1. Introduction TEMS™ Pocket is a handheld tool for verification, maintenance, and troubleshooting of mobile networks as well as for basic cell-planning tasks. Built into a commercial mobile phone, TEMS Pocket collects measurements and events and presents them on the color display. It is possible to store the measurements for later analysis in other TEMS products. Its combination of small size and powerful testing features makes TEMS Pocket a convenient tool for day-to-day monitoring of mobile networks. In addition, since the mobile station can function as the user's regular phone, TEMS Pocket provides a powerful way to catch errors without explicitly searching for them.

TEMS Pocket is designed as an integral part of the phone’s user interface. This promotes continuous use by engineers and technicians, which translates into more time for them to detect, document, and solve problems. With the introduction of the TEMS Pocket Remote package, the phone can be carried by anyone; it is remotely controlled from TEMS™ Automatic and collects information without any user interaction.

TEMS Pocket can be integrated with other TEMS tools to form a complete network monitoring solution that allows reuse of information collected throughout an organization.

TEMS Pocket is continuously evolving to provide its users with a package that is efficient and offers good value.


TEMS™ Pocket 7.3 What’s New in TEMS Pocket 7.3

2. What’s New in TEMS Pocket 7.3 TEMS Pocket 7.3 is based on the same Sony Ericsson handsets as TEMS Pocket 7.2 (W995/W995a/W995 EDGE) and is available as an upgrade for TEMS Pocket 7.2 users.

2.1. Presentation of Cell Names

In TEMS Pocket 7.3 it is possible to present cells by name in the realtime data views. The cell names are retrieved from an XML-format cell file that the user imports into the TEMS Pocket application; the cell presentation can then be toggled between cell name and CGI. Two new data views listing cells by name (one for GSM and one for WCDMA) are also introduced in order to further amplify the overview of the network structure.

2.2. Event-based Logfile Sifting

This feature allows the user to set up criteria for what logfiles will be saved during passive monitoring of user sessions, or when a command sequence is running. For example, the user can choose to save only logfiles where some failure event occurs. Storing logfiles more selectively like this allows users to focus their analysis precisely on the data that is most relevant in the context.

2.3. Improved Logfile Naming

The naming of logfiles recorded by TEMS Pocket has been made more structured and elaborate, simplifying and speeding up analysis of the files. The logfile name now indicates:

• Occurrence of failure event (if any)

• Type of measurement

• Manually added tag (if any)

• Date and time

2.4. Coexistence with MRU (Mobile Receiving Unit)

TEMS Pocket 7.3 can reside on a TEMS™ Investigation phone which also has MRU (Mobile Receiving Unit) software installed. This has previously not been possible. The MRU acts as a receiver when performing voice


TEMS™ Pocket 7.3 What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.2

quality (PESQ) measurements with TEMS Investigation or TEMS Automatic.

3. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.2 TEMS Pocket 7.2 is a Sony Ericsson-based release, the successor to TEMS Pocket 7.0. (TEMS Pocket 7.1 is a Nokia-based release.)

3.1. New UMTS Phones: Sony Ericsson W995/W995a

TEMS Pocket 7.2 is implemented on the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a phones. They are the first Sony Ericsson phones that officially support HSUPA (EUL). Some further key features of these devices are:

• GSM/GPRS quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

• WCDMA/HSPA 7.2 Mbit/s DL, 2 Mbit/s UL

− W995: 900/2100 MHz

− W995a: 850/1900/2100 MHz

• 8.1 megapixel camera

• Integrated GPS

3.2. New GSM Phone: Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE

TEMS Pocket 7.2 is also available on the GSM-only version of the W995 phone, which is called Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE. Key features are:

• GSM/GPRS quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

• EDGE Class 10

3.3. Scanning (GSM and WCDMA)

TEMS Pocket 7.2 introduced the capability of scanning GSM and WCDMA networks.

Supported bands are as follows:



• Sony Ericsson W995: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA 900/2100

• Sony Ericsson W995a: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA 850/1900/2100

• Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE: GSM 850/900/1800/1900

For GSM, RSSI scanning is done either across an entire band or of a user-selected set of up to 200 ARFCNs. The ARFCNs can be picked from arbitrary bands. BSIC decoding helps identify the signal source.

For WCDMA, two scanning modes are provided: network scan and CPICH scan.

• In network scan mode, TEMS Pocket will scan a user-selected band for UARFCNs where a CPICH can be decoded. The main purpose of this scan mode is to detect network presence; UARFCNs found by the network scan can be added to the CPICH scan list.

• In CPICH scan mode, the current top ten CPICHs are presented from each scanned UARFCN. Up to 12 UARFCNs can be scanned.

The scan presentation has been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive view of all scanned channels, ensuring that no significant signals are overlooked, while also allowing close-up inspection of individual channels.

3.4. Command Sequence Enhancements

The command sequence function was greatly expanded and enhanced in this release. New features are:

• Actions for HTTP, streaming, and idle mode. Regarding streaming, see section 1.1.5 below.

• Multiple actions (up to 10) can be strung together in one command sequence.

• Multiple command sequences (up to 10) can be defined.

• Default settings for each action type can be saved; new actions are initialized with these defaults.

• Actions contain an option for applying control functions while the action is executed, for instance locking on a band and/or cell.

• Logfile recording can be set on or off for each command sequence.

• For voice and video calls, a redial option can be activated which causes any dropped or blocked calls to be redialed automatically.



• Logfile upload can be done after each loop through a command sequence.

• A new data view is provided which presents the current status of a command sequence that is being executed. The information given includes the expected remaining duration of current action and the next action to follow.

• All command sequence settings can be exported to file and imported.

3.5. Streaming

TEMS Pocket 7.2 can test video streaming over the RTSP protocol by means of the phone’s integrated media player. Data can be streamed from a user-defined URL through an access point that is likewise user-configurable. The media presentation can be customized in various respects (hide/show video; audio on/off). A new command sequence action is provided for streaming; it lets the user put a cap on the duration of the streaming session.

Streaming performance data is displayed in the TEMS Pocket data views just as for previously supported services such as FTP.

3.6. Passive Measurement

Automatic recording of logfiles was renamed “passive measurement.” This kind of measurement is configured separately for each service type (voice, FTP, and so on). For HTTP and streaming, a privacy option is provided which suppresses recording of what URLs are visited.

3.7. New GPS

The GPS that can optionally be ordered with TEMS Pocket 7.2 is the GlobalSat BT-359.

3.8. Data Upload over WiFi

Data upload can alternatively be done over WiFi whenever a WiFi access point is available.

The TEMS Pocket phone is capable of searching for available WiFi networks, and the user can select any WiFi bearer thus detected for uploading TEMS Pocket data to an FTP server.



3.9. HSPA Data View

The HSDPA Data view was expanded with HSUPA-specific information and renamed “HSPA Data,” Among this information may be noted average E-TFCI, average Serving Grant Index, average transport block size, and UE happy rate.

3.10. WCDMA AMR Data View

A new data view (“WCDMA AMR”) was created for showing AMR speech codec usage in WCDMA. Both AMR-NB (narrowband) and AMR-WB (wideband) appear in the view, which is broadly similar to the GSM AMR data view already present.

3.11. Disabling TEMS Pocket on Roaming

(Remote package)

When the TEMS Pocket phone has roamed to a different network, the user may wish to inhibit measurement and data uploading so as to avoid roaming fees. It is possible in TEMS Pocket to disable measurement and/or uploads when the phone is located outside the home network.

4. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.0

4.1. Phone Capabilities

• HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s DL

• 8.1 megapixel camera

4.2. Map View and Pinpointing

The map view was the principal new feature in TEMS Pocket 7.0. It allows users to pinpoint their route through a building on a floor plan. The setup is fast and easy:

• Use the TEMS Pocket phone to take a photo of the floor plan (most conveniently perhaps the emergency/evacuation plan displayed in the building).

• Load the picture as a background image in the map view.



• Start pinpointing your position in the building. A logfile will be opened automatically. Pinpoint at regular intervals along the route and whenever you change direction.

• When you are done with the measurement, give a “Stop pinpointing” command. The logfile will close.

This is the full list of steps required to use the TEMS Pocket Map view. No messy or time-consuming preparations have been left out: none are needed.

Before post-processing the data, it just needs to be anchored to a geographical position. This is accomplished in a tick with a utility accompanying TEMS Pocket. The logfiles are then ready to be loaded into TEMS™ Presentation or TEMS Investigation.

The map functionality is available as an option in the Professional package.

4.3. Graph Views

TEMS Pocket 7.0 comes equipped with a set of graph views showing how radio parameters vary over time. These line charts are an entirely new feature in TEMS Pocket, but they are similar to those found in TEMS Investigation and TEMS Presentation.

Graph views are available in both TEMS Pocket Classic and TEMS Pocket Professional. All graphs come predefined and ready to use without any need for configuration.

4.4. Resumption of Data Upload

The data upload process is improved: If the FTP connection goes down, the upload of a logfile is resumed from where it was interrupted instead of being restarted from the beginning. The new procedure cuts upload times and saves phone battery life, enhancing the efficiency and power of the tool. The upload feature is applicable to TEMS Pocket Professional only, because TEMS Pocket Classic does not have the data upload feature.

4.5. Cell Id Presentation

Cell Identity data is presented in both idle and dedicated/connected mode for both GSM and WCDMA. This is achieved by buffering Cell Identities in idle mode and then correlating the buffered data with the phone’s position in dedicated/connected mode. The buffer is cleared when the phone is restarted.



4.6. Snapshots of Data Views

A display snapshot function was added which enables the user to capture TEMS Pocket data views in the form of bitmap images. The snapshot function is perfect for instantly capturing the user’s view of the network. It can also be used as a receipt handed in by staff to confirm completion of field measurement tasks. This too contributes to efficiency and reduces traveling expenses.

4.7. Import and Export of TEMS Pocket Settings

More aspects of user configuration in TEMS Pocket can now be saved to files: command sequence setups, user-configured graph views and map views, and more. Each setup is saved in a separate file which can be imported into the application on a later occasion. This functionality permits convenient distribution of test setups to multiple TEMS Pocket units.


TEMS Pocket 7.0 introduced passive mode measurements. This means simply that TEMS Pocket makes the measurements during the phone user’s own voice calls and web browsing (HTTP) sessions, rather than setting up calls and data sessions specifically for the purpose of measuring.

Such a non-intrusive measurement method saves battery life and allows TEMS Pocket to capture user-experienced problems that are 100% genuine. With the passive measurement it is possible to let anyone capture the status of the network: the person only needs to use the phone in a regular fashion!

TEMS Pocket Remote units can still be controlled with work orders that perform active measurements, just as in previous TEMS Pocket releases.

4.9. Remote Initial Configuration

(Remote and Premium packages)

This function enables easy configuration of TEMS Pocket Remote units for access to a TEMS Automatic system. From the TEMS Automatic Operator Console, an SMS with the requisite configuration information is sent to the TEMS Pocket device.

7.2.5. Graph Views

Graphs are great for visualizing parameter trends over time. Plotted in the high-resolution display of the Sony Ericsson W995 phone, the TEMS Pocket graph views really add extra value when investigating network performance. The graph views present textual information and line charts side by side, in a format that is clear and instantly interpretable. All views are predefined and ready to use right out of the box without any need for tedious configuration. The setup is already done.

Events that occur are indicated by vertical lines in each graph.

The following graph views are provided (graph contents indicated below):

• W/G Serving RSSI: WCDMA serving cell RSCP/GSM serving cell RxLev

• W/G Cells: WCDMA serving cell RSCP/GSM serving cell RxLev; the same is true for the three strongest WCDMA/GSM neighbors

• W/G Data: Transport channel and RLC/MAC data transfer rates

• WCDMA Serving: WCDMA serving cell RSCP; UARFCN RSSI

• WCDMA SIR: SIR Target and Actual SIR

• WCDMA Cells: RSCP for serving cell and three strongest neighbors

• GSM Cells: RxLev for serving cell and three strongest neighbors

• GSM Data: RLC/MAC data transfer rate

7.2.6. Map View

With the new map view it is possible to record positions for measurements in indoor locations and other places where GPS coverage is not available. This is done by pinpointing the positions in the map view. The setup is done in a few very simple steps.

Use the phone’s camera to capture an image of the environment that is going to be covered. Photographing an emergency plan is a handy way of getting a view of a building. The best image quality is obtained if the camera is set in black-and-white mode.

The next step is to load the image into the Map view:

Once the image has been loaded, properties can be set for the Map view such as the street address of the building, the floor depicted in the image, and the zoom level. Before starting the measurement, the map zoom should be set in such a way that the pinpointing can be done conveniently.



To initiate the measurement, the user simply starts pinpointing. A crosshair symbol appears. The location can be pinpointed by moving the crosshairs to the correct position on the map and pushing a button on the phone keypad. This is repeated at regular intervals along the route, or at each turn. A logfile is opened automatically when the pinpointing begins.

The measurements, the position information, and the map are automatically combined into one unit. When the user is finished with the survey of the building and/or areas of interest, he or she just has to stop pinpointing. The logfile being recorded is automatically closed.



After concluding the measurement, the collected data can be transferred to a PC to post-process it with TEMS Investigation or TEMS Presentation. As a preparation for post- processing, the data can be tagged with a geographical position to make sure that the data will be included in area processing. Not only the data but also the captured background map itself can then be viewed in TEMS Presentation or TEMS Investigation.

7.3. Cell Control

TEMS Pocket has a number of functions that allow the user to control the behavior of the mobile phone. These functions are essential for troubleshooting and verification in the field. From the Cell Control menu the user can select multiple actions:

Cell Control menu

• Lock to RAT (Off/WCDMA/GSM)

• Lock cell WCDMA (Off/Set UARFCN/SC)

• Lock ARFCN GSM (Off/Set ARFCN)

• Lock to band WCDMA (Off/850/900/1900/2100)

• Lock to band GSM (Off/850/900/1800/1900)

• Voice codec (GSM: FR/EFR/AMR-FR/AMR-HR/AMR-WB; WCDMA: UMTS AMR/UMTS AMR2/UMTS AMR-WB)

• HS capability (Off/On)

• Ignore cell barred (Off/On)

• Reset control settings to default off state



Context-sensitive control functions are also available from the shortcut menu of many data views. For example, the following sequence of screenshots shows how to select and lock to a GSM cell from the GSM Cells data view:

Locking to GSM cell: Step 1 Locking to GSM cell: Step 2

Yet another way to apply cell control functions is to turn them on during the execution of a command sequence action. Special options are provided for this purpose in the command sequence action settings; see section 7.10.

Locking to GSM cell: Step 3 Locking to GSM cell: Step 4

7.4. Events

TEMS Pocket can log a wide range of network events. For the full list of supported events, see chapter 14.



Events are stored in the event log, which has room for 100 entries. Once the log is full, the oldest log entry is removed whenever a new event occurs. Users are notified of events by sounds and icons, and they can turn both notifications and logging on and off for each event type separately. Predefined sound files can be replaced by user-selected ones in a variety of formats, including AMR and MP3. Icons emerge on the standby display status bar, next to the signal strength and battery indicators, to inform the user about the latest event that occurred.

To view past events, the user can enter the event log. The simplest way to do this is through the shortcut on the Activity menu. To simplify viewing, each of the following event subsets is presented on its own tab: All events, New events, Failure events, and Normal events. By selecting an individual event, the user can inspect more detailed information on that event. After an event has been viewed for the first time, it is moved out of the New category.

The following properties can be toggled on and off for each event type separately: logging, sound, and icon popup.

Event log: New events Event settings

The event log displays a one-line description of each event. In the detailed event view, this data is supplemented with a timestamp as well as event-specific parameters and CGI information.



Event log: Event parameters

In addition to the event log, TEMS Pocket has event counters that keep track of the number of times each type of event has occurred. The counters are always active and can be used as an alternative or supplement to the event log, particularly for events of which the user has no particular need to be notified. The event counters can be reset at any time.

Event counters

7.5. GPS Support

TEMS Pocket Professional supports positioning with the GPS device built into the handset, obviating the need for a separate external GPS.

Alternatively, it is possible to connect an external Bluetooth GPS, either one provided by TEMS or some other commercially available GPS device. Supported Bluetooth GPS devices are those using Bluetooth version 1.1 (or



later) and NMEA 0183 version 2.2 (or later). Bluetooth pairing is handled by the regular Bluetooth functions in the phone.

Tagging TEMS Pocket logfiles with position information means that the logfiles can be subjected to comprehensive analysis with mapping tools, such as those found in TEMS Investigation and TEMS Presentation. (Without position data, TEMS Pocket logfiles will still contribute to cell statistics in TEMS Presentation.)

TEMS Pocket GPS usage is configured in the TEMS Pocket menu. The user can opt to connect manually for control of power consumption, or automatically for convenience.

On the Sony Ericsson platform, the user can also choose to synchronize the phone clock with GPS time to ensure accurate timestamping in logfiles.

GPS menu GPS connect method

Synchronizing clock to GPS time



7.6. Logfile Recording

TEMS Pocket Professional can record its measurements in logfiles, containing the same richness of detail as logfiles recorded with TEMS Automatic test units or with terminals connected to TEMS Investigation. The only TEMS data that cannot be obtained with TEMS Pocket is data that requires additional hardware not available with TEMS Pocket, such as an external scanner or DSP.

TEMS Pocket Professional logfiles can be stored in the phone’s internal memory or on a memory card. Sony Ericsson mobiles are supplied with Memory Stick Micro cards, which will accommodate several weeks’ worth of continuous logging. Every engineer is thus in a position to capture valuable data whenever the opportunity arises, using his or her regular handset. This greatly enhances the flexibility and efficiency of network monitoring, and also promotes multiple uses of the same data.

The logfile settings are available from the TEMS Pocket menu. Manual logfile recording is quickly and conveniently accessed from the Activity menu.

Logfile settings Selecting logfile location

7.6.1. Inserting Filemarks

During logfile recording, the user can add filemarks with user-defined text to the logfile, for example in order to note the present location (if no positioning is used). The filemarks created in TEMS Pocket are visible in other TEMS products such as TEMS Investigation during logfile replay.



Adding a filemark to a logfile Composing filemark text

7.6.2. Tagging Logfiles

The user can apply a tag the logfile as a whole. This provides a simple means to single out logfiles of special interest. The tag consists simply of the string “_tag” being included in the logfile name.

7.7. Logfile Upload

Logfiles are ordinary files in the phone file system and can be handled by the user via the file manager. For example, the user can transfer logfiles to a PC via USB or Bluetooth. It is also possible to send files as attachments to e-mail.

Recorded logfiles can be sent to an FTP server using the built-in FTP client. This can be used to report the work progress with reports sent directly from the field. It can also be used to fully integrate the collected data into TEMS Automatic.

TEMS Pocket can be configured to upload logfiles to an FTP server automatically either as soon as the recording is concluded or according to a schedule. In the latter case, when an upload comes due, all logfiles created since the last upload are transferred. The user can stop an ongoing upload at any time; the files will then be transferred the next time an upload starts.

Logfiles can be compressed before they are transferred over the air in order to reduce upload time and also to save battery power.



Logfile upload settings

7.8. Logfile Replay

From the Activity menu the user can replay previously recorded logfiles for quick and easy on-site troubleshooting. All data and events will then display in the TEMS Pocket user interface exactly as they did in real time. An icon is also shown indicating that replay is in progress.

The screenshots below show the commands used to play, step, pause, and rewind a logfile.

Logfile replay: Standby (start of file) Logfile replay in progress



Logfile replay: Options menu Logfile replay: End of file reached

Certain features of TEMS Automatic and TEMS Investigation are not supported in TEMS Pocket logfiles. These include, for example, features which require additional hardware not included with TEMS Pocket, such as an external scanner or DSP.

7.9. FTP

TEMS Pocket supports FTP sessions for network troubleshooting and logfile transfer. Troubleshooting data communication without a PC is made easier by allowing users to access FTP servers for Put and Get commands. This loads the network stack, and the performance can be inspected in the data views. The FTP function can also be used to transfer captured logfiles to a server for further analysis in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Presentation.

• Users may configure FTP settings from the TEMS Pocket menu, including multiple FTP server profiles, account information, etc.

• Local files can be found through a file browser.

• FTP Put/Get is activated from the Activity menu.

7.10. Command Sequence

TEMS Pocket supports automation of testing with command sequences. Command sequences provide a powerful aid in troubleshooting by allowing engineers to run advanced test scripts at the push of a button. Furthermore, in conjunction with automated logfile recording and FTP transfer, the command sequence facility allows TEMS Pocket units to be used as handheld testing probes for TEMS Automatic.



Up to ten distinct command sequences can be defined, and each sequence can contain up to ten separate actions. Each action tests one of the following services:

• Voice

• Video

• FTP (upload/download)

• HTTP

• Streaming

Additionally, a special action is provided for idle mode measurement.

The user can start and stop command sequences from the Activity menu.

The command sequence setup contains a whole array of options that further amplify the usability and power of the feature:

• Actions in the sequence can be easily reordered by means of a “move” command.

• Logfile recording can be turned on and off for each action.

• Control functions such as band lock and speech codec control (see section 7.3) can be applied for the duration of an action. This is configured as an option in the action settings, and the details are handled in exactly the same way as when applying control functions manually.

• Storing of logfiles can be made contingent on the occurrence of certain events or user actions. For example, the user can choose to store only files in which a particular kind of event occurs (success, failure, or abort). This helps keep down the volume of the stored data and increases the relevance of the data stored.

• A data upload can be scheduled after each traversal of the command sequence.

• To speed up the configuration of actions, the user can save action settings as default settings for that action type. New actions of the same type will then be initialized with these defaults.

• All action settings and generic command sequence settings can be exported to file and imported back into the TEMS Pocket application.

While a command sequence is being run, a special data view (named “Progress”) displays the status of the execution. The information shown includes the current action, the expected remaining duration of that action, and the next action to follow. See section 7.2.2.



Below is a series of screenshots showing how to add a new action to a command sequence.

List of defined command sequences Properties of command sequence

Adding new action to sequence Configuring the action (HTTP)


TEMS Pocket can operate in passive mode. This means that recording of measurements is activated automatically in a (configurable) range of circumstances: at power-on, and/or in response to voice calls, video calls, web browsing, streaming, or FTP activity. When the recording is triggered by service use, it is concluded on termination of the service.

With the passive measurement feature, it is possible to capture 100% genuine user-experienced problems without any special skills being required on the part of the person carrying the phone.



Just as in command sequences (see section 7.10), the user can set up criteria governing when to store a recorded logfile: only if a success event has occurred, etc.

Passive measurement settings Configuring logfile storing criteria

7.12. General Settings

TEMS Pocket allows users to configure the presentation of data, as well as other aspects of application behavior, as best suits their needs. This is done from the General Settings menu.

General settings (partial list)

• Show or hide WAP data view.

• Display data views against a background theme, or as black text against a white background.

• Present call messages in normal or minimized format.

• Optionally extend duration of dimmed backlight to 1, 2, 5, or 20 minutes.

• Present Cell Identity in hexadecimal or decimal format.

• Present GSM signal strength in dBm or GSM units.

• Present GSM Full or Sub measurements.



• Automatically answer incoming calls (on/off).

• Reset all General settings to default values.

7.13. Scanning

TEMS Pocket 7.2 is the first TEMS Pocket release to support scanning of GSM and WCDMA networks. When scanning, the TEMS Pocket application goes into a distinct operational mode that is separate from all other TEMS Pocket functions.

Supported bands are as follows:

• W995: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; UMTS 900/2100

• W995a: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; UMTS 850/1900/2100

• W995 EDGE: GSM 850/900/1800/1900

7.13.1. GSM Scanning

RSSI readings are obtained for the ARFCNs of your choice, either an entire band or an user-selected set of ARFCNs (up to 200) picked from arbitrary bands. BSIC decoding is used as a means of identifying the signal source.

GSM scanning: Band or custom list GSM scanning: Custom list of ARFCNs



7.13.2. WCDMA Scanning

CPICH RSSI and RSCP are measured. Two scanning modes are provided, CPICH scan and network scan:

• In CPICH scan mode, the user selects up to 12 UARFCNs for scanning, and the presentation will at any time exhibit the current top ten CPICHs found among these frequencies. It is possible to add UARFCNs from a network scan (see next bullet) to the CPICH scan list.

• In network scan mode, TEMS Pocket will scan a user-selected band for UARFCNs where a CPICH can be decoded. The primary use for this mode is to detect network presence and then proceed to CPICH scan the UARFCNs detected.

WCDMA scanning: Band/Custom list WCDMA scanning: Custom list of UARFCNs

7.13.3. Recording Scan Data

Like other data collected by TEMS Pocket, scan data can be recorded in logfiles. This enables further analysis of the scan data in other TEMS tools.

7.13.4. Presentation of Scanning

The presentation has been carefully designed for the phone-size screen, dividing channels into groups and displaying the maximum signal strength in each group. This arrangement aims to fit all important channels in one screen width, thus eliminating the need for scrolling and the risk of missing out on significant signals.

Below, examples are given of the presentation of GSM as well as WCDMA scanning.



GSM whole-band scanning. The GSM 900 band is scanned. The thicker bars within the frame with rounded corners are the channels currently selected by the user, with text labels showing ARFCN, BSIC (where decoded), and RSSI (in dBm). The thin bars filling up the rest of the screen depict the entire 900 band, as indicated by the endpoint ARFCNs 975 and 124; each bar here represents the maximum RSSI in a group of adjacent ARFCNs. The frame can be scrolled left and right along the entire band. This mode of visualization ensures that no important information is missed.

All ARFCNs where BSIC has been successfully decoded are drawn in green.

The center ARFCN among the channels in focus (green bar with black contour) can be added to the custom scan list; compare next screenshot. This function lets you pick channels of particular interest and monitor only those, using the custom list scan mode.

GSM custom list scan. All channels on the custom list are displayed. Again, the rounded frame encloses the five channels in focus, which are glossed in the text pane giving ARFCN, BSIC, and RSSI for each channel.

This presentation gives a close-up view of a (usually small) set of specially selected channels.



WCDMA whole-band (network) scan. The presentation shows all UARFCNs where signal strength has been detected, with the text pane also showing the index of one scrambling code and the measured RSSI.

The center UARFCN (with black contour) can be added to the custom (CPICH) scan list so that scrambling code usage on that carrier can be studied in more detail. See next presentation.

WCDMA custom list (CPICH) scan. Each green bar represents one UARFCN; the one on the left is in focus. On top of the UARFCN bar are drawn the strongest (in this case, all) scrambling codes detected on that UARFCN. The two bottom rows give RSCP and Ec/No readings.


TEMS™ Pocket 7.3 Functions in the TEMS Pocket Remote Package


8. Functions in the TEMS Pocket Remote Package

8.1. General

The TEMS Pocket Remote package is a fully integrated part of TEMS Automatic. TEMS Pocket Remote units are remotely controlled and configured by predefined TEMS Automatic work orders; these work orders are executed without interfering with the normal use of the phone device. All background operations are stopped in the event of incoming calls or if the user interacts with the phone device. This is to ensure that the TEMS Pocket Remote unit can function satisfactorily as the user’s primary phone.

Data collected by the TEMS Pocket Remote package contains the same level of detail as MTU data, with the sole exception of audio quality measurements (PESQ).

Once collected, the data is transferred to the fixed side and processed into the TEMS Automatic database without any user interaction. Using TEMS Pocket Remote units, it is easy to extend the fleet of TEMS Automatic measurement probes to cover areas that are difficult or impossible to access with a vehicle. TEMS Pocket Remote will always be available as a measurement probe, on the way to work, at lunch, in the office, at the airport – wherever the phone user is located. It will capture network data wherever customers go.

TEMS Pocket Remote offers the option of passive mode measurement.1 This means that the device captures measurement data during the voice calls or web browsing sessions that the phone user performs (rather than relying on special work orders for this purpose). A special kind of work order is created for passive mode measurement, specifying the service to monitor (voice or PS data HTTP) and the duration of the monitoring.

Passive mode measurement yields a 100% genuine picture of how a subscriber experiences the network, while also minimizing the additional power consumption for measurements. Operators can use passive mode measurements to be proactive, monitoring important customers to make sure that their perceived network quality is on a par with expectations.

8.2. Controlling TEMS Pocket Remote Operation

Once the work order configuration is done, the measurement activities of the TEMS Pocket Remote unit are fully remotely controlled from the TEMS

1 Passive mode measurement is also possible with TEMS Pocket Professional, where a

different set of services is supported; see section 7.11.


Automatic Operator Console, an easy-to-use Windows® application. The user of the TEMS Pocket Remote device does not have to assist in controlling the device in any way.

Controlling TEMS Pocket Remote units from the TEMS Automatic Operator Console

From the Operator Console a TEMS Automatic system administrator manages all TEMS Pocket Remote devices, supervising their current status and assigning them work orders. Supported work order actions for TEMS Pocket Remote devices are:

• FTP, uplink, and downlink

• Voice call

• Idle measurements

• HTTP measurement

• Streaming

Work orders are assigned to TEMS Pocket Remote devices by a simple drag-and-drop action in the Operator Console.

In order to preserve the privacy of the TEMS Pocket Remote user, it is possible when necessary to deactivate all TEMS Pocket Remote functions by changing a setting directly in the phone.



If a TEMS Pocket Remote device has been turned off, it is possible to set up a notification in the Operator Console informing the administrator that the device has been unavailable for a specified length of time.

8.3. Measurement

TEMS Pocket Remote measurements are performed in the background without disturbing the user of the device. The data is temporarily stored on the phone device, which will then upload the information to the TEMS Automatic database, according to its configuration settings and without any user interaction.

The data captured by TEMS Pocket Remote units is just as detailed as data collected with other tools in the TEMS product portfolio. This means that when it comes to post-processing, the TEMS Pocket Remote data is every bit as useful as data from other sources.

Presenting TEMS Pocket Remote data in TEMS Presentation

Network statistics faithfully reflecting how end-users experience the network can be distilled from data collected with TEMS Pocket Remote. This can furthermore be done without any interference with the phone user’s actions.

The TEMS Pocket Remote package makes it easy to add more measurement probes to an existing TEMS Automatic system, capturing network data in areas that are off-limits to traditional drive testing.
