Test & Measurement
At a glance time.
Key facts
JJ One software for all technologies: "all under one roof"
JJ Flexible handling of software licenses reduces startup
costs
JJ Parallel measurement with up to 16 mobile phones per
license; this saves time, allowing existing resources to be
utilized more effectively: reduction of operating expenses
(OPEX)
JJ Use of highly accurate, fast RF test and measurement
equipment (Rohde & Schwarz scanners):
many reliable measured values and results
JJ Automatic evaluation after completion of measurement
(and also replay): OPEX reduction
JJ Automatic identification of GSM interferences:
considerable OPEX reduction (up to 80 % potential
savings compared with standard analysis)

Multiple wizards help users to perform application tests
(e.g. an FTP download or http download) when configur-
ing a test mobile phone. In only three steps, the measure-
ment is ready to be started. After successfully loading the
drivers, R&S®ROMES4 automatically opens a selection of
important windows that display measured data.

Interference analysis The R&S®ROMES4 software allows interferences to be
determined automatically during the test drive. The actual
interferers can be displayed on the underlaid street map in
with interferer the "Route Track" view. This makes it considerably simpler
to use the software and perform tests, reducing costs dra-
matically in comparison with the traditional method.
The drive test report quickly shows whether there are any trouble spots.

Full overview of The basic functionality of R&S®ROMES4 in combination
with the drivers for test mobile phones provides a large
amount of information from layers 1 and 3. Users can thus
layer 1 and layer 3 see the radio conditions (GSM or WCDMA, channel, voice
codec, etc.) for phone calls at a glance.

Easy benchmarking The R&S®ROMES4 software can be used not only for
network optimization but also for competition analyses
and benchmarking. Especially for extensive tests involv-
ing many test mobile phones where multiple measure-
Requirements for benchmarking ment computers are used, R&S®ROMES4 with its multi-PC
R&S®ROMES4 architecture opens up new pathways. A multicomputer
R&S®ROMES4NET system can comprise a master and a number of clients.
Test mobile phone Two or more test phones can be connected to each client.
R&S®ROMES4WCQ (Qualcomm driver) or These phones are first configured by the client and then
R&S®ROMES4WCN (Nokia driver)
controlled by the master. The master also collects all mea-
sured data and stores it in a log file. An intelligent watch-
dog system monitors the connected devices and ensures
error-free operation. If any of the devices happen to fail,
the watchdog restarts them automatically without stop-
ping the overall system.

License server To provide easier and more flexible use of R&S®ROMES
licenses at separate sites, Rohde & Schwarz offers a central
license server. Users can download one or more licenses
for multiple use of from the server via the Internet and activate a generic
hardlock. The R&S®ROMES drive test software can then
be started with the activated licenses. The rented license

And all this can be done not just for one network
operator but also for several network operators in parallel.
Depending on the expected data rate and the existing net-
work structure, the R&S®ROMES4 measurement PC can
constitute a limitation in this scenario. This limitation can,
however, be eliminated by the R&S®ROMES4NET multi-
processor architecture option, so that an unlimited number
of networks can be measured at full performance.
