2 LTE 4X4 MIMO SUPPORT

Advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna configurations where both the base
station and the device are equipped with multiple transmit/receive antennas are leading to an
increased need for device testing prior to market launch. MIMO, a key feature in LTE-Advanced,
enables operators and device manufacturers to offer superior data rates without requiring additional
bandwidth or transmit power. 4x4 DL MIMO capable devices require greater antenna
separation/isolation and are therefore used in devices with larger form factors such as phablets,
laptops with inbuilt modems and set-top boxes, as well as in various automotive applications.
Anites capability to test 4x4 DL MIMO follows its earlier success in demonstrating Carrier
Aggregation of two component carriers of 20 MHz each, resulting in Category 6/7 Downlink data
rates of 300 Mbps. [1]

Figure 1. 4x4 MIMO streams.

Complex antenna configurations require advanced testing capability, which is now available also
with the Nemo Outdoor drive test collection tool together with Qualcomm Snapdragon X12 based
UEs. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X12 LTE modem supports download speeds up to 600 Mbps and
peak upload speeds up to 150 Mbps. The modem also supports LTE Advanced carrier aggregation
(3x in the downlink, and 2x in the uplink) and higher order modulation (up to 256-QAM in the
downlink, and 64-QAM in the uplink). When MIMO measurements are enabled for test UE, RSSI,
RSRP, RSRQ and cell frame timing values are logged per antenna ports 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Values are
written to MIMOMEAS event. Support for uplink carrier aggregation will be available with Nemo
Outdoor version 7.9.0.

LTE-A 4x4 MIMO measurement requires license option OD0700-69. Handler Qualcomm LTE-A CA
3CC Cat.12.

3 EVS VOICE CODEC SUPPORT

EVS voice codec also known as Evolved HD voice is the first 3GPP conversational codec offering up
to 20 kHz audio bandwidth, delivering speech quality that matches other audio input such as stored
music, while offering high robustness to avoid jitter and packet losses.

Designed to meet the demands of packet-switched mobile communications networks, the EVS codec
has been developed and standardized under the lead of the 3GPP Codec Working Group, 3GPP TSG
SA WG4.

The new codec includes a multi-rate audio codec, a source controlled variable bit-rate (SC-VBR)
scheme, a voice/sound activity detector (VAD), a comfort noise generation (CNG) system, and an
error concealment (EC) mechanism to neutralize the detrimental effects of transmission errors
resulting in lost packets. The codec also features a channel-aware mode which further improves
frame/packet error resilience. To reduce the impact of variable transmission time, a jitter buffer
management (JBM) is also provided.

For narrowband and wideband audio bandwidths, the EVS codec delivers higher quality, higher
frame/packet error resilience, and higher compression efficiency than previous speech codecs,
leading to improved user experience and system efficiency. Further quality enhancement is
provided through the introduction of super-wideband and fullband audio bandwidths. The EVS codec
also provides enhanced interoperation with the AMR-WB codec over all nine operational bit-rates.
When the EVS codec is supported, the EVS AMR-WB Inter-Operable mode may serve as an
alternative implementation of AMR-WB codec. [2]

With the EVS codec logging and voice quality support users can test and verify HD voice services,
and improve the service. The EVS codecs shown in the table below are logged to measurement file.
Information is logged to VoIP information event and AMR status event. Codec information includes
information about the current UL/ DL EVS codec and channel mode commands (requested
commands) for DL/ UL.

4 NEMO MEDIA ROUTER

Nemo Media Router is the Anite Network Testing proprietary communications interface and
application developed for Android and iOS based smartphones (patent pending). With the Nemo
Media Router (NMR) interface smartphones communicate with PC-based applications, such as Nemo
Outdoor and Nemo Invex. NMR provides the real QoE measurements as all the services are running
on a smartphone. A PC user controls and runs the services on the phone via an NMR interface. The
NMR application on the phone transfers the KPIs related to the data transfer to the PC. NMR is the
solution for current and future technologies supporting high data rates, such as, using multiple LTE
Cat 9 UEs on a single CPU.

Key Benefits

Cost-effective and simplified. Ideal for benchmarking and running simultaneous LTE high-
speed UEs on a single commercial laptop with up to eight handsets

Enhanced data capacity per CPU which means more devices per CPU with higher data rates
compared to running data services on a PC

Only one IP address (host address) for all test UEs with multi-configurations

No limitations for performing application testing with multiple UEs simultaneously on a


single CPU, (e.g. YouTube testing)

Measurement is done from end-user perspective using smartphones QoS settings

No issues with PC CPU load lowering data rates. No need to tweak TCP/IP settings on the PC

Smaller (lighter) and cost-effective hardware and easy installation. In some cases no
permanent installation needed due to much lower overall power consumption

Data transfers can be made using the NMR interface where the protocol service is running on a
smartphone. User can select the appropriate method for performing data transfers via the Nemo
Outdoor device configuration settings. The NMR application must be installed on a smartphone and
have a valid license. If NMR is activated, all supported commands/services are always executed via
NMR. Commands/services that are not supported by NMR are automatically executed on the PC.
The user interface uses the same manual and scripted commands with NMR as with PC.

With voice quality measurements, the smartphone records the received sample audio files and
transfers audio files via the NMR interface to a computer in real time. The computer calculates the
PESQ/POLQA MOS scores and the values are written to the Nemo Outdoor log file. PESQ and POLQA
license is not needed in the test handset. NMR also supports multiple phones connected
simultaneously to one CPU. The maximum number of simultaneous connections with voice quality
and data is eight phones connected to one CPU. The following chapters present the new features of
NMR version 2.52.

Go back to list of new features.

14 LIMITATIONS AND ISSUES WITH


WINDOWS 7 OPERATING SYSTEM

The following limitations with Windows 7 operating system have been noticed and verified by Anite
Finland or informed by the vendors:

ZTE MF820T modem with Windows 7 OS. Device is conflicting with the Sentinel HASP key driver
used with Nemo Outdoor application. After ZTE modem is installed, Sentinel HASP key cannot be
detected by Nemo Outdoor. A workaround is to change the auto tuning settings to normal
immediately after the ZTE modem is installed. Please see Test Devices Known Issues document
for further details on how to change the auto tuning mode.

Devices not supporting Windows 7 operating system:

o PCTEL LX tri-band scanning receiver

Other limitations:

o Debug logging needs administrative privileges if User Account Control Settings (UAC) is
enabled. It is recommended to change the UAC settings to Never notify. This can be
done via User Account Control Settings.

o If UAC is set to always notify it might cause issues with data testing. PS connection can
be established but data transfer cannot be done. It is recommended to change the UAC
settings to Never notify. This can be done via User Account Control Settings.

16 KNOWN ISSUES

Test device related known issues for UEs, scanners, and other devices are listed in a separate
document: (Nemo_Outdoor_7.8.2.18_Test_Device_Technical_Notes_October_2016.pdf).

16.1 General and user interface


Note that if there is a system that measures acceleration in the laptop and which
causes the hard disk to stop when jolted, it should be turned off. Otherwise there
may be breaks in the measurement files. With voice quality testing this can be seen
with missing MOS scores, and with other test devices with gaps in the measurement
results

Figure 5. Lenovo active protection system properties.

Script editor: When using invalid value for timeout, duration, or file size (depends which
protocol is used) parameter, editor changes values without any notification

When there is no PDF reader in PC, opening the help causes error code 31

Occasionally when opening device configuration, UI shows false locks to some devices even if
the lock is not saved to configuration

Server busy. This action cannot completed. error message is shown when opening the
packet grid for packet capturing files (.pcap). Workaround is to press the Retry button several
times to close the message window

Page 39
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

Running Nemo Outdoor setup directly from the USB flash memory will not work. Workaround is
to copy the files to PC prior running the setup

Download stops responding. Applies to Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. When
you try to download a file, the download stops responding and then times out. The problem
occurs when you use a USB modem that has a data transfer speed that is faster than or equal
to 240 kilobits per second (Kbps). The problem occurs because of a limitation in the current
USB modem driver (Usbser.sys). The hotfix download is available from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925681
Please select View and request hot fix downloads and follow the instructions to download
the appropriate file. Files can be found also from the DVD supplied by Anite (Nemo Outdoor
6.0\Setup\Microsoft hot fix). Please note that for each operating system there is a separate file
available:

Windows 7, Windows6.1-KB925681-x86.msu

Windows Vista, Windows6.0-KB925681-x86.msu

It is highly recommended not to use the User Parameters functionality during multi-device
testing as the decoding of L3/ RRC messages will cause a high CPU load. If performance
problems are found, it is recommended to remove all user parameters from the user interface.

If the message Server Busy is displayed on the screen, it is recommended that the
packetmon.exe is killed using the task manager. Packetmon.exe is used by the Microsoft
Network Monitor. Microsoft Network Monitor is needed only with the video streaming quality or
IP packet capturing functionalities. If IP packet capturing or video streaming quality
measurements are not required it is recommended to not install Microsoft Network Monitor.

Line graph zooming with mouse wheel does not work occasionally

16.2 Nemo Analyze


Nemo Analyze initialization fails if Nemo Analyze is already open and user clicks the Analyze
button in the Nemo Outdoor UI to open the files.

Export to Nemo Analyze. When an open workbook or open report is selected, the loaded
measurement file is shown twice in the Analyze Measurements data base, i.e., there are two
number 1 devices in the measurements data base.

16.3 Nemo Media Router

16.3.1 Nemo Media Router for Android


A data cable must be connected to the computer and to the test handset before switching on
power to the handset. In case handset power is turned on before connecting the data cable,
Nemo Media Router does not always detect the data cable and connection to Nemo Outdoor
fails. In such a case, exit the NMR application and it will automatically restart.

Connecting multiple Samsung Galaxy S 7 SM-G9300 (2 or more) devices does not work. NMR
works only with one phone (in network list only one network is connected, others are
unidentified).

Access Point Name (APN) must be defined in test handset. APN used in the script file is ignored
by NMR application.

Page 40
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

Team Viewer version 11 should be used with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Note 5 handsets.

GPS fix source type (Glonass/GPS) cannot be identified when using NMR for GPS data.

Packet capturing, full logging should be used only for troubleshooting purposes as the file size
of the packet capturing file is limited by the memory of the test handset. Error message is
shown in the Nemo Outdoor user interface when memory is full.

Remote TeamViewer UI control and monitoring:

o If the user has already started a PC client connection to the device before NMR is
asked to start accepting connections, it may take over 30s for the connection to
succeed.

o Screen power saver should be disabled, because TeamViewer will not work if the
screen is not visible. Occasionally TeamViewer connection to the handset fails. Try
again.

o Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9197) and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge SM-G935F


(Optus) do not support remote control.

DNS query is not supported.

FTP transfer attempt setting is not supported (FTP resume).

Multi-thread data transfers are not supported with HTTP protocol.

TCP connection establishment time and IP termination times are not available.

HTTP/HTTPS browsing

As redirection is allowed with NMR version 2.40 onwards with certain web pages, the
browser may prompt to use the mobile versions of websites instead of the full versions and
also ask to add local weather information, etc. If the user does not select any option, the
web page is not loaded. Therefore, it is important to pretest the web page using the
internet browser of the phone before measurements, including browsing. An alternative
method is to change the user agent settings via the Android browser. In case the handset is
inside the Nemo Invex HI module, use a Teamviewer remote connection to change the
settings:

o In the address bar, type: about:debug and hit return

o Go to the settings menu and look for the UAString

o Open up UAString and select desktop

o Return to your browser. Browser will be seen as a desktop browser when you visit
sites.

iPERF UDP DL testing cannot be done with test handsets running Nemo Media Router
application. Non-NMR test handsets are required.

Ping testing using delay from reply to request does not work using NMR. Workaround is to use
delay between requests. Repeat until stopped is not supported at the moment and repeat X
times should be used.

WLAN measurements via Nemo Media Router

o WLAN quality is not available

o WLAN measurement is not supported with Nemo Invex HI modules

Page 41
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

PEVQ-S measurements via Nemo Media Router

o Video codec is not available

YouTube measurements via Nemo Media Router

o PER event is not available

o Data stream playback position, data transfer content type, data transfer video
codec and data transfer audio codec and file size are not available

16.3.2 Nemo Media Router for iOS


Access Point Name (APN) must be defined in test handset. APN used in the script file is ignored
by NMR application.

16.4 Nemo Walker II/ Nemo Multi Lite


Nemo Multi Lite

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G/ F/ T handsets must be removed from the holders
before closing the lid. Otherwise closing the lid will damage the handsets. The suitcase has
not been designed for bigger handsets, such as Note 4.

When using max. six Samsung smartphones (e.g. Note 4 handsets), the system cannot
charge all handsets, and therefore the batteries of the test handsets will run out. It is
recommended to start testing with fully loaded batteries. For example with YouTube testing,
measurement duration is limited to ~four hours.

Nemo Walker II

Number of USB devices exceeded error messages might appear with certain laptops when
more than five test UEs are connected to Nemo Walker II USB hubs. Issue is seen especially
with Lenovo Yoga laptops. It is advised to connect max. four UEs per USB hub. With
computers having both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, it is advised to connect the first USB
data cable to USB 2.0 port and the second USB data cable to USB 3.0 port. Disabling USB
3.0 from the BIOS is also an alternative with laptops running Windows 8.x OS. Laptops with
Windows 7 OS, uninstalling the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver via add/
remove program can be done. The recommended laptop with Nemo Walker II with up to
eight test handsets is Lenovo T430S.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G/ F or similar size of handsets cannot be used with the
Nemo Walker II chassis. Chassis has not been designed for big handsets, such as, Note 4.

Go back to list of new features.

16.5 Applications and protocols


Dropbox testing

File size is not written to the DREQ event and because of that, the device status does not
show a progress bar for DL or UL transfers.

With uplink data transfers the UL data throughput goes up and down. This is normal
behavior as the uploaded files are split to 4MB fragments and uploaded to server with
separate upload commands.

Page 42
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

With multi data transfers, e.g. benchmarking Dropbox testing, different local file names
must be used for each test device. In multi-script it means that you can download the same
file with all devices, but you must write it with different names to the local disk.

PEVQ-S streaming analysis (PC-based using Flash player)

Only one active PEVQ-S connection is supported per PC. Only one active PS connection is
allowed while executing PEVQ streaming. When multiple test handsets are connected to the
same PC, a PS connection with only the test handset executing PEVQ-S testing is allowed.

If a test handset has Nemo Media Router application installed, it prevents PEVQ-S testing as
NMR test handsets are always online. In such case, to run multiple PEVQ-S connections
simultaneously, a dedicated PC is required with only one NMR test handset connected to the
PC.

Facebook testing

Facebook limits the number of status updates and image postings

o If you see an error message, it means the Facebook limit has been reached. It is
not a permanent error, so the feed will continue to work, and once the limit is reset
on Facebooks end (daily), new posts will be posted again automatically

o Currently each app is given an allotment of 200 API calls per user in any given 60
minute window. Please note that Facebook can change this limit. Please see more
details from: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/advanced/rate-
limiting

o Custom Facebook test applications offer more flexibilities to test Facebook with
drive test tools as some of the limits seen with normal Facebook apps do not apply,
such as number of allowed postings per hour. Please see the following link for
further information: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps

o To create your own Facebook test application, please login to


https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/register

If Facebook benchmarking is done using a commercial laptop, the same user account
settings must be used with all test devices

VoLTE IR.92 voice/ SMS and IR9.4 calls/ VoWiFi/ ViWiFi

Voice quality testing is not supported with VoWiFi and ViWiFi measurements at the moment

Call type in the call attempt event (CAA) is written as a voice call, not VoLTE or WLAN IMS
voice call when a call is generated via Nemo Outdoor user interface. This is because the call
type is unknown at the time of the call attempt. Call type in the call connection event (CAC)
should be observed.

SIP UL/ DL messages are missing occasionally.

With networks using encryption, it is required to perform radio off/ radio on for the VoLTE/
VoWifi/ ViWifi and wait ~40 seconds. During this time, SIP server registering is shown in
the user interface even if the UE is already registered. After this, measurements can
proceed normally.

With IMS SMS testing it is not recommended to use more than 160 characters.

Page 43
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

During recording, the user cannot enable WLAN measurements. WLAN measurement needs
to be enabled before starting measurement. In this case, the user needs to enable WLAN
from the device UI manually.

When enabling WLAN measurement from Nemo Outdoor, a notification Turning on Wi-Fi
will turn off USB Tethering. Continue? is shown in device UI. WLAN will not be activated
before user responds to the dialog. This dialog will not affect the functionality, the
connection between NMR and Nemo Outdoor stays active.

If the device is in Airplane Mode and WLAN is activated, device handler starting may fail

SIP server registration type is not updated until the next SIPREGA/SIPREGC events are
written. Information is also not updated with WLAN IMS voice -> LTE IMS voice and LTE
IMS voice -> WLAN IMS voice events

If WLAN is disconnected/disabled, WLAN IMS SIP server registered status stays visible in
Nemo Outdoor UI

PVI video quality streaming

YouTube no longer supports the URL m.youtube.com and therefore PVI video quality
streaming testing cannot be done with the RTSP protocol

Video streaming MOS and jitter values are occasionally reported with value zero

PVI video quality parameters are not available with 64 bit operating systems. PVI streaming
without video quality parameters is supported with both 32 and 64 bit operating systems

VLC media player:

Retrieving proper error messages (streaming cause codes) is missing. VLC player version
2.1.0 required with Nemo Outdoor version 7.3.0.6 or higher

USSD testing:

USSD testing is not supported with Huawei UEs

FTP UL data transfers:

Occasionally FTP UL data throughput values can exceed the maximum value supported by
the network. This is seen at the beginning of data transfers. The root cause is that the
operating system can buffer the data.

VoIP testing:

Other PS data connections are not allowed at the same time with the same computer. Issue
has been reported to the vendor.

Only one VoIP connection per CPU can be done at the moment. Issue reported to the
vendor.

WAP testing. The WAP protocol stack used in Nemo Outdoor supports the following
contents:

Content Type

WMLC, WML 1.1/1.2/1.2.1 text and binary, WMLScript 1.1/1.2/1.2.1 text and binary

Character Sets, WML Char-sets, US ASCII, UTF-8, UCS-2

Page 44
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

ISO8859-1 (Latin), ISO8859-2 to 10 (other European), ISO8859-13 to 15 (other


European), SHIFT JIS (Japanese), WSP 1.0 (5 July 2001), WTP 0.0 (10-Jul-2001), WTLS
(06-April-2001)2, WP-HTTS (29-Mar-2001), WAP 2.0 /MMS

Streaming (Catra)

Nemo Outdoor cannot establish streaming with the Nemo Server Catra streaming service.
With Nemo Handy, streaming is working correctly with the included test files.

CDMA SMS end-to-end testing

To be able to calculate end-to-end delivery time, SMS testing must be done using the same
operator between two terminals. This is due to the fact that SMS message ID changes from
operator to operator.

MMS testing

In case of high MMS sending/receiving failures it is recommended to increase the default


time out time from 30 seconds to for example 60 seconds.

With Nemo Outdoor 6.3 onwards the required Microsoft Network Monitor version is 3.4.

If IP packet capturing is not required it is highly recommended to uninstall it, as it affects


the CPU performance.

If data throughput problems are experienced with Windows 7 operating systems and you
are using auto-tuning TCP receive window, please see article
http://blogs.msdn.com/wndp/archive/2007/07/05/receive-window-auto-tuning-on-
vista.aspx or try to set the auto-tuning level to highlyrestriced." Auto tuning can be
restricted by running netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=restricted from the
command prompt. We have found that the restricted mode will often allow some of the
benefits of auto tuning with a number of problematic devices. Current auto tuning level can
be shown with the command netsh interface tcp show global.

With MMS testing the data transfer status can occasionally show more than 100%.

18 TROUBLESHOOTING DATA TRANSFER


ISSUES

18.1 PS connection works but no data


If UAC is set to always notify it might cause issues with data testing. PS connection can be
established but data transfer cannot be done. It is recommended to change the UAC settings to
Never notify. This can be done via User Account Control Settings. If the UAC settings cannot be
changed it is highly recommended to start Nemo Outdoor application with administration rights by
right-clicking Nemo Outdoor icon and by selecting Run as administrator.

Figure 7. UAC settings.

18.2 Antivirus filtering


Disable antivirus application and Windows firewall. If data transfer still does not work, please do the
following:

Activate PS connection (activate PDP context)

Go to Network settings and choose appropriate connection assigned for the device. Go to
Connection properties and check that antivirus NDIS filtering is unchecked.

18.3 Low data throughputs


In case lower data throughputs are received with Nemo Outdoor compared to third-party
applications, read this document for troubleshooting throughput problems with various TCP-based
protocols. Please note that the following applies to PC-based data transfers, not to data transfers
made by Nemo Media Router application running on Android-based smartphone. If you experience
low data throughput with Nemo Media Router application please see the chapter 18.5.

In case low throughput values are monitored with Nemo Outdoor and also with third-party
applications, the issue can most likely be seen by observing link adaptation parameters.

For example, low average CQI and high MAC-HS 3rd retransmission rate indicate an area of bad
coverage or high interference. Low HS-SCCH usage rate (= high HSDPA DTX percentage ratio)
points to capacity, server, or transmission problems.

In LTE networks, observe physical resource block allocation (PRB) and signal to noise ratio (SNR).
PRB affects throughput directly. Values less than maximum may indicate other users in the cell, a
bottleneck in the transmission network, or not enough data to be sent (application does not need all
the available bandwidth). If data throughputs in LTE are lower than expected, it is recommended to
adjust the buffer size via Nemo Outdoor user interface, for example, to value 1024. It should be
noted that buffer size must be adjusted separately for each protocol (e.g. for FTP and HTTP).

Page 48
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

When requested throughput is much higher than the actual measured throughput, it may indicate
that there are other users sharing the radio resources of the cell or some other bottleneck in the
network that prevents the mobile from getting the maximum achievable throughput.

High PUSCH TX power values indicate a lack of uplink coverage.

When operating in the dynamic range of link adaptation, average BLER (PDSCH BLER) should be
higher than 0, typically 10-20%, in order to achieve the gain of HARQ retransmission scheme.

Residual BLER after all HARQ retransmissions should be 0%. Higher values indicate that the radio
link is about to drop. Observe the MAC downlink/uplink residual BLER (%) values.

Other things that could help troubleshooting:

Disable any firewall and/or antivirus software that could reduce the throughput. Some HSPA
USB interfaces may also install their own software which may affect to window size settings
in registry.

Disable IP packet monitoring from the Advanced properties.

Figure 10. IP packet capture settings.

Try another FTP server for comparison.

Command prompt FTP throughput. This comparison is recommended because command


prompt FTP does not use any multithreading or other non-standard methods. For better
results, keep Nemo Outdoor at the background measuring the mobile network while making
the transfers. Also try different servers.

For Nemo Outdoor 5.60 and older versions: Run a script with simultaneous FTP transfers to
see if the throughput increases. Does not work manually, script is always needed.

For Nemo Outdoor 5.70 and later versions: Use the multithread feature of the FTP protocol
to test simultaneous transfers. Works also manually

For Nemo Outdoor 6.30 and later versions: Transmit/receive buffer size should not be
mixed with the TCP receive window size which is the global setting. TCP receive window size
affects the TCP/ IP layer whereas transfer buffer size affects the application layer. Transfer
buffer size can be adjusted per socket. This means that the transfer buffer size can be
adjusted for each test UE separately. Transfer buffer size can be adjusted with the FTP,
SFTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, and IMAP protocols

Page 49
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

When buffer size is not checked from user interface, Nemo Outdoor checks if auto-tuning is
on with Windows 7. If auto-tuning is on, no values are set. Otherwise the static value 64k is
used.

Normally default buffer values are acceptable. But if low data throughputs are still
experienced, increasing the receive/transmit buffer size may increase data throughput.

In uplink direction, transfer buffer size that is too high can be seen as high data throughput
peak at the beginning of the data session. For example, it is possible that measured data
throughput peak is higher than what the cellular system supports. In this case, decreasing
the transfer buffer size in uplink direction will eliminate high data throughput peaks.

Figure 11. Data transfer settings.

Make a comparison test between Nemo Outdoor and the connection manager used with the
device. When configuring a device with Nemo Outdoor, only the trace port should be
defined. The modem port and dial-up connection must be left blank. As ports are left blank
it is not possible to perform a manual PDP context activation or data transfer via Nemo
Outdoor. However, a script file with data connection commands can be used. Script files
should include only data transfer commands, not Attach/detach or PDP context activation or
deactivation commands. Start a data transfer and observe the application data throughput
value. Do the same test again but this time make a connection using Nemo Outdoor.

18.3.1All Windows versions


How to check the TCP window size from packet logs:

Using Wireshark:

1. Check the .pcap file and look at the (non FTP-DATA) TCP traffic in the middle of the
transfer. Window size value tells the current TCP window size used.

Using Nemo Outdoor:

1. Open a packet grid window in Nemo Outdoor.

2. Look at the TCP traffic in the middle of an FTP transfer with PayloadLen=0:

Page 50
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

3. Double-click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows the
current value.

Using debug logs (for developers, help desk, etc.):

1. Look for the GetWindowSizeFromRegistry() function.

TCP Window size set to n = Value found from registry.

TCP Window size set to default: n = Value not found from registry. Set to default.

TCP Auto-Tuning detected. Window size not set. = Windows Vista/7 is using auto-tuning TCP
window.

A measurement file (.nmf) does not save window size info. Packet log and/or debug log is always
needed.

18.3.2Windows 7
Windows 7 does not use static window sizes from the registry. They rely on dynamic window size
which is handled by TCP auto tuning feature. However, if the same registry value that Windows
uses is set, Outdoor reads it and adjusts the manual window size based on this value. In most
cases, the registry has been edited by a third-party software or a USB mobile interface
driver/software. This registry entry can be removed.

If the TCP auto-tuning is disabled Nemo Outdoor will use its default window size 64 KB. Outdoor
5.40 and newer checks the auto-tuning state and does not change any window sizes if auto-tuning
is enabled.
How to check TCP auto-tuning state:
1. Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field.

2. Type netsh interface tcp show global

Page 51
NEMO OUTDOOR 7.8.2 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level shows the current state.

Please note that administrator rights are required to change auto-tuning settings.

Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field. Right-click and select
Run as administrator.

Figure 12. Run as administrator.

To disable auto-tuning type netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled. This limits the TCP
window size to 64KB. However, Outdoor sets its own default 256KB when auto-tuning is disabled.

To increase the maximum TCP window size that auto-tuning uses, type netsh interface tcp set
global autotuning=highlyrestricted.

Below are all the values of auto-tuning level with explanations:

disabled: Uses a fixed value for the TCP receive window. Limits to 64 KB (65535).

highlyrestricted: Recommended. Allows the receive window to grow beyond its default
value, very conservatively.

restricted: Recommended. Somewhat restricted growth of the TCP receive window beyond
its default value.

normal: Default value. Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate most conditions.

experimental: Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate extreme scenarios (not
recommended, it can degrade performance in common scenarios, only intended for
research purposes). It enables receive window values of over 16 MB.

18.4 Issues with HTTP browsing testing


Selecting Automatic configuration or Proxy settings can cause problems with HTTP browsing
testing, such as, increase the page downloading time. In such a case automatic/ proxy settings
should be disabled. From Nemo Outdoor 7.7.0 onwards, proxy settings can be enabled.

18.5 Low Data throughput with Nemo Media Router Application


New Android based smart phones with Android version 6.0 have battery optimization enabled by
default. It will stop some CPU and network activity operating in the background for Android apps,
thus saving battery. It activates when handset is left idle for a period of time, while unplugged and
with the screen off. Battery saving mode interrupt background activity for Android applications such
as Nemo Media Router. E.g. with data transfers this is seen with limited data throughput values.
Battery saving option is disabled by default for the handsets delivered by Anite Network Testing.
However in case of low data throughput is experienced the following settings should be checked and
battery optimization should be disabled for all applications. Please note that settings menu varies
depending on handset vendor and model. Step by step instructions per handset can be found from
the device configuration guide

1. Select phone's settings.

2. Select battery from the device list and select battery optimization from the menu icon at the
top-right of the screen.

3. Select all apps from the drop-down menu in the center of the display. Now you'll see all the
apps that are Doze-enabled
