Chapter 1. General
1. General
1.1. What’s In This Manual

This book catalogs all data presented in TEMS Investigation as well as all
preconfigured presentation windows supplied in the application.
Some information elements are presentable only with a subset of the
connectable devices. See the tables in chapter 4.
1.2. Conventions
For the sake of brevity the following conventions are used in this book:
• The TEMS Investigation User’s Manual is referred to as “UM”.
• The TEMS Investigation Technical Reference is referred to as “TR”.
Doc. No. 4421-0005 Rev A 1

2. Information Element
Categories
The information elements are divided into categories in the application as

follows:

Doc. No. 4421-0005 Rev A 3

3. Information Elements
The tables below 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 still covered in one single, alphabetically ordered list.
(Certain deviations from strict alphabetical order occur in the application in
order to achieve more logical orderings and groupings.) However, since the
number and diversity of the information elements are great, a special column
with codes is used in some tables to distinguish important subgroups among
the elements.
4
Chapter 3. Information Elements
3.1. GSM Information Elements
3.1.1. General

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
c Valid if a cell file is loaded.
g Valid when running GPRS. Not valid for voice.
g+ 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.
g– Not valid when running (E)GPRS.
ga Valid in GAN mode or for GAN-capable phones.
h Valid if frequency hopping is used.
Doc. No. 4421-0005 Rev A 5

Code Meaning
h+ 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.
h– Not valid if frequency hopping is used.
hs 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.
hs– Not valid when running HSCSD.
p Reported by positioning equipment.
s Reported from GSM RSSI scanning.
6
Code Meaning
si (Reported from interference scanning with a Sony Ericsson

GSM phone.) This function is no longer supported in any
connectable phone, but the information elements are retained in
this description since old logfiles with interference scan data can
still be replayed in the application.
ss 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 104-
multiframe, 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.

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 Carrier HSPA: “Primary Cell” vs. “Secondary

Cell” Information Elements
Certain information elements occurs 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.

“Sc Best” IEs: These elements are derived from pilot scanning and combine
General scrambling codes from all scanned UMTS frequencies, sorted by
remark descending Aggr Ec/Io. The sorting order within the “Best”
elements is not affected by the settings in the General window
(see UM section 13.2.11.1).
Regarding pilot scanning in general, see UM section 13.2.

Sc Best Cell Text 1 ... 512 pi Deduced name of the cell that
Name c uses each scanned scrambling
p 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.
Requires cell file.
Sc Best Cell 1 ... 3 1 ... 512 pi Categorization of the cells that

Type c use the scanned scrambling
p codes.

Aggr Ec.
2: All neighbors of the “1” cell,
as indicated by the cell file.
3: All other cells.
In the “Sc Best” element, this
categorization is applied for

will be one “1” with associated
“2”s for each frequency.

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
17.3.1, “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.

3.9. Data Service Testing Information Elements
3.9.1. 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
element contrast with the throughputs reported in KPI events (see
section 6.4), which are measured over the period defined in each KPI, as
described in the Technical Reference, chapter 9. 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).
3.9.1.1. 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
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. Average throughputs, byte counts, and all percentages apply to the
period following the latest network connect (triggering of Network
Doc. No. 4421-0005 Rev A 193

Connect event) and are reset at network disconnect (when the Network
Disconnect activity has completed).
3.9.1.2. Note on Reworked Information Element Structure

The generic “session” concept in previous TEMS Investigation versions has
been abolished, and along with it the old Data category information elements
prefixed with “Session”. Instead, separate information elements are now
provided for each data service type (FTP, HTTP, etc.), as detailed in
section 3.9.2.

Chapter 4. Information Element Support in Phones and Scanners
4. Information Element Support

in Phones and Scanners
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>.
A gray checkmark means that the IE support is restricted to a subset of the
devices in the column; see the accompanying footnote for details.
The tables include certain devices that are no longer connectable in this
version of TEMS Investigation; these devices are printed in non-boldface.
They are retained here since old logfiles recorded with the devices can still be
replayed in the application. There also exist information elements which are
unique to one or more of these devices.

b. TCC protocol terminals are no longer connectable in TEMS Investigation.
Nevertheless, information elements supported only by TCC protocol
terminals remain in the application and are kept in this table, since old
logfiles recorded with these terminals can still be replayed.
c. Gray checkmark: Supported only by Z750i among these phones. Also note
generally that what AQM elements are obtained depends on what hardware
is used at the other end: Call Generator with analog calling card, Call
Generator with digital calling card, or an MRU. For full details, consult the

d. The residual percentage is not obtained from the Nokia phones.

f. Supported by Nokia 6650 and 6651 but not by Nokia 6630 and 6680.
g. Not supported by Sony Ericsson W760i.
h. 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 5. Notes on Plain-text Decoding of Mode Reports
5. Notes on Plain-text Decoding

of Mode Reports
5.1. TPC Info per Cell (Sony Ericsson)

While in soft handover, the phone is power controlled jointly by all members
of the active set. Power control commands are received on the DPCCH.
Certain Sony Ericsson phones 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 phone to raise the power.
• D = Down: The cell ordered the phone to lower the power.
• C = Skip: The phone 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.
Doc. No. 4421-0005 Rev A 219

6. Predefined Events
Here all predefined events are listed and explained, along with any extra
information provided in the application (see section 7.3.4). 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 27.4.3) and maps (UM section 29.5.4).
6.1. General Events

Under this heading have been collected events that do not result from
interaction with a cellular network.

6.2. GSM/WCDMA/LTE/TD-SCDMA Events

Events in this category are generated by phones supporting at least one of
the technologies GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and TD-SCDMA.
The following is to be noted:
• For TD-SCDMA phones 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 phones.
There are also a number of TD-SCDMA specific events.
The asterisk column uses the following codes:
Code Meaning
c Requires that a cell file has been loaded.
e Generated in EDGE mode.
g Generated in GSM mode.
g w Generated in GSM and WCDMA mode.
ga Generated by GAN-capable phone interacting with a GANC.
lte Generated in LTE mode.
sg Generated during GSM scanning.
sw Generated during WCDMA scanning.
td Generated in TD-SCDMA mode (and unique to that mode).
w Generated in WCDMA mode.

Doc. No. 4421-0005 Rev A 223

Call Attempt g GSM: A traffic channel has been

w requested (through the Layer 3 message
(gray) ga Channel Request). (Note that the request
could also be for a signaling channel, in
which case no call is actually attempted;
the two types of request cannot be
distinguished.)
WCDMA/TD-SCDMA: An RRC
Connection Request has been sent
following initiation of an MO or MT call.
GAN:
• (MO call) GAN Layer 3 message
Request sent with establishment cause

6.4. Data Events
6.4.1. 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 KPIs in TEMS
Discovery and TEMS Automatic; all of these appear in the window Events Of
KPI Type in TEMS Investigation. All KPIs are defined in the Technical
Reference volume, chapter 9, “KPI Definitions”. Individual KPIs in that
chapter are referred to in the table in section 6.4.4.
All data service KPIs are based on the “Data” events; note that no KPIs are
based on the (somewhat similar) “Data” category information elements in
section 3.9.
KPIs for CS voice and video telephony are of course not derived from “Data”
events but rather from information logged during the CS sessions.
Certain events in the Data category do not have anything 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).
6.4.2. Notes on KPIs for Particular Data Services

• MMS Notification and MMS End-to-end KPIs (TR sections 9.2.6.3–9.2.6.4
and 9.2.6.7–9.2.6.8) are based on multiple KPI events; this is not
indicated in the table below.
• No KPI events exist for e-mail 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 6.2 are
unrelated to KPI computation.
6.4.3. 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; measurements
according to Methods A and B may be delivered in two separate instances of
the event, or they may both be given in the same event instance.
