Configuring UARFCN Preference

This feature is available on all HTC devices. You can use this feature to set a preferred UARFCN on the phone. To configure UARFCN Preference:1 Run RANAdvisor Handheld.2 Tap Settings from the Home screen.3 From the Settings screen, tap UARFCN Preference.4 Tap UARFCN to enter a preferred value.5 Click OK.



You must power cycle the phone for the frequency preference to take effect. If the UARFCN is available when the phone powers on, it will be chosen as the frequency to use. If it is not available or if coverage is poor, the phone will perform a normal search and choose the best frequency available.

Configuring Frequency Forcing

The Frequency Forcing feature allows you to lock a commercial Qualcomm Chipset device to a desired channel. In UMTS, this ensures that the device only uses the specified UARFCN for service. If the UARFCN is not available, the device will go out of service and remain in that condition until the specified UARFCN is available after which the normal service will be re-established on the specified UARFCN. In LTE, this ensures the device only camps onto the preferred EARFCN on power up but it may move to other available EARFCNs within the same band, only if the criteria for handover are fulfilled. In order to configure the device to use this locking functionality, the steps described below are required before data collection is started. A power cycle of the device is mandatory to set the locking mode and must be performed each time the channel is locked or unlocked.

Configuring Cellsite Data

This feature shows serving and active cells for different technologies by configuring the cellsite database in the device. If any cell matches with primary and secondary key defined in the cellsite database, then the cell name is updated in the portrait mode and a line is drawn from current location to a serving cell or one of the active cells in Outdoor/Indoor map.

To configure cellsite database, go to Settings > Cellsite Data, enable the technology you want to activate and select the cellsite database XML file from the SD card. Ensure that you have put the cellsite database XML file in FTA > Cellsite Database folder in the SD card. You can create a cellsite database XML file using the Cellsite Importer utility in the E6474A application or you can create your own cellsite database XML file in the following format as shown below.

After configuring the XML file, you can define the Cellsite Range unit as Km or miles and specify the maximum valid distance range when looking for the serving cell. The application looks for only those cells which fall within the range and if there is more than one cell with the same primary and secondary key, then the first cell which is closest to the current location is reported.





After configuring the cellsite database, go to Indoor or Outdoor map to view the serving and active cells.

Note: You must ensure that you use the same cellsite database for recording and replay.

Configuring Sequencer TestsYou can configure the following tests using Test Sequencer. To access these tests, see “Working with the Test Sequencer" on page 24.

Voice Quality Test This test can be enabled by using a POLQA Voice MOS Measurement license. For information on how to update the license, see “Updating the License" on page 45. The test is currently supported only on Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-i9305. Before executing the test, the devices must be rooted and configured to a cellular network. For information on how to root the device, see “Rooting Android devices" on page 62.

The test works in two modes: Caller and Answerer. Both the caller and answerer settings should be same before executing this test. During execution, the caller makes a call to the answerer and the answerer replies back by adding a reference file to the audio channel. The caller then records this voice. After the caller has added the reference file, a comparison is



performed on the caller side between the original sample and recorded sample to come up with POLQA measurements. All the measurements are shown in the status history screen. The Voice Quality Test also supports calling to the JDSU Voice Quality Office unit (B9990A-440) to make Downlink voice quality measurements.

Note: You cannot add Voice Quality Tests in parallel, or add it in Parallel with a standard Voice Test.

You can configure the following properties:• Voice Quality Test - Select this option to enable the Voice Quality test.• Test Name - Enter a test name to identify the test.• Mode - Select the mode as Answerer or Caller.• Reference File - Select a reference speech file. Both the answerer and caller should have

same reference file for the accurate POLQA measurements.• POLQA Measurements - Select this option if you want to view the measurement results.

You have to make the device POLQA enabled by getting license from the vendor for viewing the measurement results.

• AutoLine Align Result - Select On to align the power level of both reference audio and recorded audio at the same level. The default value is On.

• Incoming Call Number - Enter the incoming call number. This property is not editable if the Mode is set to Caller.

• Cycles - Enter the number of times to repeat the test.

Auto Send Test This test uploads the AHD files from the phone to the configured HTTPS or FTP server. When the Test Sequencer encounters an AutoSend test, it uploads the recorded data from the start or from the point when the last AutoSend test was encountered. The recording will continue thereafter. The fragmented AHD files are created separately from main AHD file. For example, if there are five auto send tests configured in the test sequence, then six fragmented files will be created. The last fragmented file will contain summary information of all the tests. The last fragmented file and the complete AHD file will be uploaded upon completion of the whole recording.

The fragmented files are uploaded in the following directory:• On the FTP Server: <configured directory>/<IMSI>/Timestamp_<Recording Start

TimeStamp>/<ADH file name>_<Fragment ID>.AHD• On the HTTPS server: <root>/<ADH file name>_< Fragment ID >.AHD• On the SD Card: /<Save Location>/ToBeUploaded/>/<AHD file name>_<Fragment

CSFB Test The Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) test is used to validate that while on an LTE data session, an attempt to make a Voice call will 'Fall Back' to 3G to make the Voice call.

The test starts with an HTTP transfer to initiate a data session. If the session is successful and the sessions are over LTE, then a Voice call is initiated. The test passes only if the data transfer works and it is over LTE and the Voice call works. The setup time of the CSFB call is measured during this test. CSFB inter cycle delay default time is set to 45 seconds. This is the minimum time required to ensure the phone moves back to LTE.

You must extend this time if there are subsequent test failures due to no LTE data transfer.

When CSFB test is enabled, no other test will be executed. This test is applicable only for LTE Devices. To use this test, you must enable CSFB through settings.• CSFB - Select this option to enable the test.• Test Name - Enter a test name to identify the test.



• Cycles - Enter the number of times to perform the test.The default value is 10.• Inter Cycle Delay (sec) - Enter the delay between two cycles.The default value is 45

EVDOCH This test is available only for CDMA/EVDO devices.

EVDOCH checks the current EVDO channel and compares it with the desired channel. If they are the same, the test exits with a PASS. If not, the phone’s radio is turned off and back on to cause the phone to re-attach to the EVDO network, and the channel is again compared with the desired channel. The hashing algorithm has a random chance to allocate any of the available EVDO channels each time the network is accessed. This process is repeated until they match or the maximum number of tries have been carried out.

Configure the following properties: • Desired Channel - Enter the channel number to test.• Times to try - Enter the number of times to search the desired channel number.

Trace Route Test This test runs a trace route on a data connection. This diagnosticutility determines the route taken to a destination by sending Internet Control MessageProtocol (ICMP) echo packets with varying Time-To-Live (TTL) values to the destination. Eachrouter along the path is required to decrement the TTL on a packet by at least 1 beforeforwarding it, so the TTL is effectively a hop count.

When the TTL on a packet reaches zero, the router is supposed to send back an ICMP TimeExceeded message to the source system. Trace route determines the route by sending thefirst echo packet with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequenttransmission until the target responds or the maximum TTL is reached.

The route is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent back byintermediate routers. Notice that some routers silently drop packets with expired time-to-live(TTLs) and will be invisible to trace route.

The default time out for a trace route action is 1000 milliseconds.



• TRACERT Host Type - Select the host type as DNS or IP. If you select the host type as DNS, you must enter the host name in the below field. If you select host type as IP, you must enter the IP address in the below field.

• TRACERT Host Name - Enter the destination address which can be either a host name or the IP address to trace the route.

• TRACERT Mode Type - Tap to select mode type as Normal or Change. If you select mode type as Normal, the test runs one cycle. If you select mode type as Change, the test will detect if there is any change in the IP route compared to the base line. You must first add TRACERT test as Normal mode before you can add TRACERT test as Change mode. The change mode detects the change in the route. If there is change in the route, the test is failed else it is passed.

• Timeout (ms) - Set the time out in milli seconds after which the test will stop.• Max No. of Hops - Set the maximum number of hops that you would like to limit the trace

route to.

SMS test The application tests whether the device can send SMS to itself.

The test waits for a pre-defined time to receive the SMS. When the SMS is received, the test verifies the contents. The test passes if it receives the correct SMS before the time out period. The test fails if it does not receive the SMS or the contents are not correct or any error occurs. You can add two SMS test in series but you cannot add two SMS test in parallel. • Enter Your Phone number - Enter the phone number of the device being tested. On some

phones, the number will be automatically displayed.• Cycles - Set the number of times you want the device to send the SMS to itself. Min: 1 and

seconds.

Mobile Terminated Call Test Mobile Terminated is used to test the incoming voice calls. The test waits for the incoming calls and auto answers them. The test passes if the expected number of calls are received within the time out period. The test will disconnect all the calls if it receives more than one call at the same time and will be marked as failed. To accept only the desired incoming numbers, you must configure the setting. If you enter the number as 6393, then all the incoming calls that has this sequence at the end e.g. 82086393, 98766393 will be accepted, the rest that does not contain this sequence, e.g. 63938756, will be rejected.

iPerf Test The iPERF test is a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance.

iPERF can create TCP and UDP data streams and measure the throughput of the network that is carrying them. iPERF allows tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. iPERF reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss. iPERF test has both client and server components and can measure the throughput between the client and server, either unidirectional or bidirectionally. When used for testing UDP capacity, iPERF allows setting of the datagram size and provides results for the datagram throughput and the packet loss. When used for testing TCP capacity, iPERF measures the throughput of the payload.

In a typical iPERF test, there is a server iPERF and a client iPERF. The server iPERF must be started before the client iPERF, else the test will fail.

Follow the below steps to configure iPERF server:1 Download the iPERF precompiled binary file from the link: http://iperf.fr/2 Open the command prompt and go to the directory where the binary is located.



3 For configuring the server in TCP mode, execute following command:a To run on default port 5001, type iperf -sb To run on specific port, type iperf -s -p port_number

4 For configuring the Server in UDP mode, execute the following command:a To run on default port 5001, type iperf -s -ub To run on specific port, type iperf -s -u -p port_number

You can find the iPERF client binary file version 2.0.4 in the device SD card > FTA > iperf directory. You must also use the same iPERF version on the server. The properties of the iPERF test allow you to configure parameters for the mobile side of the iPERF test.• IPERF - Select to enable the test. By default, the test is enabled.• Test Name - Enter the test name to identify the test.• Server Address - Specify the server address.• Server Port - Specify the port number upon which the server is listening.• Test Mode - Select the test mode as TCP or UDP.• Direction - The direction is set to Uplink by default and cannot be changed if you have

After enabling the Bluetooth, perform the following steps to configure the Tablet as a Master device:1 Run RANAdvisor Handheld. 2 From the application Home screen, go to Settings > General.3 Select Local Bluetooth Control from the Automation Control Mode.4 Select Master from the Master Slave Mode.5 Select Paired Devices, select the slave devices you want to pair and click OK. To pair

more devices, select Pair More button. This displays the Bluetooth settings screen. You can select the devices to pair with the master device.Note: You must name each device with a unique name to identify the device.

Both the master and slave devices should be charged sufficiently (around more than 15%) since Bluetooth may not work on low charge. Check the Bluetooth pair screen for name of paired devices. The master name should be present on the slave device and the slave name should be present on the master device. If any slave device name is not present in the master device, you need to pair them again. After configuring the master and slave devices, when you start recording on the master device, the message will be communicated to all the slave devices to start recording. When you stop recording, a message will be communicated to all slave devices to stop recording. When you navigate using an Indoor map on the master device by using I am here positions or a Waypoint file, those locations will be communicated to the slave devices to synchronize position logging. The navigation locations will be seen both during recording and when you play back on the slave device.

Configuring the Indoor Map

See “Configuring the Indoor Map” on page 16. While you are in the indoor map, you can configure the Indoor settings by pressing the device menu option and selecting Indoor Settings. After you have configured the settings, you will see the Indoor Map. Press the device menu option and select Start Recording to collect the data. If you have configured the slave device to display parameters on the Map, you will see those parameters from the slave devices on the Tablet in the Indoor Map.

Configuring the Outdoor Map

See “Configuring the Outdoor Map” on page 17. After you have configured the settings, go to the application Home screen and tap Outdoor. You will see the Outdoor Map. Press the device menu option and select Start Recording to collect the data. If you have configured the slave device to display parameters on the Map, you will see those parameters from the slave devices on the Tablet in the Outdoor Map.

Exiting the applicationClick the back button on the device until you see the option to exit the application.



Play Back Your Data 3


Play Back Your DataThis chapter explains how to play back the collected data from your phone.

To replay data on the phoneBefore sending the collected data back to the office to be reviewed and analyzed using the E6474A software, you can replay your data on the phone.

To replay the data:1 Run RANAdvisor Handheld.2 Select RF Measurement from the Home screen.3 Press the device menu button.4 Select Start Replay.5 Select YES when requested to stop data logging.6 Locate and select the collected data file.

When playback starts a blue and green dot appears at the top of the screen. At the end of replay you are given the choice of playing the data again or choosing another file.

Note: A Test sequence file is associated with the recorded data file (AHD) when you perform recording. If you want to replay the recorded data file on a different handset, you need to place only the AHD file to the device SD card. The test sequence file is embedded in this AHD file.

If you are playing back an indoor data collection, the map used during the data collection must be located in the same file location for the replay. The file location of the map used is stored in the data collection file.

Getting data from the phoneTo get recorded data from your phone and onto a laptop for playback and analysis, you can use one of the following methods.

USB cable

To transfer the data through a USB cable, perform the following steps:1 Ensure the phone is configured to link as a remote hard drive.2 Connect the phone to your laptop using the USB cable (supplied with the phone).3 On the laptop, locate and copy the recorded data from the phone to your laptop.


3 Play Back Your Data

Bluetooth

To transfer the data using a Bluetooth connection, perform the following steps:1 Enable Bluetooth on the phone (refer to the phone handbook for more information)2 Establish a connection between the phone and your laptop.3 Copy your recorded data from the phone to your laptop.

Remember to disable your Bluetooth connection once you have transferred your files. This will prevent any unexpected data measurements when you next use the phone.

Data card

If you have configured your logged data to be recorded directly onto a data card in the phone, remove the card and copy the files onto your laptop.

HTTPS/FTP Transfer

A useful feature of the application is that it can upload your data files directly from the phone to a known HTTPS/FTP server (accessible by your engineering team). Transfers are only started once you have stopped logging data. To configure HTTPS/FTP transfers after data logging, follow this procedure:1 Run RANAdvisor Handheld.1 Select Settings from the Home screen.2 From the Settings screen, select Record.3 In the Record settings, select Auto Send option. See “Configuring the Record Parameters” on

page 18 for configuring the properties.

Play Back Data Using the E6474A Wireless Network Optimization SoftwareTo play back and analyze your logged data you need to use the E6474A Wireless Network Optimization Software. E-mail [email protected] to get the software.

Details of the installation process and how to use the software are provided in the release notes and the User’s Guide (E6474-90090) which can be found in the documentation library after installation. Select Help > Library and open the E6474-90090 Drive Test User’s guide.

Import and Play Back Logged Handheld Data

After you have installed the E6474A software, follow this procedure to import and play back your logged handheld data. This procedure assumes you have already transferred your logged data onto your laptop (using FTP, Bluetooth, etc.)1 Start the E6474A software.2 Open the Project Manager (F5) or File > Project Manager.3 Select Create Handheld Project to create a new project.
