2.1 Agilent support

[Case 52645] Load time message filtering is improved for Agilent UMTS log files to
facilitate large file loading into Analyzer Classic.

2.2 Ascom support

• Added support for Ascom version 5.5

• [Case 53087] A problem in setting attribute AscomMasterCallMarker /

AscomSlaveCallMarker from Ascom version 5.5 log file has been resolved. The
following improvement has been made for the IE browser test: a new attribute
AscomStartMarker_IE_Browse has been created for the start of the test,
HTTP_pagesize and App_Throughput_DL are set from Measurement Results IE
Browse.

2.3 Accuver (Couei / WirelessLogix) support

• Added support for Accuver version 1.8.

• [Case 51081] Fixed a problem in loading Accuver log file collected with DRT
scanner.

2.5 DingLi support

• Set speed attribute SpeedKph.

• Supports video telephony test.

• In GSM, a dropped call event problem with Sagem OT260 handset has been
resolved with filtering corrupted messages.

2.6 Ericsson UETR / GPEH support

• [Case 53017] Fixed the issue where CT_Global_Call_Id remains the same, even
after CT_Global_Call_Id_Expired has been pegged. More elements are used to
create the call id in order to differentiate calls.

• The GPEH event detection has been improved: a "call drop" event will no longer
be pegged along with a "call end" event if the first PS attempt with GMM service
Request failed, but was then successful when re-attempted during the same
RRC Connection.

• [Case 51577] The following problems with UETR event detection are fixed:
• CallDropped or CallFailed is no longer pegged when a voice call is
successfully handover to GSM.
• Call events are no longer pegged in the second half of the call, when
the call spans over 2 files.

• Ericsson MTR geolocation is now supported.

• [Case 53459] An issue is now fixed which caused GPEH Data to fail to Geolocate
following the PN upgrade to Analyzer AU1007.

2.7 Invex.NxG support

• [Case 52314] The problem caused by corrupted Motorola EGPRS messages has
now been fixed. This made Analyzer fail when loading some log files.

2.8 Nemo support

• [Case 47953] If the device name is not empty in the header, it is employed as
the stream name. This improvement applies to Nemo FF 2.0 and beyond.

• [Case 50731] A problem is now fixed whereby UMTS Frequencies were

incorrectly being mapped under GSM1800. GSM scanner attributes are no
longer set from UMTS RF scan messages. Instead, UMTS
Uu_Scan_RSSI_By_UARFCN is set.

• Added HSPA+ MIMO support for Nemo.

• LTE_UE_FrameUsage_DL
• LTE_UE_FrameUsage_UL
• LTE_UE_MIMO_1TB_Usage
• LTE_UE_MIMO_2TB_Usage
• LTE_UE_PayloadRate_L1_DL
• LTE_UE_Throughput_L1_DL
• LTE_UE_MAC_Throughput_DL
• LTE_UE_MCS_Average_DL
• LTE_UE_ACK_Rate_DL
• LTE_UE_NACK_Rate_DL
• LTE_UE_TB_Size_Average_DL
• LTE_UE_TB_Size_Max_DL
• LTE_UE_RB_Num_DL
• LTE_UE_RB_Num_UL
• LTE_UE_TB_Size_Average_UL
• LTE_UE_TB_Size_Max_UL
• LTE_UE_MAC_Throughput_UL

• LTE_UE_WideBand_CQI_Average
• LTE_UE_WideBand_CQI_Cwd0
• LTE_UE_WideBand_CQI_Cwd1
• LTE_UE_RI
• LTE_UE_PMI

• Various issues with HSUPA attribute are fixed. The indices of the array attribute
Uu_HSUPA_SGI_Distribution have been rectified to reflect the maximum 38
values that SGI can contain. The correct value to attribute
