New Features

4.1

New Features in TEMS Pocket 13.2

4.1.1

LTE Scanning with DRT4311B Scanner

TEMS Pocket 13.2 introduces a unique in-building solution for high performance,
multi-technology scanning using an external scanner from DRT (model name:
DRT4311B). This solution offers a significant reduction in weight and power
consumption compared to traditional scanners, and it removes the need for a
cumbersome laptop-based configuration. Simply hook up the lean and lightweight DRT
scanner via USB to your TEMS Pocket smartphone or tablet for a discreet and superportable scanning setup.
As a first step, LTE Reference Signal scanning is offered in TEMS Pocket 13.2, with
more technologies to be added in coming releases. Scans can be either manual or
scripted; in either case, as it is handled by a separate device, the scanning is
completely independent of other TEMS Pocket activities and can run in parallel with
any of these.

4.1.2

New Device: LG Lucid 2 (VS870)

This in an LTE/CDMA smartphone. It is the first TEMS Pocket device to support voice
calls over LTE (VoLTE).
Frequency bands:
LTE 700 (Band 13)
CDMA 800 (BC 0), 1900 (BC 14)
Throughput categories:
LTE Category 3 (100/50 Mbit/s)
EV-DO Rev. A (3.1 Mbit/s)
Google Android 4.1.2
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
Integrated GPS with A-GPS support
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960
CPU: Dual-core 1.2 GHz
Note: This device is operator-locked to Verizon.

4.1.3

VoLTE Support

The LG Lucid 2 smartphone is the first TEMS Pocket device capable of VoLTE voice
call testing. Scripting of VoLTE calls is handled by the Voice action, where a new Call
type setting determines whether to use a circuit switched or packet-switched bearer.

4.1.4

IP Capture from Device Modem

An additional option has been introduced for IP sniffing. IP logs can now be extracted
not only from the Android IP stack but also from the device modem (that is, when the
data transfer is done over a mobile network as opposed to Wi-Fi). For VoLTE, it is
essential to log IP data from the device modem to furnish input to KPI calculation in
post-processing tools such as TEMS Discovery.

NT13-25629, 1.0,10/15/2013

4.1.5

Locking to Multiple RATs and Bands

The RAT lock control function has been refined to permit locking of the TEMS Pocket
device to a subset of multiple radio access technologies, not just to a single
technology. For example, the device can be allowed to camp on GSM and WCDMA
while being prevented from accessing LTE. What RAT combinations are possible is
dictated by the interplay between technologies as defined in the standards; GSM and
LTE, for instance, is not a valid subset.
For band lock, the option of locking on more than one band already existed for LTE
and WCDMA but has now been introduced for GSM as well.

4.1.6

Cell File Data Used as Guidance with Locking Functions

More ample use is made of cell file data in this version of TEMS Pocket:
When

selecting a cell to lock on, you can search the cell file for parameter values as
well as arbitrary text in cell names. The latter is especially helpful when you need to
identify a cell based on its location. A cell turned up by the search can be picked as a
lock target by a single-tap operation.
In

the RAT lock dialog it is shown for each RAT how many bands and cells the
device supports for that technology. Similarly, for the band lock function, a cell count is
given for each supported band.

4.1.7

Data Mode Indication

The current RAT string in the data view header has been supplemented with an
indication of data mode, meaning the type of bearer currently being used for data
transfer. This can be either a mobile network bearer or Wi-Fi.
The TEMS Pocket data mode indication is much more fine-grained than the one given
on the Android status bar: to give just one example, within WCDMA it distinguishes all
of the following: 3G (non-HS), HSPA, HSPA DC (dual carrier), HSPA+, HSPA+ MIMO,
HSPA+ DC, and HSPA+ DC MIMO.

4.1.8

WCDMA Fast Dormancy Control

Fast dormancy is a 3GPP mechanism designed to save smartphone battery as well as

network resources by minimizing the time the device spends in power-consuming
states. The mobile device initiates the procedure by sending a message to the network
where it requests to end the current data session.
A new control function in TEMS Pocket lets you decide whether to allow or inhibit fast
dormancy in a WCDMA network. If you inhibit the mechanism, the devices session
end requests will be suppressed, so that the network will not receive them.

4.1.9

HTTP Post

HTTP Post offers an alternative route to testing uplink performance, with a

Web server at the other end instead of an FTP server. The HTTP Post
operation is handled by the same script action type as HTTP Get.

Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 600
CPU: Quad-core 1.9 GHz

4.2.2

TEMS Pocket Remote

TEMS Pocket 13.1 sees the introduction of the first TEMS Pocket Remote package
on the Android platform. A TEMS Pocket running in Remote mode can be used as
an unattended probe tasked with (for example) monitoring or benchmarking. The
device is then controlled remotely by a Fleet Manager and does not expose the regular
TEMS Pocket user interface.
The behavior of a TEMS Pocket Remote device as an autonomous probe can be
flexibly configured on-screen, for example with regard to registration procedures and
measurement data upload.

4.2.3

User-customizable Data Views

As a complement to the predefined data views, TEMS Pocket 13.1 comes equipped
with a set of blank views whose contents you customize yourself in whatever way
you like. The views are overlaid with a grid, which you populate piece by piece with a
mosaic of the value elements you want to monitor.
You build these custom views from the same types of graphical elements that make up
the predefined views:

Line charts with or without labeling of axes.

Value bars whose length and color represent the current value of a parameter or
measured quantity. The value and unit are also printed as text on top of the bar.

Value labels presenting value elements as text only.

NT13-25629, 1.0,10/15/2013

Static text labels describing the data seen in the view.

4.2.4

Max/Min Duration Timers in Script Actions

Script actions are now equipped with maximum/minimum timers which can optionally
be used to control the action duration. If the action duration reaches the stipulated
maximum, the action is immediately ended. On the other hand, if the action completes
in less than the minimum execution time, TEMS Pocket will wait until the minimum
timer expires and only then continue.

4.2.5

User-friendly Script and Map Set File Names

The file naming of scripts and map sets created in TEMS Pocket has been changed to
a more human-readable format to make files easier to find.

4.2.6

Sony Xperia LT25i with External Antennas

An external antenna kit is now offered with TEMS Pocket on the Sony Xperia LT25i
phone. The device is then permanently fitted with SMA female connectors on the back
of the phone.
With an external antenna you can easily verify previously deployed antenna solutions,
or find faulty cables, using only a mobile device. The antenna kit also includes a miniantenna for normal handheld use; the phones internal antenna, on the other hand, is
permanently disabled in this configuration.
The external antenna solution is available with TEMS Pocket Professional and TEMS
Pocket Standard.

4.3.7

New GPS: Garmin GLO

Garmin GLOTM is a combined GPS and GLONASS receiver supporting wireless

Bluetooth connectivity. The GLONASS and GPS combination can receive positioning
information from up to 24 more satellites than GPS-only receivers.
GLO supports a positioning update frequency of 10Hz (10 updates per second). Many
receivers on the market today only support 1 update per second, giving GLO higher
location resolution which is suitable when traveling at vehicular speeds.
GLO supports up to 12 hours battery life and is easy to charge with the included USB
cable.

4.3.8

New Device Control: LTE EARFCN Lock

In this release LTE EARFCN lock, also sometimes referred to as LTE carrier lock, is
added to Xperia LT25i and Xperia LT30a, further expanding the range of marketunique capabilities which continues to save TEMS users countless hours in their daily
work.
As operators begin to deploy additional carriers to their LTE networks in order to grow
capacity the LTE EARFCN lock capability can enable accurate, non-intrusive and
efficient deployment compared to alternative solutions.
This capability is just like previously introduced control capabilities possible to control in
real-time when locking to individual EARFCN/carriers. One initial reboot of the device is
required to configure the device to a state where it prevents or allows handovers, but
unlike similar solutions which require a reboot for each change in EARFCN its use
does not requiring a reboot of the device. This allows the user to combine locking
capabilities with other automated services tests, greatly increasing operation efficiency.
Note: The version offered in this release works differently compared to WCDMA and
GSM carrier lock features, so a comparison between the different types of carrier lock
use cases can be found in the TEMS Pocket Commercial Presentation and Technical
Product Description.

4.3.9

New Device Control: WCDMA Cell Preferred (???) (UARFCN and

SC)

As similarly named but in many aspects very different device control capabilities are
becoming more common in network testing solutions it is important to distinguish
between solutions claiming locking capabilities.
The TEMS portfolio has for more than a decade been able to provide a unique type of
locking functionality, designed and developed by Ascom specifically with network
testing in mind. This is something unique to the industry.
In this release WCDMA Cell Preferred (UARFCN and SC) control capabilities are
added to Xperia LT25i and Xperia LT30a, further increasing the operational efficiency
for TEMS users. This capability is similarly to previous capabilities possible to control in

NT13-25629, 1.0, 10/15/2013

real-time and unlike some other solutions its use does not requiring a reboot of the
device.
Note: The level of control offered in this release works differently compared to the
Xperia arc S LT18i/a, so a comparison between the different types of carrier lock use
cases can be found in the TEMS Pocket Commercial Presentation and Technical
Product Description. The name change to WCDMA Cell Preferred reflects the
difference in capabilities compared to previous TEMS Sony devices.

4.3.10

New Device Control: Access Class control

Xperia LT25i and LT30a handsets are now capable of controlling AC (Access Class).
This feature allows the device to simulate an AC other than the AC originally given to
the USIM. It can be used to enable evaluation of the NW with various ACs other than
the AC set to USIM.
Access Class between 0-9 and 10-15 can be chosen with 10-15 indicating for example
NW access emergency calls, public or emergency services. The alternative to testing
these AC cases would requires multiple different SIM-cards, manual configuration of
the handset and takes significantly longer to setup and test reliably.

4.3.11

New Device Control: Ignore Cell Barred

TEMS Pocket now adds another popular control capability to Xperia LT30a and LT25i
devices; Cell Barred Control. This control capability is useful for testing sites
commissioned in commercial live networks and helps reduce impact for commercial
users to a minimum.
By barring access the operator can prevent commercial users from using a specific
cell. Normal, commercial handsets will not be able to camp on a barred cell site, but by
using Cell Barred Control the user can let TEMS Pocket ignore the access restriction
and still use the site to conduct tests uninterrupted and in an more controlled
environment. This increases reliability of tests and promotes user efficiency as the
alternatives can be costly and error prone.
TEMS Pocket offers three different options to Cell Barred Control:

Normal - Only non-barred cells can be used by the phone. This is how commercial
devices normally behave.

All All cells can be used by the phone

Only Barred Only barred cells can be used by the phone

According to 3GPP TS 25.304, a "Barred Cell" is "a cell a commercial UE is not

allowed to camp on." A UE is not allowed to camp on a barred cell, not even for
emergency calls. If a cell on which a commercial UE is currently camped becomes
barred, a cell reselection is triggered.
This parameter controls whether the test set is a barred cell. It sets the 3GPP TS
25.331 s10.3.2.1 "Cell Barred" information element.

4.3.12

Mobile-to-Mobile POLQA

This release adds convenient and cost efficient Mobile-2-Mobile POLQA capabilities to
Xperia LT25i devices.

10

NT13-25629, 1.0,10/15/2013

A mobile-2-mobile solution has a number of benefits compared to mobile-2-fixed or

MOS solutions using external hardware:

No external hardware needed, just two devices with voice subscription

No need for a fixed call generator or landline resulting in much easier setup at
reduced cost

The entire mobile solution can travel with the user, measuring according to local
conditions

Using a non-PSTN mobile call generator enables Super-Wideband

measurements as landline calls are down-converted to narrowband speech

Combined with the Ascom-unique capability of vocoder control, introduced in selected

handsets in previous releases, the M2M POLQA solutions becomes even more
versatile, enabling the user to efficiently test AQM impact for specific voice codecs.
M2M POLQA will be added to further devices during the year and based on customer
requests.
Note: A POLQA License is not needed for the receiving side calculating the MOS score
if the calls are one-directional. Only when both devices will be calling each other,
alternating MOS measurements, is there a need for two licenses.

4.3.13

Super-Wideband POLQA measurements

TEMS Pocket users using POLQA can now calculate a MOS score for Wideband and
Super-Wideband codecs, e.g. AMR-WB. A 48 KHz sample rate is applied for all codecs
above 8 KHz.

4.3.14

Script triggers

Script execution can now be triggered by user defined custom events. For each script
the user can define a series of logical statements which when evaluated to true will
begin or end execution of the script. As an example the script can be triggered to start
on a specific day of the week, within a certain hours of the day or for specific RF
conditions.
The triggers can be created using the new custom events editor which supports users
to easily write powerful, nested logical statements.
This enables TEMS Pocket to automate more testing for the user, working in a more
unattended mode and even to reduce the amount of redundant data collected.

4.3.15

New time based triggers for Custom events

Custom events can now be created with time of day-based triggers. TEMS Pocket
can now generate events for:

Year

Month

Day of Month

Hour

Minute

NT13-25629, 1.0, 10/15/2013

11

Combining these above events with the automatic script triggers and other custom
events enables TEMS Pocket to work in a type of unattended mode, e.g. executing
scripts at specific time intervals, radio conditions and/or network events without user
interaction.

4.3.16

Nested custom events

The custom event editor introduced in an earlier release of TEMS Pocket has now
been enhanced to support nested arrangements of logical statements. The new event
user interface has been designed to help the user easily create complex evaluations.

Figure 1 Nested custom events

4.3.17 Filemarks
Filemarks can be inserted in a logfile that is being recorded in order to tag segments
of particular interest in the file, or just to note down some pertinent fact related to the
recording. The filemarks are also present during post processing in other TEMS
products.

4.3.18

Map Legend

TEMS Pocket now displays a color legend in both indoor and outdoor maps, indicating
what measurement is plotted, its numerical value and color range. This greatly
enhances convenience and usability.

NT13-25629, 1.0,10/15/2013

Figure 2 Map Legend

4.3.19

TEMS Pocket auto-start

TEMS Pocket can now be configured to start automatically when the device is powered
on. Users can get started testing immediately by not having to start the application
manually, saving time in the process.
This feature becomes especially powerful when used with the automatic script triggers,
turning the device into a unit which can perform autonomous testing whenever turned
on. Users do not have to bother with selecting and starting scripts, but can focus on
monitoring progress or simply carrying the device with them without further interaction.

4.3.20

Embedded Quick Guide

New user can now access a Quick Guide directly from the Help menu in TEMS Pocket.
This Quick Guide helps orient the user through often used scenarios such as how to
record logfiles, work in in-building environments and other tips and tricks. This enables
new users getting started quickly and with minimal training.
The TEMS Pocket Quick Guide is available in the same mobile-friendly format as the
embedded User Manual.

4.3.21

Revamped menu system

This release introduces a new menu system designed to help TEMS Pocket users be
more efficient, reaching information faster and accessing menus more conveniently.
The new design reflects Android design guidelines, best practices and the development
of new Smartphones with fewer or no hardware buttons.

Figure 3 New Menu System

Some of the changes include easier access to logfile recording, pin pointing, settings
configuration, user help and manuals. The menu is context sensitive to simplify user
interaction. As an example the filemark button will only appear when a logfile is being
recorded.

4.3.22

Automatic change of RAT-specific value elements in maps

Both indoor and outdoor maps now automatically switch which value element is plotted
based on current RAT. Automatic switching occurs for four basic important
measurements: signal strength, signal quality and UL/DL throughput.
NT13-25629, 1.0, 10/15/2013

This translates into the following value elements:

Signal

Table 1 RAT-specific KPI

Without this automatic switching the user would have to manually change value
element, e.g. to switch from viewing Rx Lev when on GSM and then RSCP when the
device changes RAT to WCDMA. This convenient feature saves TEMS Pocket users
valuable minutes and increases understanding of the network.

4.3.23

OtterBoxTM protection for Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2

Each TEMS Pocket Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 model now includes accessories
from the market leader in phone protection. The OtterBox Defender-series protection
offers:

Robust, 3-layer protection withstanding drops, bumps and shocks

Built-in screen protector prevents scratches

Port covers keep out dust and debris

Holster-style swiveling belt clip, serving also as desk stand, included

Known Bugs and Limitations

The following bugs and limitations are known to remain in TEMS Pocket 13.2:

16

Aborting a scripted action may result in a log file that is missing the service
end/error event.

The GSM data view does not update some of its values on certain device models.

When using TEMS Pocket for FTP transfer, throughput will be lower than when
using the phone as a modem.

The WiFi function in TEMS Pocket does not support distinguishing between 20 or
40 MHz bandwith measurements. All channels will be displayed as 20 MHz
channels.

5GHz WiFi cells are not shown in spectrum view.

If the Google account is changed TEMS Pocket might get uninstalled. Please
contact customer service for assistance (customercare.tems@acom.com).

The application layer throughput value during HTTP and FTP might have cycling
dips when using GSM. The average throughput is not affected and is calculated
correctly.

It is not possible to perform normal firmware updates made available by the device
vendors (except on Sony devices). The device must be sent back to Ascom for
update when such upgrade is made available by Ascom. This does not apply to the
TEMS Pocket application, which can be updated using the TEMS Pocket install
tool.

The built in Network Mode selection (i.e. RAT lock) in Android should always be
set to its default value, otherwise it will interfere with TEMS Pocket and may cause
unexpected behaviour.
NT13-25629, 1.0,10/15/2013

During logfile replay when rewinding, or fast forwarding more than 60 seconds, the
event markers in linecharts and maps will be incorrect or missing. To get accurate
event markers the logfile should be replayed from the beginning to the end.

If IP Capture is run with high packet size, the throughput and/or phone performance
might be reduced.

On Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE (all variants) the LTE uplink cyclic prefix might not be
shown in some situations.

Cell Identity in the LTE cell list is not updated from RF information, it is only
available when using a cell file that includes cell identities.

On Samsung Galaxys SIII LTE (GT-I9305) the displayed GPRS/EDGE RLC DL

throughput is lower than the actual throughput.

On Sony LT25i and LT30a, the UE might begin to camp on an EARFCN different
from the locked EARFCN when going from Connected to Idle mode if LTE interfrequency handover is not disabled. It's suggested to disable LTE inter-frequency
handover when using Lock on EARFCN.

On Sony LT25i and LT30, the built in media scanning in Android isnt triggered
automatically when TEMS Pocket is connected to a PC by USB. This means that a
reboot of the device might be necessary before files created by TEMS Pocket
(logfiles, map sets etc.) are visible in the PCs file explorer.

The TEMS Capability Control application may not be run simultaneously with TEMS
Pocket or TEMS Investigation.

Voice MT action is not supported on the HTC One XL.

TEMS Pocket may be terminated by Androids built in Out of memory manager if

moved to the background. This is more frequent on devices with low amount of
RAM, but may occur on any device. To avoid this it is recommended to always
have TEMS Pocket in the foreground when measuring.
