Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 XCAL Introduction

XCAL is a real-time software-based solution for wireless network optimization and

performance measurement. XCAL collects Layer 1, 2, and 3 messages, and

TCP/IP packets from both the air and data interface of all commercially available

technologies (CDMA IS95A/B, 1XRTT, EVDO (Rev. 0 and Rev. A), GSM, GPRS,

EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, and HSUPA). XCAL is also proven to significantly reduce

overhead and improve operational efficiency.

XCAL allows several mobiles to interface simultaneously with different technologies

and provides an ideal solution for measuring both voice and data service

performance. XCAL can be used for both indoor and outdoor measurement.

Chapter 4. Port Setting

This chapter describes how to set the configuration of external devices (mobile, GPS

antenna, scanner and others) that are connected to XCAL.

XCAL can handle several mobiles but they must be properly defined. For every mobile used, the

corresponding port needs to be configured using the Port Setting window. Once a mobile ischecked, the configuration boxes for this port are activated. User must set the properties of DM

communication between mobile and XCAL, DUN (dial up network) for data connection test and

TCP/IP for data application test (refer to section 4.1 - 4.6). For GPS antenna, the appropriate

COM port number and data rate needs to be configured (refer to section 4.7). If user wants to

interface scanner, the appropriate configurations for each scanner must be set (refer to section

4.8).

Procedure:

1. To open Port Settingwindow, select Setting Port Settingmenu in the menu bar or

click the icon. Port Setting dialog box is displayed as shown in the following

figure.

2. After setting all the configurations in Port Settingwindow, click the OKbutton.

3. User can check the status of connection between XCAL and external devices in the

status bar of main window (refer to section 3.2 Status Bar).

5.2.11 UDP Call

UDP throughput testing is beneficial because it removes performance enhancements or degradations

resulting from the application when making throughput measurements. XCAL logs and displays delay, jitter,

packet loss rate and UDP throughput.

Using the AutoCall Setup, users may configure uplink or downlink UDP testing sessions.

Procedure:

1. Enter the UDP server address.

2. Choose UP or DOWN for UDP

uplink testing or downlink

testing, respectively.

3. Enter the packet size.

4. Enter the packet interval.

5. Enter the packet count.

6. Enter the packet delay timeout.

Field Description

Server Address The UDP server address.

Unique ID User defined unique identification number of the test mobile.

Direction Direction of test uplink or downlink.

Packet Size The UDP packet size to be transmitted (in bytes).

Packet Interval The time interval between UDP packets (in ms).

Packet Count The number of packets to be transmitted.


56/209



Packet Delay Time out Packets not received within this time period are

considered lost packets.

Estimated Traffic Time Calculated by XCAL and equals the packet interval multiplied

by the packet count.

Estimated Throughput Calculated by XCAL and equals the packet size multiplied by

the packet count and then divided by the estimated traffic time.

Log UDP Payload Option that will save the UDP data into a log file.

To understand the flow of UDP testing, XCAL-X will first perform a connection request to the

UDP server with the Unique ID, packet size and packet interval to server. The server will

respond to the connection request and send the UDP packets according to the configuration in

the connection request. XCAL-X will display the results of the UDP and save the log files.

Once complete, XCAL-X will send a termination request to the server.

UDP uplink and downlink parameters for analysis include:

Inter-arrival Time

Inter-arrival Time Jitter

Inter-arrival Time Difference

Loss Packet

Received Packet

Packet Loss Rate

Throughput, and

One Way Delay downlink only

Once configured, press OK to load the scenario into the Alias List box within AutoCall.

If unknown, the UDP port setting

can be found by opening Skype,

selecting Options within the Tools

menu and then selecting the

Connection setup.

scenario as you would for a standard VoIP call. Note that a specific traffic time is not required for MOS


58/209



calls, but do not leave this field blank. Then choose MOS Calculation in the VoIP tab.

Procedure:

1. Choose type of measurement method to use. Options include Simplex (Downlink/Uplink) or Half

Duplex.

2. Choose the voice algorithm to use from

quality detection settings.

4. Within the File settings section, choose the

Original File, Play File, Play and wait time,

Wave Save Threshold and Save Path.

5. The Manual RX Volume option allows the

user to set the volume level on the phone

remotely from XCAL.

Once it is configured, press OK to load the scenario into the Alias List box within AutoCall.

Field Description

MOS Count for Traffic The number of times to play the wave file to calculate the

MOS per scenario call,

Bad Quality Threshold Sets the bad threshold for a single MOS measurement.

Continuous bad quality conditions can be set so that XCAL will continue to collect data in areas with poor

quality, regardless of the duration of the call set in AutoCall. This allows the user to collect more data in

critical drive test areas. With this option on, if the number of bad quality measurements exceeds the bad

quality count, the measurements will continue until the user terminates the call. To use this option, check

Continuous call in CBQ and configure the thresholds.


59/209



Field Description

Continuous B.Q. Threshold Results in a bad quality count of one each time the MOS

measurement is below this threshold. The count will increment

for each consecutive bad quality measurement.

Bad Quality Threshold If the consecutive bad quality counts exceed this value, the call

duration will change to continuous and remain connected until

dropped by the network or terminated by the user.

Field Description

Original File The reference file that XCAL will use to make the downlink

measurements,

Play File The file for XCAL to play for uplink measurements.

Play and wait time (ms) The period of time before MOS measurements will be made

after a connection is made.

Wave Save Threshold Used to discard data for any calls with a score above this

defined MOS value.

Save Path The location where wave files will be saved for later reference.
