1 Introduction

Pilot Navigator is a versatile post-processing solution that analyzes, calculates and

illustrates key metrics of various RF network benchmarking scenarios, through standard

or tailored reporting that may be graphical, numerical or geographical (GIS). It features a

robust statistical engine, an intuitive user interface and compatible with variety of data

sources (terminal, scanner or probe) and all major 2G/3G/LTE technologies.

Navigator offers unparalleled event analysis for troubleshooting dropped calls,

blocked calls, high error rates and low throughput. It present network status of any

measured test area and pinpoint hotspots related to interference, field strength and voice

quality.

Navigator analyzes and generates reports for Pilot Pollution, GPRS coverage, C/I

data, neighbor cell interference, regional statistics and call events (normal & abnormal),

which can be pinpoint and overlaid onto a compatible map as needed.

Navigator bins measurements by grid, distance and time and computes statistics for

the same.* It processes and displays multiple data streams for multiple network

technology, making it suitable for long-term coverage and speech quality comparison

between different operators and/or technologies.

Navigator seamlessly interacts with DingLi's Pilot line of wireless network diagnostic

products, which includes the Pioneer drive-test system, Fleet autonomous network

measurement system, Walktour handheld testing tool and the Scout autonomous network

probe.

2 New Features & Applications

2.1 New Features

2.1.1 Scanner overlay analysis

Navigator supports overlay analysis of multi-network scanner data with site database.

Statistical result can be displayed on geographical background in view window, and be

exported as a report.

2.1.2 Change time scale

Navigator allows changing the time scale in the graph window. This would show all

data for the loaded file in one graph without scrolling.

2.1.3 Cell Over-coverage analysis (Boomer site)

Boomer cells can be considered as cells that are serving beyond their intended area

of coverage. Navigator supports analysis of test data with site database. Cell

over-coverage analysis is carried out in two ways: sector angle range-based, and

penetration level&distance-based. Statistical result can be displayed on geographical view

window, and can be exported as a report.

2.1.4 Overlapping coverage analysis

Navigator computes KPI under the situation where a site is overlapped by multiple

cells. Currently, it supports TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE technology. Statistical result can be

displayed on geographical view window, and can be exported as a report.

2.1.5 High site analysis

Navigator analyzes the effects of cell sites located at high altitude towards network

quality. It supports TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE technologies. Statistical result can be

displayed on geographical view window, and can be exported as a report.

2.2 New Applications

2.2.1 LTE-3G interoperability statistics

Navigator supports statistics of LTE and 3G interoperating details. "LTE-TDSCDMA

handoverdetails" and "LTE-WCDMA handover details” tables are added into data services

report, generating statistics such as3G-4G interoperating delay, cell changes and signal

strength.

2.2.2 Speed test statistics

Speed Test Report is added as a new report type, providing statistics such as upload

and download speeds, Ping delay, and service events.

2.2.3 Support iBwave indoor map format

2.2.4 GSM handover statistics

Navigator supports GSM handover statistics. "GSM handover details” table is added

into voice service report, offering statistics such as cell change, signal strength before and

after the handover, etc.

2.2.5 Video Play analysis & statistics

Video Play report is added as a new report type, offering the statistics such as Video

Play success ratio, mean rate, buffer count, buffer time.

2.2.6 Scanner statistics by cell report

Besides LTE, Navigator supports all other networks.

2.2.7 LTE Report

LTE Reportpresentsstatisticalevents and KPIs from theLTE network. It includes

following tables: Attach+RRC delay report, cmcc detail, TM&Rank, FTP report, handover

new,MCS statistics,Paging report, Ping details, edge details, multi-user connectionsetup

success ratio,cell reselection, handover success, 3.1 network downlink performance

assessment, 3.1 network uplink performance assessment, mean cell throughput, RS

Boosting RRU,RS Boosting cell throughput, single-user throughput, RRU, Adjacent

channel crossed-slot interference, network coverage census, upstream IOT raise-up

range,outdoor coverage indoors–penetration loss, downstream IOT raise-up

range,inter-cell interference suppression.

2.2.8 D/E/F-band interference report

The series of reports are generated forinterference test on LTE bands. It Includes:

5.2.6 handover success, 5.2.1 cell throughput test, 5.2.2 attach success, 5.2.3 connection

setup success, 5.2.4 paging success, 5.2.5 dropping,5.3.1GSM900&F-band interaction,

5.3.2 FE indoor/outdoor priority test, 5.3.3 DE indoor/outdoor priority test, 5.3.4 DF

indoor/outdoor priority test, 5.3.5 indoor/outdoor shared F-band interference assessment.

2.2.9 . LTE data decoding

2.3 New device

2.3.1 iPhone4s supported in data decoding&statistics

Navigator supports analysis and statistics of iPhone4S test data. iPhone4S can be

used as Pioneer terminal or as Walktour device.

2.3.2 Pctel CX Scanner supported

Navigator supports decoding of PCTel CX scanner data.

2.3.3 LTE terminal (HiSilicon MIFI, LC5160T, Huawei E392) supported in

data decoding &statistics

3 User Interface

3.1 Pilot pollution analyzer optimized

"Only Scanner" check box is added onto pilot pollution analysis interface. By

checking “Only Scanner”, Navigator conducts pilot pollution analysis to Scanner

data only.

Afternetwork analysis, parameters trackwill be displayed. See interface below

(here using WCDMAnetwork as example)

1.WCDMA : UARFCN, PSC, ECIO, RSCP

2.TDSCDMA:UARFCN, CPI, PCCPCH RSCP

3.CDMA:UARFCN, PN, ECIO

4.LTE: UARFCN, PCI, RSRP

3.2 Full time scale

Navigator allows changing the time scale in the graph window. This would show all

data for the loaded file in one graph without scrolling. See interface below:

3.3 Map Window

Two functional buttons are added:

Edit neighbor cell

Select a data file in the map window, and all windows will be

synchronized in updating

Optimize By Cell

Click the map shortcut key "Map Option". In Map Option window, check “By Cell” and

make detailed settings in “Server/neighbor cell” column:

3.4 Parameter comparative analysis window

Once parameter comparative analysis is completed, right-click inside the window to

activate a menu, where user can select multiple parameters. This will display details of

selected comparative parameters.

3.5 Bin Analysis

Add “Filter By Regions”

Add “Advance” button. Click it to set bin analysis conditions.

4 Corrected and Known Bugs

4.1 Corrected Bugs

Fix bug regarding changing threshold range

Fix bug that neighbor cell analysis does not generate statistical results

Fix bug in Benchmarking report that statistics by region is invalid

Fix bug in customized report that event statisticsof MOT, soft handover, RAB,

RRC cannot be computed

Fix bug that parameter are wrong in EVDO Radio window

Fix bug that error occurs when opening project

Fix bugs in data service report that uplink TBF Open percentage (%), mean

upstream slot number, upstream TBF reallocation are wrongly computed

Fix bug that ATU data decoding events and signaling window are blank

4.2 Known Bugs (V6.0.0.0)

For “Filter by region” function, Bin analysis supports “by grid” way only, while “by

time” or “by distance” way is not supported.

Parameters under Parameters->Data are displayed incompletely in map window.

The bug fix is deferred.
