1. Voice call
Test Plan Configuration Before Test
Suggestion: When testing voice call, do not perform PS dialup on the Modem of the
outgoing UE manually. Otherwise, voice call maybe hangs up abnormally.
The UE that is performing PS services can serve as an incoming UE for Voice Call
or Video Phone test. Thus, the CS and PS concurrent test can be performed on the
same UE.

Note: For BE service, such as Background Class and Interactive Class, dont set
the UL & DL Guranteed V.
The UMTS Specifications specify that BE service has no requirement on
guarantee bit rate. Setting guarantee bit rate may result in PS connection setup
failure for many mobiles do not support the setting.

Supplements about APN, QoS Setting
a) If leave APN, QoS parameters blank
Probe wont send the associated command to the UE if the parameters mentioned above
is not set, that is the UEs former setting will be maintained.
b) Methods for setting APNQoS and their correlationship
1) Set by AT command in MODEM initial command
2) Set by Probe in Test Plan

When both Probe and MODEM have APN and QoS information, because AT command in
MODEM initial command is send to UE more closely before PS connection setup, it will
replace the information send to UE by Probe. That is Probes setting doesnt work if AT
command also exists in the MODEM initial command.

4.1 User, Password: FTP user name and password. For anonymous login, also
need to input anonymous as username.
4.2 Remote File: Destination file address, input the detailed download path, such
as, ftp://10.0.0.1/download/1.dat
4.3 Local File: Local path to save the download file, such as, C:\1.dat
4.4 MultiTask Count: When we use multi-threading download, set the number of
threads here.
4.5 Test Interval (sec): The time interval between multi downloads. After finishing
a download, wait for serveral time, then start another times download.
4.6 FTP Count: the total number of ftp download test.

Parameters for Ftp Upload / Ftp Download:
Test Plan Configuration Before Test
4.7 Disconnection Mode: the mode of Disconnection, there are three choices:
Keep Disconnected: Do not perform PDP context deactivation ( remain RRC
connection) after the target files are loaded completely, just wait for interval time
then continue next ftp download test.
Disconnect By Time: Perform PDP context deactivation periodically. The period for
the PDP context deactivation is represented by the Valid FTP Duration parameter. If
the target files are not loaded completely within the predefined time, the loading
result shows timeout. Probe considers this loading as failure and initiates another
PDP context deactivation in the next loading.
Disconnect After Transfer Complete: Each time when the file load is complete, PDP
context deactivation would be performed.
FTP Upload:
Parameters are the same with FTP downloads. Probe will upload the local file to
the destination path automatically.

Make sure you have the authority to upload file before test.

Note: PING packet size have an effect on PING delay time. Usually, the PING packet
size is described in the criterion of the test project, set the parameter according to the

6. PDP
Test Plan Configuration Before Test
NoteIf False is selected in Auto Dialup, the connections on the signaling plane are
set up. The signaling includes RRC signaling, PDP context activation request, and PDP
context activation receive message. The service plane, however, is not established. In
such a situation, the PING service is not being connected.
If True is selected, the connections on both signaling and service planes are
established. That is, the PC <->UE <->CN channel is set up for dialup connection and
providing services.

Parameters for PDP:
Test Plan Configuration Before Test
Auto Dialup: If the option is false, then only setup signaling plane connection. In
NAS Message window, we can see the Activate PDP context request &
Activate PDP context accept message, but we cant perform service in this
mode. If the option is true, then there will setup a connection between PC<--
>UE<-->CN, the same as PS Dialup, we can perform service in this mode.
Reserved Duration: The period when the PDP is in active status, thus, it is time
from activate PDP context accept to deactivate PDP context request.
Test Interval: If a PDP test is success, wait for Test Interval to do next PDP test.
Then, it is time from deactivate PDP context accept to activate PDP context
request.
Exceptional Interval: If a PDP test is failed, wait for Exceptional Interval and
then do next PDP Test.

1. Delta vs Average
Delta is the average value in 200ms.

Average is the average value from the beginning of stat. to the current time. You can choose to clear
the former stat. data. The values displayed by Assistant are all belong to Delta series.

2. Parameters about rate
Scheduled Rate = The total block size scheduled to the UE during stat. time / (Total time slot
scheduled to the UE * 2ms)

Served Rate = The total block size scheduled to the UE during stat. time / stat. time length

HS-SCCH Success Rate = time slot number scheduled to the UE during stat. time / total time slot
number during stat. time

When multi UEs share a HS-SCCH channel, they will share channel resource. So, HS-SCCH Success
Rate reflects the time ratio of a UE occupies HSDPA resource. The closer to 100% of total HS-SCCH
Success Rate from UEs who share a HS-SCCH channel, the better schedule performance the system
has.

Served Rate = Scheduled Rate * HS-SCCH Success Rate
Mac Layer Rate = Served Rate * (1- SBLER)

3. IBLER, SBLER vs Res.BLER

IBLER is 1st MAC-hs error block /total 1st MAC-hs transmission blocks. IBLER
Target can be configured on NodeB. And its statistic value in Probe is 1st SBLER
in HSDPA Decoding Statistic Window.

SBLER is MAC-hs error block / total MAC-hs transmission blocks, IBLER target
configured on NodeB have an effect on SBLER, now the common value range of
SBLER is 10%~15%.

Res.BLER means remain BLER, which is within RLC layer. One transmission
block only after multi-times unsuccessful MAC-hs retransmission, will be
calculated as RLC layer error block, stat. to Res.BLER. Res.BLER is approximate
to 0 in normal instance.
