Careful to Tems
First

Connect Dongle ( Tems License)

Open Tems 16.1 from ur workspaces

GSM Neighbors
This window is very helpful in case of 2G 3G Handovers as we can
see all the 2G neighbors of that particular 3G cell in the compressed
mode state.

Serving/Active Set +
Neighbors
Cell

I.D This is the identity or name

given to a particular Node B and its cell
by the operator.
UARFCN It is the frequency band
allotted to the operator. One spectrum
bandwidth is of 5MHz in WCDMA or
3G.This window shows us the centre
frequency of the bandwidth allotted to
the operator.

Serving/Active Set +
Neighbors
Cell

Name It is the name given to

particular Node Bs by the operator
generally along the lines of the name of the
area the Node B is located in.
Scrambling Code Scrambling code is a
code assigned to a particular cell. There are
512 such codes for the network to
differentiate among different Node Bs and
these codes can be repetitive. They are of
two types primary and secondary.

Serving/Active Set +
Neighbors
AS

This stands for Active Set. Active Set is the

set of Scrambling Code which the U.E is currently
latched on and there can be a maximum of 3
Scrambling codes in Active Set.
MN MN Stands for monitored neighbor i.e. the
neighbor cell that is detected by the U.E as a
neighbor and is also defined as a neighbor in the
network. U.E will initiate a Handover onto the
monitored neighbor in case the monitored
neighbor has a stronger RSCP or EcNo than the
AS.

Serving/Active Set +
Neighbors

DN - DN stands for Detected Neighbor and

as the name suggests it is the neighbor
detected by the UE but, is not defined in
our network . Hence, the U.E does not
handover to the detected neighbor. It can
be because of Overshooting of a site,
incomplete neighbor list or in case of a new
site. It is very important to optimize and
have no DNs as they are one of the major
reasons of Call drops in 3G.

Radio Parameters
CPICH

Ec/No Common Pilot channel

Ec/No is the ratio of energy of the chip
and the combined power of all the
signals including the pilot itself received
by the UE at that particular point. It is a
very important factor for call quality.
CPICH RSCP Received Signal Code
Power is the level of the signal received
by the U.E from a particular pilot.

Radio Parameters
Radio parameters are the parameters of a Mobile
equipment
Tx Power As the name suggests it is the transmitting
power of a Mobile Station. Its value can vary from
-50 to 50. The minimum the Tx power of the Mobile
station the better it is for call quality.
UTRA Carrier RSSI - It is the Received Signal
Strength Indicator of the Mobile Station or the U.E. It
tells us the total Power Received by the Mobile
Station from all the Pilots including itself at that
particular location.

Radio Parameters
SIR It is the signal to interference Ratio is
the ratio of Energy in the DPCC(Dedicated
Physical Control Channel) to that of the
interference and noise received by the U.E.
Target SIR It is the target Signal to
Interference ratio that Mobile Equipment is
supposed to achieve by increasing or
decreasing its power. It is set by the use of
Power Control procedure.

Radio Parameters
SQI

- It is the speech Quality Index

which is a parameter to rate the voice
Quality on that particular call. It ranges
from 0 30 with 30 being the best
quality.
RRC State It tells the current state
and channel as in Idle or dedicated.
Mode It is the mode that we are using
GSM or WCDMA.

HSPA/GSM Line Chart

This

window gives us the data speed for

both 3G and 2G modes depending on
which mode the mobile equipment is.
RLC DL Throughput This is the total
throughput on the downlink at that
particular point.
The speed shown in this window as
throughput is in Kilobits/sec.
