New features
Enhanced video and audio quality measurements

The new implementation of Telchemy's industry-leading VQmon® performance analysis technology is now
running on both Android and Windows based platforms simultaneously. Switching between platforms is done
seamlessly depending on technology and test UE capabilities in different systems. The new method expands the
number of test handsets to be used for IP audio and IP video quality testing using Qualcomm and Exynos based
devices. It also provides quality metrics during transition between systems e.g. from VoLTE to VoWiFi.

VQMon® obtains quality metrics and analytics for both voice and video calls. It provides accurate QoE scores
and critical diagnostics for every VoIP call and mobile video session. It incorporates support for key
international standards including ITU-T P.564, ITU-T G.107, ITU-T G.1020, ETSI TS 101 329-5 Annex E and IETF
RFC 3611. VQmon is a "no-reference" algorithm that does not use the original reference signal.

Users do not need to configure any settings from Nemo Outdoor measurement properties except select the
audio file. Quality metrics are automatically reported for voice IP and video IP calls. Please note that certain
limitations apply depending on handset model, type and physical location. For example, handsets inside Nemo
Invex II HI modules or other enclosures cannot be used for video quality monitoring.

Requires license NTA50058A, “Nemo Media Router IMS audio and video call quality software option”. One
license per test device is required. Requires Nemo Media Router version 8.30 or higher.

Qualcomm-based WCDMA and CDMA2000 Terminals and
Data Cards
Nemo Outdoor is compatible with all devices labeled as “CDMA by Qualcomm” or “QUALCOMM 3G CDMA” using
the Qualcomm chipsets. However, Keysight Network Testing cannot guarantee full functionality when a test
terminal is used with a Qualcomm-compatible handler. Video calls, for example, might not work. Please see the
separate document Nemo Outdoor 8.3.0 Compatible Devices.pdf. for a list of verified Qualcomm-based CDMA
and WCDMA terminals.

CDMA terminals with or without RUIM card purchased from Keysight Network Testing must be registered with
a local CDMA operator. Keysight Network Testing does not take any responsibility if a local operator restricts
the registration of test terminal(s) supplied by Keysight Network Testing.

Qualcomm Software Handler Updates

New component carrier and MIMO metrics

The new metrics present statistical information calculated from all CA carriers during the reporting period and
aggregates the impact of all CA carriers to single metrics for easier visualization and map plotting. The link
adaptation summary (PLAISUM) event is logged/aggregated after packet link adaptation information for
downlink events for all serving cells (PLAID). TTIs with no data are considered in the calculations.

• Total DL PRB usage


o The average of the total downlink PRB allocation across all serving cells
• Total DL PRB utilization (%)
o Percentage of PRBs utilized over the reporting period and over all serving cells. Indicates the

QoS & QoE Testing

Application throughput downlink 1s


The latest release introduces a new KPI called “Application throughput downlink 1s” and it is defined as
follows:

• Start trigger point: First packet containing content (same as ETSI method A)
• Stop trigger point: 1 second from the start trigger point

The new KPI is supported with FTP, HTTP and HTTP browsing data protocols. It includes payload data from all
sockets including HTTP headers. The parameter is useful especially with the HTTP browsing with dynamic
content such as ads etc. without a well-defined last data packet. Currently, the parameter is supported with PC-
based measurements only. Nemo Media Router (on-device measurements) support will be available 4Q/2018.

Figure 8. Trigger points.

Requirements:

• Network Monitor must be installed


• IP capture must be enabled (no need for logging)
• IPv6 must be disabled from device network settings
User Interface Updates

New Wait command- Time Synchronization Point

The new “Time Synchronization Point” command in scripts is useful especially when mobile-to-mobile test calls
are made between different two field units as it eliminates any possible delay variables with call setup and call
disconnections. It provides accurate time synchronization on both A- and B- sides with multiple devices. Also,
when a certain command must be executed exactly after an elapsed time (t=0) with more than one device.

Each time the script runs into a Time Synchronization Point, it checks the elapsed time from the previous Time
Synchronization Point and waits until the wait time condition is met. This way the script engine keeps the
original reference time point of (t=0) regardless of script iteration in order to prevent time from drifting.

Example: Imagine running the script below three times:

1. Make Call (duration=30 sec)

2. End Call

3. Wait (Sync Point 60 sec)

4. Receive Call (timeout=45 sec)

6. Wait (Sync Point 90 sec)

Iteration #1:

Sync Point #1: Check if (60) secs have been elapsed since (t=0)

Sync Point #2: Check if (60+90) secs have been elapsed since (t=0)

Iteration #2:

Sync Point #1: Check if (60+90+60) secs have been elapsed since (t=0)

Sync Point #2: Check if (60+90+60+90) secs have been elapsed since (t=0)

Iteration #3:

Sync Point #1: Check if (60+90+60+90+60) secs have been elapsed since (t=0)

Sync Point #2: Check if (60+90+60+90+60+90) secs have been elapsed since (t=0)
Figure 9. A-party script file.
Figure 10. B-party script file.

Miscellaneous

• Measurement profiles can be copied. This makes it easier and faster to make new measurement
profiles with different settings e.g. for FTP data transfers
• Graphical script engine improvement: Draw implementation has been changed so that sequential
command starts on the same line
• Added application name and operation to function column of script editor. This helps identifying what
is the application and operation command without opening the command line
• User definable frequency units (Hz, kHz, MHz and GHz) for different UI controls
• Added feature to hide current position icon in map window. Useful e.g. when taking screenshots
• Notification icons updated

Limitations and Issues with Windows 7 Operating System


The following limitations with Windows 7 operating system have been noticed and verified by Keysight Finland
or informed by the vendors:

- Debug logging needs administrative privileges if User Account Control Settings (UAC) is enabled. It is
recommended to change the UAC settings to Never notify. This can be done via User Account Control
Settings.
- If UAC is set to always notify it might cause issues with data testing. PS connection can be established but
data transfer cannot be done. It is recommended to change the UAC settings to Never notify. This can be
done via User Account Control Settings.
Figure 12. UAC settings.

Known Issues
Test device related known issues for UEs, scanners, and other devices are listed in a separate document:
(Nemo_Outdoor Test_Device_Technical_Notes).

General and user interface

Note that if there is a system that measures acceleration in the laptop and that causes the
hard disk to stop when jolted, it should be turned off. Otherwise there may be breaks in
the measurement files. With voice quality testing this can be seen with missing MOS
scores, and with other test devices with gaps in the measurement results.

Figure 13. Lenovo active protection system properties.


- Google map issues:
- 22449: Map layers flash too often
- 22450: Using "Points of interest" interferes with the layer drawing
- Auto center is disabled when map is moved by user

- Scanner profile files:


- Scanner profile files is supported only with on-line mode
- NB-IoT scanning profile not supported with initial release

- Script is not started when "Start measurement list on startup" is chosen from UI properties

- 23037: Moved indoor markers are not saved to .mrk file if it is compressed

Nemo Analyze
- Nemo Analyze initialization fails if Nemo Analyze is already open and the user clicks the Analyze button in
the Nemo Outdoor UI to open the files.

- Export to Nemo Analyze. When an open workbook or open report is selected, the loaded measurement file
is shown twice in the Analyze Measurements database, i.e., there are two number 1 devices in the
measurements database.

o With DL + UL mode application throughput DL do not report any values

• UDP iPERF:
o With DL + UL mode application throughput DL do not report any values

- 22936: Access Point Name (APN) must be defined in the test handset. APN used in the script file is ignored
by NMR application.

- Team Viewer version 11 should be used with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Note 5 handsets.

- GPS fix source type (Glonass/GPS) cannot be identified when using NMR for GPS data.
- Packet capturing, full logging should be used only for troubleshooting purposes as the file size of the packet
capturing file is limited by the memory of the test handset. Error message is shown in the Nemo Outdoor
user interface when the memory is full.
- Remote TeamViewer UI control and monitoring:

- If the user has already started a PC client connection to the device before NMR is asked to start
accepting connections, it may take over 30s for the connection to succeed.

- Screen power saver should be disabled, because TeamViewer will not work if the screen is not
visible. Occasionally TeamViewer connection to the handset fails. Try again.

- Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9197) and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge SM-G935F (Optus) do not
support remote control.

- HTTP/HTTPS browsing

- As redirection is allowed with NMR version 2.40 onwards with certain web pages, the browser
may prompt to use the mobile versions of websites instead of the full versions and also ask to add
local weather information, etc. If the user does not select any option, the web page is not loaded.
Therefore, it is important to pretest the web page using the internet browser of the phone before
measurements, including browsing. An alternative method is to change the user agent settings via
the Android browser. In case the handset is inside the Nemo Invex HI module, use a Teamviewer
remote connection to change the settings:
1. In the address bar, type: about:debug and hit return

2. Go to the settings menu and look for the UAString

3. Open up UAString and select desktop


4. Return to your browser. Browser will be seen as a desktop browser when you visit
sites.
- Ping testing using delay from reply to request does not work using NMR. Workaround is to use delay
between requests. Repeat until stopped is not supported at the moment and repeat X times should be used.

- WLAN measurements via Nemo Media Router

Nemo Backpack and Nemo Carrying Case

Issue with hub downstream USB port power. The USB hub occasionally leaves the hub downstream USB port
power off when the hub is started after a long period of being powered down.

Please download the Acroname software package from here:


https://acroname.com/system/files/software/brainstem_dev_kit_mswindows_i386_1.zip

After unzipping the file, you will find a tool called Hubtool under the /bin folder which will allow you to connect
to the hub and check the status of each port. With the Hubtool you can switch on each individual port and save
the configuration (see image below).
Figure 14. Acroname HubTool.

Nemo Multi Lite and Nemo Walker II

Nemo Multi Lite

- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G/ F/ T handsets must be removed from the holders before closing the lid.
Otherwise closing the lid will damage the handsets. The suitcase has not been designed for bigger handsets,
such as Note 4.
- When using max. six Samsung smartphones (e.g. Note 4 handsets), the system cannot charge all handsets,
and therefore the batteries of the test handsets will run out. It is recommended to start testing with fully
loaded batteries. For example, with YouTube testing, measurement duration is limited to ~four hours.

Nemo Walker II

- “Number of USB devices exceeded” error messages might appear with certain laptops when more than five
test UEs are connected to USB hubs. Issue is seen especially with Lenovo Yoga laptops. It is advised to
connect max. four UEs per USB hub. With computers having both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, it is advised to
connect the first USB data cable to USB 2.0 port and the second USB data cable to USB 3.0 port. Disabling
USB 3.0 from the BIOS is also an alternative with laptops running Windows 8.x OS. Laptops with Windows 7
OS, uninstalling the Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver via add/ remove program can be
done. The recommended laptop with up to eight test handsets is Lenovo T430S.
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G/ F or similar size of handsets cannot be used with the Nemo Backpack
2.0 chassis. Chassis has not been designed for big handsets, such as, Note 4.
Applications and protocols

Dropbox testing

- File size is not written to the DREQ event, and because of that, the device status does not show a progress
bar for DL or UL transfers.
- With uplink data transfers the UL data throughput goes up and down. This is normal behavior as the
uploaded files are split to 4MB fragments and uploaded to server with separate upload commands.

- With multi-data transfers, e.g. benchmarking Dropbox testing, different local file names must be used for
each test device. In multi-script it means that you can download the same file with all devices, but you must
write it with different names to the local disk.

PEVQ-S streaming analysis (PC-based using Flash player)

- Only one active PEVQ-S connection is supported per PC. Only one active PS connection is allowed while
executing PEVQ streaming. When multiple test handsets are connected to the same PC, a PS connection
with only the test handset executing PEVQ-S testing is allowed.

- If a test handset has Nemo Media Router application installed, it prevents PEVQ-S testing as NMR test
handsets are always online. In such case, to run multiple PEVQ-S connections simultaneously, a dedicated
PC is required with only one NMR test handset connected to the PC.

- 22458: Video MOS is not available when test device has IPv6 address assigned

Facebook testing

- Effective from 1st of August 2018. Facebook have tightened developer account conditions and all developer
accounts need to be re-validated. Submission process is ongoing but the following Facebook operations are
not yet approved:

- Get friend list


- Post a status update

- Post an image

- Post a video
- The only operation approved currently is the “Get user feed”. This means that operations listed above will
be blocked by Facebook and cannot be tested with Nemo collection tools.

- Facebook limits the number of status updates and image postings


- If you see an error message, it means the Facebook limit has been reached. It is not a permanent
error, so the feed will continue to work, and once the limit is reset on Facebook’s end (daily), new
posts will be posted again automatically

- Currently each app is given an allotment of 200 API calls per user in any given 60-minute window.
Please note that Facebook can change this limit. Please see more details from:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/advanced/rate-limiting

- Custom Facebook test applications offer more flexibilities to test Facebook with drive test tools as
some of the limits seen with normal Facebook apps do not apply, such as number of allowed
postings per hour. Please see the following link for further information:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps
- To create your own Facebook test application, please login to
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/register

- If Facebook benchmarking is done using a commercial laptop, the same user account settings must be used
with all test devices

Instagram testing

- Due to changes in the application login (GDPR policy), Instagram testing cannot be done with Nemo
Outdoor and Nemo Invex II. Issue will be fixed to version 8.3.1.

- Due to changes in the application permission policy and in the application protocol interface (API)
provided by Instagram the following Instagram operations cannot be supported:
- Load user feed

- Load popular feed

- Search media with a tag


- Customers can continue to test accessibility to Instagram service using the Load self- feed operation only.
Old script files can be used but operations that are not supported are ignored.

VoLTE / IMS SMS / ViLTE / VoWiFi/ ViWiFi

- Call type in the call attempt event (CAA) is written as a voice call, not VoLTE or WLAN IMS voice call when a
call is generated via Nemo Outdoor user interface. This is because the call type is unknown at the time of
the call attempt. Call type in the call connection event (CAC) should be observed.

- When enabling WLAN measurement from Nemo Outdoor, a notification Turning on Wi-Fi will turn off USB
Tethering. Continue? is shown in device UI. WLAN will not be activated before the user responds to the
dialog. This dialog will not affect the functionality, the connection between NMR and Nemo Outdoor stays
active.

VQMon

- Audio and video quality metrics are not reported after system change from cellular to Wi-Fi

- Absolute and relative Video/audio quality MOS DL and UL are not reported

USSD testing:

- USSD testing is not supported with Huawei and Shannon based UEs

FTP UL data transfers:

- Occasionally FTP UL data throughput values can exceed the maximum value supported by the network.
This is seen at the beginning of data transfers. The root cause is that the operating system can buffer the
data.

CDMA SMS end-to-end testing

- To be able to calculate end-to-end delivery time, SMS testing must be done using the same operator
between two terminals. This is due to the fact that SMS message ID changes from operator to operator.
Troubleshooting Device Connectivity Issues
In general, all power saving options should be disabled and high performance power settings should be used.
Battery stretch should not be used and USB port power saving option should be deselected.

Figure 15. Generic USB hub properties

Troubleshooting Data Transfer Issues


PS connection works but no data

If UAC is set to always notify it might cause issues with data testing. PS connection can be established but data
transfer cannot be done. It is recommended to change the UAC settings to Never notify. This can be done via
User Account Control Settings. If the UAC settings cannot be changed it is highly recommended to start Nemo
Outdoor application with administration rights by right-clicking Nemo Outdoor icon and by selecting Run as
administrator.

Figure 16. UAC settings.


Antivirus filtering

Disable antivirus application and Windows firewall. If data transfer still does not work, please do the following:

- Activate PS connection (activate PDP context)

- Go to Network settings and choose appropriate connection assigned for the device. Go to Connection
properties and check that antivirus NDIS filtering is unchecked.

Figure 17. Network connections.

Figure 18. Antivirus NDIS Filter.

Low data throughputs

In case lower data throughputs are received with Nemo Outdoor compared to third-party applications, read this
document for troubleshooting throughput problems with various TCP-based protocols. Please note that the
following applies to PC-based data transfers, not to data transfers made by Nemo Media Router application
running on Android-based smartphone. If you experience low data throughput with Nemo Media Router
application, please see the chapter Low data throughput with Nemo Media Router application.

In case low throughput values are monitored with Nemo Outdoor and also with third-party applications, the
issue can most likely be seen by observing link adaptation parameters.
For example, low average CQI and high MAC-HS 3rd retransmission rate indicate an area of bad coverage or
high interference. Low HS-SCCH usage rate (= high HSDPA DTX percentage ratio) points to capacity, server, or
transmission problems.

In LTE networks, observe physical resource block allocation (PRB) and signal to noise ratio (SNR). PRB affects
throughput directly. Values less than maximum may indicate other users in the cell, a bottleneck in the
transmission network, or not enough data to be sent (application does not need all the available bandwidth). If
data throughputs in LTE are lower than expected, it is recommended to adjust the buffer size via Nemo Outdoor
user interface, for example, to value 1024. It should be noted that buffer size must be adjusted separately for
each protocol (e.g. for FTP and HTTP).

When requested throughput is much higher than the actual measured throughput, it may indicate that there are
other users sharing the radio resources of the cell or some other bottleneck in the network that prevents the
mobile from getting the maximum achievable throughput.

High PUSCH TX power values indicate a lack of uplink coverage.

When operating in the dynamic range of link adaptation, average BLER (PDSCH BLER) should be higher than 0,
typically 10-20%, in order to achieve the gain of HARQ retransmission scheme.

Residual BLER after all HARQ retransmissions should be 0%. Higher values indicate that the radio link is about
to drop. Observe the MAC downlink/uplink residual BLER (%) values.

Other things that could help troubleshooting:

- Disable any firewall and/or antivirus software that could reduce the throughput. Some HSPA USB interfaces
may also install their own software which may affect to window size settings in registry.

- Disable IP packet monitoring from the Advanced properties.

Figure 19. IP packet capture settings.

- Try another FTP server for comparison.


- Command prompt FTP throughput. This comparison is recommended because command prompt FTP does
not use any multithreading or other non-standard methods. For better results, keep Nemo Outdoor at the
background measuring the mobile network while making the transfers. Also try different servers.
- For Nemo Outdoor 5.60 and older versions: Run a script with simultaneous FTP transfers to see if the
throughput increases. Does not work manually, script is always needed.
- For Nemo Outdoor 5.70 and later versions: Use the multithread feature of the FTP protocol to test
simultaneous transfers. Works also manually

- For Nemo Outdoor 6.30 and later versions: Transmit/receive buffer size should not be mixed with the TCP
receive window size which is the global setting. TCP receive window size affects the TCP/ IP layer whereas
transfer buffer size affects the application layer. Transfer buffer size can be adjusted per socket. This means
that the transfer buffer size can be adjusted for each test UE separately. Transfer buffer size can be adjusted
with the FTP, SFTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, and IMAP protocols
- When buffer size is not checked from user interface, Nemo Outdoor checks if auto-tuning is on with
Windows 7. If auto-tuning is on, no values are set. Otherwise the static value 64k is used.

- Normally default buffer values are acceptable. But if low data throughputs are still experienced, increasing
the receive/transmit buffer size may increase data throughput.

- In uplink direction, transfer buffer size that is too high can be seen as high data throughput peak at the
beginning of the data session. For example, it is possible that measured data throughput peak is higher than
what the cellular system supports. In this case, decreasing the transfer buffer size in uplink direction will
eliminate high data throughput peaks.

Figure 20. Data transfer settings.

- Make a comparison test between Nemo Outdoor and the connection manager used with the device. When
configuring a device with Nemo Outdoor, only the trace port should be defined. The modem port and dial-
up connection must be left blank. As ports are left blank it is not possible to perform a manual PDP context
activation or data transfer via Nemo Outdoor. However, a script file with data connection commands can be
used. Script files should include only data transfer commands, not Attach/detach or PDP context activation
or deactivation commands. Start a data transfer and observe the application data throughput value. Do the
same test again but this time make a connection using Nemo Outdoor.

All Windows versions

How to check the TCP window size from packet logs:

Using Wireshark:

1. Check the .pcap file and look at the (non FTP-DATA) TCP traffic in the middle of the transfer.
Window size value tells the current TCP window size used.
Using Nemo Outdoor:

1. Open a packet grid window in Nemo Outdoor.


2. Look at the TCP traffic in the middle of an FTP transfer with PayloadLen=0:

3. Double-click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows the
current value.

Using debug logs (for developers, help desk, etc.):

1. Look for the GetWindowSizeFromRegistry() function.

- TCP Window size set to n = Value found from registry.

- TCP Window size set to default: n = Value not found from registry. Set to default.
- TCP Auto-Tuning detected. Window size not set. = Windows Vista/7 is using auto-tuning TCP window.

- A measurement file (.nmf) does not save window size info. Packet log and/or debug log is always needed.

Windows 7

Windows 7 does not use static window sizes from the registry. They rely on dynamic window size which is
handled by TCP auto tuning feature. However, if the same registry value that Windows uses is set, Nemo
Outdoor reads it and adjusts the manual window size based on this value. In most cases, the registry has been
edited by a third-party software or a USB mobile interface driver/software. This registry entry can be removed.

If the TCP auto-tuning is disabled Nemo Outdoor will use its default window size 64 KB. Nemo Outdoor 5.40
and newer checks the auto-tuning state and does not change any window sizes if auto-tuning is enabled.
How to check TCP auto-tuning state:

1. Open command prompt by typing “CMD” to ”Search programs and files” field.

2. Type ”netsh interface tcp show global”. Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level shows the
current state.

Please note that administrator rights are required to change auto-tuning settings.

3. Open command prompt by typing “CMD” to ”Search programs and files” field. Right-click and select Run
as administrator.

Figure 21. Run as administrator.

4. To disable auto-tuning type “netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled”. This limits the TCP
window size to 64KB. However, Nemo Outdoor sets its own default 256KB when auto-tuning is
disabled.
5. To increase the maximum TCP window size that auto-tuning uses, type “netsh interface tcp set global
autotuning=highlyrestricted”.
6. Below are all the values of auto-tuning level with explanations:

- disabled: Uses a fixed value for the TCP receive window. Limits to 64 KB (65535).

- highlyrestricted: Recommended. Allows the receive window to grow beyond its default value, very
conservatively.
- restricted: Recommended. Somewhat restricted growth of the TCP receive window beyond its default
value.

- normal: Default value. Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate most conditions.

- experimental: Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate extreme scenarios (not recommended,
it can degrade performance in common scenarios, only intended for research purposes). It enables receive
window values of over 16 MB.

Issues with HTTP browsing testing

Selecting Automatic configuration or Proxy settings can cause problems with HTTP browsing testing, such as,
increase the page downloading time. In such a case, automatic/ proxy settings should be disabled. From Nemo
Outdoor 7.7.0 onwards, proxy settings can be enabled.

Figure 22. LAN settings.

Low data throughput with Nemo Media Router application

New Android-based smartphones with Android version 6.0 have battery optimization enabled by default. It will
stop some CPU and network activity operating in the background for Android apps, thus saving battery. Battery
optimization is activated when handset is left idle for a period of time, while unplugged and with the screen off.
Battery saving mode interrupt background activity for Android applications such as Nemo Media Router. E.g.
with data transfers this is seen with limited data throughput values. Battery saving option is disabled by default
for the handsets delivered by Keysight Network Testing. However, in case of low data throughput is
experienced the following settings should be checked and battery optimization should be disabled for all
applications. Please note that settings menu varies depending on handset vendor and model. Step by step
instructions per handset can be found from the device configuration guide.

1. Select phone's settings.


2. Select battery from the device list and select battery optimization from the menu icon at the top-right
of the screen.
3. Select all apps from the drop-down menu in the center of the display. Now you'll see all the apps that
are Doze-enabled.
Figure 23. Battery optimization settings.

4. Select Don’t optimize for all apps and then tap Done.
5. Now you're set up.
