Configuring Cellsite Data
This feature shows serving and active cells for different technologies by configuring the cellsite database in the device. During the recording, if any cell matches with primary and secondary key defined in the cellsite database, then the cell name is updated in the portrait mode and a line is drawn from current location to a serving cell or one of the active cells in
Outdoor/Indoor map. The sector arc will be highlighted to indicate it as a serving sector.
To configure cellsite database, go to Settings > Cellsite Data, enable the technology you want to activate and select the cellsite database XML file from the device storage. Ensure that you have put the cellsite database XML file in FTA > Cellsite Database folder on the device. You can create a cellsite database XML file using the Cellsite Importer utility in the
E6474A application or you can create your own cellsite database XML file in the following format as shown below.
Note: You must ensure that you use the same cellsite database for recording and replay.
During the data collection, the application searches the cellsite database using a primary and a secondary identifier to determine the serving sector.
The application uses the primary identifier to search for a cellsite and if there is only a single match then no further search will be performed. If there is more than one match, the application will use the secondary identifier to resolve the cellsite.
If multiple entries are found for the primary and secondary identifier, the cellsite that is located at a distance less than or equal to the range defined will be selected.

Sectors are displayed in a pie chart, with the point at the sector geolocation.
When a serving cell changes, a line is drawn on the map from the current waypoint to the serving cell site (if available in the cellsites database) to show which cells are currently serving the phone.
RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide
Using the RANAdvisor TrueSite Application

After configuring the XML file, you can define the Cellsite Range Unit as Km or miles and specify the maximum valid distance range when looking for the serving cell. The application looks for only those cells which fall within the range and if there is more than one cell with the same primary and secondary key, then the first cell which is closest to the current location is reported.
The cellsite database may have thousands of cellsites, which may not be needed at all times. As the cellsites are geographically apart, the application will load cellsites within the 5 kms range from the user location. You can define Maximum Sectors Displayed Per
Technology which allows only a small number of sectors to be loaded. The default value is
2000. Max: 5000 and Min: 100.

Threshold Customization
This feature allows you to define new thresholds for the RF parameters on the bar charts.When you tap on any bar chart, it will change to the line chart mode and display the current value of the parameter.
RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide 41
2
Using the RANAdvisor TrueSite Application
Using the FTA_Full_Thresholds.xml file or the Bar Charts Theme feature, you may choose to change the thresholds for all or a subset of parameters or use the default values.
The inverted color can be applied using the Theme and not by editing the
FTA_Full_Thresholds.xml file. The Threshold 1 and Threshold 2 values are used to apply the color scheme for a parameter.
FTA_Full_Thresholds.xml can be found on the device storage in the /FTA/Thresholds folder.
A copy is also provided in the Installation folder for each release after downloading on your
PC. This file can be modified and copied to the phone to modify the settings.
NOTE: This is not editable on the phone directly.
You can change the parameter thresholds in the xml file using MS Excel. Open the file in MS
Excel, choose to open 'As an XML table' and allow Excel to create a Schema based on the source if prompted. You need to change only TH1 and TH2, not MIN and MAX. If MIN and
MAX, are changed it will not have any effect because the default MIN and MAX will be loaded.
For indicators such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) where a high value is better than a low value, TH1 is the threshold at which the bar changes from Red to Yellow.
TH2 is the threshold at which the bar changes from Yellow to Green.
Inverse indications (where a low value is better than a high value), e.g. BLER, the colors are reversed within the application, so TH1 is where Green changes to Yellow and TH2 is where
Yellow Changes to Red.
When the RANAdvisor TrueSite application is started, it will load the parameters -TH1 and
TH2 from the FTA_Full_Thresholds.xml file.
To perform threshold customization using Themes, select the Theme icon from the Add item screen. You can create, edit, and delete themes. When a theme is applied, it will change the display of parameters.

Working with the Test Sequencer
The Test Sequencer is a powerful, graphical editor that enables you to create and run test sequences that simulate the mobile user exercising various applications on the device. You can create simple serial sequences of tests, create parallel tests to be run at the same time, or even create parallel threads of series sequences. If you want to execute the test in series, add the tests in the first column. If you want the tests to run concurrently, add the tests in a single row. The drag and drop editor makes it easy to move tests around within the
sequence (see “Working with the Drag and Drop Editor" on page 50).
When you start a sequencer test, the application runs the tests based on the configured test settings. You can easily distinguish the status of the tests (running, completed, ready to run) based on the color of the test tile as shown in

Monitor CELL ID
Table 4: Test Sequencer Additional Settings
Description
Identifies and monitors the Cell ID for FTP Put, FTP Get,
PING, VOICE, UVOICE, CSFB tests on the Status History screen at the beginning and end of a test cycle. The CELL
ID is logged at the start of the test.
The Cell ID may not be displayed if the device is already camped to a base station when the recording is started. It is displayed only when the device camps to the next base station. To display a Cell ID at all times, add the
RFTOGGLE test at the beginning of the Test Sequencer to force a reconnection with the base station.
• If the Cell ID is the same at the start and end of a test, a PASS status is shown on the Status History screen; otherwise a
FAIL status is shown along with the CELL ID. The results are logged in the AHD and CSV files generated during recording.
• If no CELL ID is available at the start and/or end of a cycle, the message CELLID(0,0):Not Available; Result‐Cannot
Compare is shown.
• If no CELL ID is available at the start of a cycle and but available at the end of a cycle, the message
CELLID(0,0):122345; Result‐Cannot Compare is shown.
See the Notes at the end of this table for additional Cell ID messages.
Notes:
• For the CSFB test, the application will display the Cell ID at the start of the test in the LTE network. When it switches to other available networks when the voice call is started, the
Cell ID will not be displayed. You will see the message “:Not available; Result – network transition”.
• If you run the FTP test first followed by the voice test on a LTE network and there is a change in the Cell ID, you will see the message “:Not available; Result – network transition”.
• For the CDMA network, at the start of a cycle, the message: CELLID(0,0):Not Available will be shown since the application does not handle CDMA Cell ID.

Auto Send
Test
This test uploads the AHD files from a phone to the configured HTTPS or FTP server. When the Test Sequencer encounters an AutoSend test, it uploads the recorded data from the start or from the point when the last AutoSend test was encountered. The recording will continue thereafter. The fragmented AHD files are created separately from main AHD file.
For example, if there are five auto send tests configured in the test sequence, then six fragmented files will be created. The last fragmented file will contain summary information of all the tests. The last fragmented file and the complete AHD file will be uploaded upon completion of the whole recording.
The fragmented files are uploaded in the following directory:
• On the FTP Server: <configured directory>/<IMSI>/Timestamp_<Recording Start
TimeStamp>/<ADH file name>_<Fragment ID>.AHD
• On the HTTPS server: <root>/<ADH file name>_< Fragment ID >.AHD
•
On the device: /<Save Location>/ToBeUploaded/>/<AHD file name>_<Fragment
ID>.AHD
The first test in the Test Sequencer cannot be Auto Send test. The Auto Send test can be added only in series, not in parallel. You cannot add two consecutive Auto Send test.

The Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) test is used to validate that while on an LTE data session, an attempt to make a Voice call will 'Fall Back' to 3G to make the Voice call.
The test starts with an HTTP transfer to initiate a data session. If the session is successful and the sessions are over LTE, then a Voice call is initiated. The test passes only if the data transfer works and it is over LTE and the Voice call works. The setup time of the CSFB call is measured during this test. CSFB inter cycle delay default time is set to 45 seconds. This is the minimum time required to ensure the phone moves back to LTE.
You must extend this time if there are subsequent test failures due to no LTE data transfer.
You cannot add a CSFB test in the parallel sequence. This test is applicable only for the LTE devices.

• Timeout - After sending an Email, if no Email is received in response within a specified time out period.
This test is available only for CDMA/EVDO devices.
EVDOCH checks the current EVDO channel and compares it with the desired channel. If they are the same, the test exits with a PASS. If not, the phone’s radio is turned off and back on to cause the phone to re-attach to the EVDO network, and the channel is again compared with the desired channel. The hashing algorithm has a random chance to allocate any of the available EVDO channels each time the network is accessed. This process is repeated until they match or the maximum number of tries have been carried out.
Test Settings
• Desired Channel - Enter the channel number to test.This value is displayed at the bottom right of the test in the Test Sequencer screen.
• Times to try - Enter the number of times to search the desired channel number. This value is displayed at the top right of the test in the Test Sequencer screen.

The Forcing test allows you to lock a commercial Qualcomm Chipset device to a desired band or technology. Starting with TrueSite 1.43, the Forcing test is supported in both the
PRO and LITE versions of the software.
The test is supported on the following Viavi Samsung phones: Samsung Galaxy S4
GT-I9506, SM-G900P, Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545, Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919,
Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A, Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F, Samsung Galaxy S5
SM-G900P, Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900I, Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V, LG G2
VS980, Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900W8, Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900R7, Samsung
Galaxy S5 SM-G9006V.
Note:
• If the technology or the band on which it is locked is not available, the device will go out of service and remain in that condition until the specified technology or band is available, after which a normal service will be re-established on the specified device.
The forcing action ensures that the device can support the combination of Band and RAT defined in the test settings. Where there is a mismatch, the common forcing shall be applied. For example, if both the LTE B7 and B28 bands are required and the device supports only the B7 band, then the B7 band shall be forced.
Test Settings

Table 6: Frequency selection parameters
Parameter Description
Frequency Channel Number The E-ARFCN number. Only valid E-ARFCN numbers within the specified band are allowed.
Timeout Timeout in seconds. If the phone remains in an out of service state longer than the specified timeout after the test is triggered, the test is marked as failed; otherwise, it is marked as passed.
NOTES:
When a Frequency Selection test is run, it internally triggers a reset to the radio chipset in order to put the configuration into effect without power cycling the device.
The reset causes the phone to lose cellular connectivity and remain in an out of service state for several seconds before the phone re-acquires cellular connectivity.
During this brief period of lost connectivity the RF parameter screen appears empty or stops updating. Updates resume when cellular service is reconnected.
After the test is successfully executed, the phone tries to camp on the specified
E-ARFCN. If the E-ARFCN is available at that moment, the phone will connect to LTE service on that channel. If the E-ARFCN is unavailable, the phone will use any available E-UTRA channel at that location to connect to LTE service.
The Clear Forcing option not only clears any E-ARFCN selection previously set on the device, it also clears any Band and RAT forcing that was configured earlier in the test sequence.
Test Results
• Forcing Applied Successfully - After applying the forcing setting, it may take some time for the forcing to come into effect. The test waits for a period of 20 seconds after applying the settings. During this time period, the test may start using the new settings or it may still be in the waiting phase. You should ensure manually that the forcing settings are applied successfully.
• Forcing Applied Failed - The selected bands are not supported on the device.
• Forcing Partially Applied - Some of the selected bands are not supported on the device.
• Forcing Cleared Success - The existing technology/band forcing settings are successfully cleared from the phone. It does not clear the frequency and the channel forcing settings on the device.
• Forcing Cleared Failed - The existing technology/band forcing settings could not be cleared from the phone.

The iPERF test is a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance. iPERF can create TCP and UDP data streams and measure the throughput of the network that is carrying them. iPERF allows tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. iPERF reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss. iPERF test has both client and server components and can measure the throughput between the client and server, either unidirectional or bidirectionally. When used for testing UDP capacity, iPERF allows setting of the datagram size and provides results for the datagram throughput and the packet loss.
When used for testing TCP capacity, iPERF measures the throughput of the payload.
In a typical iPERF test, there is a server iPERF and a client iPERF. The server iPERF must be started before the client iPERF, else the test will fail.
Note: The iPERF test is not supported on non-rooted devices.
Follow the below steps to configure iPERF server:
1
Download the iPERF precompiled binary file from the link: http://iperf.fr/
2
Open the command prompt and go to the directory where the binary is located.
3
For configuring the server in TCP mode, execute following command:
a
To run on default port 5001, type iperf -s
b
To run on specific port, type iperf -s -p port_number
4
For configuring the Server in UDP mode, execute the following command:
a
To run on default port 5001, type iperf -s -u
b
To run on specific port, type iperf -s -u -p port_number

The packet data protocol context is a data structure present on both the serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) which contains the subscriber's session information when the subscriber has an active session. When a mobile wants to use GPRS, it must first attach and then activate a PDP context. This allocates a
PDP context data structure in the SGSN that the subscriber is currently visiting and the
GGSN serving the subscriber's access point. The PDPACT test is used to activate/deactivate PDP context after a period of time, depending on the mode of the test.

Trace Route
Test
This test runs a trace route on a data connection. This diagnostic utility determines the route taken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets with varying Time-To-Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each router along the path is required to decrement the TTL on a packet by at least 1 before forwarding it, so the TTL is effectively a hop count.
When the TTL on a packet reaches zero, the router is supposed to send back an ICMP Time
Exceeded message to the source system. Trace route determines the route by sending the first echo packet with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission until the target responds or the maximum TTL is reached.
The route is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent back by intermediate routers. Notice that some routers silently drop packets with expired time-to-live
(TTLs) and will be invisible to trace route.
The default time out for a trace route action is 1000 milliseconds.
Test Settings

Note: Before executing the test, the devices must be rooted and configured to a cellular network.
For some of the devices, the test supports both the circuit switched call
(GSM/UMTS/CDMA) and the packet switched call (VoLTE) for analyzing the call states, as well as the voice quality of the call on the devices that have a POLQA license. The test reports whether the call is VoLTE, CS, or CSFB on the status history screen of the application. The test must run on two devices simultaneously, one in the caller mode and other in the answerer mode. Both the caller and the answerer settings should be same before executing this test. Before making a call to the answering device, add the Wait test with a delay of at least 5 seconds in the Test Sequencer. POLQA measurements will be performed on devices which has a POLQA license and if both devices have POLQA license then the measurement will be displayed on both devices.
RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide 75

Using the RANAdvisor TrueSite Application
Note: When making a VoLTE call, the MT device will fail to answer a call immediately after a reboot. Wait at least 3 seconds following a reboot to answer a call.
When a call is set up, first the answerer plays back the audio sample, the caller records it and calculates the MOS score. Then the caller plays back the audio sample and the answerer records it and calculates the MOS score. This switching would continue for the entire call duration. After the call duration, the call is disconnected and the call status
(success, blocked, dropped, failure) is displayed.
The test can be added in series and in parallel.

The Universal SMS (USMS) test is an enhancement to the previous release
. The test works on the Viavi supported devices with the Android version 4.2 or above. Refer to the
“Supported Device Platform" on page 199 for the list of supported devices.
The USMS test runs on two different devices simultaneously. One device will be set to the sender mode (MO), the receiver number must be configured on this device. The second device will be set to the receiver mode (MT), the sender number must be configured on this
simultaneously on two different devices and the status history will display messages based on the test mode.
The test is considered pass at the sender’s end if it is able to send a SMS successfully within the Max Transfer Timeout/wait time. The result will be displayed at the Status
History. At the receiver’s end, if the Content Match option is selected, the test passes if the expected and the received contents are same. If the Content Match option is not selected, the test passes if the receiver device receives a SMS within the specified wait time.
Notes:
• If a previous release Test Sequencer that has the SMS test is migrated to 1.39, the
USMS test will be enabled automatically on the devices with the Android version 4.2 or above.
• If a Test Sequencer that has the USMS test is migrated to a previous release, then the
USMS test will function as the SMS test.
• The USMS test should run simultaneously on both the sender and receiver devices.
• Set the Test Mode property to Send To Itself, if there is only device (acting as the MO and MT) running the USMS test.
• If you are running the USMS test on the MO device with other tests, then the MT device should have only the USMS test running.
• In TrueSite 1.40.1, the test was simplified to allow an SMS to be sent from any SMS capable device and detected in receiver (MT) mode.
After both devices complete their cycle, they will have to wait for the remaining max
transfer timeout/wait time + inter cycle delay seconds before starting the next cycle, to maintain the synchronization.

• Skype
This test requires a TrueSite Applications Test Floating License, which is offered in 1, 3, 6, and 12 month durations. For information on floating licenses, see
“License Management" on page 172.
See the RANAdvisor TrueSite AppTest Quick Start Guide for installation and setup instructions.
NOTES:
• The APPTEST cannot run in parallel with any other test.
• You will need a user account for each of the apps that you plan to test.
• The Applications test is not supported on non-rooted devices.
• In order for automated text entry to work properly, use a third party keyboard such as
SwiftKey instead of the native Samsung keyboard.
• Some third party apps, including Instagram and Facebook, place limits on the amount of data or number of connections or requests allowed in a given time period (for example,
API calls per hour). The Applications Test may fail if these limits are exceeded after repeated iterations of the test. Limits vary from app to app and are subject to change by the app's developers.

2
From the application Home screen, go to Settings > General and select Automation
Control Mode.
3
From the Automation Control Options, select Local Bluetooth Control. You will receive a prompt to select master or slave.
4
Select slave.
After configuring the devices as slave, perform the following steps to associate slave device to master device.
1

Generic Controller Support
The Generic Controller allows a cut down version of TrueSite to run on a standard Android tablet to allow TrueSite devices to be controlled over Bluetooth centrally from the tablet.
This allows test sequences to be started and stopped at the same time and where indoor navigation is used, the tablet is used a s single navigation device, sending the current position to all connected devices.
During collection, any Map Overlay parameters configured on the individual devices are sent to the tablet for display to allow tracking of the current test and specified RF and Test parameters.

Note: You must name each device with a unique name to identify the device.
Both the master and slave devices should be charged sufficiently (around more than
15%) since Bluetooth may not work on low charge. Check the Bluetooth pair screen for name of paired devices. The master name should be present on the slave device and the slave name should be present on the master device. If any slave device name is not present in the master device, you need to pair them again. After configuring the master and slave devices, when you start recording on the master device, the message will be communicated to all the slave devices to start recording. When you stop recording, a message will be communicated to all slave devices to stop recording. When you navigate using an Indoor map on the master device by using I am here positions or a Waypoint
file, those locations will be communicated to the slave devices to synchronize position logging. The navigation locations will be seen both during recording and when you play back on the slave device.
Configuring the Indoor Map

How to Start and Stop Recording
When you start recording on the master tablet, the recording will also start on each slave device that has a phone configuration applied to it. If any existing recording is running on a slave device, it will be stopped and the new recording will start.
When an outdoor job is started from the Controller, the Controller will send the GPS location to the connected slaves in a job and it will be marked on the slave device map. The following
GPS information will be logged in the AHD file: longitude, latitude, speed, bearing, satellite visible and satellite tracked number.
During the recording, data is stored in an AHD format on the respective slave devices. If you are using a Samsung Galaxy Tab (SGH i497) as the master, the recorded data will be stored on the master tablet and on the respective slave devices.
Note: The slave device AHD file will not be stored on the master device.
In TrueSite 1.40 and later you have the option of automatically transferring data files from the slave devices to the master at the end of the job. To learn how to configure this option, see
“Configuring Data Transfer at the End of a Job" on page 139.

Synchronizing Sequencer Tests with Benchmarking Mode
TrueSite’s benchmarking mode of operation facilitates comparative testing (benchmarking) between different networks and devices to analyze performance indicators like quality of voice, data speeds, quality, coverage and capacity.
When you have multiple devices running the same test sequence, benchmarking mode keeps the slave devices in lockstep as they progress through the tests in the sequence by ensuring that the tests start on all devices at the same time. The next test in the sequence will not start until all devices have completed the previous test and are ready to start the next.
RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide 119
3
Using the RANAdvisor TrueSite Matrix Controller
When the first device completes a test it sends a “test complete” message to the Controller, which starts a user-configured synchronization timer. The Controller monitors each device for a test complete message or timer expiration. It then issues a Resume command to all devices to begin the next test in the sequence. This continues until all devices have stopped at the end of their sequence, or in the case of a looped sequence, until the user chooses to select Stop from the Controller.
Notifications are sent to the tablet Controller and to the slave devices in the event of a timeout.
• On the Controller, a toast message highlights any device did not complete testing before the synchronization timer expired.
• On the slave device, a toast message indicates that the Controller did not send a Resume command before the synchronization timer expired.
Operational notes:
• Benchmarking mode is supported on generic tablet controllers and TrueSite Matrix controllers.
• Benchmarking mode requires a minimum of 2 slave devices.
• Bluetooth remote control must be enabled on the Controller and slave devices.
• All slaves devices must run identical test sequences.
• Only serial tests are supported in benchmarking mode.
• When benchmarking mode is enabled on the Controller, all slaves devices operate in benchmarking mode.
• The test sequencer is disabled on measuring tablets when benchmarking mode is enabled.

Detecting a Macro Ingress
Macro ingress occurs when outdoor, macro-network signals are received at too high a level compared to the DAS network within a building or venue. TrueSite compares the antenna specifications defined in the iBwave or cell site database file in real time with the measured values during capture and automatically reports any differences. For example, if an internal
LTE antenna should be transmitting on PCI 21, and TrueSite detects that it is transmitting on
PCI 35, it will issue an alert, so you can take remedial action before continuing. You must have a TrueSite Indoor Fault Detection Tools [E5643B-121] license to enable this feature.
When you start the recording, you will see the following details in the MACRO tab:
• Technology: LTE or UMTS
• Categories: Displays different categories from 1 to 5
• Channel: EARFCN or UARFCN based on the Technology
• Code: PCI or SC
• Level: Actual difference measured
Following are the list of Ingress events in the Events tab:
• MACRO_INGRESS_DETECTED: At least one non-serving cell information (for example, technology, channel, cell code) is not found in the indoor cells.
•
MACRO_INGRESS_DISAPPEARED: The previous ingress disappears, i.e. all the reported information are found in the indoor cells.
• MACRO_INGRESS_POWER_LEVEL_CHANGED: indicates a change in the power level difference between the serving cell and the ingressed cell.
Perform the following steps to detect a macro ingress:
1
Configure the settings to detect Macro Ingress. See “Configuring Macro Ingress and
Handover detection” on page 138 for details.
2
Start the recording. See “How to Start and Stop Recording” on page 87 for details.
After you start the recording, you will see a marker on the map that indicates your starting point. Click the Tap to Mark Waypoint button to mark your current location.
When you mark a waypoint inside a detection zone, you must wait for at least 8 seconds before marking the next waypoint. As you move to a new location, if there is an ingress, you will see the related details in the MACRO tab and the EVENTS tab. Click Show

“Detecting a Macro Ingress" on page 124 to detect handover.
Detecting a Sector or Antenna Fault
This feature enables you to monitor various sectors of the antennas. This helps in detecting the status of an antenna for that particular sector. The antennas can be in a good shape, excellent shape, missing state, or sector fault state. You must have a TrueSite Indoor Fault
Detection Tools [E5643B-121] license to enable this feature.
There can be multiple status event for a particular sector of antenna based on the location.
You must get into the detection range of an antenna to start the measurement for that antenna. You should mark more waypoints in a sector and stay longer in a sector to get sufficient data.
The application uses an algorithm to detect the antenna status based on pattern matching between the computed power loss (based on the ITU-R standard) and the reported absolute power from the device. It uses Rank Correlation (-1 to +1) to define the pattern match along with the Received Power from the antenna to establish the status of each antenna. It also uses power received (dBm) from the antenna to establish the status of each antenna.
A Detection Threshold and Minimum Threshold values are used for each technology.
• For WCDMA, the Detection Threshold is -81dBm and the Minimum Threshold is -90dBm.
• For LTE, the Detection Threshold is -99dBm and the Minimum Threshold is -110dBm.
In the case of a sector fault, a flag will be displayed on the map and the details of the condition will also be shown in the list available on the EVENTS tab. The following list of events may be displayed on the EVENTS tab.

•
MISSING_ANTENNA - If the device cannot detect any power signal from an antenna, the application defines it as a missing antenna indicated by a red flag marker.
• SECTOR_FAULT - This event is triggered when either of the following conditions occur:
•
The Rank Correlation value is less than 0.3 and the average Received Power is less than the Detection Threshold value.
•
When any three values of the Received Power are less than the Minimum Threshold value.
• GOOD_SHAPE - This event is triggered when either of the following conditions occur:
•
Rank Correlation is between 0.3 and 0.8
•
Rank Correlation is less than 0.3 but the average Received Power from the device is greater than the Detection Threshold.
• EXCELLENT_WITH_ESTIMATED_ANTENNA_POWER - This event is triggered when both of the following conditions occur:
•
Rank Correlation is greater than 0.8
•
The Received Power is greater than the Minimum Threshold
The application shows the following antenna status:
• Grey - indicates there is no status report of any sectors of an antenna.
• Yellow - indicates one or more sectors of an antenna are reported in a good shape, but not all of them has been reported. The status of the remaining sectors remain unknown. There is no report of faulty or missing antenna.
• Red - At least one of the sectors of an antenna is reported missing or faulty.
• Green - All the sectors of an antenna are reported as good or excellent shape.
When the application receives an event about the change in the serving cell, a line will be drawn from the last waypoint to the current serving cell antenna. This line will be drawn when the application receives a cell status report such as good or excellent or faulty. If the application receives a missing antenna event or no status report, then no line will be drawn.
Perform the following steps to view a sector fault on a map:
1
Select a floor plan. See
“Selecting a Floor Plan" on page 116 for details.
2
Start the Recording. See “How to Start and Stop Recording” on page 117.
3
After you start the recording, you will see a marker on the map that indicates your starting point. Click the Tap to Mark Waypoint button to mark your current location.
Between the two waypoints in a sector, you must stay for at least eight seconds. In other words, you must not move quickly.
If there is an antenna in the proximity, the application will start monitoring the antenna
(sectors) and show its coverage area.
As you walk in the coverage area, following cases are possible if you mark way points in the area under monitor:
RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide 127

Using the RANAdvisor TrueSite Matrix Controller
•
If the number of cell reports are not sufficient, the application will display a message stating insufficient data to determine the sector status.
•
If there is a sector fault, you will see it in the EVENTS tab. On the map, the antenna color will change to red for faulty antennas and green for normal.
4
If you mark waypoints outside the coverage area, then the application will stop monitoring the antenna.
5
If you end the recording, the application will stop monitoring all sectors.
Detecting Zone Overshooting
Zone Overshooting occurs when received signals in a DAS sector (or zone) originate from other neighboring zones, and these adjacent-zone signals are within the predefined limits of the primary service signal where the user is located. Any signal detected in a given sector that originated in a different zone is a potential over-shooter.
The TrueSite zone overshooting feature is implemented for LTE and UMTS. Zone overshooting analysis is limited to sectors that originate in the same building. To use this feature you must have a TrueSite Indoor Fault Detection Tools [E5643B-121] license.
You will need an iBwave file of the floor plan. Ensure that the zones are defined properly in the iBwave file, and that the file includes network information such as frequency and PCI. In addition to zone definitions, the iBwave file should include floor plan images, antenna sector and channel information, and geo-coded zone boundaries. The ZoneID in the .ibwc file associates each antenna with the sector number defined during the design. The ZoneID is provided in the .mid file and .mif file contains the coordinates information.
128 RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide
Using the RANAdvisor TrueSite Matrix Controller

Each polygon on the map represents a sector that will serve multiple frequencies in different access technologies. Zones are geocoded and used as the sector boundaries.
The zone overshooting tool relies on user-marked waypoints to determine the walk zone.
Therefore it is important to mark a waypoint upon entering a new zone boundary.
Zone overshooting events are generated in real time during the walk. Events are flagged on the map at the location the overshooting is detected, and are displayed on the EVENTS tab.
The detected events are:
• INTER_ZONE_HANDOVER_APPEARED: This event is generated when the UE is handed over to a cell that is not part of the zone in which UE is located.
• INTER_ZONE_HANDOVER_DISAPPEARED: This event is generated when the UE is handed back to a cell that is part of the zone in which UE is located.
• WALKED_ZONE_CHANGED: This event is generated when the user-marked location lies in a different zone than the previous location’s zone. This event is generated even if the newly marked location has no zone information defined whereas the previous location had zone information associated with it.
To view zone overshooting information on the map:
1
Select a floor plan. See
“Selecting a Floor Plan" on page 116.
2
(Optional) Configure the zone overshooting categories. See “Configuring Zone
Overshooting Categories" on page 139.
3
Start the Recording. See “How to Start and Stop Recording" on page 117.
4
As you perform the walk, you can see overshooting events and charts in real time by tapping the Refresh button on the Zone Overshooting tab. Select a device in the left panel to view the collected data for that device.

After you stop recording you can view a summary of the overshooting activity, as described below.
Once the job is complete, a summary of the zone overshooting activity in the walked zones for each slave device is displayed on the Controller.
Click the Show Summary button in the MACRO tab to view the zone overshooting activity displayed in pie chart and bar chart formats. These charts will help you identify poorly designed elements on the floor.
130
The serving pie chart shows the percent of time during the walk the device was served by each zone. This chart is specific to a device, walked zone, technology, and channel.
RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide
Using the RANAdvisor TrueSite Matrix Controller

The Category bar chart shows the contributions to overshooting by category level. For each category, the chart shows the amount of time each zone overshoots within specific power levels. The total walk duration represents the time spent by the user exclusively in this zone.
The total category duration represents the time an overshooter from this category was present.
When viewing the charts, be aware of the following:
• Replay of the zone overshooting analysis may vary slightly from the original recording.
During replay, the zone overshooting calculations are repeated. Because the results depend on the timestamp of when a sample is sent to the controller from the slave device, even a slight variation in the timestamp can lead to a difference in the final calculation.
• In an LTE network, RSRP measurements are used to determine cell power whereas in an
UMTS network, RSCP measurements are used for the same.
• The current walked zone data is marked with a red boundary. Whenever you tap the Zone
Overshooting tab or the <device> tab, the display will auto scroll to the data for the current walked zone.
Performing an iBwave Survey
This feature allows you to import floor plans automatically from the third-party iBwave Mobile
Planner application to RANAdvisor TrueSite when both applications are running concurrently in the same tablet device. Using the floor plan, TrueSite collects wireless signal strength and throughput measurements. These measurements are then sent in return automatically to the iBwave Mobile Planner application for further analysis after the data survey is completed.
Prerequisites:

Preparing the IBflex Receiver for Indoor Scans
To perform indoor scans on CDMA or EVDO bands, the IBflex receiver needs to operate in
Holdover mode. During outdoor use, when a GPS signal is present, CDMA and EVDO technologies use the GPS data for timing information to decode the signals. When using the
IBflex receiver indoors in the absence of any GPS signal, the receiver will continue to accurately decode the pilots and cell IDs for a period of four hours in Holdover mode. To get the best performance of the Holdover option during indoor measurements, PCTEL recommends that the GPS be locked for at least 30 minutes before using the IBflex receiver in an unlocked / holdover mode (with power maintained).

About StrataSync
StrataSync is a cloud-based service that provides asset management, configuration management, license management, and test data management.
Asset and Configuration Management
Asset and Configuration management lets the StrataSync administrator automatically manage and update all devices over the air in a timely and consistent manner, minimizing manual updates and mistakes. It also allows new configurations, sequencer files, and more to be downloaded to any device. Automatic updates and downloads eliminate the need for technicians to manually update their devices, saving time and money. Ensuring all devices have the same configurations loaded makes comparing results between devices easier and delivers more consistent results during testing.
StrataSync Asset Management enables over-the-air (OTA) uploading and downloading of:
• Device Settings
• Test Sequences
• Indoor Maps
• iBwave IBWC files
• Waypoint Navigation sets
• Display Parameter Customizations
• Map Themes
• Bar Chart Themes
• Display Thresholds
• Custom Charts
• Cellsite Database
• Market Configuration
• Map Display Settings
• Map Layers
• APKs (Applications)
• iPerf files
• Fixed Licenses
• License Configuration files
• Application Test scripts
RANAdvisor TrueSite User’s Guide 171

Using the StrataSync Service
Test Data Management
StrataSync also enables you to upload and securely store AHD, DLF or CSV files in the cloud.
Result files can be uploaded while a technician is still in the building enabling colleagues for remote post-processing and analysis of the data while the technician gathers data on a different floor or in another area of the building. This remote analysis will help minimize the need to revisit a building as the post-processing engineer can tell the technician on site to perform a retest or to conduct any additional tests before moving to a different building. With
StrataSync, the remote engineer can even load a specific sequence onto the technician’s device for the additional test.
License Management
This feature allows the StrataSync administrators to deploy floating licenses from the server to devices. Multiple floating licenses can be deployed on a single device and a single floating license can be deployed on multiple devices (only one device at a time).
Licenses can be deployed from the StrataSync server for up to 180 days. On the day of expiry, licenses expire at the same time of day they were checked out, rounded up to the next hour.
The StrataSync Administrator can revoke the license before the expiration date.Tampering with the system date and time will invalidate the license.
Floating licenses are offered for some features in durations of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, as well
as perpetual licenses. See “Licensing of the application" on page 197 for a list of available
license options and part numbers.

StrataSync Synchronization
To use the StrataSync services with the device you must first turn on StrataSync synchronization. When StrataSync is ON, you will see two options for synchronizing the device with the StrataSync server.
• The SYNC NOW button in the upper right corner forces a manual sync with the StrataSync server.
• The auto sync function automatically synchronizes the device with the StrataSync server at specified intervals (1-12 hours). This setting determines the sync interval during the current
TrueSite session, following the initial synchronization at startup. The auto-sync clock resets when you exit the application.
Advanced Settings
When you enable the sync with the StrataSync server, the application will display Advanced
Settings. Under Advanced Settings, there are four options: Configurations; Data; Auto
Upload Data Files; and Account ID, Server and Proxy settings.

Converting to AOD format
Each release of the RANAdvisor TrueSite software is downloadable from the Viavi FTP site and comes with a windows application that can be used to manually convert the AHD files to AOD.
These AOD files are in the same format as logged by the E6474A application and can be post processed using any application that supports the Viavi AOD format. This converter application is located in the AHD Converter for TrueSite1.xx
Automated Handling of AHD files
The stand-alone windows converter can be controlled via command line controls to automate the conversion from AHD to AOD. Documentation on this is included in the distribution package. The
Drive Exporter may also be controlled via command line controls to convert from AOD to CSV format. Using the combination of these two tools allows automated conversion as part of a server workflow to manage data at the server prior to processing.

Licensing of the application
TrueSite’s flexible licensing scheme lets you choose the licensing options that are right for you. Fixed and floating licenses are available for many features. If you bought a phone and application from Viavi, the application will already be installed and licensed on the phone.
NOTE
Using the installed and licensed application constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions of usage. Refer to
“Terms and Conditions of Usage" on page 213
for more information.
With the purchase, you should have received a document that confirms the IMEI number of the phone and your license number. Keep this document in a safe place as you will need this license number if you need to re-install the application.
For fixed licenses, the license number is linked to the IMEI number of the phone, so the application can only be installed and enabled on that specific phone.
Fixed Licenses
The following fixed licenses are available for TrueSite software features.

Updating the Installed Application using the StrataSync Server
The cloud-enabled StrataSync service lets you manage and update all your TrueSite devices from a central location. Automatic updates and downloads eliminate the need for technicians to manually update devices using a PC.
TrueSite 1.36 and later supports software updates through StrataSync.
Notes:
• TrueSite 1.40 and later installs the following third party applications on the device:
Facebook, Skype, Ookla, Twitter, and WhatsApp. If you plan to test these applications with the Applications Test (APPTEST), review the RANAdvisor TrueSite AppTest Test Quick
Start Guide before installing the TrueSite 1.40 software on your device.
• When you are downgrading TrueSite from a higher version to a lower version, first make a backup copy of the FTA folder by renaming it, uninstall the TrueSite related apks (Strata
Sync Service apk, FTA Installer apk, RANAdvisor TrueSite apk, Forcing apk, POLQA apk,
IMS apk, TCPDump Piper Manager apk, TrueSite Controller apk, TrueSite Installer apk,
TrueSiteLogLevelModifier apk) and then install the desired version.
• If you have a release version prior to 1.38, for example, 1.37.2, then in order to upgrade to
1.38 or above versions, first download the TrueSite installer 2.0 apk from the StrataSync server and install the apk. After the installation, upgrade to the desired version.
Perform the following steps to upgrade or downgrade the TrueSite application using the
StrataSync service.
1
Register the device with StrataSync. See
