TEMS Investigation 17.

2 – Welcome

• Voice and video were distinguished as separate media types in the


Blocked Call, Dropped Call, and Call End events, enabling the calculation
of video-specific KPIs. Voice and video calls are likewise distinguished in
the KPI report (described in section 2.2.4.1), so that video-specific
versions are obtained of metrics such as call setup time.
• With PDCP throughput broken down by QCI, a separate throughput
figure is obtained for conversational video (among other services). See
section 2.2.2.4.
• Some preliminary steps were also taken towards quality measurement
for ViLTE. Data is already obtained on lost, discarded, and corrected
packets as well as on packet delay variation. Video and audio MOS
scores (computed by the VQmon algorithm) will follow in a later release
as soon as video call inject has been implemented in a similar manner as
for voice AQM.

2.2.3.2. Twitter Testing


The rollout of social media testing capabilities continued in TEMS
Investigation 17.1 with the Twitter service. Testable operations are: loading
the home timeline or that of another user, posting tweets (optionally with a
photo), and searching tweets for specified contents.
Testing Twitter like a user gives you a comprehensive view of service
performance, especially by correlating RF measurements with actual end-
user operation success rates.

2.2.4. Presentation

2.2.4.1. KPI Report


The KPI report was a new reporting tool in TEMS Investigation 17.1.
Processing logfiles continuously as soon as they have been recorded, the
tool presents familiar KPIs for voice and data services in a Microsoft Excel
workbook. A fundamental and pervasive feature of the KPI report is that it
compares operators in terms of each computed metric.
In the report are also listed all logfiles that contributed to the KPI statistics.
You can open a contributing logfile in TEMS Investigation to drill down into
the drive test data.
The KPI reporting function gives you real-time access to KPI statistics in
the field, enabling you to assess results instantly, before they are uploaded
and processed into official KPI reports.
