SwissQual®...QualiPoc Introduction
Service Tests
1 Introduction
QualiPoc Android has been designed for handheld radio network optimization and
quality assessment. This software supports a variety of devices and technologies
including GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA and LTE. Due to the ease of
use, you can use QualiPoc to collect data and voice services statistics. SwissQual
offers the following QualiPoc Handheld Android versions:
● Android RF: RF optimization and troubleshooting for scenarios where MOS testing
is not a consideration. This tool has been designed for indoor and outdoor use for
easy and fast data collection on various technologies. Android RF is ideal for field
engineers who perform daily tasks such as site verification and commissioning,
troubleshooting, and optimization.
QualiPoc Android RF is also available in a Lite version, which does not save the results
to a measurement file.
● Android QA: Combines the functionality of Android RF with MOS quality testing
algorithms such as SQUAD, and P.863 (POLQA). Android QA is a mobile network
quality assessment tool that has been designed to allow customers to easily evalu-
ate the quality of services, such as voice calls, while providing the RF parameters
and application layer information that are crucial to troubleshooting.
1.1 Service Tests

QualiPoc Android includes the following test functionality:
● CALL: Uses the Call2anynumber test to set up a speech call connection to a num-
ber that automatically responds. Uses the Speech MOC test to measure intrusive
speech quality (MOS) on speech call connection to a responding station. The
answering station job could be used to answer calls for a MOC DL job.
● DATA: Sets up a PS data connection to an access point name. This functionality
includes FTP UL/DL, HTTP Browser, HTTP Transfer GET/PUT, Ping, Email and
Capacity DL testing.
● MESSAGE: Test SMS and MMS functionality
● Multi-Data, Multi-Mix, Multi-RAB, and Parallel: Execute data and call tests
sequential or parallel.
● Idle Monitoring: Allows you to monitor RF parameters during normal use of the
phone.

Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 25

Technology Forcing
Fig. 3-14: Forcing settings
3.7.1 WCDMA Preferred Channel Forcing
On some devices, you can force QualiPoc to use a preferred WCDMA channel when
multiple channels are available. This feature is only available for the following devices:
● Samsung S III (I747, I747M, T999, T999V, SC-06D)
● Samung GalaxyTab 8.9 (P-7320, P-7320T, I957, I957D)
After you set the preferred UARFCN channel, QualiPoc immediately restarts the
device.
The forcing sets the radio modem to scan a ‘priority’ UMTS UARFCN before other
channels when the phone starts. The radio modem attempts to access the network
with the preferred UARFCN even if a cell on another UMTS channel can provide a bet-
ter connection.
If the signal is lost on the preferred UMTS channel, the modem scans for another

Unit Configuration
Fig. 3-15: WCDMA Preferred UARFCN settings
3.8 Unit Configuration

On the "Unit configuration" screen you can specify the unit name, the connection set-
tings to the media server, and the structure of the results folder. The unit name is use-
ful for identifying the measurement files of a particular phone during post processing. If
you manually upload measurement files from a phone to the media server, that is, with
the "Results" command on the main menu, the unit name is also used for the folder on
the media server that contains the file.
You can configure the folder structure as flat, for example, 2011-12-10_Custom HD
or as a hierarchy, for example, 2011-12-10/Custom HD/. You can use the following
types of information for the folder names:
● Date (for example, 2011-12-10
● System (always “QualiPoc”)
● Device
● Task/Job (Task or job name)

setting that you want to change, and then use the value picker at the top right
to select the new value.
For a test that involves a Diversity unit, specify the same Window timings as
you did in figure 4-17 for the intrusive job in NQView.
Fig. 4-8: Window timings
e) Touch "Pause time", enter a value, click "OK", and then press Back .
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 39

Note: The "Pause time" setting is only available when you manually configure a job
in QualiPoc. Furthermore, the value must be 0 in any mixed test scenario, for
example, when the test uses a Diversity unit as the B-Side device.
5. Specify the test settings.
a) On the "Job settings" screen, touch "Speech Double Ended" in the "Test" area.
b) Touch "Selected call direction" and touch the call direction.
For a test that involves a Diversity unit, the call direction is the "MOC:MTC"
ratio in figure 4-17 that you specified for the intrusive job in NQView. For a
"MOC:MTC" ratio of 1:0, touch "Call A to B", for a "MOC:MTC" ratio of 0:1,
touch "Call B to A", and for "MOC:MTC" ratio of 1:1, touch "Alternating Call
Sequence".
Fig. 4-9: Set Call Direction
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 40

c) Touch "Selected sample direction", and then touch an option in the list.
Unlike in Diversity, the half-duplex option in QualiPoc always starts with a B to
A sample direction and then alternates the sample direction. Furthermore,
unlike in Diversity, you cannot specify the number of samples that a QualiPoc
job uses. However, QualiPoc always evaluates the reference samples that the
phone receives. For a test that involves a Diversity unit, ensure that the sample
direction that you selected in figure 4-18 for the test in NQView reflects these
limitations.
Fig. 4-10: Speech Double Ended test settings

for the AM_fm_IRS.wav reference sample.
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 42

f) Touch "Sample frequency", enter one of the following sample frequencies, and
then touch "OK":
● 12.5: For tests that use the "SQuad08" and POLQA algorithms.
The sample frequency is the time difference between the start times of the
two subsequent samples. A sample frequency of 12.5 seconds in QualiPoc
corresponds to the combined 6 second "Record hang-over" that you speci-
fied in figure 4-18 in NQView and the 6.5 second duration of the SwissQual
reference samples.
● 20: For tests that use the "SQuad08 (WB)" and "POLQA (WB)" algorithms.
QualiPoc on slower phones requires the longer time to calculate the MOS
results in a wideband Speech Double Ended measurement job.

Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 43

4.4.2.2 Stopping the Job on the QualiPoc Phone
The B-side QualiPoc device handles a stop command from the Diversity A-side device
in the following ways:
● Stop command arrives during a configuration call: QualiPoc restarts the mea-
surement job into waiting for configuration mode and does not save a measure-
ment file
● Stop command arrives during a normal call: QualiPoc stops the measurement
job and saves a measurement file.
● Stop command arrives during a pause in a normal call: Job continues to run
until the timeout is reached
● Stop command does not arrive: If the call has already been configured and the
test is running, the call runs indefinitely; however, if you restart the measurement
task in NQView and QualiPoc is configured to receive the call, then QualiPoc
restarts the job on the phone after the configuration call.
4.4.3 Creating and Running the Job in Diversity NQView
The following sections describe how to use Diversity NQView to configure the following
features for a speech double ended test:
● Voice Call Server: Required for the QualiPoc Android to Diversity Call Server

to mark your current position. You can use files in *.jpg, *.png, and *.ibwc format
for the floor plan. QualiPoc links the positions that you mark to create a simple path. By
default the color of the indoor positions reflects the current signal strength (RxLev in
GSM/EDGE or RSCP in WCDMA).
► To customize the tracking value, touch and hold the map.
► To mark your position on the map, double-tap the map.
► To delete a marker that you just added to a map, touch the "Undo" button at the
top of the screen.
► To zoom in and zoom out of the map, use the touch capabilities of the smartphone.
► To navigate between waypoints, use the left and right arrows in the slide out menu
at the bottom.
► To add a waypoint, tap the plus sign (+).

QualiPoc saves the positions that you mark in the measurement file. You can load
these markers in the NQDI post-processing software. If you want, you can load another
map during the measurement. When you reload a map, QualiPoc also reloads the pre-
vious tracking list.
5.6.6 IP and PCAP Logging Monitors
The "IP trace" monitor is a list monitor that displays header information from HTTP,
FTP, TCP, DNS and ICMP packages. If you want, you can disable protocol items in the
monitor settings. You can also specify a text filter to customize what you see on the
monitor.
► Touch an item on the screen to view the decoded package.

QualiPoc writes the HTTP, FTP, TCP, DNS and ICMP packages to the MF inde-
pendent of the filter settings.

SwissQual®...QualiPoc Call Quality
Defining Call Quality
C Call Quality
The following sections describe Call Quality, which rates a complete call according to
subscriber experience.
The goal is to model how a subscriber would rate the call when the call is over. The
main quality determination is provided by the so-called "recency effect", that is, recent
perceived quality degradations have a greater influence on the score, and a weighted
average procedure, in which a strong quality drop has a strong influence on the overall
call quality.
To create the Call Quality prediction model, an auditory investigation was performed
with a simulated conversation in a fixed temporal structure [Neusinger, Berger: ETSI-
STQ 04/2202]. This model can also be applied to test calls that consist of a series of
test samples that have been scored by P.862.1 or SQuad-LQ, so long as the defined
temporal structure has been met. The corresponding ETSI recommendation is [ETSI-
STQ TR 102 506].
The Call Quality model contains the following steps:
● Recency effect scores from the fist samples in the call are weighted less in the
averaging process
● To model impacts on call quality by drops of quality during the call, non-linear aver-
aging is applied, which weights single MOS drops stronger than when the common
quality in the call is high.
C.1 Defining Call Quality

The Call Quality model can be applied to each call that fulfils the required temporal
structure. To use the Call Quality model, you need to create and run a Speech mea-
surement job, for example, Job_CallQuality.ini, that matches the following
requirements:
● "Job type": "Intrusive"
● 10 x Speech and Speech-P.862 tests, that alternate between 5 x A->B and 5 x B-
>A
● Sample length + Record hangover = 11.5 s
NQDI can calculate Call Quality during post-processing or during the database import
procedure, that is, the VoiceEngine does not calculate Call Quality. NQDI calculates
the Call Quality of calls that meet the following requirements:
● "Job type": "Intrusive"
● Only 5 Speech or Speech-P.862 tests in UL or DL per call
● 5 x A->B or 5 x B->A tests (alternating)
● Time from the beginning of the first sample in the call to the beginning of the last
(fifth) sample in this direction is within the 100 and 115 s range
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 127

SwissQual®...QualiPoc Call Quality
3 Viewing the Results
The Call Quality is calculated separately for the A->B and B->A directions as well for P.
862.1 and SQuad-LQ. As a result, four Call Quality values are calculated for Speech-P.
862 and UL/DL tests and two values for SQuad-LQ Speech UL and DL tests. For Qual-
iPoc or special applications that involve a DL or UL test, only one Call Quality value is
calculated for the test direction.
If you use a default SwissQual audio file, for example, AM_FM_IRS.wav, to evaluate
the Call Quality, you need to specify a "Record HO" value of 5500 ms. If you use the
AM_CallQual_IRS.wav audio file, which is a special Call Quality speech sample,
you need to specify a "Record HO" value of 1000 ms.
Due to the short hangover time, do not use the AM_CallQual_IRS.wav audio file for
Video Calls.
C.2 3 Viewing the Results

If a job NQDI meets the requirements for a Call Quality calculation, the Call Quality val-
ues appears on the "CallQuality" tab in NQDI.

SwissQual®...QualiPoc Call Setup Time
D Call Setup Time

The following sections describe the call setup time, which is an important indicator of
the quality of service of a mobile or fixed telephone network.
To provide comparable measurement results across various technologies, SwissQual
measurement tests need to rely on call features that are common to each technology,
for example, the setup time. This document describes the setup time that is generally
known as the call setup time in the system. For a description of other methods to cal-
culate setup time, see the Manual - NQDI - KPI Users Guide.pdf document.
Fig. 4-1: Call Setup Sequence (marker in bold)
A common definition for call setup time is the amount of time that occurs between the
push of the send, dial, or call button and the reception of an audio channel by the
called party (B-side device) from the calling party (A-side device). This reception is also
known as the switch to conversation mode. In figure 4-1, the call setup time is repre-
sented by the arrow between the Dial and Connected markers on the calling-party side
of the diagram.
This definition applies to intrusive voice and video telephony tests as well as to non-
intrusive voice call and call to any number tests that originate in GSM, UMTS, or ISDN
technologies.
Since CDMA, IS-136, and iDEN use tone detection, the Connected marker in these
technologies corresponds to the detection of the first audio signal.
Based on this definition, the call setup time can easily be calculated on digital net-
works. However, if one party uses an analog device or a technology that does not pro-
vide a protocol message to indicate a connection, the situation is more complex.
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 129

Dialing
D.1 Dialing
This section describes the dialing process during the call setup time of a measurement
test.
If the A-side device uses a PSTN device, the device needs to check the connected net-
work for a dial tone before calling. This action prompts the test to add a ‘Wait for Chan-
nel Ready’ message to the measurement file. After the dial tone is found, the PSTN
board dials the number and the test adds a Dialing.. message to the measurement file.
Mobile phone devices that use time-consuming key press emulation also add a Dialing
message to the measurement file.
At this point, the test starts the call setup timer and adds the Dial call marker to the
measurement file.
D.1.1 Incoming Call (B-Side Device)
An incoming call is only registered by the B-side device during an intrusive voice call or
video telephony call test.
The remaining voice call types do not have a log on the B-side device.
A test adds the Incoming Call marker to the measurement file when the B-side device
detects an incoming call. The device has an accept delay of 500 ms during which a
PSTN device tries to reliably determine the presence of an incoming call. Devices that
use other technology types simply wait during this delay period in order to retain com-
parability between the technologies in the measurement results. When a call is accep-
ted and the B-side device switches to conversation mode, the Connected marker is
added to the measurement file. After the connection is established, the B-side device
waits one second plus the "SyncDelay" time that you specified for the B-Side device in
the test configuration before sending the connectall.wav audio sequence.
D.1.2 Calling Party Connect (A-Side Device)
The test tries to set the Connected call marker when the A-side device switches to con-
versation mode. However, this marker cannot be set in PSTN or with technologies
such as IS-136 and CDMA. In an intrusive voice call, the B-side device sends the con-
nectall.wav audio sequence that the A-side searches for. Upon detection of the
sequence, the A-side calculates the connected time by determining the start of the syn-
chronization sequence and subtracting the sync delay and 1 second. This calculation
appears as connected (+ xxxms) in the measurement file, where the number in brack-
ets represents the time between the detection of sync and the time of the actual con-
nection.
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 130

Dialing
The audio channel is assumed to be present when the B-side device is connected.

SwissQual®...QualiPoc Fixed Duration Tests
Fixed Duration Test
E Fixed Duration Tests

The following sections describe the new variant of TCP-based data tests for Diversity,
including FTP, HTTP, and Capacity tests. This information is crucial to understanding
and collecting useful test data.
The technology in a wireless network can vary from location to location. This variation
can affect the data transfer speeds of a typical static quality measurement during a
drive test, for example, when you drive from a high bandwidth to a low bandwidth area.
If the intent of your measurement campaign is to determine the comprehensive aver-
age throughput of the network, the campaign will fail due to the different download and
upload speeds in the high and low bandwidth areas in your network.
The problem arises when you base this calculation on the number of successful trans-
fers of a complete file while driving at a constant speed for the duration of the test. Due
to the different throughput rates, more transfers are likely to complete in a high band-
width area than in a low bandwidth area over the same amount of time. As a result, the
statistics tend to be weighted in favour of the high bandwidth values, which can eclipse
the low bandwidth values.
The comparison of different networks with parallel benchmarking of standard non-fixed

duration tests can sometimes lead to incorrect and biased results.
To solve this problem, SwissQual has developed TCP-based fixed duration tests.
E.1 Fixed Duration Test

The fixed duration test calculates the average throughput values in a heterogeneous
wireless network. More specifically, the test measures the data transfer performance of
the network by uploading and downloading files with the FTP and HTTP TCP/IP proto-
cols. These tests yield more measurement results than tests in which the data transfer
must complete. A fixed duration test also measures the constant output of throughput
rates over time so that you can compare the comprehensive throughput averages or
map plots from different fixed duration tests.
A data transfer lasts for the entire duration of the test and then terminates, regardless
of whether the transfer successfully completed. As a result, the test can directly com-
pare the data transfer rates in a mixed high and low bandwidth network and calculate
the average expected throughput from a large number of samples that are evenly dis-
tributed over time.
E.2 Limitations
The fixed duration test does not calculate download success rates. That is, if a data
transfer successfully completes before the test ends, the test fails.

E.4 Configuring Fixed Duration Tests

This section describes how to configure FTP, HTTP, and Capacity tests with a fixed
duration in NQView.
E.4.1 FTP and HTTP Tests
This section describes how to enable the fixed duration option in an FTP or an HTTP
test.
To configure FTP and HTTP jobs as fixed duration tests

1. In the"Control" console of NQView, click "Tasks and Jobs" on the Navigation panel.
2. Right-click "Job definitions" in the tree and click "Add job".
3. Type a name for the job and click "OK".
4. In the "Data test" dialog box, type a name for the job.
5. In the "Test type" list click "FTP" or "HTTP".

a) In the "Max duration" box, specify the maximum duration for the test.
b) Select "Use as fixed duration".
c) In the "Host" box, type the address of the host server.
d) In the "Operation" area, specify the transfer direction.
e) Select a local or specify a remote file for the data transfer that is large enough
to not completely transfer during the test.
f) If necessary, specify the login information for the host server.
7. Click "Apply" and click "OK".
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 133

Configuring Fixed Duration Tests
Fig. 5-1: Enabling fixed duration test option
E.4.2 Capacity Test
By default, a Capacity test has a fixed duration, which you cannot disable. You need to
use files that are large enough to not completely transfer during the test. If one of the
active transfers completes during the test, the test fails. During this test, the files trans-
fer simultaneously.
The "Put" test uploads the files into the system RAM before the transfer starts. To
avoid overloading your system, do not select files that exceed the amount of available
RAM.
The "Get" test downloads files, the "Put" test uploads files, and the "Get and Put" test
downloads and uploads files
To create a Capacity test in NQView

1. In the "Control" console of NQView, click "Tasks and Jobs" on the Navigation
panel.
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 134

Configuring Fixed Duration Tests
2. Right-click "Job definitions" in the tree and click "Add job".
3. Type a name for the job and click "OK".
4. In the "Data test" dialog box, type a name for the test.

a) In the "Test type" list, click "Capacity".
b) Specify the remaining options for the test.
c) Click "Apply", and then click "OK".
Fig. 5-2: Configuration of the Capacity test
The data to be transferred are buffered between the TCP and application layers. The
buffering can lead to differences in the amount of received and sent data for the same
point in time on the two layers and differences in the measured throughput. To mini-
mize the difference to around 5% error, use a fixed duration that is longer than the
experienced throughput is.
Recommended fixed durations for single transfers (get or put) HTTP/FTP test:
● Throughput > 100kbps then 90s
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 135

Example Scenario and Results
● Throughput < 200kbps then 60s

Recommended fixed durations for multiple transfers (get or put) in a parallel Capacity
test:
The "Capacity Get" and "Put" test are not suitable for throughputs < 1000kbps (GSM in
general).
E.5 Example Scenario and Results

In the following scenario the data transfers occur in a commercially available applica-
tion stack. The stack receives commands from an external application, that is, the
measurement engine, which controls the timing. The timing starts with the engine send
the start command and ends when the engine sends the stop command after the con-
figured time elapses.
Fig. 5-3: Overview
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 136

Example Scenario and Results
Due to processing delays the fixed duration that you specify does not precisely match
the time that the transfer lasts.
E.5.1 Results
The fixed duration information is included in the measurement file as a test property.
This property appears as a special report item in the report generator.
To include fixed duration information in an NQDI report

1. Import the relevant file into NQDI.
2. On the "Data Selection" tab, click the "Test" tab.
3. On the "Test" tab, click the "Data" tab, and then click the "FTP" or "HTTP" tab.
4. Click the "Uncheck all selections" icon at the top of the "Data Selection" tab and
then click the "Refresh" icon .
5. Select "Fixed duration" and click "Fixed duration" in the list.
Fig. 5-4: Include fixed duration in FTP report
In the "Parameters" area of the results tab for the test, the "Test timeout" parame-
ter shows the fixed duration information.
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 137

TCP-Based KPIs
Fig. 5-5: Test timeout parameter
E.6 TCP-Based KPIs

This section describes the set of KPIs for fixed duration scenarios that have been
developed for release 11.1. Each FTP, HTTP, and Capacity test scenario has a corre-
sponding set of TCP-based KPIs.
Prior to release 11.1, KPIs were calculated differently, that is, after a non-fixed duration
when the download had successfully completed. This approach has been abandoned.
Fixed Duration KPIs are now calculated when you enable the fixed duration in the test
configuration. Non-fixed duration KPIs are only calculated when you do not enable the
fixed duration option. As of 11.1, the success and failure is also tied to the result of the
test. In previous versions, in particular 10.6.x or 11.0.x, mixed approaches were used.
The start triggers for the fixed duration TCP KPIs are the same as for the normal TCP
KPIs, for example, HTTP/1.1 200 OK for HTTPTransfer GET. The end trigger for a
fixed duration KPI is the last packet that contains data for downlink or the FIN;ACK for
the uplink KPIs. For more information, see the
Manual - NQDI - KPI Users Guide.pdf document. In general the retainability
KPIs are slightly shorter than the configured fixed duration.
E.6.1 FTP KPIs
The following KPIs are calculated for the FTP fixed duration scenario:
Manual 1612011351 ─ 13.1.1 138

TCP-Based KPIs
● 20310 Retainability FTP Uplink Fixed Duration

● 20311 Retainability FTP Downlink Fixed Duration
● 30310 Integrity FTP Uplink Fixed Duration
● 30311 Integrity FTP Downlink Fixed Duration
E.6.2 HTTP Transfer KPIs
The following KPIs are calculated for the HTTP Transfer fixed duration scenario:
● 20411 Retainability HTTP Transfer Get Fixed Duration
● 20412 Retainability HTTP Transfer Put Fixed Duration
● 30411 Integrity HTTP Transfer Get Fixed Duration
● 30412 Integrity HTTP Transfer Put Fixed Duration
E.6.3 Capacity KPIs
The following KPIs are calculated for the Capacity test fixed duration scenario:
● 20461 Retainability Capacity Get
● 20462 Retainability Capacity Put
● 20463 Retainability Capacity Get and Put
● 30461 Integrity Capacity Get
● 30462 Integrity Capability Put
● 30463 Integrity Capacity Get and Put
