1. Probe Installation. HSDPA test need Probe version 1.3 or above; HSUPA test need Probe version 1.4 or above. 2. Plug Probe dongle. 3. Connect Hardware device to the laptop. 4. Hardware configuration. 5. System Configuration. Set Log mask. 6. Test Plan Configuration. 7. Import engineering parameters, open Map window and import the related mapinfo file. 8. Open the parameter widows you want to observe, such as RSCP and Ec/Io in Active Set, Monitor Set; HSDPA Serving Cell, throughput; RRC Message, NAS Message, etc. 9. Start Test, start recording. 10. After the test finished, press "Stop Test button. Notes: If you don't use "Test Plan" to start test automatically, please "Start Test first, then start to make call test.

Suggestion: When testing voice call, do not perform PS dialup on the Modem of the outgoing UE manually. Otherwise, voice call maybe hangs up abnormally. The UE that is performing PS services can serve as an incoming UE for Voice Call or Video Phone test. Thus, the CS and PS concurrent test can be performed on the same UE.

Call by Call: call: The call lasts and waits for the predetermined calling duration and call interval, and repeats for the times defined in call count.
1.2 Setup time: the maximum time for call setup. If the call cannot be setup within the defined period, the call setup fails. 1.3 Calling duration: the duration of one call, from call setup to call normal release. (apply only to call by call) 1.4 Call interval: the time between two calls, from the previous call disconnection to the beginning of the next call. 1.5 Exceptional Interval The interval between the exceptional end of a call drop and the beginning of the next call.
1.6 Count Mode: the limitations on the call number -> Finite / Infinite.

NoteIf False is selected in Auto Dialup, the connections on the signaling plane are set up. The signaling includes RRC signaling, PDP context activation request, and PDP context activation receive message. The service plane, however, is not established. In such a situation, the PING service is not being connected. If True is selected, the connections on both signaling and service planes are established. That is, the PC <-> UE <-> CN channel is set up for dialup connection and providing services.

When both Probe and MODEM have APN and QoS information, because AT command in MODEM initial command is send to UE more closely before PS connection setup, it will replace the information send to UE by Probe. That is Probes setting doesnt work if AT command also exists in the MODEM initial command.

Supplement for HSDPA Link Statistic:
1. Delta vs Average
Delta is the average value in 200ms.
Average is the average value from the beginning of stat. to the current time. You can choose to clear the former stat. data. The values displayed by Assistant are all belong to Delta series.
HS-SCCH Success Rate = time slot number scheduled to the UE during stat. time / total time slot number during stat. time
When multi UEs share a HS-SCCH channel, they will share channel resource. So, HS-SCCH Success Rate reflects the time ratio of a UE occupies HSDPA resource. The closer to 100% of total HS-SCCH Success Rate from UEs who share a HS-SCCH channel, the better schedule performance the system has.
Served Rate = Scheduled Rate * HS-SCCH Success Rate Mac Layer Rate = Served Rate * (1- SBLER)

Supplement for HSDPA Link Statistic: 3. IBLER, SBLER vs Res.BLER
IBLER is 1st MAC-hs error block /total 1st MAC-hs transmission blocks. IBLER Target can be configured on NodeB. And its statistic value in Probe is 1st SBLER in HSDPA Decoding Statistic Window. SBLER is MAC-hs error block / total MAC-hs transmission blocks, IBLER target configured on NodeB have an effect on SBLER, now the common value range of SBLER is 10%~15%. Res.BLER means remain BLER, which is within RLC layer. One transmission block only after multi-times unsuccessful MAC-hs retransmission, will be calculated as RLC layer error block, stat. to Res.BLER. Res.BLER is approximate to 0 in normal instance.

The Probe supports customizing and loading project templates. All the project templates are stored in the sub-folder of the Template Project folder. When the Probe is being installed, the following default folders of different categories are generated. You can also set custom project templates and save them in the directory. When multiple tests with a similar function are being performed, you can directly open the corresponding project template but need not carry out repeated project settings.
