TEMS™ Paragon
Streamlined Solution for Internal & Competitive Benchmarking
• What is TEMS Paragon?

• TEMS Paragon is multi-device, streamlined solution primarily for

comparing network performance across devices and operators, used
in drive-testing scenarios yet designed to function with limited driver
interaction with the system.

• Why TEMS Paragon?

• TEMS Paragon helps RF engineering departments reduce OPEX

associated with network testing by providing a streamlined, highly-
efficient solution for internal and competitive benchmarking, designed
to minimize driver interaction, reduce the number of RF engineers
required in the field, and enable project completion in less time with
no rework.

Information elements and events - considerations

• Implementation of Information elements and

events is dependent on ICD content
• Incremental implementation depending on
requirements and ICD updates
• In some cases information can be seen in the
mode reports prior to the implementation of an
Information Element

Example:“NR TopN Signal Scan Response”

 Importance of full data integrity (raw / refined)
TEMS
Raw data storage brings flexibility

• To exchange data easily with

other tools (e.g. QXDM/QCAT)

• Data manipulation/post-
processing in a user defined
way as original data is stored
in log files
QCAT
• Possibility to re-use data even
if decoder requires updating

• Time spend drive testing is not

lost
Exchanging log files across other commercial tools has been highly appreciated in 5G trials globally!

Automation
Automate and reduce the time associated with
the data processing function, from file import,
to script execution, categorization of problem
sets, to the generation and sharing of reports.
Analytics
Make sense of the data collected from the
network by analyzing measurements and
then visualizing this information using GIS
mapping, and other visualization methods.
Customization
Customize and share the most up-to-date
scripts and reports in order to standardize
processes, share best practices, and improve
ways of working across the organization
Reporting
Easily create reports that include both

NR serving cell/beam measurements.
5G NR Analysis – Reporting

TEMS Discovery comes with

predefined reports for ready-
made evaluation of 5G NR
scanner and UE measurements.
TEMS Discovery 5G NR Scanner Report

Per NRARFCN overview delivers

summary stats including RP, RQ and
SINR averages of primary and
secondary synchronization signals.

Separate report tab is generated for

every measured NRARFCN including
additional scanner measurements
rendered with standard descriptive
statistics (Min, Max, StDev, Median,
25%-ile, 15%-ile, 5%-ile).
TEMS Discovery 5G NR Scanner Report

Per NRARFCN tab includes RP, RQ

and SINR statistics calculated for
each distinct Top #1 cell and Top #1
sync beam.

Per NRARFCN tab comes with

comprehensive collection of maps
and PDF/CDF charts of scanner
measurements.
TEMS Discovery 5G NR UE Report

NR vs. LTE statistical overview provides side-

by-side comparison between two technologies
in terms of RF conditions, channel state and
throughput.
TEMS Discovery 5G NR UE Report

Per cell and per SSB beam tabs include

RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, PUSCH Tx power and
physical throughput statistics calculated for
each distinct serving cell and SSB beam.
TEMS Discovery 5G NR UE Report

‘Maps’ tab comes with comprehensive

collection of maps and PDF/CDF
charts of NR and LTE measurements.
Report Generation

Pre-defined or custom report template

can be manually generated on project,
generic dataset, composite dataset or
file level for immediate output.

Reports can be generated automatically

via ADP (Automated Data Processing)
option at a scheduled time or upon
completion of automated data import.
Report Builder
Report design option for full customization of
report output.
All pre-defined and custom (scripted) metrics
and events supported.
Full array of report element types (tables,
charts, maps, etc.) and statistical attributes.
Comprehensive data filtering options.
Full integration of online maps (Google, Bing)
and standard GIS formats.
MS Excel, Word and Power Point output
format.
Script Builder

Comprehensive C# scripting environment

allows users to generate new metrics,
events or filtering criteria from pre-defined
information elements or L3 signaling.
User-defined metrics and events
automatically available in all system views
and Report Builder.
Allows highly customized analysis and
problem identification.
Automation Options

ADP (Automated Data Processing) option

allows for automated monitoring and
processing of user data followed by
automated content generation.
ADP output can include pre-defined and
user-defined reports and problem summary,
metric map export (.mif/.mid, .kml, .kmz) and
metric tabular export (.txt).
ADP output can be generated periodically at
a scheduled time or upon completion of
automated data import.
