XCAL-Mobile is a handheld based stand-alone application running on smart phones that enables QoS and QoE testing across all WCDMA, GSM,
and LTE technologies. XCAL-Mobile application on smart phone in Android OS supports extensive application testing and delivers real-time
network measurement and visualization.
XCAL-Mobile is provided for both indoor and outdoor measurement while it is also available for field drive test when it is installed inside of a
moving vehicle. It supports remote control function by connecting with other server solution series of Accuver. All features can be controlled by
using normal handset keys.

the AutoCall scenarios pre-configured for single call tests.
For details of how to configure AutoCall scenario for single call test, see Creating AutoCall Scenario (For Single Call Test).
For AutoCall test for multiple calls in parallel (Multi-Session), up to four sessions can be tested in parallel assigning four respective AutoCall
scenarios for each session.
The call types of Voice (VoLTE), YouTube, SMS, E-Mail can be assigned for only one of the four sessions. The other call types can be
assigned for more than one session. Assignment of Voice and VoLTE cannot be overlapped. For details of how to assign AutoCall scenarios

Measurement data and serving lines are visualized in digital map in real-time during measurement. Internal GPS of smart phone is used for
location information, and if you import BTS/Repeater data, map displays their information. Digital map supports two map types; image map and
satellite map.
The speed at which digital map displays greatly depends on the internet access speed of the handset itself. 3G coverage area shows faster
update than that of 2G coverage area.
XCAL-Mobile basically support Google map for monitoring data in smart phone screen. If you want to use Baidu map, select Baidu map

Basically, XCAL-Mobile automatically generates and saves logging file after AutoCall test. It also allows you to manually generate and save
logging file, which includes monitoring signal and packets coming from smart phone, without AutoCall test.
If AutoCall test is started during manual logging, XCAL-Mobile stops generating manual logging file, and starts generating AutoCall logging

M aster/Slave Test
XCAL-Mobile builds Master/Slave test feature to measure several Slave test mobiles simultaneously under the control of one Master mobile.
Test mobiles can perform measurement test as a master or slave mobiles by configuring in XCAL-Mobile application. Up to three slave mobiles
can be controlled by one master mobile. Slave mobiles are available for in-building test.
Master/Slave feature runs for authorized license key users only. For authorized license key, contact to Accuver Support.
Master/Slave function is supported for smart phone models in Android OS version greater than 4.0 (Ice cream sandwich).
Some Master mobile models may be unable to connect more than 2 Slave mobiles due to Bluetooth function. It is recommended to use
smart phones manufactured by Samsung Electronics.

The following items will be calculated by decoding RTP packets and calculating the methods mentioned. They will calculate every packet
received and display every second in XCAL-Mobile.
Parameter Description
Rx Delay Time difference of RTP timestamps from previous RTP packet and current RTP packet
Rx Delay = R(i) – R(i-1)
Inter Arrival time It is the time difference in relative transit time expressed as
Difference D(i, j) = {R(i) – R(i-1)} – {S(j) – S(i-1)}
Here, S(j) is the RTP timestamp from packet j sent and R(i) is the RTP timestamp from packet i received
Inter-Arrival Jitter It is calculated over packets that arrived consecutively as follows.
If J(i) represents the Inter-Arrival Jitter for packet, i and D (i – 1, i) represents Inter-Arrival Time Difference between consecutive
packets, i – 1 and i, then Inter-Arrival Jitter is calculated as,
.
It is calculated at every second.
RTP Throughput Over DL, the throughput is measured as,
