elements are collected in section 3.12.

NT15-48408 ver 1.0

I&E-3

TEMS Investigation 17.1 Information Elements and Events

Information Elements

The tables in this chapter list all information elements that can be presented
by TEMS Investigation. For ease of reference, each category on the Info
Element tab of the Navigator is covered in a single, alphabetically ordered
list. (Certain minor deviations from strict alphabetical order occur in the
application, and in this document, in order to achieve more logical orderings
and groupings.)
A special column with codes is used in some tables to distinguish subgroups
among the elements. In other tables, this is achieved by interspersed text
panels with a yellow background color.

I&E-4

Chapter 3. Information Elements

3.1.

GSM Information Elements

3.1.1.

General

3.1.1.1.

Properties of Information Elements: The Asterisk

Column

In the column marked *, a set of codes is used to state conditions under

which an information element is

valid: a non-trivial condition must be fulfilled for the element to be valid

not valid: the element is normally valid, but in certain circumstances it is

not (code ends in )

extended compared to the simplest GSM case: the element sometimes

carries more information, for example when frequency hopping is used
(code ends in +)

If nothing is written in the asterisk column, the element is always valid

(provided it is supported by the device).
Code

Meaning

Valid if a cell file is loaded.

Valid when running GPRS. Not valid for voice.

The element is richer for (E)GPRS, in one of the following ways:

more values, i.e. more arguments e.g. C/I Best

values have a more complex meaning e.g. C/I Hopping

List (average over timeslots)

larger range of possible values e.g. Channel Type.

Not valid when running (E)GPRS.

Valid in GAN mode or for GAN-capable devices.

Valid if frequency hopping is used.

NT15-48408 ver 1.0

I&E-5

TEMS Investigation 17.1 Information Elements and Events

Code
h+

Meaning
The element is richer if frequency hopping is used.
If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in
the hopping list.

No GPRS connection: One value for each channel

(arguments 0 through 63)

GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on each channel

(arguments 0 through 64 8 1 = 511). Exception: C/I
Hopping List has only one value for each channel
(arguments 0 through 63).

If frequency hopping is not used, the element contains values

for the single channel employed.

No GPRS connection: One single value (argument 0).

GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on the channel

(arguments 0 through 7).

Example: C/I Best.

hc+

If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in

the hopping list. One value for each channel (arguments 0
through 63).
No separate values for each timeslot for a GPRS connection.
Example: C/I Hopping List.

Not valid if frequency hopping is used.

Valid when running HSCSD. Not valid for voice.

hs+

The element is richer for HSCSD, in one of the following ways:

more values, i.e. more arguments e.g. C/I Best

values have a more complex meaning e.g. C/I Hopping

List (average over timeslots)

larger range of possible values e.g. Channel Type.

Not valid when running HSCSD.

Reported by positioning equipment.

Reported from GSM RSSI scanning.

I&E-6

Chapter 3. Information Elements

Code

Meaning

(Reported from interference scanning with a Sony Ericsson

GSM phone.) This function is no longer supported in any
connectable device, but the information elements are retained in
this description since old logfiles with interference scan data can
still be loaded in the application.

Reported from GSM spectrum scanning.

3.1.1.2.

Full and Sub Values

Information elements with Full in their names are calculated on all blocks.
Information elements with Sub in their names are calculated only on the
blocks known to be sent also when downlink DTX is active (in each 104multiframe, one TCH block with SID information and one SACCH block).

3.1.1.3.

GSM RxLev Units

GSM RxLev units are defined in 3GPP 45.008, section 8.1.4.

A number of elements have been left out of the table. These are
the Neighbor ... Band and SS ... elements, which are mere
variants of the ordinary Neighbor elements and are used in the
status window Serving + Neighbors By Band (see section 12.1.1).
What differs is the sorting order: first by band and then, within
each band, by signal strength.
Argument: In elements with the (Sorted) suffix, argument 1
points to the neighbor with the highest signal strength. In
elements without the (Sorted) suffix, argument 1 points to the
neighbor with the lowest ARFCN.

Notes on Quantities Denoting Signal Power

Below is a list of the signal power and power ratio quantities that appear in
the names of information elements.

Eb: Eb, scrambling code energy per bit.

Ec: Ec, scrambling code energy per chip.

Es: Es, scrambling code energy per symbol (as measured by a scanning
device during the SCH timeslot scan).

No: N0, total energy per chip (as measured by a UE).

Io: I0, total energy per chip (as measured by a scanning device).

NT15-48408 ver 1.0

TEMS Investigation 17.1 Information Elements and Events

Ec/No: Ec/N0, signal-to-noise ratio (as measured by a UE). Compare No

above. 3GPP 25.215, section 5.1.5

Ec/Io: Ec/I0, signal-to-noise ratio (as measured by a scanning device).

Compare Io above.

SIR: Signal-to-interference ratio as measured on the DPCCH. 3GPP

25.215, section 5.2.2

RSCP: Received signal code power, identical with Ec: 3GPP 25.215,
section 5.1.5.

RSSI: Received signal strength indicator, identical with No: 3GPP

25.215, section 5.1.5.

Eb and Ec are related by the equation

that is,

3.2.1.3.

MIMO: Multiple-antenna vs. Single-antenna

Information Elements

Certain information elements occur in variants with each of the suffixes per
Antenna (with argument), Antenna 1, Antenna 2, Sum. Such IEs are
populated for MIMO, and the suffixes refer to the use of multiple antennas in
the MIMO technology. The corresponding IEs without a suffix are populated in
the single-antenna case.

3.2.1.4.

Dual/Multiple Carrier HSPA

Certain information elements occur in pairs with each of the suffixes Primary
Cell and Secondary Cell. These concepts apply to dual-cell (= dual-carrier)
HSPA. In the single-carrier case, only the Primary Cell elements are
populated.
Certain information elements occur with the suffixes Per Carrier and Total.
The former then holds a separate value for each carrier (identified by
argument) in multicarrier HSPA, whereas the latter holds a sum taken over all
carriers and has no argument. For single-carrier HSPA, secondary carrier
data is absent, and Total is equal to the primary carrier value.

These IEs are populated when MIMO is in use on the downlink.

Non-MIMO IEs which have a counterpart among MIMO IEs (such
as the CQI elements) are not updated while MIMO is being used.
However, certain other HS elements of a general nature are
updated also during MIMO activity.
The argument, where present, has the following significance:

Arg. = 1 means MIMO Type A with one transport block.

The maximum value of the CQI

Sc Best Cell
Name
Freqs 112

Description
Deduced name of the cell that
uses each scanned scrambling
code.
The algorithm determining the
cell name takes as input the SC
number, the UARFCN, and the
position reported. It searches
the cell file for cells with
matching SC number and
UARFCN within a 50 km radius.
If multiple matches are found,
the cell closest to the position is
selected.
If no positioning data is
available, the information
element will still be presented,
but the cell names may then of
course be wrong. The algorithm
in this case simply picks the first
cell in the cell file with matching
SC number and UARFCN.

In the Sc Best element, this
categorization is applied for

Description

All elements prefixed with Cell (without a following List) pertain

to cell reselection measurements of one type or another (intrafrequency, inter-frequency, or inter-RAT).
The arguments of all IEs associated with the same type of cell
reselection are coordinated; for example, arg = 1 always refers (at
a given moment in time) to the same E-UTRA frequency for all IEs
related to inter-frequency cell reselection.
In the specifications, see especially 3GPP 36.331, section
6.1.3 (RRC information elements System information blocks)
and 3GPP 36.304, section 5.2.4.7 (Cell reselection
parameters in system information broadcasts).

3.6.1.1.

Notes on CINR

The number of samples on which to base the CINR mean values and
standard deviations is set in the WiMAX scan setup dialog (UM section
24.3.1, Number of Samples for Stats). However, this figure only serves as a
guideline to the scanner; in practice the scanner may on some occasions use
a lower number of samples as input to the statistics calculation. This number
is reported in the Samples Taken elements (see below).
Note that as power level fluctuations become minute, the standard deviation
likewise approaches zero and hence tends towards negative infinity when
expressed in dB. A large negative number has been used as the lower
endpoint for the standard deviation range.

Data Service Testing Information Elements

3.8.1.

General

This section lists the information elements in the Data category, i.e. those
obtained when performing data service testing. The Data category contains
the following kinds of elements:

Application-level data service measurements: These reflect the

performance experienced directly by the user of the service, as opposed
to the performance at lower levels in the protocol hierarchy (RLC, LLC,
RLP, etc.). The latter is indicated mostly by information elements in other
categories such as GSM and WCDMA. Compare, however, the remaining
bullets below.

Transport layer measurements: UDP elements.

Link layer measurements.

Throughput elements in the Data category are either instantaneous or

averages taken over the entire duration of the network connection. These
elements contrast with the throughputs reported in KPI events (see
section 10.4), which are measured over the period defined in each KPI, as
described in the Technical Reference, chapter 11. All KPI data is furnished
by these events; no KPIs are based on the information elements in the
Data category.
The Data category information elements are independent of the bearer
service used (packet-switched or circuit-switched).

3.8.2.

Updating of Data Service Testing IEs

The following applies:

1 General application throughput elements (those beginning with
Application Layer Throughput) are updated once every second.
2 Instantaneous throughput elements for individual services apply to the
latest reporting period, unless otherwise indicated.
3 Transfer times indicate elapsed time for a currently active data transfer
(e.g. an FTP download). They are incremented every second and are
reset after the data transfer has concluded.
4 Unless otherwise indicated, average throughputs, byte counts, and all
percentages apply to the period following the latest network connect

The set of IEs obtained differs depending on the testing configuration. See

Player session related IEs are updated once when the SWF player has finished
loading. If several sessions take place, these IEs are averaged over all sessions.
Streaming session metrics are updated for each new set of intermediate scores that
is output from VQmon, provided that the video buffering proceeds successfully. (If
the player is unable to buffer any video, VQmon will not produce any results.)
All HTTP streaming IEs are reset at the start of a new streaming session.

Media Quality Information Elements

3.9.1.

General

This category holds information elements related to quality measurement for

various media:

Audio quality measurement for voice calls PESQ/POLQA with ancillary

data such as volume measurements. Metrics that are not produced in
connection with AQM, such as SQI, do not appear here.

RTP stream metrics obtained during video telephony calls.

3.9.2.

Notes on AQM

3.9.2.1.

Content of Uplink Elements

It is useful to recapitulate the meaning of the uplink elements:

In the ACU R2 setup, the uplink elements are populated in the mobile-tofixed configuration, where they are calculated by the CallGenerator. In the
other configurations, the uplink elements are not populated; but the uplink
measurements are identical to the downlink measurements for the other
phone in the pair.

In the ACU TerraTec setup, the uplink elements are populated with copies
of the downlink measurements for the other phone in the pair.

In the AQM module based setup, uplink measurements are those

performed by the CallGenerator. If an MRU is used instead, no uplink
measurements are made, and the uplink information elements are not
populated.

In the VoIP setups and in on-device measurement regardless of bearer

(except VoIP using ODM MTSI), uplink measurements do not exist, and
the uplink information elements are not populated.

3.9.2.2.

Time Adjustment of AQM Data in Replay Mode

In drive testing mode, the presentation of AQM data is inevitably somewhat

delayed because of the non-trivial time taken to compute the scores.
However, when replaying logfiles, AQM data is time-adjusted (moved
backwards in time) so that it aligns with other presented data. This makes it

NT15-48408 ver 1.0

I&E-263

TEMS Investigation 17.1 Information Elements and Events

easier to study how various factors for example, block error rate, frame
error rate, jitter, and handovers affect the AQM scores.

Information Element Support

in Devices

This chapter details which devices support which information elements, for all
cellular technologies where this is non-trivial.
Elements derived from positioning equipment are not included in the tables.
In the Information Elements column, <string>* means all IEs beginning with
<string>. The asterisk (*) sometimes appears as a wildcard also in other
positions.
A gray checkmark means that the IE support is restricted to a subset of the
devices in the column, or that only part of the IE data is obtained for these
devices. See the accompanying footnote for details.
The tables include certain devices/chipsets that are no longer connectable in
this version of TEMS Investigation; these are printed in non-boldface. They
are retained here since old logfiles recorded with the devices in question can
still be loaded in the application. There also exist information elements which
are unique to one or more of these devices.

11. Note that in practice, VTQI naturally also requires that the
device be equipped with a front camera. There exist
connectable devices, such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia
arc S, which support the VTQI information element but do
not have a front camera.
12. Note on Nokia phones: VTQI is based on transport
channel BLER. Nokia phones do not report BLER for
individual transport channels but only an average over all
channels (see Trsp Ch BLER, DL (Log)). This means
that VTQI scores based on Nokia reports will not be
accurate if further transport channels are used in parallel
with the one used for the video call.

Chapter 4. Information Element Support in Devices

4.6.

Data Service Testing Information Elements

See section 3.8.

The data service testing information elements are mostly generic with respect
to device usage.
However, for VoIP, the data obtained is dependent on the VoIP solution
employed. For details, see chapter 5.
For certain data services, too, the set of obtainable information elements
depends on the testing setup. See chapter 6.

4.7.

Media Quality Information Elements

See section 3.9.

For circuit-switched, Media Quality information elements are populated by
AQM-capable devices; these are listed in the Device Configuration Guide,
section 2.4. In the course of VoIP testing, Media Quality information elements
can be populated by any device used for that purpose (that is, almost any
device that can be used for data transfer).
The precise set of Media Quality elements that is obtained depends on the
AQM testing configuration and, in some of these configurations, on what
hardware is used at the other end. For full details, see chapter 7.
One further limitation is that during CS voice testing, PESQ is not computed
for the AMR-WB speech codec. This limitation does not apply to VoIP.

What Data category information elements (section 3.8) are obtained for
VoIP depends on the type of device and VoIP client used, as detailed below.
The IP capture column represents the various IP data capture mechanisms
used by TEMS Investigation connectable devices:

ODM IP capture (Android devices)

Qualcomm IMS reporting (Qualcomm IMS client)

Qualcomm DPL log message reporting (non-Qualcomm IMS logging).

With (most of) the VoIP clients found in the remaining columns, additional IEs

In the ACU R2 column, CG means that the information element is obtained

only in the mobile-to-fixed configuration, where calls are made to a
CallGenerator.
In the VoIP, ODM MTSI column, R2 means that the information element is
obtained only if the devices are connected to the PC via an ACU R2 box.
The TEMS Automatic (TA) columns are to be interpreted as follows:

TA, CallGen., analog: TEMS Automatic, RTUs (Remote Test Units)

engaging CallGenerator with analog calling card

Chapter 8. Notes on Data Service Testing IEs

Notes on Data Service Testing

IEs

8.1.

Application Layer Throughput

At high throughput rates, the application layer throughput as presented in

TEMS Investigation is more spiky and unstable than the throughput in lower
protocol layers. For FTP, this phenomenon is most probably caused by the
buffering in the third-party FTP client used by TEMS Investigation. By
contrast, CPU load or buffering capacity are unlikely causes of the application
throughput fluctuations.

8.2.

Network Bandwidth (Iperf)

The waveform in Network Bandwidth (Iperf) line charts will be jagged and not
smooth, due to the low resolution of the Iperf process.

8.3.

Streaming over HTTP

The Streaming Player and Streaming Playout Buffer information elements

may not be populated in certain configurations:

When the DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) protocol is

used in conjunction with the ActionScript 3.x player.

When the HTML5 player is used.

Another limitation is that the ActionScript 2.x player only supports HTTPS (not
HTTP) URLs.

TEMS Investigation 17.1 Information Elements and Events

Notes on Plain-text Decoding

of Mode Reports

9.1.

TPC Info per Cell (Sony Ericsson)

While in WCDMA soft handover, the UE is power controlled jointly by all

members of the active set. Power control commands are received on the
DPCCH.
Certain Sony Ericsson UEs deliver two mode reports that are relevant in this
context, TPC Info and DPCCH DL. TPC Info shows the power control
commands from each cell in the active set separately, whereas the DPCCH
DL report gives the final power control decision obtained by combining and
weighting the input from all active set members.
The plain-text decoding of the TPC Info mode report represents the power
control commands from each cell by a string of letters as follows:

Q = Not valid: The cell was not part of the active set at this time.

U = Up: The cell ordered the UE to raise the power.

D = Down: The cell ordered the UE to lower the power.

C = Skip: The UE was in compressed mode at this time, measuring on a

different UARFCN or on GSM.

N = No change: No power control command, power unchanged.

Since the power control frequency is 1500 Hz, each letter in the string
represents 1/1500 of a second.

Chapter 10. Predefined Events

Predefined Events

Here all predefined events are listed and explained, along with any extra
information provided in the application (see section 12.9). All cause values
are decoded into plain-text format in the presentation. Not all of the extra
information listed in the table is necessarily included every time the event
occurs.
The descriptions of how events are triggered are not always exhaustive. In
exceptional cases, an event may be triggered by a message not mentioned
here.
Event symbols shown are default symbols; they can be changed in line charts
(UM section 34.4.3) and maps (UM section 36.2.4).
Events are mostly device-independent and are generated for all devices
supporting the relevant radio access technology or technologies. Exceptions
are noted in the tables.

GSM/WCDMA/LTE/TD-SCDMA Events

Events in this category are generated by devices supporting at least one of

the technologies GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and TD-SCDMA.
The following is to be noted:

For TD-SCDMA devices a subset of the listed events can be generated

(in both TD-SCDMA and GSM mode). The extra information given in the
table is rarely provided with events originating from TD-SCDMA devices.
There are also a number of TD-SCDMA specific events.

Call events also encompass VoIP calls. For convenience, this is covered in
the present section rather than in section 10.4, Data Service Testing Events.
The asterisk column uses the following codes:

It is assumed that the strongest cell with

decoded BSIC is the serving cell. Among
other cells with decoded BSIC, the six
strongest ones are looked up in the
strongest cells neighbor list (which is
extracted from System Information
messages). For each cell that is not in the
neighbor list, an instance of this event is
generated.
The event is only generated once for each
combination of assumed serving cell
(ARFCN + BSIC) and missing neighbor
(ARFCN).

Description/Extra Information

This is a WCDMA event based on UE

data. The event does not require a cell file.
Triggered in the following cases:
1 The strongest active set member lies
between 18 dB and 12 dB, and the
strongest detected neighbor is stronger
than 12 dB.
2 The strongest active set member is
stronger than 12 dB, and the
strongest detected neighbor is stronger
than 12 dB.
3 A detected neighbor exists, although
no active set member or monitored
neighbor exists.
The signal strength measure used in the
comparisons is CPICH Ec/N0.
Extra information:

Description/Extra Information
This event is based on WCDMA scan
data. It requires either

that the scan data includes decoded

SIBs, or

that a cell file is loaded and that the

currently strongest cell has a neighbor
list defined in that file.

If both SIB and cell file data are available,

the SIBs are used and the cell file is
ignored.
Triggered in the following cases:
1 A cell not defined as a neighbor of the
strongest cell is more than n dB
stronger than at least one neighbor of
the strongest cell. The margin n dB is
set in the General window under
WCDMA.
2 A cell not defined as a neighbor of the
strongest cell is within n dB of the
strongest cell. (The event is then
triggered regardless of the strength of
defined neighbors.)
3 No cell from the strongest cells
neighbor list is detected, but at least
one cell is detected besides the
strongest cell. (The event is then
triggered regardless of the strength of
that cell.)
The signal power measure used in the
comparisons is Aggr Ec.
Extra information: UARFCN plus the
following (different for each of the three
cases listed above):

Data Service Testing Events

10.4.1.

General

These events are generated in the course of PS data service testing. Many of
them serve as input to the computation of data service KPI statistics in TEMS
Discovery Device; all of these appear in the window Events Of KPI Type in
TEMS Investigation. All KPIs are defined in the Technical Reference volume,
chapter 11, KPI Definitions. Individual KPIs in that chapter are referred to in
the table in section 10.4.4. Further technical detail on KPIs is provided in a
separate document KPI Definitions in TEMS Products, which is included in
the TEMS Investigation documentation package.
All data service KPIs are based on the data service testing events; note that
no KPIs are based on the (somewhat similar) Data category information
elements in section 3.8.
KPIs for CS voice and video telephony are of course not derived from data
service testing events but rather from information logged during the CS

I&E-360

Chapter 10. Predefined Events

sessions. For details, again please refer to the document KPI Definitions in
TEMS Products.
Certain data service testing events have nothing to do with KPIs: chiefly,
those consisting of a service designation plus one of the suffixes Start,
End, or Error. These events signify simply that a data service session has
started, ended, or aborted because of an error (of whatever kind; the cause is
specified in the extra information).
Call events for VoIP are dealt with in section 10.2.

10.4.2.

Notes on KPIs for Particular Data Services

MMS Notification and MMS End-to-end KPIs (TR sections 11.2.6.3

11.2.6.4 and 11.2.6.711.2.6.8) are based on multiple KPI events; this is
not indicated in the table below.

No KPI events exist for email because of the ubiquitous use of encryption
in connection with that service, which makes it impossible to obtain many
of the measurements that would be required for KPI calculation.

No KPI events exist for SMS. The SMS events in section 10.2 are
unrelated to KPI computation.

10.4.3.

Notes on KPI Definitions in ETSI Specification

The ETSI KPI specification ( ETSI TS 102 250-2) describes two slightly
different methods of KPI measurement, called Method A and Method B
respectively.1 TEMS Investigation supports both of these, generating events
with suffix Method A and Method B according to the KPI measurement
method used. Events carrying these suffixes are indicated in the table by the
shorthand A/B.

1. ETSI TS 102 250-2 V1.4.1, section 4.2:

Currently two main views about the best way to reflect the user's
experience are in place: One preferring the payload throughput
philosophy and the other preferring the transaction throughput
philosophy:
Method A [...] defines trigger points which are as independent as possible
from the service used, therefore representing a more generic view
(payload throughput)
Method B [...] defines trigger points on application layer, therefore
representing a more service oriented view (transaction throughput).
