TEMS Pocket 9.0 TEMS Pocket consists of a mobile phone with Symbian operating system and TEMS Pocket software. The entire measurement system is therefore conveniently integrated into a lightweight, practical mobile phone.

TEMS Pocket is ideally suited for carrying out local measurements for the purposes of network optimisation or service checks, particularly for indoor tests. With its simple handling it is ideal for measurement tasks that have to be carried out at short notice.

TEMS Pocket 9.0

TEMS Pocket’s at-a-glance user interface displays the measurement results from the viewpoint either of the subscriber or the mobile network specialist.

TEMS Pocket measures with one measurement channel.

Available tests

• Speech, Mobile–Mobile Speech, Video Telephony

• SMS, MMS

• IP Data: Ping, HTTP, FTP, WAP

From the built-in GPS receiver, positional data can also be included in the measurement.

Data acquisition

The measurement data is stored as raw data on the phone’s memory card and can be downloaded to a PC via wireless transfer or USB.



TEMS Pocket 9.0 – Measurement Possibilities TEMS Pocket is a PC-independent measurement system running on Nokia Symbian phones.

TEMS Pocket provides a variety of tests (see below) which can be mixed together into a measurement configuration. A measurement configuration runs a defined number of times, for a certain duration or until the user stops it.

Speech tests / Mobile–Mobile Speech tests (Option) Speech quality is measured between two TEMS Pocket or a TEMS Pocket and an answer station playing speech samples. The evaluation is done by using the PESQ algorithm according to ITU-T Rec. P.862. The speech samples are provided in English, French and German. Speech samples for answer station: Memory Card (E:)\TEMS_Pocket_9

Video Telephony tests Video telephony tests are done by calling a VT capable answer station. The same KPIs as for speech tests are evaluated except Speech MOS.

HTTP tests HTTP tests are done by downloading any public Web page. Application throughput as well as IP throughput can be measured.

If necessary, it is possible to configure an HTTP proxy server.

60315165-TPUM 1. © 9 released Ascom Network Testing Ltd, 6.5.10 0 en /


Ping tests A burst of ICMP Ping messages can be sent to any computer that supports Ping by either giving its IP address or its DNS name.

FTP tests FTP tests either download an existing file from a public FTP server or upload a file of a given size and type to a public FTP server.

Supported file types for upload: Random binary data, random text, JPEG image, compressed zip file.

Example of an FTP test with HSPA

WAP tests The WAP test downloads WML pages and their content from any public page using the WAP 2.0 protocol.

SMS tests SMS tests are carried out by sending SMS messages to its own. The message size can be configured.

MMS tests MMS tests are carried out by sending MMS messages to its own. A list of predefined contents consisting of a mixture of text, pictures, sound and video is provided for selection.



Additional Options

PESQ This option enables the speech quality evaluation according to ITU-P.862. The speech quality of a connection is evaluated in the same way as it is experienced by the subscriber. As a result TEMS Pocket is capable of evaluating the speech quality objectively and with reproducible results.

Real evaluation of speech quality

The spoken text has been very carefully chosen for each language so that it is phonetically balanced, i.e. it contains the mostly used phonemes and diphones of the language.

MOS scores are calculated directly on the mobile phone during the speech call:

Time required for the evaluation: 7…11 s (depending on speech quality).

Both result types P.862 and P.862.1 are stored in the measurement files, the P.862.1 values are displayed on a result tab:

released Ascom Network Testing Ltd, 6.5.10 0 en /


P.862.1 = MOS scale

1 bad 2 poor 3 fair 4 good 51) excellent 1) A 5.0 rating cannot be achieved in telecommunications as coding already

results in a certain reduction in quality. The maximum rating achievable with P.862.1 is 4.5

P.862 (also referred to as «Raw PESQ»)

The PESQ algorithm determines speech quality on a separate scale (see ITU-T Rec. P.862).

Due to differing scale ranges numerical values are not directly comparable with the MOS scale.

Not comparable

Indoor Map This feature enables loading of prepared «Indoor Locations» into TEMS Pocket, so you can enter the measurement positions on the Measurement Screen during indoor measurements.

RF Scan Mode This option turns your TEMS Pocket into a handheld scanner for GSM and WCDMA.




Measurement procedure and analysis with TEMS Pocket

Creating measurement configurations

This is normally done on a PC using the «TEMS Pocket Tools» delivered with your TEMS Pocket, and the measurement configu-ration files are afterwards transferred to the mobile phone.

It is also possible to create or edit measurement configurations on the mobile phone itself using the «TEMS Pocket» application.

Measurement

The mobile phone can be used independent from a PC. You can select a measurement configuration, carry out measurements (recording the data) and display live results. Measurements are controlled by the «TEMS Pocket» application on the mobile phone.

Analysing result files

TEMS Pocket creates «.QMZ» result files.

The files can be…

• replayed directly on the phone

• imported into the very powerful presentation and analysis tools TEMS Discovery or QVoice Presentation (part of the TEMS Symphony Suite, based on an SQL database)

Before displaying with QVoice Field Analyser, the files must be converted into QMD format on a PC using the QMZ Decoder.

TEMS POCKET 9.0 SPECIAL OPERATIONS


Import into a TEMS Post-processing System TEMS Discovery and QVoice Presentation (part of the TEMS Symphony Suite) support the import of QMZ files. During import the files are converted to QMD files which can take a considerable amount of time.

Converting QMZ files into QMD files The generated QMD files have the same names as the original QMZ files except for the extension.

Converting a single file Double-click the file.

Converting multiple files Start the «QMZ Decoder» from the Windows Start menu: Start – Programs – Ascom – TEMS Products – QMZ Decoder

Converting a whole directory with many files Use this command: Start – Programs – Ascom – TEMS Products – QMZ Decoder (whole directory)

and select the directory to convert.


Adjust the Phone Clock


If the phone clock displays a wrong time, you must adjust it following this instructions.

Adjust it by TEMS Pocket

Changing the clock by hand may cause license consistency problems.

In certain cases the phone clock is reset, e.g. after a full reset. Since the «TEMS Pocket» application supervises the phone clock, it will reset the time to the last time, the mobile phone has been turned off.

If you ever need to adjust, you need to do this using the «TEMS Pocket» application: Open the application and select the appro-priate command:

a) Options – Update phone time with GPS

If you are near a window or outside, the built-in GPS receiver knows not only the valid position but also the exact world time; so we suggest using this method to update the clock.

b) Options – Update phone time with NTP (PS)

This will connect the mobile phone to a public time server using a packet switched connection and update the clock from this time. NTP time update might not be possible in certain networks.

Only the clock’s universal time is checked and updated. If you travel from one time zone to another, you have to adjust the current time zone and daylight saving:

Changing current time zone

Press and open «Settings – Clock».

Choose «Options – Settings» and adjust your Time zone.
