samsung S4 GT-I9506 to one Physical layer Cell Identity on one LTE EARFCN. It is implemented in the TEMS Capability Control app used in conjunction with TEMS Pocket. The function needs to be

18


combined with a RAT lock to LTE in order to take effect. On the other hand, no reboot of the device is required.

2.5.7. WCDMA UARFCN Lock and Disable Handover Control Functions

These functions too are enhancements of the Samsung S4 GT-I9506 control capabilities. Activated from the TEMS Capability Control app, the first function locks the phone to a specified WCDMA UARFCN, while the second disables all kinds of handover in a WCDMA network (thus in effect keeping the phone locked to the scrambling code it is using). No RAT lock or device reboot is needed for either function.

2.5.8. Refined Call Event Handling; CS Fallback EventsThe generation of voice call events was thoroughly reworked and streamlined, with trigger conditions brought into the closest possible agreement with TEMS Investigation.

In the process, new predefined events were set up for circuit-switched fallback transferring VoLTE calls away from LTE, whether to WCDMA/GSM or to CDMA.

2.5.9. Improved Data View NavigationThe top-level screen with shortcuts to data view categories was replaced by a drawer-style navigation menu accessed from a new button on the action bar. When opened, the navigation menu pushes the data view to the right; after you make a selection, the menu is hidden again and the data view slides back into place.

Another navigation change is that vertical swiping between data view categories was disabled. To select a different data view category, you simply pick it from the navigation menu. A key reason for this change is to allow making individual views scrollable so that they can hold more contents (in future versions of TEMS Pocket).

On tablets, where screen real estate is not such a major concern, the existing design with permanently visible navigation icons on the left was retained. This was however changed in TEMS Pocket 14.3.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 19


2.5.10. Withdrawal of Subset of TEMS Pocket 13.x Devices

The new Samsung S4 and Note 3 phones replaced all of the following older TEMS Pocket devices:

Samsung Galaxy Note II SCH-I605, SGH-I317

Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9305, SCH-R530M, SGH-I747, SPH-L710

HTC One XL X325S

LG Lucid 2 VS870 (succeeded by other devices as VoLTE-capable device)


2.6.1. Multi-device TEMS Pocket: Controller/AgentsWith TEMS Pocket 13.3 we launched a multi-device measurement setup where one controller device (preferably a tablet) controls the actions of a set of agent devices. A tailor-made backpack solution has been designed for carrying the agents up to seven of these, optionally including a DRT scanner. The communication between controller and agents takes place over Bluetooth.

The point of this setup is to let you operate a whole battery of TEMS Pocket devices through a single interface. On the controller device you can start and stop scripts on the agents, and monitor the progress and status of each agent. You can position measurement data for all agents at once by pinpointing in the controller Indoor Map view.

2.6.2. YouTube TestingYou can test download and replay of YouTube video clips in TEMS Pocket. from version 13.3 onward. A freshly created action manages this task, presenting the footage in a special free-floating view nailed to the foreground.

A host of value elements report on the performance of the HTTP streaming, and a specially designed progress view keeps you updated on the unfolding of the YouTube session.

20


2.6.3. LTE RACH Analysis Data ViewA data view was added displaying parameters and data related to RACH signaling and paging in LTE. It is similar to existing RACH views for WCDMA and GSM and indicates, among other things:

Reason for RACH signaling, type of RACH procedure.

Preamble settings such as initial Tx Power, power ramping step size, and maximum number of preambles; during preamble transmission, Tx Power for current preamble.

Outcome of RACH procedure.

2.6.4. Customizable Logfile Storage LocationIf a device has multiple storage media available, for example, if it has an external memory card inserted in addition to its built-in memory, you can select where to store TEMS Pocket logfiles.

2.6.5. Caching of Cell IdentitiesCell identities are reported rather infrequently from the network, and only for serving cells. A cell caching function added in TEMS Pocket 13.3 makes the presentation of cell identities more comprehensive by storing all cells that the device comes across, so that when the same cell reappears later on, its identity can be displayed immediately. This function operates in both LTE, WCDMA, and GSM networks.

2.6.6. Selective Wi-Fi ScanningWi-Fi scanning consumes considerable resources and will detract noticeably from the performance of Wi-Fi data transfer if performed continually. TEMS Pocket 13.3 therefore introduced a function which allows you to turn off TEMS Pocket-induced Wi-Fi scanning while data is being transferred over a Wi-Fi connection.

2.6.7. Customizable Value Element Display FormatsThe presentation of value elements such as cell identities and LAC/RAC/TAC can be switched between decimal and hexadecimal. In some cases,

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 21


additional and data-specific presentation formats are available, such as LTE PCI split into Group ID and Phy ID.

2.6.8. Dynamic Naming of Files Uploaded via FTPWhen testing FTP upload, you can have each transferred file named dynamically and uniquely instead of using an unchanging static name. Dynamic file names are composed of the current date and time concatenated with the device serial number.

2.6.9. SIM-free/Flight Mode Start-up of TEMS PocketIt is possible to start TEMS Pocket 13.3 without a SIM being present, or while the device is in flight mode. This allows you to record a logfile with the initial attach procedure that occurs when disabling flight mode and going into normal mode of operation.

3. Product Packages and Licensing

3.1. TEMS Pocket 14.4 Product PackagesTEMS Pocket 14.4 is available in a variety of packages:

The Professional package encompasses the full set of product features, and it is the package covered in this Users Manual.

The Standard package does not include logfile recording or indoor pinpointing, nor can it be combined with the scanning options. In other respects, the Standard package is identical with Professional.

The Remote package converts TEMS Pocket into an autonomous probe, which is controlled by the Fleet Manager. See chapter 23.

The Premium package consists of the Professional and Remote packages combined into one.

3.2. TEMS Pocket LiteTEMS Pocket also exists in a variety called TEMS Pocket Lite. TEMS Pocket Lite differs from the regular TEMS Pocket in that it collects less detailed measurements: specifically, basic RF and data measurements available from the smartphone operating system (Android). On the other hand, TEMS Pocket Lite can be installed on any Ascom-approved and tested Android device.

TEMS Pocket Lite is covered in a separate Users Manual; please refer to this document for further information on TEMS Pocket Lite.

3.3. Multi-device TEMS PocketSeveral TEMS Pocket devices can interact in a multi-device configuration where a controller device remote-controls the actions of a set of agents.

Chapter 3. Product Packages and Licensing

How to set up and operate a multi-device configuration is covered in chapter 24.

3.4. License Options in TEMS PocketA number of functions in TEMS Pocket require special license options to be enabled in the application. These are purchased separately.

If you have purchased one or more of the license options listed in section 3.4.1, you need to activate them on your TEMS Pocket device. How to go about this is the topic of section 3.4.2.

If you have not purchased any of these license options, no action is needed, and you can skip this section. Licenses for the various TEMS Pocket product packages (see section 3.1) are pre-installed on the device as ordered, and do not require activation by the user.

3.4.1. List of License OptionsSpecial license options are required for the following TEMS Pocket functions:

Testing using a secure connection through SSL. The SSL license option is under embargo restrictions and can only be sold to certain countries.

Scanning of mobile networks using an external scanner. Separate options are provided for:

DRT scanner

PCTel scanner.

Multi-device configuration with controller and agents. More specifically, it is the controller device that requires the license option.

Audio quality measurement (AQM) with POLQA. The following applies:

In the one-way mobile-to-mobile AQM setup (section 14.2.3), the calling TEMS Pocket device must have a POLQA license, but no license is required for the receiving device. However, if you want the devices to be able to switch roles, so that either device can originate the calls, then both devices must have a POLQA license.

In the two-way mobile-to-mobile AQM setup (section 14.2.4), both devices must have a POLQA license.

In the mobile-to-fixed AQM setup (section 14.2.5), the TEMS Pocket device must have a POLQA license, and the CallGenerator must have a POLQA and CS voice license.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 25


3.4.2. Procedure for Activating Licenses Start the TEMS License app on the phone.

Look up the Host id in this app:

You now need to log in to Ascoms GLS web interface. It is preferable to do this on a PC. Ascom will have sent a welcome email to the person in your organization named as email contact, containing a link to this web page. We are assuming for now that you are going to activate the licenses yourself (alternatively, it might be done for you by the GLS admin in your organization).

Click the link provided in the welcome email. It will take you to a login page.

Click the Password Finder link at the bottom of the page.

Enter your email address and press Submit.

You will now receive another email. In that email, click the text that reads this link.

Enter your email address and password as instructed on the web page. Note that the email address must be entered in lowercase.

You are taken to a page titled Download Central Home.

On this web page, in the navigation column under Device Management, click Search Devices.

26


In the list of devices, find the device ID that represents your TEMS Pocket device by entering the Host id from the TEMS License app in the Device ID search field. It is usually sufficient to enter the last few digits of the string, preceded by a wild card, like this: *1234. Click the device ID link once you have located it.

At the bottom of the View Device screen, all license options (add-ons) that are pre-installed by Ascom on your device are listed.

To activate the special license options on your device, you need to map the corresponding add-ons to it. Click the Map Add-Ons link beneath the list of installed options.

The Map Add-Ons screen appears, displaying an overview of the pool of TEMS Pocket add-ons at your organizations disposal. However, only add-ons that are applicable to the selected device are listed. For reasons of space, only selected columns of the table are shown below.

The Available Units in Line Item column shows the number of licenses currently available, out of the total purchased, which is given in the Total Units in Line Item column.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 27


The Maximum Add-On Units Allowed on Device column tells how many license options of a given type can be activated simultaneously on the same device. This number is one for all TEMS Pocket add-ons.

What you need to do here is to map the add-ons you have purchased.

For each add-on, enter a 1 in the Units to Configure column. Then click the Map Add-Ons button. The status of each add-on changes to License not generated.

When you are done mapping add-ons, return to the TEMS License app and tap the Update licenses item there.

The status of the add-ons in the GLS web interface will now change to License generated, and the TEMS License app will display all the licenses that are now installed on the device.

You are now ready to start using TEMS Pocket with all features you have a license for.

3.4.2.1. Alternative Activation ProcedureThere is an alternative way to activate special license options.

In the GLS web interface, on the Map Add-Ons screen, the Activation Code column holds an alphanumeric string for each add-on:

You can activate a license option by noting down this code, entering it in the TEMS License app under Enter activation code, and then tapping Update licenses. This may be useful if on some occasion you need to activate a license option when unable to access the GLS web interface.
