Fig. 1-2: QualiPoc Remote Control system architecture

The QualiPoc Remote Control system architecture contains the following components:

● QualiPoc unit: Standard Android OS-based consumer mobile phone with SwissQ-ual firmware and QualiPoc software to run the measurements. The QualiPoc soft-ware loads a job configuration and starts the measurement, starts the trace inter-face, provides GPS data, and opens a measurement file. The software starts auto-matically when you turn on the phone and remains active to enable communicationbetween the other QualiPoc Remote Control components and to start measure-ments on time. After the measurement completes, QualiPoc uploads the measure-ment files to an FTP server and informs NQView about the status of the device. Ifavailable, QualiPoc also provides network and position information. The unit alsocontains a watchdog service that automatically restarts QualiPoc if the applicationstops working. If the application restart does not solve the problem, the servicerestarts the phone and then QualiPoc.

● NQView: SwissQual software on your computer that configures and managesQualiPoc units and measurements. NQView stores the configuration and schedul-ing information in an SQL database and can display device and status information

Overview



from a QualiPoc unit in real-time. For more information, see theManual - Diversity NQView.pdf document.

● NQWeb (optional): Web application to define routine jobs, which are scheduled torun at a specified time. NQWeb performs jobs such as importing measurement filesinto NQDI or sending an Email to inform you of a failed test. For more information,see the Manual - NQWeb.pdf document.

● NQDI and NQDI Database (optional): SwissQual post-processing software onyour computer that analyses and stores the measurement data in an SQL data-base. You can import the data manually or configure the Automation Agent to auto-matically import the data. For more information, see the Manual - NQDI.pdfdocument.

● NQComm Service: NQComm runs as a service on your computer to provide com-munication and file transfers to and from the QualiPoc units through an FTP server.NQComm periodically polls the NQView database for new configuration files orjobs and uploads the new files to an FTP server. NQComm also periodically pollsthe FTP Server for new files from the QualiPoc units and downloads the files to afolder that you specify in NQView. NQComm parses and stores status and deviceinformation from the status files in the NQView database. NQComm can also sendan SMS with the SMS service.For HTTP communication, a special HTTP service needs to run on the FTP-Server.

● FTP Server: Provides communication between NQView on your computer and theQualiPoc units, for example, to transfer job configuration and measurement files.Each QualiPoc unit has a dedicated folder on the server that NQComm, QualiPoc,or the special HTTP service can access.

● SMS Service: Provides communication between NQComm and the QualiPoc unitsfor small amounts of information. This service informs the QualiPoc unit of new fileson the FTP-Server and also transmits special commands from NQComm to Quali-Poc.

● Multimedia Server: Provides a test environment for data tests● Voice Call Server: Provides Mobile Originated Calls (MOC), Mobile Terminated

Calls (MTC) and speech quality assessment in downlink and uplink.

QualiPoc Remote Control Operation on a Mobile PhoneSwissQual®...QualiPoc


4 QualiPoc Remote Control Operation on aMobile PhoneThis chapter describes how QualiPoc operates in Remote Control mode.

4.1 Remote Configuration

In Remote Control mode, you configure the QualiPoc Remote Control unit remotelywith NQView.

In addition to the communication settings and the QualiPoc Remote Control configura-tion, you can also perform the following tasks with NQView:● Force a phone reboot● Define behaviour of measurements, that is, task scheduling

NQView saves the configuration settings for the QualiPoc Remote Control unit to aZIP file that uses the following naming convention:

ConfigUpdate_yyyymmdd-hhmmss.zip.

The NQComm service uploads this file to the FTP server and informs QualiPocRemote Control about the new file. QualiPoc Remote Control then downloads the fileto the phone and informs NQView whether the new configuration was loaded success-fully or not.

4.1.1 Rebooting a Phone Remotely

A maintenance hard-coded application restart is scheduled to take place at 23:57:00on the day after the last QualiPoc application start.

The following reboot options are also available in NQView:● "Reboot hardware (delete tasks)": Aborts the scheduled jobs and reboots the

phone● "Reboot hardware (keep tasks)": Reboots the phone without stopping and deleting

the scheduled jobs

4.2 Measurement Jobs

This section describes how QualiPoc Remote Control handles the measurement jobsthat you configure in NQView. For information on how to create and schedule QualiPocjobs, see the Manual - Diversity NQView.pdf document.

Remote Configuration



4.2.1 Scheduling Measurements

The following steps occur after you start a QualiPoc Remote Control campaign (a col-lection of tasks):

1. NQComm uploads the measurement configuration files from NQView to the dedi-cated folder for the QualiPoc Remote Control unit on the FTP-Server and informsQualiPoc about the new file either by SMS or the next time that the phone polls theFTP server.

2. QualiPoc receives the information about the new measurement, connects to theFTP server, downloads the configuration file to the phone, and then analyzes thefile.

Note: If QualiPoc Remote Control does not receive the new measurement configu-ration message or if a GPRS connection is not possible, the unit status remainsidle.

3. If the phone has the correct license for the job, QualiPoc Remote Control sched-ules, and executes the measurement.

4. NQComm verifies that QualiPoc Remote Control successfully loaded the measure-ment configuration file on the phone.If the measurement task is two sided, the B-side job is scheduled first; once theunit confirms that B-side job has been loaded, the A-side job will be scheduled.

5. After the tasks in a campaign successfully load, the task status changes to “run-ning” in NQView.When the task is running on the QualiPoc Remote Control unit the title bar and theQ icon turns red.

Note: Depending on the network, this process can take several minutes.

4.2.2 Running Measurements

QualiPoc Remote Control schedules a measurement after receiving the job informationfrom NQView. After the measurement completes, QualiPoc Remote Control calculatesthe start time for the next measurement and displays the time in the title bar.

● In QualiPoc Remote Control measurement execution is the same as in QualiPocHandheld mode. For more information, see theManual - QualiPoc Android.pdf document.

● A low battery level on the phone as well as a low amount of free space on the SDcard can stop a running job. For more information, see chapter 3.3.1, "BatteryLevel and Disk Space", on page 26.

Measurement Jobs

Fig. 4-3: Upload behaviour

4.3 QualiPoc Remote Control Unit Information

Each time a QualiPoc Remote Control unit connects to the FTP server, QualiPocRemote Control uploads a file with device information that you can view in NQView aswell as file with status information.

4.3.1 Log File

QualiPoc Remote Control records the activities of the unit in log files and regularlyuploads the files to the controlling PC in the \Logfiles\UnitName subfolder of thefolder that contains the measurement files.

You can analyse the log file and the measurement files to troubleshoot problems thatmight arise during a measurement campaign. The name of the log file contains thename of the unit, a sequential number, and the timestamp of the last QualiPoc RemoteControl start-up time, for example, UnitName-0123-QPCLog200606201557.txt.

The log file tends to be unreadable in Notepad. Use an advanced text editor, such asNotepad++ to open the file.
