2 New collection device or technology support

2.1 Accuver support

In GSM, an issue has been fixed that caused Analyzer to set inconsistent
values decoded from the RR System Information Type 3 message.
In VoLTE, a problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from
setting correct values for the MOS attributes.

2.2 Ascom TEMS support

Added support for Hisilicon chipset (LTE only).

Scanner message "Top N Pilot Scan Response" was not supported for
CDMA technology, and Analyzer could crash when attempting to decode
the message.
Resolved a problem in the decoding of the message "TopN Pilot Scan
Response" that could cause Analyzer to crash when the message
included SIB information elements.
An issue has been fixed that prevented LTE/UMTS R&S Scanner
attributes (TSMW model) from being correctly set.
In LTE DRT scanner logs, a decode issue has been fixed that caused
wrong indexing and ordering of the relevant LTE scanner attributes.

2.3 Cosmos Monitor F-02E support

An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from loading some
Cosmos Monitor log files.

2.4 Ding Li support

In GSM, support was added for C/I in iPhone4S log files. Related
attributes are: ServC2I and C2I_by_ARFCN.
A problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer form setting
several UMTS attributes (RSCP, EcN0, etc.) in Ding Li CQT log files.

2.5 Focus Infocom support

Added support for LTE.

Improvements have been made in the support of POLQA/Speech
quality, MAC/L1 application throughput and Data Service Analysis
relevant attributes.

2.6 Qualcomm support

Added initial support for Carrier Aggregation (LTE Advanced). A set

of new attributes has been added in Attribute Explorer under the LTEAdv folder (as shown in the screenshot below):

Issue: The Carrier Aggregation attributes are not set correctly when
LTFM is enabled.

2.7 Swissqual support

Added support for Rohde & Schwarz UMTS scanner.

2.8 IP support

In VoLTE, a problem has been fixed that could cause the IP direction
attribute to be set incorrectly for SIP and RTP packets, causing
important attributes such as packet loss and jitter to be missing.
In VoLTE, we now set a new attribute, VoIP_Session_ID, in order to
uniquely identify a VoIP call (SIP and RTP messages). If both MT and
MO calls are logged, this attribute will be the same for both sides
(Calling and Called UEs).
In VoLTE, we added IPv6 support for the attributes listed below:
FTP_DataTransfer_MobilePort
TCP_Data_Packet
TCP_AcknowledgeNumberDL_Stalled_Event
TCP_InterPacketDelayDL_Data
TCP_Relative_AcknowledgeNumberDL_Data
TCP_Relative_AcknowledgeNumberUL_Data
TCP_Relative_SequenceNumberDL_Data
TCP_Relative_SequenceNumberUL_Data

2.9 Generic

A problem has been resolved that caused Analyzer to detect false LTE
call drops in case the UE is instructed to report the CGI information to
the eNodeB.
An issue has been fixed that could cause Analyzer to detect false LTE
drops when a CDMA Idle protocol message occurs.

3 Application layer improvements

None.

4 Platform improvements

An issue has been fixed that could cause Analyzer to hang when loading
Swissqual files in a Spotlight Project when multi-threading
functionality is enabled.
Added support for Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) in the search for
cell feature.
