The QualiPoc Remote Control system architecture contains the following components:
QualiPoc unit: Standard Android OS-based consumer mobile phone with SwissQual firmware and QualiPoc software to run the measurements. The QualiPoc software loads a job configuration and starts the measurement, starts the trace interface, provides GPS data, and opens a measurement file. The software starts automatically when you turn on the phone and remains active to enable communication
between the other QualiPoc Remote Control components and to start measurements on time. After the measurement completes, QualiPoc uploads the measurement files to an FTP server and informs NQView about the status of the device. If
available, QualiPoc also provides network and position information. The unit also
contains a watchdog service that automatically restarts QualiPoc if the application
stops working. If the application restart does not solve the problem, the service
restarts the phone and then QualiPoc.
SwissQual...QualiPoc
Introduction
Overview
NQWeb (optional): Web application to define routine jobs, which are scheduled to
run at a specified time. NQWeb performs jobs such as importing measurement files
into NQDI or sending an Email to inform you of a failed test. For more information,
see the Manual - NQWeb.pdf document.
NQComm Service: NQComm runs as a service on your computer to provide communication and file transfers to and from the QualiPoc units through an FTP server.
NQComm periodically polls the NQView database for new configuration files or
jobs and uploads the new files to an FTP server. NQComm also periodically polls
the FTP Server for new files from the QualiPoc units and downloads the files to a
folder that you specify in NQView. NQComm parses and stores status and device
information from the status files in the NQView database. NQComm can also send
an 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 the
QualiPoc 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 units
for small amounts of information. This service informs the QualiPoc unit of new files
on the FTP-Server and also transmits special commands from NQComm to QualiPoc.
Voice Call Server: Provides Mobile Originated Calls (MOC), Mobile Terminated
Calls (MTC) and speech quality assessment in downlink and uplink.
