Actix Analyzer Update

July 2013

2 New collection device or technology support

2.1 Anritsu support

An issue has been fixed that caused Analyzer to set negative and/or invalid values of the PCI attribute.

2.2 Ascom TEMS support

An issue has been fixed that cause Analyzer to set BLER (Block Error Rate) to values higher than 100%. A problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from decoding C/I attributes in .trp logfiles. An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from setting Latitude and Longitude in the absence of primary sources of GPS coordinates (waypoint files or indoor positioning). An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from fully decoding Layer 3 messages in TEMS Pocket logfiles. Removed Filemark and Pinpoint streams from Attribute Explorer. An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from setting GSM scanner attributes.

2.3 Azenqos support

A problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from setting the attributes: Uu_NeighborSet_Count Uu_NeighborSet_SC Uu_NeighborSet_GSM_BCCH Uu_NeighborSet_GSM_BSIC Uu_NeighborSet_GSM_Count

2.4 Ding Li support

Added support for Ding Li Indoor Surveys.

2.5 Huawei CT support

An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from loading LTE Huawei Call Trace files (version DBS3900 LTE V100R005C00SPC320).

2.6 Huawei Probe support

A problem has been resolved that caused the Drilldown to freeze when specific LTE KPIs were selected during the creation of a Spotlight Project using the LTE template.

2.7 Meritech (Sigma-ML) support

An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from setting Data Testing attributes from .csv export files.

2.8 Nemo support

Added support for Nemo FF 2.17. In UMTS, a new IE has been decoded from the L3 DL Measurement Information message:

3G ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENT FDD_REPORTING_THRESHOLD_: XX A problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from processing Dead Reckoning GPS files correctly , also in case the GPS message contains the IE GPS fix with DR. In UMTS, support has been added for 4 UARFCNs extracted from CELLMEAS message. In LTE, added support for the Tx RSRP derived from Scanner per sector. The new attributes are: LTE_Scan_RS_CINR_Rx0Tx0_for_PCI LTE_Scan_RS_CINR_Rx1Tx0_for_PCI LTE_Scan_RSRP_Rx0Tx0_for_PCI LTE_Scan_RSRQ_Rx0Tx0_for_PCI

2.9 PCTEL support

Added support for PCTEL SeeHawk version 2.3.0.3 file format. A problem has been resolved that caused Analyzer to crash when specific PCTEL SeeHawk v2.3 were loaded.

2.10 Qualcomm support

An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from setting HO events and L3 LTE messages when loading specific QXDM logfiles.

Actix Analyzer Update

July 2013

In LTE, a new attribute (LTE_UE_SR_Count) is now set, which gives the count of Scheduling Requests (SRs) sent by the UE over the sampling period. In UMTS, a new attribute (UE_TxPow_MaxAllowed) is now set, which gives the maximum allowed power at which the UE can transmit. In some Qualcomm .ISF logfiles , an issue has been fixed affecting the PTT (PushToTalk) latency when corrupt timestamps occur.

2.11 Rhode and Schwarz support

Added support for R&S version 4.73. In HSPA+, a problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from decoding relevant information about 64 QAM Usage and HSDPA throughput. The attributes affected were: Uu_HSDPA_ModulationUsage_64QAM Uu_HSDPA_Throughput_L1

2.12 Swissqual support

An issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from decoding L3 messages in some DTI EX scanner logfiles.

2.13 Generic

A problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from retrieving information about LTE sectors on the map, when Layer Type info is present in the Cellref. Added support for Band VIII UE capability from the UL DCCH RRC Connection Setup Complete message. In UMTS, an improvement has been made relatively to Geolocation algorithm. In Call Trace formats, messages geolocation is now used, instead of servers geolocation. In UMTS, Indoor and Small cell max ranges have been updated to 300m and 600m, respectively. In LTE (VoLTE), to better compute the IPDV (Inter Packet Delay Variation) and lost packets caused by handovers, two new attributes have been created: LTE_UE_VoLTE_Num_Packets_Lost_HO LTE_UE_VoLTE_IPDV_HO

In LTE (VoLTE), decode improvements relating to AMR frames have been made, and a set of new AMR attributes are now set: AMR_More_Frames
