Organization
1 New Features of the Probe V200R003
This section describes the new features of Probe V200R003.
2 Overview of the Probe
The Probe is an air interface test software, which is used to collect the test data of the air interface
of the GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+, CDMA2000 1x/EV-DO, WiMAX, and
LTE network. Through the Probe, the network performance can be evaluated, the network
optimization can be guided, and the fault can be rectified. The collected test data of the air
interface on the radio network can be saved as the test logfile. This facilitates the data analysis
after the logfile is imported to other post-processing software (such as GENEX Assistant) or the
later data replaying.
3 Installing the Probe
This section describes how to install the Probe and other assistants. To complete the installation
of the Probe, you only need to run the installation program and then perform operations as
prompted by the installation wizard.
4 Starting the Probe
Once installed, the Probe application can be launched from the Start menu or the shortcut icon.
5 Managing the Map Window
The map window displays map-related information in a test area and counter information such
as cell information, event information, and IE information on the drive test route. You can add
a layer, configure layer properties, and configure the legend properties of the IE layer in the map
window.
6 Managing Engineering Parameters

Issue 04 (2011-02-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential v

About This Document User Guide

This chapter describes engineering parameters of different network systems supported by the
Probe and the method for importing engineering parameters. You can learn about the details of
base station parameters, antenna parameters, neighboring cell parameters, and various
technology parameters of the current test area through the engineering parameters.

7 Connecting External Devices

Connecting external devices involves connecting external devices to the PC and in the Probe,
so that the external devices can work with the Probe to perform tests. When you use the Probe
to replay data, you need not connect external devices.

8 Collecting Data

The Probe collects the air interface test data through the test terminal and other external devices
and records test data in logfiles. Before collecting the data, make sure that a computer installed
with the Probe, the test terminal, the scanner, and the GPS are available and the dongle must be
plugged in. You can also import engineering parameters for different network systems and map
files, which helps to provide a vivid view of test data.

9 Managing Logfiles

During tests, test data is saved in .gen files that are called logfiles. This chapter describes how
to record, replay, segment, and export logfiles.

10 Managing View Windows

This section describes how to view data in view windows and how to configure properties of
view windows. View windows are key windows of the Probe. You can view IEs, events, Layer
2 or Layer 3 messages, and statistical values of indicators in view windows.

11 Typical Application

This section describes typical test methods supported by the Probe.

12 Interface Reference of the Probe

This describes the interface and parameters of the Probe. You can refer to these parameters when
you collect, view, and replay the data through the Probe.

13 FAQs

This describes the problems that may occur during the use of the software and the corresponding
causes. This also describes how to solve these problems. This also describes the using skills.

14 Appendix

This describes the test items, information elements (IEs), predefined events, and keyboard
shortcuts supported by the Probe. You can refer to these parameters when you collect or view
data through the Probe.

Speech Quality Evaluation Test


Based on Probe V200R002, Probe V200R003 enhances the speech quality evaluation tests. The
speech quality evaluation tests are categorized into the following types:

l Synchronous speech quality evaluation test


One Probe is configured with the two PHU terminals. The Probe performs the synchronous
speech quality evaluation test by enabling a PHU terminal to call the other PHU terminal.
During the test, the calling PHU terminal plays speech samples and the called PHU terminal
records result files so that the uplink and downlink MOSs are obtained. For details, see
Figure 1-1. In this case, only the test plan for the calling PHU terminal needs to be
configured.
l Asynchronous speech quality evaluation test
The Probe is installed on two PCs. Each Probe is configured with a PHU terminal. The
Probes perform the asynchronous speech quality evaluation test by enabling the two PHU
terminals to call each other. During the test, the calling and called PHU terminals record
and play speech files alternatively so that each Probe records the MOS. For details, see
Figure 1-2. In this case, the test plans for the calling and called PHU terminals need to be
configured separately.
l Speech quality evaluation test between the MS and the PSTN SQE Server
For two PCs, one is configured with the Probe that is configured with a PHU terminal, and
the other is configured with the PSTN SQE Server. The Probe performs the speech quality
evaluation test between an MS and the PSTN SQE Server by enabling the PHU terminal
to call the PSTN SQE Server or the PSTN SQE Server to call the PHU terminal. During
the test, the calling party plays voices and the called party records voices so that the MOS
is obtained. For details, see Figure 1-3. In this case, the test plans for the calling and called
parties need to be configured separately.

5.1 Basic Concepts About Maps


This section describes the basic concepts about maps. It is recommended that you perform
relevant operations in the map window to learn the relevant concepts of maps.

Map
The map consists of a series of map elements and involves the MapInfo map and the raster map.
The map information is displayed in the map window on the Probe. The map information
includes the map information about the test area, test routes, events, and engineering parameters.
l MapInfo map
A MapInfo map consists of multiple layers, and each layer is saved in a file. The files
supported by the MapInfo map are in .tab or .gst (GeoSet) format. A GeoSet is a special
type of workspace used for map layers and saves the configurations including layer order,
labels, and legends.
l Raster map
The entire raster map can be considered as a layer. The raster map supported by the
Probe is in .tif, .bmp, .jpg, .gif, or .png format.

Layer
A layer is a set of data displayed in the map window. There are two main types of layers: map
layers and indicator layers.
l A map consists of multiple map layers.
l An indicator layer includes the information related to events, IEs, and cells.
A layer may contain multiple objects. For example, a map layer contains all the roads and water
areas on the map; a cell layer (see Figure 5-1) contains multiple engineering parameters.

parameter cannot be imported.
l In the case of the optional fields, you can perform the match operation according to the
actual situation. If the optional field is not matched, the Probe does not import the data in
the corresponding column as the engineering parameter.
l Neighboring cells are classified into horizontal neighboring cells and vertical neighboring
cells.
– Horizontal neighboring cell
The engineering parameter fields of the serving cell and the cell fields are in the same
line of the same table. Horizontal neighboring cells support only the GSM network
system. In this case, engineering parameter fields contain neighboring cell fields.
– Vertical neighboring cell
Each line in the table indicates a neighboring cell relation. Vertical neighboring cells
support the GSM, WCDMA, WiMAX, and LTE network systems. In this case,
engineering parameter fields do not contain neighboring cell fields, and you need to
import the corresponding engineering parameter when importing a neighboring cell.
NOTE

In the case of importing vertical neighboring cell fields, pay attention to the following points:
l In GSM network system, LAC and CI of the engineering parameter field must be matched, and
NLAC and NCI of the neighboring cell field must be matched.
l In WCDMA network system, RNCID and CellID of the engineering parameter field must be matched,
and NRNCID and NcellID of the neighboring cell field must be matched.
l In WiMAX network system, BSID of the engineering parameter field must be matched, and NBSID
of the neighboring cell field must be matched.
l In LTE network system, CellID and PCI of the engineering parameter field must be matched, and
NcellID and NPCI of the neighboring cell field must be matched.

7 Connecting External Devices

About This Chapter

Connecting external devices involves connecting external devices to the PC and in the Probe,
so that the external devices can work with the Probe to perform tests. When you use the Probe
to replay data, you need not connect external devices.

7.1 Connectable External Devices


The Probe supports various types of external devices, such as test terminal, scanner, and GPS.
This describes the types and specifications of external devices used in the data collection.
7.2 Plugging in External Devices
Before a test is performed, ensure that the external devices are properly plugged into the PC and
are correctly positioned.
7.3 Configuring External Devices
This section describes how to configure external devices. After external devices are connected
to the PC installed with the Probe, you need to add and configure related parameters in the
Device Configure window of the Probe so that external devices work with the Probe to collect
data.
7.4 Enabling External Devices
Enabling external devices refers to connecting external devices in the Probe so that the Probe
can recognize the configured external devices.
7.5 Selecting the Data to Be Collected
Selecting the data to be collected refers to the process in which the Probe selectively collects
the data reported by test terminals. In this case, the logfile records only the selected data. For
the data that is frequently read, you can set data sampling intervals. This avoids the receipt of
redundant data and increases the speed of reading data.
7.6 Configuring Device Alarms
The Probe generates alarm in dialog box or voice mode, when the device is unexpectedly
disconnected or the signal strength of the GPS is weak. You can set alarm events or alarm modes
for special situations.

About This Chapter

During tests, test data is saved in .gen files that are called logfiles. This chapter describes how
to record, replay, segment, and export logfiles.

9.1 Recording Logfiles


The logfile recorded during a test is used for replaying the test process or import the related data
into the GENEX Assistant for further analysis. If the logfile recording is performed for an
outdoor test, the Probe will automatically save a .tab file with the same name of the recorded
logfile to store the GPS information.
9.2 Segmenting Logfiles
You can segment logfiles as required. You can record logfiles of different sizes or different
periods in different files for better management. The Probe supports automatic logfile
segmentation and manual logfile segmentation. Automatic logfile segmentation had better be
performed before the logfile is recorded, and manual logfile segmentation should be performed
when the logfile is recorded.
9.3 Replaying Logfiles
The purpose of replaying logfile is to reproduce the drive test process. Replay logfile does not
require the dongle. Before replaying logfile, you can preview the drive test route and the key
events in the map window. During a replay, you can adjust the replay rate and specify the start
point for the replay. You can open only one logfile at a time.
9.4 Exporting Logfiles
This describes how to export logfiles. You can convert a logfile to a binary file, .txt file containing
separators, or an MDM file and convert a PHU file to a logfile for future analysis.

11.2.4 Conducting the GSM Forcing Function Test


This describes how to test the forcing functions of the GSM. The forcing functions include the
handover feature, ARFCN control, band control, and cell bar access (CBA) inversion. The
handover features must be performed on the MS in dedicated state. The ARFCN control and
band control must be performed in idle state.

Prerequisite
Test terminals are connected, and the Probe can enable the test terminals. For details, see 7.4
Enabling External Devices.

Issue 04 (2011-02-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 11-9

11 Typical Application User Guide

Context
l Handover feature
The handover feature consists of forcing handover and forbid handover. The forcing
handover is used to check whether the neighboring relation between cells is added properly.
The forbid handover is used to measure the coverage range of the newly constructed site.
The forcing handover and forbid handover are independent of each other.
– If the forbid handover is successfully performed, the MS in dedicated state is not
switched until the MS is disconnected from the network.
– If the forcing handover is successfully performed and the neighboring relation between
the serving cell and the neighboring cells is normal, the MS can be switched to the
destination cell other than the non-destination cell.
l ARFCN control and band control
After the ARFCN is controlled in idle state, the system automatically prohibits the handover
if the MS originates a call. In such a case, the MS remains on the destination ARFCN. After
the band is controlled in idle state, the band is controlled in dedicated state. In such a case,
the system filters the neighboring cells of the non-destination band.
l CBA inversion
The CBA is a parameter set by the BSC in the GSM system and is used to control the access
of a cell. When the cell is under construction, the value of the CBA cannot be accessed by
common users. During this time, the MS can access the cell to verify the functions of the
newly-constructed cell through the CBA inversion function.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Test > Forcing Function > GSM Forcing Feature. The GSM Forcing Feature dialog
box is displayed.

For details about the parameters related to the GSM Forcing Feature dialog box, see 12.21

11.2.6 Conducting the LTE Forcing Function Test


This section describes how to perform the LTE forcing function test. The LTE forcing functions
consist of locking network, frequency band, cells, turning over the cell bar access (CBA), and
locking the transmit power of the PUSCH.

Prerequisite
The Probe is connected with UEs, and the UEs can be enabled by the Probe. For details, see 7.4
Enabling External Devices.

Context
l Locking the network
According to the mobile country code (MCC) and mobile network code (MNC), the UE
camps on a specific PLMN after the network is locked.
l Locking EARFCN and band
After the EARFCN is locked in idle state, the system automatically prohibits the handover
if the UE originates a call. In such a case, the UE remains on the destination EARFCN.
After the band is locked in idle state, the band is locked in dedicated state. In such a case,
the system filters the neighboring cells of the non-destination band.
l Locking a cell
According to the EARFCN and physical cell identity (PCI), the UE camps on a specific
serving cell after a cell is locked.
l Turning over the CBA
The CBA is a parameter configured for the LTE system to control whether the UE is allowed
to access a cell. When the cell is under construction, the CBA value indicates that the
common subscriber cannot access the cell. In this case, the UE can access this cell through
the CBA turn-over function to verify the functions of this cell.
l Locking the transmit power of the PUSCH
According to the transmit power of the PUSCH within the specified range, perform the
related operations. Then, the UE uses the constant transmit power to transmit signals and
the power control function does not take effect. In this case, the cell performance can be
evaluated.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Test > Forcing Function > LTE Forcing Feature. The LTE Forcing Feature dialog
box is displayed.

For details about the parameters in the LTE Forcing Feature dialog box, see 12.21 Parameters
for Testing the Forcing Feature of the GSM.

CompressedMo- Compressio Before the hard handover (including the intra-frequency


deActivation n mode hard handover, inter-frequency hard handover, and inter-
activation system hard HO), the network sends the Measurement
Control message to activate the compression mode, and
then performs the measurement.

CompressedMod Compressio The network sends the Measurement control message to


eDeActivation n mode notify the UE of activating the compression mode, and
deactivation then performs the measurement before hard handover. If
the cell measured in compression mode does not meet the
requirements for the hard handover, the network sends the
Measurement Control message to notify the UE of
deactivating the compression mode within the specified
time, and then activates the compression mode again. If
the cell is qualified, the hard handover is performed. The
UE automatically deactivates the compression mode after
the hard handover is successful.

Working Principles of the PSTN SQE Server


This describes working principles of the PSTN SQE Server. The PSTN SQE Server supports
the speech quality evaluation test on the uplink and downlink. By interacting with the PHU test
terminal, the PSTN SQE Server performs the speech quality evaluation test. During the test, the
PSTN SQE Server or Probe records the speech result files, performs the MOS analysis in real
time, and then displays the MOS values. Thus, you can easily locate the speech quality problems
on the radio network.

Speech Evaluation on the Uplink


The PHU test terminal plays a speech sample through the air interface. Then, the PSTN SQE
Server receives the played speech sample through the PSTN and records the speech sample in
the destination file. Thus, the uplink MOS value is obtained according to the speech result file
and the speech sample through the PESQ algorithm, as shown in Figure 14-2. Table 14-4
describes Figure 14-2.

(.gen file). Through the logfile, you can easily browse and analyze data.

Project The PSTN SQE Server is used to manage test items based on the project. A
maximum of eight speech channels can be configured in a project. Multiple
test tasks can be configured for each speech channel.

Test task A test task consists of test items provided by the system. You can configure
test tasks as required. The test task can provide guidelines for the speech
quality test during the drive test.

Event The PSTN SQE Server provides the events of the speech quality evaluation.
These events indicate the status of the speech quality evaluation test. You
can browse predefined events in the SpeechView window.

Channel This is an emulation interface of a voice card, which is used to connect to


the telephone cable of the PSTN.

PESQ This is an international standard algorithm of the perceptual evaluation of


speech quality. You can evaluate the speech quality by comparing the
original speech sample with the fading speech file. The result of the
evaluation is the MOS value.

MOS The MOS is a subjective evaluation method adopting the ITU-T P.830
protocol. According to the requirements of the P.830 protocol, a specified
talker and listener in the specified environment analyze the speech quality
by collecting the objective feelings of the tested person in different scenarios.

Recording The PSTN SQE Server receives the speech sample played on the test
terminal through the PSTN, and then records the speech sample in the
destination file.

Playing The PSTN SQE Server plays the speech sample through the PSTN network.
