Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Investigation

Reports can be generated in RouteDiary based on your entered notes, also

including a summary of TEMS Investigation activities similar to that found in
the Navigator pane.

2.4.3. eMBMS
Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) is a standard designed to
provide efficient delivery of broadcast and multicast services. When
offered over LTE, it is referred to as eMBMS. Target applications include
mobile TV and radio broadcasting as well as file delivery and emergency
alerts.
TEMS Investigation 16.3 introduced a number of information elements and
events reporting on eMBMS, including:
• Activation and deactivation of eMBMS bearer
• Presence of Multicast Control Channel, MCCH
• Performance metrics for Physical Multicast Channel, PMCH: decoding
success rate, received transport blocks

2.4.4. New Mode Reports for Carrier Aggregation

Mode reports are obtained from Qualcomm chipset LTE devices when
secondary serving cells are activated and deactivated in an LTE network
with carrier aggregation. The mode reports extract these vital facts from logs
which generate huge volumes of data and are therefore unattractive to
decode.
Further mode reports are obtained:
• whenever a Layer 3 message with a secondary cell configuration
arrives;
• whenever a secondary cell is automatically deactivated because it has
received no data traffic within a predetermined time.

2.4.5. LTE MIMO Scanning with PCTel SeeGull IBflex

LTE MIMO scanning with multiple Rx antennas, already available with the
PCTel SeeGull MX scanner, became supported also with the newer IBflex
model.
