Hi all,

Pls help me about to export logfile from Tems to Mapinfo.

Can you show detail the step by step such as:each command, to what doing it now, set up parameter inTems and mapinfo,..so that i can make good a Cat report file.

Thanks and Best regards

Hi Phuong,

I’m Sorry berfore, i think the articel that i’ve post is step by step to export TEMS logfile intoMapInfo tab-file. Maybe i can give more detail point by point :

Point 1 : to export logfile we need to th export logfile window

Point 2 : to add order logfile will be export


9 of 19 3/31/2012 9:59 AM

Point 3 : in this example logfile will export into MapInfo tab-file

Point 4 : Choose info elements that will be export. In the articel there are examples info elementfor GSM and WCDMA. This info elements will be plot in mapinfo.

Point 5 : The Option tab is to configure suc as massage info from layer 2 & layer 3 messages(more detail of call process).

Point 6 : to save the configuration that we have made in *.mex format. So that, if we want toexport log file with same configuration, we just need to “load” the themeplate that saved.

Point 7 : to choose logfile will be export

Point 8 : merge or no merge. If we choose merge, all log files that exported will create one *.tabfile. But, if we don’t check the field merge, there will create one *.tab file for one logfile. So, ifwe have 5 logfile, there will be created 5 *.tab files.

Point 9 : to choose output directory where the exported files will be placed

Point 10 : to give prefix and suffix in *.tab will be created

Point 11 : Expot process

Point 12 : If the process done and succeed, there is a notification in status “success”, if failed thenotification status is “failed”

Point 13 : There several files that created when the export process done

There’s no difference between TEMS 8 and TEMS 6 to export logfile into tab-file.

For process *.tab files in mapinfo, i think you can directly try the steps on point 14 to 37.

I hope this can answer your good question.

Thanks for your attention Phuong.Best Regards,

isa

Hi ISA,

Thanks for reply but i still anything unclearly. Thus, pls help me to explain to step by step at point (How do setup IEs? and how does the configure options tabs?)

Hi Phuong,

Here are step by step to setup IEs that you want to export :1. Choose in field available IEs, GSM or WCDMA.– If you you choose GSM, there will be show available IEs in GSM.– If you you choose WCDMA, there will be show available IEs in WCDMA.2. Then select IEs that you want to export .In example on GSM :- RxLev Sub(dBm) : Signal level that MS reach -> range value between “-40″ – “-120″- RxQual Sub : Quality of the signal that MS reach -> range index between 0-7- SQI : Speech Quality Index is Index quality of speech like MOS. This value is calculate fromBER, FER- TA : Timing Advance, this value give us information about distance between MS to BTS.TA = 1 mean the distance between MS to BTS approx 550meter, TA=2 mean 1.1metersTA usually used to analyze the overshoot cell. If there are TA value > 10 mean the distancebetween MS to BTS more than 5.5 Kilometers.There could be overshoot cells.- FrequencyBand : Frequency Band that used in current channel (900MHz or 1800MHz)

In example on WCDMA :- SAN CPICH RSCP : Serving Active Set/Neighbour Receive Signal Code Power. This InfoElements appear only on UE not on scanner.On Idle mode, cell that served, called Active Set (AS). There can be more than one AS.On Dedicated mode, cell that served, called Serving Cell (SC). There can be more one SChandled MS.This info element give us info about Signal Power Level that MS reach (like RxLevel in GSM).- SAN CPICH Ec/No : Serving Active Set/Neighbour Energy Chip per Noise. This InfoElements appear only on UE not on scanner.This info element give us info about Quality of Signal that MS reach (like RxQual in GSM).

if you use WCDMA scanner :- Sc 1st Aggr Ec (dBm) : Scanner 1st Aggregate Energy Chip


11 of 19 3/31/2012 9:59 AM

Sc 1st means value of the first UARFCN that we scan.If we scanning more than one UARFCN (10663, 10688, 10713), mean Sc 1st is 10663; Sc 2nd is10688 and Sc 3rd is 10713.Sc 1st Aggr Ec (dBm) give us information about Signal Level that MS reach (like CPICH RSCPon UE) for first UARFCN.- Sc 1st Aggr Ec/Io (dB) give us information about Quality of Signal that MS reach (like CPICHEc//No on UE) for first UARFCN (10663).- Sc 2nd Aggr Ec (dBm) give us information about Signal Level that MS reach (like CPICHRSCP on UE) for second UARFCN (10688).- Sc 2nd Aggr Ec/Io (dB) give us information about Quality of Signal that MS reach (like CPICHEc//No on UE) for second UARFCN (10688).- Sc 3rd Aggr Ec (dBm) give us information about Signal Level that MS reach (like CPICHRSCP on UE) for third UARFCN (10713).- Sc 3rd Aggr Ec/Io (dB) give us information about Quality of Signal that MS reach (like CPICHEc//No on UE) for third UARFCN (10713).

In option tab, if you want to export data from all reports just click “Export data from all reports”,if you want to export only from layer 3 so that, click “Export data only from layer 3 reports”.Check Export message information only from layer 3 and layer 2 if you want to export themessage info. If you want to export event directly, choose “Export Events and Plot events inMapInfo” with unix symbol. If you want to plot events later, click “Export events but do not plotin MapInfo”.

Maybe that was all my explanations. I hope it could be useful for you.

Best Regards,

Isa

Hi orainaca

Above topic is really helpful for me , really great effort.. I will really appreciate if anybodywill write or give me the link of procedure to generate the reports after collecting log filesfor UMTS or LTE. I mean , I want to know which parameters optimization engineerconsider before declaring a site on Air. Any help regardingthis topic will be really helpful to me. Thanks .Again best effort.

Hi raka, from query we can select columns from each table. From SQL select, we can filtercolumn by condition that you’ve defined in a certain table.

Ali says:

Good descriptions.

Could you please help me understand the following regarding TEMs Drive Tests.

1. Do you need to load the cell files before starting the DT

2. when I attach the GPS tracker the same way as MS, what do I need to do with the maps so that I canuse the laptop for tracing my route as I drive? – like using say a stand alone TomTom or Garmin satnav

Many thanks

Ali

orinaica says:

Hi Ali,

Answering your qustions :1. When drive test, i need to load cell file to know who is the serving cell. Then we can analyzeif there is an overshoot cell or swap sector in a site.

2. After you get connect the gps, in map window you should edit theme settings. For 2G drivetest choose RxLevSub (dBm) and for 3G drive test choose SAN CPICH RSCP.

Ali says:

Hi Orinaica,

thanks for the quick feedback.

So basically before I start the drive tests, you mean I should have Cell files loaded ofcourse with themap?

How do I load the cell files in TEMs Investigation data collection then? Atleast I know how to do it inTEMS Route Analysis during post processing

Also

When you generate the Mapinfo TAB files to export to TEMS (answer 13 and 14 above), do theycontain the cells file information OR you separately upload the cell files in Mapinfo. The diagram inyour answer 14 – when you open the exported TAB logs, it suggests the cell files info is contained inthere

Thanks

Ali

Wah, very much appreciated Pak Isa / Orinaica for ur articles, these help me a lot..klo liat2 brkeliling, byak sekali blog yg menyadur dari artikel sumber ini..

wanna ask some question if u don’t mind,

kalo orang2 pengin data lengkap, sya pngin menyederhanakan data , khususnya stlh tampil di thematicmap, hehe. tjuannya utk memudahkan aja, soalnya kbnyakan titik mmpunyai nilai yg sama,,apakah nanti pengolahannya sebelum di eksport ke Mapinfo? atau di filter setelah di Mapinfonya? danbagaimana caranya?

segitu dulu Pak.. oya, sya msh belajar mslah bginian, cuz I’m still student who is trying to analyze RFmatters, jadi masi cupu, hehe.

Hi Reza, coba kamu cari tahu tentang “binning” mungkin itu yang kamu maksud.Di RAN TUNING pada TEMS 8 ada feature Binning.Biasanya saya pakai binning by distance.

Saya juga pernah lihat ada tools “macro” ericsson (TIPP-G & TIPP-W) untuk proses binning dankalkulasi statistik drivetest.

coba cati di http://www.finetopix.com

semoga membantu

| Reply Posted 1 year, 1 month ago

Reza says:

waahh… did’t expect u to give such a quick respond Mr. Orinaica

yea, binning or whatever the name is, hehe.but i’ve just checked the TEMS Help Contents, and Binning is exactly what I mean, andDistance Binning more likely what I need

but I got no luck, since using TEMS Route Analysis needs HASL key, and that green littleUSB thing was carried away, again, by its owner, cuz i was just borrowing, hehe :p

hm, can it possibly be done in MapInfo? i have exported the log files into *.TAB, and canit (binning) be done there ? I’ve been looking for the setting but can’t find it anywhere oya , does binning change the overall value of measurements? for example, if withoutbinning, we get mean of measured RXLev sub at -70dBm, and after binning, will it be stillat -70dBm or perhaps will be change?

(ikut2an latian english, sorry if my english’s mbelghedes ora nggenah, heheh)

Thx Mr Orinaica..

orinaica says:

Hi reza,… sorry for very long late response,bcause there’s no email notification bout ur comment on my inbox.Yeah, u should have HASL key (dongle) to run RAN Tuning.


17 of 19 3/31/2012 9:59 AM

Actually, binning is an algorithm to get max or average (i’m forget) value in specific rangethat u set (if u use binning distance).Ie, if u set binning distance 5 meters, that will be take 1 value (max or average) from muchsample u have, on 5×5 meters.So if u can implement that algorithm into the mapinfo query, u’ll get what u want

As i said on my previous reply, u can use TIPP-G (for GSM) and TIPP-W (for WCDMA)to binning ur logfile.First step, u’ve to export ur logfile into *.fmt then go to process on TIPP-G or TIPP-Wmacro.

Try to search the macro on my sites reference (I’ve wrote on my previous reply).

“Don’t ever satisfied if u’ve success on this, bcause there was long journey to discovertechnical skill and telecommunication concept , keep ur spirit to explore urself reza,…Don’t forget to pray. Goodluck man!!!”

note : If u interest to be an optimization engineer, try to explore ur skill on ms. excell andms.access, such as pivot, any formula. creating macro and query.
