SQI(SPEECH QUALITY INDEX)

 SQI reflect the quality of the speech, it estimate the speech quality in the cellular
network as perceived by human listener .
 SQI more sophisticated than RX QUALITY.
 Rx Quality and its limitation.
RX quality is obtained by transforming the bit error rate (BER) into a scale from 0 to
7.
Receiving quality level BER
It simply reflect the average BER 0 < 0.2%
1 0.2 ~ 0.4%
over a certain Period of time(0.5 s)
2 0.4 ~ 0.8%
3 0.8 ~ 1.6%
4 1.6 ~ 3.2%
5 3.2 ~ 6.4%
6 6.4 ~ 12.8%
7 > 12.8%

Confidential Information of Huawei.
No Spreading without Permission. Security Level: Internal
RX Quality And SQI

 Distribution of BER over time: For a given BER, if the BER fluctuates very
much, the perceived quality is lower than if the BER remains rather
constant most of the time.
a high BER variance gives a better RxQual than a low variance does. This is
completely misleading from a speech quality point of view.) .
 Frame erasures. When entire speech frames are lost, this affects the
perceived quality in a very negative way.
 Handovers. Handovers always cause some frames to be lost, which
generally gives rise to audible disturbances. This does not show at all in
RxQual, however, since during handovers BER measurements are
suppressed.
 The choice of speech codec: quality is different for different speech codec .

Design of SQI

 SQI prediction of speech quality is independent of channel


condition and other circumstances. the computation of SQI
involves.
 The bit error rate (BER).
 The frame erasure rate (FER).
 Data on handover events.
 Different algorithm for different codec.
 stolen frames (i.e. speech frames that have been replaced by
signaling ).
 Statistic on the distribution of each of these parameter.

SQI VS RX QUALITY

 For a given RxQual, the actual quality indicated by SQI will vary
depending on the channel conditions and the speech codec used.
Conversely, for a given actual quality level, a wide range of
RxQual values are possible.
 SQI as a function of RxQual for the EFR codec .

SQI

 SQI is available for GSM FR (full rate), GSM EFR (enhanced full
rate), GSM HR (half rate), AMR (adaptive multi rate), AMT FR,
AMR HR.
 TEMS products, the SQI shows the quality on the downlink channel.
 TEMS is updating the SQI every 480 millisecond (i.e once every
SACCH multi frame ).
 Frequency hopping will improve the radio conditions, thus
decreasing the bit error rate and the frame erasure rate. This is
built into the SQI algorithm.

Range Of SQI

 TEMS gives three kinds of display legend by default for SQI.


-20<=SQI<0: RED BAD
0<= SQI<18:YELLOW GOOD
18<=SQI<=30GREEN VERY GOOD.
Range of SQI?
GSM EFR: -20 <-> 30
GSM FR: -20 <-> 21

CHANNEL VERIFICATION

 The GSM Channel Verification tool allows you to check the


availability of a set of GSM traffic channels, typically those used in
one cell or a set of cells. TEMS Investigation lets one or several Sony
Ericsson GSM phones make calls repeatedly on the chosen channels
until all timeslots of interest have been tested.
 To perform GSM channel verification, open the GSM Channel
Verification window from the Control menu or the Control folder
in the Navigator.

CHANNEL VERIFICATION

 To add a test case.


 We can add multiple test cases
without exiting the dialog,
by entering the settings for one
test case at a time and clicking
Apply after each. The result in
the GSM Channel Verification
window will look like this:

Manual and Automatic Verification

 Automatic verification: For each timeslot, TEMS Investigation


decides whether the timeslot can be accepted or not. In order for a
timeslot to pass, the call must be set up correctly and maintained
for a user-specified period of time, and in addition a set of user-
specified quality requirements must be satisfied.
 Manual verification: For each timeslot, user decide himself
whether to accept or reject the result of the test, by clicking either
of two buttons. How to take this decision is up to the user. By
making call and deciding him slef.

Interference problem

 The carrier-over-interference ratio is the ratio between the signal


strength of the current serving cell and the signal strength of
undesired (interfering) signal components .
 The measurement range extends from –5 dB to +35 dB. A C/I
below –5 dB can be regarded as highly unlikely .
 C/I>9 is acceptable .
 C/I<9 is considered to be a bad one.

Analyze Using MapInfo

 To analyze drive test data using MapInfo, you will need an input
data and this input data is the TEMS exported log files.
 We can use MapInfo to analyze RX_LEV and RX_QUAL as we shall
see in the following sections.
 File name Select file name where saved
 Files of type Select “MapInfo (*.tab)”
 Preferred View Change from “Automatic” to
“Current Mapper”
