Difference between Scanner and Mobile Measurements

✓ Ability to scan and measure coverage/quality for all ✓ Mobile only measures signals from the cells that the
supported carriers/frequencies (operator/technology system has informed / ordered the mobile through the
benchmarking with 1 device) neighbor list or via the “measurement control” message

✓ Used for model tuning of coverage prediction when ✓ Mobile can make application testing (voice, video, file
building a new network (CW) transfer, web browsing, Youtube streaming, Facebook,
etc.)
✓ Interference measurements, band clearance, UL
interference, frame timing, frequency error ✓ Mobile can analyse signaling and measure parameters
related to NW implementation
✓ During optimization, used to identify and understand
reasons for peculiar behavior discovered during field
measurements done by mobile (missing neighbor, pilot
pollution, etc.)

Nemo FSR1 Overview Benefits Use case Tech spec

Why frequency scanning

✓ Detecting interference from other sources and out of band
(Spectrum Analysis mode, Band Scan), spectrum
clearance
✓ Coverage prediction during network build up (CW
measurements for network planning tools) for outdoor
and indoor
✓ BTS-eNodeB frequency error detection , frame timing
detection (Time offset)
✓ Co-channel and adjacent channel interference detection
✓ CINR measurement per each sub band (PRB) of a carrier
(LTE) for interference detection
✓ Simultaneous WB and NB measurements (LTE) for
interference analysis
✓ UL interference measurements (Wide Band DC required)
✓ Pilot Pollution detection (no dominance)
✓ Missing neighbor detection/Neighbor list planning &
planning handover zones
✓ Cross feeder analysis, overshooting
✓ MIMO performance prediction
✓ Benchmarking measurements between operators and
technologies

coverage, performance
Customer need
✓ Operator needs to benchmark the
quality of their network in
comparison to competition
✓ Results need to be absolute
minimizing the impact that could
come from using phones and
differences in their performance
Overview Benefits Use case Tech spec
Solution Benefit
✓ Customer purchased Nemo Invex II ✓ One test drive gives all needed
for benchmarking all technologies data with required accuracy
and for all operators in one drive
✓ To close out performance issues
coming from devices, operator
connects 2 scanners to the
measurement setup
✓ The scanners provide more +
accurate picture of coverage and
interference in the network
✓ Smartphone level accuracy
is +/- 4-5 dB in idle mode (8-
9dB when in active mode,
i.e. application in use, due to
additional interference)
✓ Scanner level accuracy is +/-
1 dB in all conditions

optimizing
Customer need
✓ In the process of network
optimization, the operator needs to
understand issues such as missing
neighbor, cross-feeder,
overshooting, pilot pollution,
external interference
Solution
✓ Operator takes into use Keysight’s
Nemo Outdoor drive test solution
connected to a Nemo FSR1 scanner
and two phones
Benefit
✓ Combining the traditional drive test
data coming from measurements
via devices with data coming
measurement with the scanner
enables to operator to thoroughly
analyze coverage and interference

samples
LTE MIMO measurements
✓ When TX0 is sending Reference
Signal, TX1 is not transmitting.
When TX1 is sending Reference
Signal, TX0 is not transmitting.

✓ Thus, Reference Signal

measurements (Power, Quality)
can be done by a single receiver

✓ E-NodeB’s transmission power

level and quality of each MIMO TX
port (2 or 4 TX ports) can be
measured by a SISO or MIMO DC

✓ For 2x2 MIMO measurements,

where Condition Number and Rank
Estimation are required, a dual
receiver with a MIMO antenna are
needed.

LTE MIMO measurements
✓ MIMO measurements with SISO DC
and single RX antenna:
✓ TX0/1/2/3-RX0 signal paths
can be measured
independently for level and
quality (2x1/4x1 MIMO)
✓ MIMO CN and Rank estimation
cannot be measured, since
only 1 RX antenna

✓ MIMO measurements with MIMO

DC or 2x SISO DCs (2 RX
antennas):
✓ TX0/1/2/3-RX0/1 signal paths
can be measured
independently for level and
quality (2x2/4x2 MIMO)
✓ MIMO CN and Rank estimation
become available (2x2 MIMO
only)
