2.6 Huawei CT support

[Case 59080] Added support for A and Abis interfaces for Huawei call trace files. Added new attributes for handover statistics. A problem has been resolved that affected CHR log files version 900 R012 and could cause two separate calls to have the same CT_Global_Call_Id. A problem has been resolved that affected CHR log files version 900 R012 and could cause the following attributes to be set wrongly: HuaWeiCHR_IU_Rel_Type HuaWeiCHR_IU_Rel_Reason

2.7 Invex3G support

[Case 62065] Added support for Invex3G version 5.4.17.

2.8 JDSU support

2.9 Nemo support

[Case 61924] LTE timing advance is now set in a new attribute called LTE_UE_Timing_Advance. In LTE, the following attributes are now set at the CELLMEAS message: LTE_UE_RSRP_For_PCI LTE_UE_RSRQ_For_PCI [Case 63405] in WiMAX, a problem has been resolved with the decoding of the Preamble Index information element. [Case 61380] A licensing problem has been resolved that could cause GSM scanner attributes to be missing. [Case 62192] In UMTS, a problem has been resolved that affected the indexing of the monitored set array attributes (such as Uu_MonitoredSet_SC,) when the UE was monitoring more than one frequency.

2.10 Netimizer support

[Case 62834, 63659] Added support for Netimizer version 3.3.0. Added support for Qualcomm LTE chipset in Netimizer log files.

2.11 Nokia chipset support

More HSUPA attributes are now set for Nokia chipset devices, including Uu_HSUPA_Throughput_MAC.

2.12 Qualcomm chipset support

[Case 62929] In LTE, the following new CQI attributes are set when the UE reports CQI for sub-bands: LTE_UE_CQI_for_SubBand LTE_UE_CQI_Cwd0_for_SubBand LTE_UE_CQI_Cwd1_for_SubBand

[Case 62857] In LTE, a new attribute is now set when the Qualcomm chipset detects a radio link failure: LTE_UE_RadioLinkFailure [Case 62855, 62856] In LTE, the following new attributes are set when a RACH access procedure takes place: LTE_RACH_AttemptFail LTE_RACH_AttemptOK LTE_UE_RACH_AttemptCount LTE_UE_RACH_AttemptResult

Actix Analyzer Update

December 2011

[Case 62637] In LTE, support was added for more LTE frequency bands for R&S scanners. [Case 62871] A problem has been resolved that could cause Sagem streams to be missing in Analyzer. [Case 62975] A problem has been resolved that prevented log files containing a new device type UMTS-PN-Scan from loading. [Case 62583] A problem has been resolved with new GPS message types that prevented some log files from loading.

2.14 SwissQual Diversity support

[Case 62622] A problem has been resolved that affected the indexing of UMTS monitored set array attributes (such as Uu_MonitoredSet_CS) in SwissQual version 11.0. [Case 63130, 63483, 63439] SwissQual specific event detection in Analyzer has been improved: Call setup failures caused by the logging aborting the call are now pegged as aborted calls (SwissQualCallAborted). The event detection stops and no call event is pegged when the end of side A or side B log file is reached.

[Case 63013] Two new throughput attributes are now set from Swissqual internal messages: SwissQualThroughput_DL SwissQualThroughput_UL The value of these new attributes is very close to the standard attributes App_Throughput_DL_Mean and App_Throughput_UL_Mean. The purpose of the new attributes is to give the ability to match exactly NQDI report values.

2.15 Generic

Added support for LTE X2AP protocol. [Case 62231] Attribute LTE_UE_CINR now has a new format group, which improves the visualization on maps and charts. [Case 63056] Added support for WiMAX handovers detection. [Case 63122] In WiMAX, a problem has been resolved with the decoding of L3 message Neighbor Advertisement Message.

3.2 GSM stateforms improvement

[Case 63562] The CW Scan stateform has been improved so that the RSSI measurements are only displayed with 2 decimals, which makes reading the values easier. [Case 63060] The GSM neighbour and scanner channels stateform has been improved so that the RSSI measurements are only displayed with 2 decimals, which makes reading the values easier.
