3 Test Cases
3.1

Voice MOS Test

3.1.1 Preparations

Both UE locked into WCDMA mode (by dialing *#2263# and choose WCDMA
Band preference -> WCDMA ALL)

Both UE mobile data switch is OFF

Obtain the Huawei supplied test plan XML file.

Obtain complete MOS test kit from Huawei engineer. The kit consists an ESI Maya 44
USB+ MOSCard and two specially made test cables

3.1.2 Principle

The laptop running GENEX Probe test plan is the central controller for the test
The MOS card is an external sound card connected to laptop via USB cable. It either
converts digital sound file to analog signal, or wise versa
During the test calls, the laptop/Probe plays a sound file through MOS card + cable to the
MO (call originating) UE, which is played via its microphone input to the MT (call
terminating) UE
The MT UE receives this sound played by the MO UE, and from its earphone output it
sends this sound back to laptop/Probe via MOS card + cable
MOS card converts this analog signal back into a digital sound file, and Probe compares
the recorded file to the original file
Using a special algorithm, it determines the similarity/quality of the recorded file to the
original file, and gives a score between 0 to 5
The higher the score, the closer resemblance the recorded file is to the original file, which

also indicates a better the RF/wireless environment

3.1.3 Test Setup

1.

Install the driver for Maya 44 USB+ MOSCard

a) Visit http://www.esi-audio.com/products/maya44usb+/
b) Find and download the driver for test laptops OS:

c) Install the driver, after installation, the ESI control panel will appear in taskbar
notification area.

2.

Double click to open and it should look similar to below:

Complete equipment setup

a) Connect the two special test cables to the MOSCard:

Cable1: RED goes to one of OUT ports; default port is 1, others can also be used
Cable2: BLACK goes to one of IN ports; default port is 1, others can also be used
Note: for each cable, only use one of the two RCA plugs; never plug both RCA plugs
from the same cable into MOS card

b) Connect the two special test cables to the UEs:

Cable 1: 3.5mm plug connect to MO UE (call originating)
Cable 2: 3.5mm plug connect to MT UE (call terminating)

c) Connect the MOS Card, and both test UEs to the laptop via supplied USB cables
When MOS card is connected to the laptop, the ESI control panel will be enabled:

Note: by default
INPUT gain = 0dB for all 4 channels
MONITOR gain = 0dB & muted for all 4 channels
OUTPUT gain = 0dB for all 4 channels
To properly conduct test and obtain reasonable MOS score, the OUTPUT gain needs
to be adjusted, change the gain of OUTPUT channel in-use to a predefined value;
please consult Huawei DT analysis engineer/leader from your market for the exact
value used in each test.

3.1.4 Test Plan Configuration

a) Launch GENEX Probe
b) In Device Configuration, Configure both UE
c) Configure the MOSCard
Under model, choose MAYA44 USB+
d) Configure the USB GPS or scanner
Note: if UE or GPS is configured correctly, when clicking Test Port button

, the

State shown should be Enable

e) Establish connection of UE, MOSCard and GPS to GENEX Probe by clicking
Connect
f)
