To be the top in your field you have to be professional in usage its tools and
in our field [Drive test] which is the first step in Network optimization and
make fine tuning for it to enhance its performance, our used tools are
MapInfo, TEMS, Excel, Word, Power point, Access.
So in this paper we will introduce how to start working with TEMS program
and how to configure its windows to suite your work.
GSM Page:
Basic windows used during Drive Test
Hint:
There is a difference between Information Element & Event where the
first indicate a Network parameter such as RX level and quality, carrier
to interference ration, bit error rate, adaptive multi rate, signal quality
index and more.
But the Event is an event occurs during the call establishment such as
HO or HO failure, location area update, call setup, call blocked and
more.
¾ Adjust your Events you want to see during call.
Actually we select all events then removed undesired events such that
the used events are:
¾ Check your Events pictures and each event represented in its
corresponding picture.
¾ There is no additional information are added.
¾ Right click on the Line chart and select chart 2 then press on edit
chart.
¾ From the first window which contains information elements add
those IEs:
• RX QUAL SUB
• SQI
Where the first one refer to the received signal quality which is
proportional to the BER & FER of the received signal, the second
item indicate the signal quality index which give an identifier (index)
represents the quality of the signal “very good, good, bad, very bad”
which will be discussed after that.
¾ Adjust the appearance of each information element such that its color
can be seen and you can differentiate it with another color as follows:
¾ Adjust your limits as follows:
For the RX QUAL SUB: upper limit is 7 and lower limit is 0.
For SQI: the upper limit is 30 and lower limit is -20.
¾ This window can appear into your workspace from this path:
Presentation>> Positioning >> GPS.
• Handset Control
¾ This window can appear into your workspace from this path:
Presentation>> Interference >> C/I.
Note:
¾ TEMS is divided into 8 main pages each is responsible for
certain function as we will mention later.
The main objective from this page is to open your site map
which from you can see:
- Your site location & your current location using GPS
connection.
- Site structure (Number of Antennas, Azimuth).
- Neighbor sites.
- Roads & streets you have to move within to test your site
coverage and checking HO occurrence.
• Open a Map
¾ When we move to the Map page we will see it empty as
follows:
¾ you
¾ Open Presentation >> Positioning >> Map
¾ By clicking on the icon which located on the tool bar like the
pyramids you can add your desired maps (sites map, roads,
Niles).
• Add a Map
¾ After adding the worldwide map you can add your
desired maps on by clicking on the icon like pyramids which
located on the tool bar.
¾By zooming in into your map, you can see the map details.
¾ Click add equipment icon (+) then select your device type
and the port you connect it on.
¾ For the test mobile used in test kit is T610 and the GPS is
NMEA 0183 & for the port selection you have to have a
PCMCIA card that contains 2 serial ports for the connection
of mobile and GPS and after define it to the windows you
will see that there are additional 2 ports where you can
select one for mobile and the other for GPS.
¾ After selecting each device you will se its icon and the port
it defined for, if there is conflicting in the port number in the
PCMCIA card and your definition you can auto search for
the connected device by clicking on the icon named by (
Identify equipment).
¾ also you have to select the ports you will use by the TEMS
software by clicking on the icon named by (i) port properties
and select 3 ports where one will use for dongle second for
test mobile and third for GPS.
• Cell definition file and General windows
¾ for the Cell definition file it’s used to make DT is more
easier where we use a cell definition file (file.cel) by
uploading it we can know the current serving cell and its
neighbors.
Hint:
Where this will make automatic swapping for the files after
each is reach 30000 SACH massage “approximately 5 MB
byte in size”.
