Features of Nemo Outdoor

Manual / Automated mode Channel Lock/ Scr. Code Lock Band Lock Cell Barring Timeslot Testing Missing Neighbor Detection Measurement list Data Measurement SMS/MMS Measurement Log File PlayBack

Manual / Automated mode

Manual mode is based on the user establishing a data transfer connection or making voice calls. This mode is useful, when user wants to make a single continuous data transfer session or a voice call to monitor the resource allocation and cell reselection performance. This mode requires the user to control phones with Nemo Outdoor. The user can also use the mobile keyboard to establish voice calls or data calls. In automated mode Script files can be used to automate testing. The Script file specifies how the phone will establish data connections or make phone calls, for example, the phone number to call, call duration, number of repetitions, and the delay between calls. The Script editor is used to generate the scripts.

Manual Mode
Under Manual Mode, you can control the functions of the UE by way of the Device command under the Device info panel. Under the Device Commands button, you will find the menu. The commands will be activated depending on the type of test mobile you are using. If your test mobile supports only voice calls, then only the first item is activated.

Automated mode
Under the Script item you will find premade scripts and user-defined scripts. Scripts can be used to perform measurements automatically instead of performing manual calls or data transfers. Double-click any of the scripts under the Scripts item to open the Script Editor dialog box. In order to select a script file to be used in a measurement, click the Device Settings button in the Device View window and select Script Properties.

Automated mode Synchronize Script Repeat

Useful with multi configurations e.g. when benchmarking different networks. Option can be selected from Configuration Manager/ Measurement. All mobiles start new data transfer or voice call always simultaneously. Number of data transfers attempts or call attempts etc. are equal -> statistics results are easy to compare.

Automated mode Without Synchronize Script Repeat

Without script Repeat Synchronized, all mobiles will start new data transfer or voice call after the failure.

Channel Lock/ Scr. Code Lock

You can lock GSM and UMTS test mobiles to a channel and/or scrambling code during the measurement process. Note that even though you are locking the mobile to a certain channel in idle mode, you are actually locking the mobile only to the base station supporting that channel at that moment if you make a call. As the base station can carry several channels simultaneously, the connection can be established or handed over to another channel but not to another base station. In other words, the channel used cannot be totally controlled by the mobile as the system will assign the channel.

Band Lock
You can use band locking if you want to compare how the network functions with different bands and systems. Using the Band Locking dialog box, you can force the mobile to use only one band or system at a time. You can open the Band Locking dialog box by clicking the Device Settings button and choosing Band Lock from the menu.

Cell Barring
With the Nemo Outdoor measurement mobiles you can also access barred cells. During the measurement you can select if you wish to access only those cells that are accessible to all end users (Accept), all cells; that is, also cells that are barred (Ignore), and only barred cells (Reverse). The Cell Barring dialog box is accessed by clicking the Device Settings button in the Device Info window of the appropriate mobile and selecting Cell Barring. You can also select Measurement | <device name> | Cell Barring.

Time Slot Testing

With Nemo Outdoor it is possible to test the time slots of any particular channel. After the test has been completed, Nemo Outdoor generates a .tst file with the test results in the Nemo Tools\Nemo Outdoor folder. Select Measurement | <device name> | Timeslot Testing and the Timeslot Test Configuration dialog box is opened. PhoneNumberdefines the test call number. This must be a valid number. RunTestUntilCompleted option keeps the test running until all the timeslots have been tested.
(Note that if you select the Run Test Until Completed option, the test may continue indefinitely. Click the Stop Testing button to interrupt the timeslot test.)

In the ChannelSettings|BCCHchannel you define the Channel (BCCH) that you want to test. Timeslots used by BCCH refers to the timeslots that are used for system messaging and therefore cannot be accessed with mobiles.

Time Slot Testing

On the Test results page you can view the progress of the test. Selecting timeslots will exclude them from the test. Green color indicates channels and their timeslots that have been called, and the number in the slot the number of calls made in that timeslot. In the table you can see a list of all the TCHs of the selected channel and their timeslots. There is a yellow frame around the timeslot that was accessed during the previous call. Those white timeslots that were not tested will turn red. This happens, for example, if the user stops the testing. The NumberofCallAttempts field tells how many calls have been made so far. Click the Stop testing button to interrupt the timeslot test.

Cell Test Feature for GSM/UMTS

Also called sleeping cell detection. UE is automatically locked to neighboring cells and the test call is made. Useful also in high traffic areas as surrounding cells can be tested from one location Test cases: Voice call, packet call or both Adjustable RX level and Ec/N0 thresholds Results can be stored in a file Test results seen also in the UI

(Nokia 612x) II

UE makes single HO to specified cell, returns back to the original cell

Measurement list
Measurement lists enable you to run automated measurements with several devices combining multiple scripts. You can use measurement lists with just one device to run several scripts one after another. Each measurement is recorded in a separate file. You can also use measurement lists in idle mode. Scheduled measurements displays a list of measurements that will be run when the measurement list is started. More... Filename defines the filename format. The default format is %y%b%d %H%M%S Measurement completion defines when the measurement list is finished. More... Devices table displays a list of devices connected to Nemo Outdoor. Script file defines the script file used in the measurement. Click the Script Editor button to edit the selected script. Properties opens the Measurement Properties - Script dialog.

Data Measurements
With mobiles supporting CS and PS data you can make data transfers. In Nemo Outdoor, you have several options for making data transfers: you can use the FTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, WAP, Streaming, ICMP Ping or Iperf (TCP/UDP). The Nemo Outdoor Multi device enables multiple simultaneous data connections. Each data transfer needs to be set up and configured individually.

Data Measurements FTP

Nemo Outdoor has an integrated FTP client, which can be used to measure data transfer rates between Nemo Outdoor and the FTP server. The server can be any standard FTP server. Current data throughput and transferred data size are reported during transfer. The FTP module supports firewall-friendly passive mode transfers. Normally when a data transfer is initialized, the server opens a new connection to the client and then data is transferred through this connection. Some firewalls may be configured to refuse any incoming connection requests, and in that case the data transfer would fail. With passive mode, the client always opens those new connections so the firewall does not block the connection.

Data Measurements FTP (Support for Multiple Simultaneous

Data Transfers with one Device) I
Possible to run multiple data transfers simultaneously with one device (within one PDP context). E.g. simultaneous DL/ UL or several DL data transfers Multiple simultaneously data testing can be done using script files Status of each data transfer is seen during measurement and playback

Data Measurements FTP (Support for Multiple Simultaneous

Data Transfers with one Device) II
Application rate is reported separately for each transfers including data transfer context ID RLC rate and PPP rate gives over all information on the total throughput over the network

Data Measurements HTTP

The HTTP testing functionality offers the possibility to test how data is transferred through the HTTP protocol.

Data Measurements - POP3/SMTP

POP3 and SMTP testing offers the possibility to send emails through Nemo Outdoor and to monitor how the message is transferred. POP3 protocol is used for receiving emails and SMTP protocol for sending emails.

Data Measurements WAP

The WAP testing functionality offers the possibility to test how data is transferred through the WAP protocol.

Data Measurements Streaming Quality

The Streaming testing functionality offers the possibility to test how data is transferred through the streaming. To make video streaming quality measurements, IP packet capturing must be enabled.

Data Measurements ICMP Ping I

The ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Ping functionality allows you to perform ping measurements simultaneously with data transfers.

Data Measurements ICMP Ping II

Ping rate configuration in milliseconds instead of seconds Delay between request: Protocol always waits reply before sending new request. If delay is less than ping delay new request is sent immediately after reply Delay from reply to request: New ping is sent after reply is received
Delay between requests

Ping request

Ping replay

Ping request

Delay from replay to request

Ping request

Ping replay

Ping request

Example: RTT time is 100ms and delay from reply to request is set to 1 s. New request is sent every 1.1s (100ms + 1000ms). If delay between request is selected new request is sent every 1000ms Example: RTT time is 100ms and delay from reply to request is set to 50ms. New request is sent every 150ms (100ms + 50ms). If delay between request is selected new request is sent every 100ms because protocol always wait reply before sending new request

Data Measurements Iperf (TCP/UDP)

Iperf is a commonly used network testing tool that can create TCP and UDP data streams and measure the throughput of a network that is carrying them.

SMS Measurements
SMS testing allows you to monitor how text messages are transferred in the network. Open the SMS Testing dialog box by clicking the SMS Testing Properties button in the Measurement Properties, Configuration tab (Measurement | <device name> | Measurement Properties | Configuration tab). You can view from a grid window if the test message was delivered successfully. Open an event grid (Data | Events Grid | New). Open the Grid Properties dialog box (right-click on the grid and select Properties from the popup menu). Clear all selections and expand the GSM item. Clear all selections and select the Short Message Service item and click OK. The grid will now display only the selected SMS testing-related events.

MMS Measurements
MMS testing allows you to monitor how multimedia messages are transferred in the network. In addition to successfully sent/received MMS messages, also sending/receiving attempts and sending/receiving failures are recorded enabling statistical success rate calculations. Nemo Outdoor measures total MMS sending delay. Also separate delays from Attach, PDP context activation, logging to MMSC, and message sending/receiving are recorded. In order to be able to make MMS measurements, you will need to define some MMS-related settings in the PDP Context Settings dialog box.

Support for route planning in Indoor window

Route planning was introduced originally with outdoor maps. Now the same feature is available also with indoor floor plans. It is a convenient way to plan a measurement route beforehand. The route plan can be saved and modified afterwards.

Ending Measurements
The measurement is being recorded when a REC text appears in the upper right corner of the main window. Follow these instructions to stop the measurement.
If you are using a script to perform the measurement, you can either wait until the script file has been executed or interrupt the script either by selecting Measurement | Stop Script or by clicking the Stop button on the toolbar. If you are performing measurements manually, the measurement process is terminated either by selecting Measurement | Stop or by clicking the Stop button on the toolbar. In both alternatives, the Stop button on the toolbar will be inactivated and the Start Recording button activated. All the ongoing calls will be stopped and scanning will be terminated (Frequency Scan mode). Data transfers will be stopped, PDP context will be deactivated, and GPRS detach will be performed. Nemo Outdoor will display a report window with some call statistics. At this point, you can choose if you would like to save this file or delete it. You can also start a playback of this file. If you wish to exit Nemo Outdoor, select File | Exit or click the cross in the upper right corner of the Nemo Outdoor main window.

Log File PlayBack

Playback is a handy tool for doing a quick analysis of measurements. You can playback files anytime and anywhere immediately after the measurement has been finished or later on. When you open a file for playback, Nemo Outdoor will deactivate all connected devices. Nemo Outdoor will ask if you would like to save the current device. If you answer Yes, Nemo Outdoor will save the current configuration and reactivate the devices that you had connected before the playback when you close the playback file(s).
