RANAdvisor SolutionsThe RANAdvisor Handheld Network Monitoring Tool—A Multimeter for RF Engineers

The introduction and rapid growth of smartphones and tablets within the wireless market has created congestion problems in networks worldwide. User behavior, driven by the new smartphone applications, has not only increased data usage, but also signaling and overall network issues. Providers need a solution that can replicate these issues on the same type of devices and environments on which customers experience them.

With the RANAdvisor Handheld network monitoring tool, RF engineers now have a handheld multimeter that is signifi cantly more portable and helps perform tests in even the most diffi cult areas using a common smartphone. Engineers can perform automated tests of voice calls, FTP upload or download, and HTTP browsing while displaying key network parameters and logging to the phone’s data card. Users can program the device to start collecting data when the phone is powered on, letting even novice engineers perform tests and collect data.

Data is geo-located using the internal global positioning system (GPS) of the handset or an external Bluetooth® device. For situations where GPS reception is unavailable, the application is equipped with a powerful indoor collection mode using indoor layout plans and a “point to where you are now” entry system.

Seamless integration with the RANAdvisor platform provides a complete test collection and analysis solution.

Use a Handheld to Test the Network the Way Subscribers Use ItCustomers use voice, web, and e-mail in parallel, so providers must be able to test their network the same way. Th at’s why JDSU introduced the unique parallel test sequencer. Th e sequencer lets users create and run serial and parallel test sequences directly on the device which simplifi es user test case setup when stress testing the network. Th e graphical display updates as the test is running to provide the status of every test. Th is capability clearly shows which tests are running as well as which tests have passed or failed. Th is highly graphical solution provides unforeseen fl ex-ibility and visibility on a handheld network test tool.

Th e full RANAdvisor solution supports complex serial and parallel test scenarios thatcannowbeperformedusingourhandhelddevices.AsimpleGUIletsuserscon-fi gure tests by simply touching the test and running it serially or in parallel, which was never possible in a handheld device until now. Th e easy-to-understand screen displays serial tests from top to bottom, with parallel tests shown in the same row.

Engineers can even share test sequences with other users to achieve consistent test-ing across dispersed teams.

Unattended OperationUsers can also remotely start and stop tests by sending an SMS from a controlling device to either single or multiple test devices. Th is capability allows for deploying RANAdvisor Handhelds at an unattended location and sending an SMS to start/stop recording with results sent (optionally) to a central server for analysis. JDSU also pro-vides an application for Android phones that will send the start or stop SMS to one or multiple RANAdvisor Handhelds.

Synchronize Multiple RANAdvisor Handhelds via BluetoothTh e ability to control and synchronize up to seven handhelds, typically located in a backpack, from a control handheld is very useful for indoor collection. When recording is started on the controlling handheld, a Bluetooth message is sent to remote handhelds, instructing them to begin recording. Th is guarantees synchro-nization which is crucial during this type of testing. During outdoor collection, location information is synchronized via GPS.

During indoor collection, users can use pre-defi ned waypoint fi les that guide them throughapre-determinedtestrouteorusethe“I-am-here”capabilitytofollowadifferentroute.EachwaypointorI-am-hereactiononthecontrolhandheldresultsin a message being sent via Bluetooth to all remote handhelds, synchronizing their position and test results within the test route with the controlling handheld.

Th is capability provides a scalable, portable test solution for recording with up to eight devices: one control device and up to seven devices in the backpack. Th is type of solution is useful to verify multiple operators in parallel, generate load at a spe-cifi c location, test small cells, or test WiFi hotspots.

Faster Fault Location with Google VisualizationUsers can view all measurements in Google maps so they can locate and resolve problems faster. Both street map and satellite views are supported indicating where you are, where you have been, and the signal strength of the area driven.

View Cells on a MapA cell-site database can be loaded into the device that shows the actual cell sites being communicated with on one display.

• Loads cell site files (compatible with drive test files)• Shows site locations on indoor and outdoor maps• Shows serving cell for current location• Shows cell site name on parameter list view

Geo-Locate Indoor TestingIncreasedtestingofindoorenvironmentsrequirestheabilitytolocatemeasure-ments on a map without GPS satellites. Creating waypoints and using outside GPS measurements makes it easy to view indoor measurements on the mapping inter-face. Also, it allows for logging the height of the measurements to create complex views of multistory buildings.

• Create and use waypoints to direct collection routes• Simplify indoor map location using GPS outside the building• Log indoor map height when testing multiple floors

Testing a Specific UARFCN/EARFCN/EVDO ChannelSeveral occasions require deploying a new cell site, adding a new overlay frequency at an existing cell-site, or revalidating the existing frequencies deployed.The JDSU solution can lock the device to a specific channel guaranteeing that it will remain at that frequency despite network conditions so users can complete the test and validate the frequency band.When testing an existing or deploying a new frequency, engineers must be able to force/lock their phone to the specific channel under test, irrespective of where they are within the cell coverage area. Using only a commercial handset like the SamsungGalaxySIII,JDSUcanlocktoaspecificWCDMAfrequency(preferencemode only for LTE), eliminating any possibility of handovers to other frequencies or technologies, helping providers generate revenues faster. Unlike other forcing solu-tions, JDSU uniquely offers this capability on popular commercial handsets like the Samsung Galaxy. An alert will be displayed on the screen when it is in a locked mode to alert engineers in case they do not want to use the device in locked mode.

Inaddition,Nokiahandsetsprovidescanningfunctionalityandscramblingcodelocking to help identify Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) carriers at the user’s location.

The key benefits are enhanced testing speeds and the ability to generate revenues faster from new frequencies.
