1 Introduction
For true benchmarking, monitoring, rollout, and analysis and troubleshooting of 5G, IoT, LoRA, LTE, UMTS,
GSM, CDMA, TD-SCDMA and WiMAXwireless networks, InfoVista Network Testing offers the post-processing
tool TEMS™ Discovery Professional and Enterprise.
TEMS Discovery is highly configurable and extremely user-friendly. It allows engineers to easily assess wireless
performance and quickly pinpoint network problems.
Highly automatic data processing increases the efficiency and provides instant access to knowledge about the
behavior and performance of your network. No other product can match the variety of information elements that
TEMS Discovery handles, allowing thorough analysis of the collected data. With comprehensive GIS data support
and display you can pinpoint and visualize network problems.
Analyzing air interface measurements in TEMS Discovery is the only way to obtain a truly adequate picture of the
network, thanks to the many unique and advanced features within TEMS Discovery that competing reporting and
analysis products cannot match.
TEMS Discovery helps operators to:
• Increase revenue: Problems can be located and fixed before they start affecting customers,
improving customer satisfaction and reducing churn. Fewer blocked and dropped calls mean more
call time and higher earnings. A high quality of service also helps to attract new subscribers.
• Optimize investments: A wireless telecom network represents a huge investment and needs
optimization to bring the best possible return. TEMS Discovery helps when analyzing the collected
data, allowing you to make wise investment decisions. It can also be used to test new features
before rollout to ensure their performance in the live network.
• Maximize their competitive edge: With TEMS Discovery the entire network is scrutinized down to
the smallest detail. Every single event, all important key performance indicators (KPIs), any signs of
network degradation, and many other network issues are examined continuously. This keeps your
network at the highest possible quality, leaving competitors behind.
• Speed up rollout and verification of new technology: Analyzing huge data volumes takes a lot of
time and with TEMS Discovery the process can be simplified and focused on detecting and solving
problems – not only processing data. With the introduction of the new diagnostics features in TEMS
Discovery, users can pinpoint issues in network configuration and other problems that can be time-
consuming to identify. Using diagnostics, they can find the signatures of the problems and highlight
them.
TEMS Discovery provides comprehensive data processing for both packet-switched and circuit-switched data and
supports all major radio technologies.
This data processing uses multiple data sources, such as measurement data from drive test devices and
scanners, as well as GIS data, network cell configuration and parameters, neighbor lists, and antenna patterns.
To complete the picture, drive test data can be synchronized with network call traces and IP traces (libpcap).
For the new 5G, for example, TEMS Discovery supports analysis of both 5G scanner data and 5G device data
from all supported drive test tool vendors, more than hundreds of 5G information elements, events, and cell data
items.
With TEMS Discovery, you will increase your efficiency and profit via:
Easy and extensive customization capabilities: The various views and Data Explorers can be arranged in
countless combinations. Multiple sub-views for easy side-by-side comparison or the more conventional views with
maps (including Google Maps and Microsoft Bing Maps, through license agreements), time series, messages,
tables, histograms, or reports – the choice is yours. In addition, TEMS Discovery includes a completely
customizable report template builder, key information settings, analysis sets, point detail configuration, and more.
Figure 1. Example of the highly configurable user interface of TEMS Discovery
Low total cost of ownership: The software can be deployed with minimal IT system requirements and with
minimal dependence on third-party software. Large volumes of data are handled with low memory demand, and
the intuitive interface provides a fast learning curve and reduced analysis time. There is also integrated online
access to free or low-cost GIS data sources.
Flexible deployment architecture: Network configuration is easy to set up with minimal platform requirements
and allows for collaboration of engineers across functional roles and geographies. The processed data is instantly
accessible across the organization and provides highly organized information, with an unlimited number of
composite data sets.
Multivendor capabilities. TEMS Discovery handles a variety of drive test tools and is thus the only post-
processing tool you need to learn, maintain, and upgrade.
Designed for in-vehicle, in-building and pedestrian-area testing, TEMS Investigation’s powerful and versatile
features are essential throughout the network’s life cycle. Using TEMS Investigation, operators can increase
accessibility, improve retainability and heighten service performance.
1.1 TEMS Discovery Portfolio
The TEMS Discovery portfolio is easy to configure according to your post-processing needs, starting from single
logfile analysis in TEMS Discovery Professional, up to a fully automated centralized post-processing solution
based on TEMS Discovery Enterprise.
1.2 Who Is TEMS Discovery Intended For?

TEMS Discovery is designed to benefit all levels of the operator’s organization.
• RF engineers are notified of all sorts of local malfunctions (weak signal reception, bad C/I, low data
throughput, etc.), prompting them to try out various tweaks to the network configuration. TEMS
Discovery provides easy access to information elements as well as on-demand data extraction and
intelligence embedding with the Script Builder, for pinpointing and evaluating network problem
areas. Advanced R&D staff can also use TEMS Discovery as a research tool in the rollout stage of
emerging technologies, because it provides customization of scripts.
• Managers are able to supervise the organization’s processes and services. They can keep track of
any events or metrics of interest (dropped call rate, to give just one example) by studying reports
easily defined with the Report Builder. They are aided in making decisions on investments and
organizational improvements. By getting a tighter grip on the network’s end-to-end voice and data
quality, the company is also in a better position to offer customers reliable service level agreements.
• Network planners learn about spots with recurrent problems by requesting statistics confined to
specific areas. This helps reveal deficiencies in the network layout or the underlying theoretical
models, while also providing input for improvements. As a result, planners are able to boost network
utilization and get maximum mileage out of the existing network before new investments are made.
• Marketing staff can extract statistics on usage patterns, furnishing the basis for precisely targeted
advertising campaigns. Being more intimately familiar with the network’s quality of service,
marketers can also work out more advanced and precise charges for various services. It is less risky
to promise, and charge for, quality that has been thoroughly assured.
• The Customer care unit can order coverage information to enlighten customers who are making
complaints or enquiries. Complaints can be cross-checked against network status reports to help
determine whether a problem resides in the network or in the customer’s handset.

resolution in rural areas)
• Holes can be defined in regions, for additional binning (and filtering) options
3.1.6 Powerful Data Filtering
In order to find specific information among the collected data, no matter how well organized it is, you need a
filtering function that assists you in this complex task.
Figure 13. Efficient filtering of data
You have several filtering options that, whether used individually or combined, bring out the wanted information.
Those filtering options are:
• Geographical regions
• Network sector groups
• User-defined metric-based conditions
• User-defined problem set
• Data collection date
• Data processing date
• User-defined event set
3.1.7 Diagnostics
Diagnostics (intelligent rule-based analysis) is a supremely powerful feature that will help you to pinpoint existing
or potential problem areas that are often difficult and tedious to locate manually. The diagnostics are designed to
reveal weaknesses related to cell configuration, tuning and optimization, accessibility, retainability, and integrity.
Diagnostics are also used for classification of problem events like drop, block, etc.
Examples of diagnostics included in TEMS Discovery
• Speech quality due to radio or core network issues
• Low PESQ categorization on WCDMA (due to missing neighbor, pilot pollution, etc.)
• Dropped call categorization for GSM, WCDMA and LTE
• Dropped call diagnostics based on 3GPP recommendations, indicating radio link failure caused
by too-early handover or by handover to the wrong cell
• WCDMA and LTE root cause analysis like “over shooter,” “swapped feeder” and “high
latency”
3.1.8 Extensive Data Sharing Across the Organization

3.2 Analysis Views
This section highlights some of the views that will assist you in analyzing your network. The intention is not to
provide a comprehensive description of all details but to give you a taste of the capabilities of TEMS Discovery.
3.2.1 Map View

The Map View is a multilayer display that can show multiple data sets, multiple cell configurations, and multiple
GIS in the same view. To display data in the Map View, you simply drag the data object from the Data Explorer
and drop it into the Map View.
Figure 15. Map View presenting multiple types of data (drive tests, GIS, indoor floor print, cell
configuration) in multiple synchronized or nonsynchronized subviews, multimetrics displayed with offset,
and floating legends
TEMS Discovery supports terrain elevation data, raster image data, vector files as well as Google or Bing for
online maps. You can download free high-resolution aerial images and terrain elevation data directly from several
GIS servers worldwide.
Multiple synchronized subviews can easily be created for extensive geographical comparison and analysis .
Cell sites can then be plotted on the map. Cell names, identities, or any other labels can be presented next to the
cell site symbol. Clicking a site displays information about it.
Figure 16. Indoor drive test data can also be displayed with high-resolution satellite images as
background
Here are some of the useful functions of the Map View:

• Spider movement tool: Displays ray lines that link the data point to the appropriate sector for serving
and neighboring sites.
• Sector coverage tool: Makes it possible to click on a sector to view its coverage.
• IntelliSense tool: Displays the information of a data object in a tool tip while moving the mouse over that
data object.
• Neighbor list IntelliSense tool: Displays ray lines that link to neighboring sectors, when moving the
mouse over a sector.
• Antenna pattern viewer tool: Makes it possible to click on a sector to view its antenna pattern.
• Terrain path profile tool: Displays the terrain path profile when clicking and holding to draw a path.
In addition, the Map View display can be captured as an image file or be exported as a TIFF file or GIS package.
You can also generate a PDF file or print the Map View display.
3.2.2 Time-series Chart View
The Time-series Chart displays how the values of radio parameters evolve over time. Several parameters can be
plotted in the same chart to enable quick inspection of correlation. Important time chart features include:
• Zooming and panning
• Events shown
• Multiple (up to 6 x 5) synchronized subviews in each chart
Figure 17. Time-series Chart displaying multiple metrics and events. Coloring indicates changes in
active set membership.
• Color coding of the metrics is displayed

• The user can place a label with user-defined text in the chart
• The Time-series Chart display can be printed and saved as an image file
3.2.3 Message View
The Message View contains two panels. The left-hand panel is a spreadsheet that lists the messages in time
sequence, and the right-hand panel displays detailed information of the selected message at the left.
Figure 18. Message View listing filtered messages and detailed information
In the Message View, you can:

• Open a Layer 3 IE explorer.
• Decide on the most interesting information to display in the KeyInfo column.
• Apply suitable colors to your messages, for easier viewing.
• Filter the messages:
– By mobile ID
– By type of information
– By selected message
– By KeyInfo
• Export the messages to a text file.
3.2.4 Table View
Table View provides a tabular display of multiple metrics and events, and the data can be exported to Excel or
MapInfo MID/MIF.
Figure 19. Table View metric presentation
The Table View can also display a statistical report of the metrics.
Figure 20. Table View statistical presentation
3.2.5 Point Details View

The Point Details View provides a convenient overview of detailed information from a particular time or location.
By moving the cursor into the Map View and Time Chart, or by changing the row selection in the spreadsheet of
the Message View and Table View, the detailed information will be displayed as shown below.
Figure 21. The Point Details View displays detailed information about a specific measurement sample
or message
You control what to display by selecting a specific user-configurable metric group from the configuration combo
box. You can also edit or sort the displayed metric group.
The Point Details View can also be displayed in the Map View as tool tip information.
Figure 22. The tool tip displays detailed information about a specific measurement
3.2.6 Instant Chart View

The Instant Chart View is a user-configurable view for graphical display of a set of array data. Features include:
• Multiple configurations
• Instant bar chart view with optional Table View
• Multiple chart space and multiple metrics
• Fixed or metric-based coloring
Examples of usage:
• Scanner or phone data: Ec/Io and RSCP for all pilots on one or multiple UARFCNs
• Transport channel information: Configuration, state, and throughput of concurrent channels
• Adjacent channel analysis: Graphic visualization of the channel strength of adjacent channels
Figure 23. Instant Chart View
3.2.7 Metric Correlation View
Metric correlation enables the indication of a linear/nonlinear relationship between two metrics. You simply drag a
metric data object from the Data Explorer and drop it into the Metric Correlation View, then drag another metric
data object and drop it into the same view. The relationship between these two metrics is then established with
the least squares fitting mathematical procedure.
Figure 24. Metric Correlation View showing relation between metrics, multiple comparison
3.2.8 Problem Summary View

This view summarizes device problems based on predefined or user-configurable problem sets (dropped calls,
handover failures, etc.). You drag and drop devices into the view and if a device has problems, its background
color will change from white to orange.
You can choose to display all devices or only those with problems. You can view the details of a problem for a
particular device or analyze the device itself.
All problem-related information can be saved to Excel.
From the Problem Summary View you can open the problem file with an analysis set designed to evaluate the
specific problem at hand.
Figure 25. Problem Summary View enabling easy analysis of devices with problems
3.2.9 Histogram View
The Histogram View is for graphical display of metric data showing the proportion of data that falls into each
specific plot band. The graphical display of metric data can be shown as a bar graph, a 2D pie chart, or a 3D pie
chart. All options can be freely converted from one to the other.
Figure 26. The Histogram View displaying metric data in various charts
3.2.10 Multidimension Statistic View
Multidimension Statistic View displays on-demand statistical data for multiple metrics in multiple user-selected
dimensions. The user can filter data by using the built-in dimensions device attributes, time and date, UDR, cell
configuration, or the user can define a new dimension from any metric by dragging and dropping the metric. The
Multidimension Statistic View supports different statistical aggregation methods including mean, max, min, count,
standard deviation, etc.
Figure 27. Multidimension Statistic View displaying metric data
The Multidimension Statistic View also provides a chart presentation of the selected data in the table .
Figure 28. Multidimension view chart presentation
To drill down to the details behind the statistical data, you can click on a cell in the grid and a list of files will be
generated in the spreadsheet. You can save the list to file, create a composite data set from the list, or generate a
report from the list. All data can be exported to external files.
3.2.11 Sector Statistic View

The Sector Statistic View displays a metric per sector binning; its functions are similar to those of the Table View.
To display data in the Sector Statistic View, drag the metric data object from the Data Explorer and drop it into the
Sector Statistic View.
Figure 29. Sector Statistic View
3.3 Scripting and Reporting
3.3.1 Script Builder

TEMS Discovery provides an easy-to-use scripting capability with the built-in Script Builder. With the Script
Builder, new metrics or events can be defined by combining already defined metrics and events.
With the Script Builder you can define:
• New metrics, either based on all built-in metrics or on those extracted from any Layer 3 message. One
example of a new metric would be mean signal strength three seconds before a handover.
• New events, with combinations of defined events, metric thresholds, or Layer 3 messages. An example
of a new event would be handover failure due to bad coverage. In this case, the built-in dropped call
event is the trigger event and if the signal strength three seconds before handover is below a defined
threshold, then the new event is generated.
All new metrics and events defined will be available in all tools in the same way as the built-in metrics and events.
Figure 30. This script calculates the RRC setup time as the time between RRC Connection Request
and RRC Connection Setup Complete
3.3.2 Reporting
The Report View shows a particular mobile device or data set based on a predefined report template. Simply
right-click on a mobile device or data set, select “Send to Report View,” and TEMS Discovery will generate a
report based on the selected report template from the target data.
You also have the option to define your own report template or to specify what you want to include in a report,
with the help of the very flexible Report Builder.
This eliminates the need to request customized report generation from other tool vendors, or to manipulate data
manually.
The Report Builder:
• Provides drag-and-drop access to all metrics and events – absolutely no SQL, Macro, or VB script
knowledge required.
• Can create very demanding and advanced report templates with complicated device filtering criteria.
• Supports all frequently used statistical parameters.
• Supports per-file and per-sector statistics.
• Supports multidimension statistic reporting.
Figure 31. With the Report Builder you can create your own templates and define how to display your
data
Report types available with Report Builder:

• Single values of metrics with statistical parameters such as count, mean, min, max, linear average,
standard deviations, variance, sum, first, duration, unique count, and more
• Histogram charts with statistical parameters such as “% of total,” “% meeting condition,” count, unique
count, linear average, mean, min, max, sum, first, duration, unique, and more
• Trend charts with periodicity of hour, day, week, and month
• Map Views with options for cell configuration, GIS data, and output area range
• Sector-by-sector statistics
• File-by-file statistics
• Correlation statistics
3.3.3 Highly Automatic Batch Printing
The batch printing feature is an easy way to generate PDF reports including user-defined maps, histograms, or
time chart configurations.
With this useful function you can:
• Select any configuration of metrics for Map View display or for a specific chart type.
• Apply any configuration to any specific mobile device.
• Use an unlimited number of mobile/configuration pairs.
• Send your output to an electronic *.pdf file format, or to a regular printer.
Figure 32. Automatic batch printing
4 TEMS Discovery: Drilling Down to Measurement Data
TEMS Discovery is designed for in-depth study of your measurement data. It gives fast and full access to already
processed data. A generous set of data presentation views helps you visualize the quality and performance of the
network. TEMS Discovery uses a high-performance geographic information system (GIS), supporting
approximately 100 different map formats.
TEMS Discovery uses synchronizable views such as maps, time charts, messages, tables, and point details to
display data collected at the same time (for drive test data playback). There are also data summary views such as
histograms, metric correlation, reports, batch PDF views, and problem summary views to present statistic data in
various formats. The Problem Summary View, for example, provides an easy way to pinpoint problems and drill
down among user-configurable analysis sets, to find the cause. Some usage examples are found in section 4.2,
“Further Examples of How to Use .”
Layer 3 mes s age lis ting
Figure 33. TEMS Discovery user interface
4.1 Contents and Characteristics

All of the data in TEMS Discovery is well organized, and, unlike competing tools where you need to load raw log
data in every new session, TEMS Discovery loads the data once and saves the processed data permanently until
removed.
Several projects may be active at the same time. Each project has its own workspace where all views belonging
to the project are kept together. This coherence makes it very easy to work with several projects without losing
track of what views belong together. View sizes can be freely adjusted.
All views in a project are synchronized. Selecting a new item in one project view automatically highlights the
corresponding item in all other views.
A data set is created by importing one or several raw drive test files. All of the processed data are organized
according to certain attributes, including the original file names, device names, mobile IDs, labels, etc.
Processed data from one or more data sets of a project can be logically combined into composite data sets. A
typical practice is to group the processed data by one attribute, such as mobile IDs or functional labels (long call,
short call, PS call, etc.).
An analysis set is a group of view layouts that includes precise configuration settings describing the specific
names of the metrics to be displayed in a given view. You can send a whole set of metrics defined in an analysis
set from a selected data source with a single click.
4.2 Further Examples of How to Use TEMS Discovery

The illustrations shown in section 4 mainly serve to support the description of the user interface components. This
section provides further examples of data presentations and analysis.
4.2.1 Dropped Call Analysis
Figure 34. In this example, the reason behind a dropped call is analyzed. It appears that the SIR target
cannot be reached because of weak signal power. With the help of Google Maps, the user can conclude
that the call was dropped inside a building.
4.2.2 Analyzing TEMS Pocket Indoor Measurement
TEMS Discovery has a number of features that make the analysis of TEMS Pocket indoor measurements simpler
and more efficient.
TEMS Pocket logfiles including an indoor map can be imported directly into TEMS Discovery and displayed in the
Map View with the indoor map as background. To get a complete picture of indoor and outdoor measurements,
TEMS Discovery provides an easy way of geopositioning the data, as described in section 4.2.2.1.
To make indoor data collection efficient, multiple TEMS Pocket units can be used in parallel. Employing one unit
as the master, the user collects data and sets the pinpoints. The slave TEMS Pocket will only run test scripts and
collect data, so the logfiles from the master device will include measurement data, map image, and pinpoints, and
the logfiles from the slave device will include measurement data only.
When the data is imported into TEMS Discovery, all logfiles will be positioned automatically as the master device
(see section 4.2.2.2).
4.2.2.1 Positioning of Indoor Measurements
Figure 35. Indoor measurements from TEMS Pocket, for example, can be positioned within the building
where the measurements are performed. The TEMS Pocket *.zip file containing the indoor
measurements and the floor plan is imported as a regular drive test data file. When any data is dragged
and dropped into the Map View, the floor plan appears with the selected data samples plotted. To
position these measurements in relation to the actual building, you right-click the floor plan in the
explorer and GIS/coverage map tab and select “Floor Print Rectifier.” Then you simply mark the corners
of the floor plan and the corresponding corners of the building, and the positioning is done. The result is
displayed in the next figure.
Positioning of indoor measurements is done and the result is shown below.
Figure 36. After geo-rectification, the indoor measurement data can be displayed like normal outdoor
drive test data along with other GIS and cell configuration data
4.2.2.2 Import of TEMS Pocket Multidevice Measurements (Master-Slave)
To import master and slave indoor files into TEMS Discovery, select the master and slave logfiles and enable the
“All TEMS Indoor files share the same floor print and way points” option.
Figure 37. Import of indoor master-slave data
By using automatic data processing, TEMS Pocket master-slave logfiles can be imported and positioned
automatically.
4.2.3 Sector-Based Statistics
Statistics can be generated and displayed per sector. Functions include:
• One-click generation of multiple KPIs on a sector-by-sector basis
• Color coding of sector icons with drive test KPIs for instantaneous, graphical visualization of network
performance
• Any combination of two arbitrary KPIs can be presented simultaneously
Figure 38. Statistics easily generated per sector, clearly displaying the selected KPIs
