2 New collection device or technology support

2.1 Accuver support

Added support for LTE scanner in XCAL version 3.3.1.33.

2.2 Ascom TEMS support

Added support for Ascom TEMS Pocket version 13.2. Added support for Ascom TEMS Symphony version 7.2. Added support for Ascom TEMS Automatic version 9.2. A problem has been resolved that caused PCTEL UMTS scanner measurements to be missing when message Top N Pilot Scan Response contains BCH data. A problem has been resolved with LT25i handset where Analyzer detected it has a LTE/CDMA capability only. A problem has been resolved that could cause scanner measurements to be missing in Analyzer when Ericsson handsets were used as UMTS scanners to scan multiple UARFCNs and when Load Time Filter preference was enabled. A problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from showing the measurements for all the UARFCNs when PCTEL MX scanner message Top N Pilot Scan Response reported multiple UARFCNs. A problem has been resolved that caused some TEMS events such as TEMSEvent_PDP_Context_Deactivation to be missing.

2.3 DataPro support

Added support for a new version of Rohde and Schwarz TSMW LTE scanner message Rohde'nSchwarz TSMW Scanner LTE Measurement Record. Added support for a new version of JDSU LTE scanner message Receiver Pilot Reference Signal Measurement Record. Added support for PCTEL MX LTE scanner.

2.4 Ding Li support

A problem has been resolved with GPS interpolation affecting Ding Li Indoor log files.

2.5 Focus Infocom support

A problem has been resolved with the HSDPA message HS_DECODE_STATUS, that could cause Analyzer to crash.

2.6 JDSU support

Analyzer now sets attributes at the CW scanner message Channel Power List.

2.7 Nemo support

In LTE, the following MIMO attributes are now set: LTE_UE_RSSI_Ant LTE_UE_RSRP_Ant LTE_UE_RSRQ_Ant

A problem has been resolved that caused Data Testing Attributes to be missing in EVDO log files.

2.8 PCTEL support

Added support for SeeHawk 2.5.

2.9 Qualcomm support

A problem has been resolved that could cause Analyzer to crash when a SIP message spanned over two Qualcomm messages. A problem has been resolved that caused some LTE-Advanced attributes to be set at the wrong message when the Load Time Filter preference was enabled. Created two new LTE-Advanced attributes to improve the detection of LTE Carrier Aggregation functionality: LTE_UE_Carrier_Num_DL LTE_UE_CA_Configured

A licensing issue has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from setting LTE attributes for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SnapDragon 800) log files unless LTE-Advanced was licensed.

2.10 Rohde and Schwarz support

Added support for DC-HSDPA.

Actix Analyzer Update

December 2013

A problem has been resolved with Samsung M320 and Novatel U760 that prevented Analyzer from detecting that these devices were operating in CDMA/EVDO mode. Improvements have been made to the handling of corrupted HS_DECODE_STATUS messages that could cause Analyzer to crash when loading log files.

2.11 Swissqual support

A problem has been resolved that could cause files to fail to load when the configuration call failed to connect. (In Swissqual, the configuration call is the first voice call made in a log file in order to synchronize the A and B sides.)

2.12 IP support

In VoLTE, the attribute IP_Dir is now set from the SIP INVITE message for mobile terminating calls. The IP_Dir attribute indicates the direction (uplink or downlink) of an IP packet.

2.13 Generic

A problem has been resolved with decoding the LTE EMM information elements Full name for network and Short name for network.
