Introduction WHATS TEMS TEMS = T t M bil System Test Mobile S t Product by ERICSSON , p , Solution Tools for Wireless Network to Plan, optimized, and expand their systems. A Test tool use to read and control information sent over the air Interface between the base station and the mobile station in GSM /cellular system. It can also used for radio coverage measurement

TEMS
Laptop Notes : -power supply needed, usually using inverter in the car fro laptop, GPS and MS -GPS should use external antenna -MS can use external antenna or not use external antenna. (Use external antenna means measure RxLevel Pedestrian / Street Level) (Not use external antenna means measure RxLevel In car level) -> more realistic result If using scenario not external antenna, MS position should be carefully chosen and stable during drive test
As Drive Test Tools MODE OF DRIVE TEST 1. Dedicated / Continuous / Long Call Mode
Making continuous call along drive test activity. Before starting the route, call the drive test number, ex. 199 for Telkomsel, And only stop the call when the route (drive test) finish. To see the quality and coverage of the network
As Drive Test Tools MODE OF DRIVE TEST 3. Sequential / Qos / Short Call Mode
Creating the sequence of call along the drive test activity Before starting the route create call sequence, for example: Create call for 70 s and idle for 10 s. Along the drive test, play this sequence until the route is finished

How TEMS works? Several measurement is only available and recorded in idle mode (C1,C2 etc) Several measurement is only available and recorded in dedicated mode (RxQual, SQI, FER etc) This is happen because of GSM system network works not because setting in TEMS works, There are several option/feature can be activated by user (force handover, lock handover etc) which change TEMS measurement behavior IMPORTANT NOTICE : In GSM network there are a lot of parameters which change the network behavior, it is make the network very flexible. Due to this reason TEMS has ability to monitor network with parameters on (FULL mode) and reason, with parameters off (SUB mode) for such as RxLev and RxQual.
When using FULL measurement result? Whenever we want to see BTS parameters settings works at live network When using SUB measurement result ? Whenever we want to see BTS works without parameters How TEMS measure FULL or SUB measurement? TEMS record both SUB and FULL measurement at the same time and at the same log files it is files, just need to set what we wan to see in replay mode.

2. RxQual Received signal quality level, measured base on BER (bit error rate). The value is between 0-7, the lower the better.

3. SQI The parameter used by TEMS to measure Speech Quality. SQI has been designed to cover all factors that RxQual lack to measure. SQI computation considers the factors: the bit error rate (BER) the frame erasure rate (FER) data on handover events statistics on the distribution of these parameters p

Hopping Indicating if SFH implemented. See on Current Channel windows, on hopping channel, hopping frequencies, MAIO, HSN C/I The carrier-over-interference ratio is the ratio between the signal strength of the current serving cell and the signal strength of undesired (interfering) signal components. The C/I measurement function built into TEMS Investigation enables the identification of frequencies that are exposed to particularly high levels of interference, something which comes in useful in the verification and optimization of frequency plans. TA Timing Advance. Valid only in dedicated mode. ; To measure the distance of MS from serving cell. Valid only in dedicated mode. See on Radio Parameter windows.

Guidelines
Drive Test Types 1. Drive Test Continuous Route Drive Test is walk/ drive along the route non stop
2.
Hot Spots Measurement Drive Test only at certain spot (usually critical point), TEMS standing still, no movement for 1-5 15 minutes but still recording. Usually for scanning frequency or to investigate more detailed network behaviour
Guidelines
Drive Test Guideline 1. Preparation Don t Dont go to the field with a good preparation. Prepare the tools completeness maps, cars, preparation completeness, maps cars scenarios, sites data, knowing area we are heading. Check Tools Beside checking the tools completeness. Also check each tools if its working well, such as the GPS, inverter, handset, including SIM card. Some Rules Avoid to have the same route twice, or go on the same road twice. Beware of certain area, such as restricted area, one way street, traffic jam streets. Create simple/effective way of scenarios, where to start until finishing the route. Good cooperation with driver. Make sure the roads on the route, can represent the whole network as samples. Pay Attention Even if were only collecting data, we must focus on our activity. Avoid the things that can make us re-drive test , such as, data cable unplugged from its MS, forget to turn-off the GPRS mode when we dont need GPRS to measure, run out GPS batteries, forget to record, forget d h d t d t t b tt i f tt d f t the purpose of the drive test, assure the data collected is right, pay attention of car speed, create notes for special event, etc. Reporting and Analysis TEMS can divided as two, data collection and analysis. After drive test on the field, we must , y , provide data to be analyze and reported. Make sure we can create a good report and analyze well, by performing all of the points above.

Reporting Guidelines 1. Drive test report basically can be divided as two: Plot and Statistic.
BCCH: logfile
1 2 3
Statistics
Plot
2. 2
Before we can create the report make sure we have the right standard for each value report, reported. Such as how many ranges the treshold of RxLevel, and RxQual. The color ranges of SQI and FER, etc.
3.
Export the right data for Plotting. To create Plot report, for example we need the logfile to be mapinfo files. Make sure we have TEMS 4 above, that can directly export the logfile into mapinfo file. Or, if we have TEMS 3 below, make sure we have third-party software that can create it, such as GIMS.
4. For statistic report, usually we only need the excel file and some of mapinfo data. Each version of TEMS investigation can export the logfile into text file, *.fmt. This format can open , and manage with Microsoft Excel.
