Introduction
The NQDI – Network Quality Data Investigator Manual describes the usage and functionality of NQDI which is SwissQual‟s post-processing system used with the data produced by the QualiPoc and Diversity family of products for network optimization, service monitoring and benchmarking. NQDI is used to analyze the quality on Audio, Data and Video services in parallel with all network parameters and values from measurements on all mobile technologies GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, WCDMA, CDMA, EVDO, HSPA and WiMAX. NQDI also includes network protocol diagnosis for Layer3, TCP/IP, RSTP, UDP, H.245, H.324M, WAP, HTTP, FTP and Streaming Media Player traces. NQDI is designed as a Client/Server application using Microsoft SQL Server as repository for the measurement data. The Client application system includes features for data administration, filtering capability, analysis, statistics, map plotting and KPI report generation. There is also an NQDI version which supports the data import for the measurement files collected with the SwissQual Seven.Five system.

Figure 3-5 Name of New Database
Note: The username and password for creating a database are taken from the login screen. Enter a name for the database and click Create. NQDI will first create a new empty database. Then, it will execute several scripts to create all the necessary tables, stored procedures, views and functions. Afterwards, NQDI will run all scripts, named, for example, .sql from the ReportScripts folder to create the necessary queries for the reports. With the Options button, it is possible to create the database in a directory other than the default one defined in the SQL Enterprise Manager. Note: The directory must be on the same server as the SQL server installation and not in a local path. To do this, define a directory in the edit box. This directory must exist prior to creating the database.
Figure 3-6 Creating a database in a different directory
Please note the naming conventions of the MS SQL Server: Database names must be unique within a server and conform to the rules for identifiers. The database name can be a maximum of 128 characters. 7
Chapter 3 | Configuration CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
NQDI – Network Quality Data Investigator Manual © 2000 - 2010 SwissQual AG
Formatting rules for regular identifiers are: 1. The first character must be one of the following: A letter as defined by the Unicode Standard 2.0. The Unicode definition of letters includes Latin characters from “a” through “z” and from “A” through “Z”, in addition to letter characters from other languages. 2. Subsequent characters can be:
Letters as defined in the Unicode Standard 2.0.
Decimal numbers from either Basic Latin or other national scripts
The "at" sign (@), dollar sign ($), number sign (#), or underscore (_).
3. The identifier must not be a Transact-SQL reserved word. SQL Server reserves both the uppercase and lowercase versions of reserved words. 4. Spaces and special characters are not allowed. The Create button the database name only contains valid characters.
will remain greyed out until
Figure 3-7 Database Creation Progress
As soon as the creation of the database is finished, click Close to go back to the login dialog box. Click on OK to acknowledge the creation of the database. Importing custom SQL scripts into a new generated database: For importing any custom SQL scripts into a newly generated database, just copy the script to the CustomerScripts subfolder in your Diversity/NQDI folder. Every future database that you create with NQDI will load the information in the custom scripts directory to your database.
Upgrade an existing database Make sure that the free disk space on the hard disk is at least the size of the database you wish to upgrade. This is necessary because some temporary tables will be created during the upgrade process. It is also recommended that the database be backed up before upgrading to a new version. A database upgrade script is provided for each new release. This upgrade script performs all of the necessary changes in the database structure. To upgrade a database, you need to go to the Login dialog box. There, you have to select the Upgrade Database Schema icon:

Chapter 3 | Configuration CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
NQDI – Network Quality Data Investigator Manual © 2000 - 2010 SwissQual AG
Figure 3-8 Database Upgrade
Then, the following dialog box appears where you need to select the database you want to upgrade and the upgrade script. As soon as you selected the database, you will see the version information from this database (Actual Version). Based on this information, you have to select the upgrade script. The naming convention of the upgrade scripts is: Upgrade [actual version].sql to [new version].sql Sometimes it is not possible to upgrade the database in one step (e.g. from 10.0.0.0 to 10.4.0.0). In this case you have to run several upgrade scripts. Select the appropriate script for your DB version and run the script(s). Repeat this step until all databases are on desired version.
Figure 3-9 Select Upgrade Script
Depending on the size of the database, this procedure can take a while. The upgrade script will also load the new report scripts and the scripts for the scatter plots and map plots.

Data Management
On the main screen, you must choose the Data Management tab to switch to the data management mode. The data management is responsible for managing the contents of the database. Here, you can import measurement files into the database, or remove measurement files or single sessions from the database. The screen is divided into 2 main sections: Data import section Data removal section
Figure 6-1 Data Management
Importing Data Before you can start an import process, you must prepare a list of measurement files to be imported. To add measurement files to the import list, you must select the Import icon. The following dialog box appears:

Chapter 6 | Data Management CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
NQDI – Network Quality Data Investigator Manual © 2000 - 2010 SwissQual AG
Figure 6-2 Diversity Measurement File Selection
Collection Name: You can freely enter any name that describes the measurement files that you want to add to the import list. Use Directory Name as Collection Name: If checked, the collection name will be taken from the directory name. File Filter: You can enter a filter criterion. Sometimes there are quite a lot of measurement files in one directory. Then it can be hard to find specific files. Set the File Filter value to specify the names that appear in the file list box, along with the masks associated with each name. The File Filter is a file name that may include wildcards. The asterisk (*) is a wildcard which matches any number of arbitrary characters. The question mark (?) is a wildcard which matches a single arbitrary character. Recursive: If you select this checkbox and click Add, the files in the selected directory and subdirectories are added to the Import List. The File Filter is also applied for every subdirectory Important: This command only finds A and B-Side files from a measurement when both files types are in the same folder. To find A and B-Side files that are in different subfolders, right-click a folder in the right pane, and then click Search files recursively.
Examples All Files:
*
Only single sided files
*-S*
Only files from 6. October 2006

Note: Files, which are already loaded, appear in grey color. Once you have entered a new filter value, you must click Refresh to refresh the file list for your new filter. To refresh the file and directory list completely, press the F5 button. This will reload the complete directory tree. Roll-over Function: When you rollover the list of filenames with the mouse, a list of the tests included in that file will be shown (see Figure 4-27 and Figure 6-1). This rollover function will also indicate if a calling module or file is already imported (Figure 6-3). The information shown in the hint depends on the selected file type.

Chapter 6 | Data Management CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
NQDI – Network Quality Data Investigator Manual © 2000 - 2010 SwissQual AG
Important notes for Diversity files: It is not possible to import a B-side file only! The file selection allows only the import of Single files (*-S.sqz) or A/B files, whereas both files must be present! However, if enabled in the import settings, it is possible to import an A file without the B file. But this could lead to unexpected results and missing information. No support is given for cases where the A files are imported without the B file. The B File cannot be added later on.
Start the import To start the import process, click the Import icon. This icon changes to a Hand icon during import. The data import process will run in the background which means that during the import process you can continue with other work. The import process can be interrupted by clicking the Hand icon. The current processing file will be imported completely. The import process is logged in the Process Log window. There is an entry for each file. If an error occurs, there is a red entry that describes the type of error. Example of an ongoing import process:

Figure 6-5 The Import Log
Once the import is completed, you will see the message Finalizing import… in the Process Log window. This indicates that some scripts are currently running to calculate additional values. Do not interrupt this process! Otherwise, the database contents will be internally inconsistent and some reports can indicate incorrect values! This process takes approximately 10% of the total import time. Below that, you will see Import Summary and Import Statistics. These show whether there were any errors or warnings during the import process. It also shows you statistics such as duration, performance and the database size before and after the import.

Figure 6-6 Import Finished, Import Summary and Import Statistics
As soon as the import process is completed, you can check if there were any errors or warning messages. Note: Once you have imported the measurement files into the database, it is no longer necessary to keep the original measurement files on the disk, because all data is now available in the database. However, it is recommended to backup the files prior to deleting them, in case of a re-import. The process log can be printed, cleared and saved. Comments regarding the measurement files: In general, we distinguish between the following file types:
File Type
File Extension
Generated by:
Comments
Diversity
*A.sqz *B.sqz *S.sqz
Files are generated by the Diversity measurement system. The *A.sqz contains the A-side information. The *B.sqz contains the B-side information. The *S.sqz will be generated if there is no A- or B-side.
Files are not converted; they are imported directly. QualiPoc files are always present in the unpacked format (*.mf). These files are reprocessed before the import starts.
How the Import Procedure Works In general, we distinguish between A-side and B-side files, defined as follows: A-side files: All files coming from the measurement unit that initiated the first call of a test. B-side files: All files coming from the measurement unit that was waiting for a first incoming call after a test start. NQDI imports the A-side first as well as any test information of the B file, followed by the B-side file, which is linked to the A file.
Deleting Data In the data removal section, you can select the files or calls that you want to delete from the database.

Collections contains a list of all collections loaded to the database. Campaigns contains a list of all campaigns loaded to the database. File List contains a list of all measurement files that are available in the database. Date Scope: you can specify a date scope within which you want to remove the data from the database. To select more than one entry, you have to click while holding down the Ctrl key.
Figure 6-8 Multiple Selections
Delete all…: deletes all of the data from the database. After this, the database is empty Delete: deletes only the selected parts of the database. NQDI distinguishes between 6 different levels of deleting data: Level 1: Remove Audio and Video Recordings only. This will remove the WAV files from the database. It will delete the entries from tables like audioRecordings Level 2: Remove Level 1, Layer 1 and Scanner Data. This will delete the entries from tables like: MsgScannerData Level 3: Remove Level 2 and Layer 2 data. This will delete the entries from tables like: MsgGPRSInterLayerGMMSM Level 4: Remove Level 3 and Layer 3 data. This will delete the entries from tables like: MsgGsmData Level 5: Remove all data except the key parameters. This will keep data like the ResultsLqAvg with the LQ value. Level 6: Remove all Data. This removes the data from all selected tables. 35

Data Binning Data binning can average data that have the same feature, for example, same position. This feature is also another tool with which you can create grids for grid plots, that is, binning over position. NQDI has the following binning options:
Position by grid size: Provides a replacement to the manual grid drawing in the map analysis. This binning option creates a grid that includes all of the positions of the current data selection or complete database, depending on the status of the Calculate check box in the Binning dialog box.
Position by decimal places: Similar to the Position by grid size option except that you specify the 51
Chapter 7 | Data Selection CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
NQDI – Network Quality Data Investigator Manual © 2000 - 2010 SwissQual AG
number of digits over which the binning is applied, for example, one decimal place.
Speed: Averages all of the data from the same speed group. As this data is independent of position, this data cannot be plotted on a map. Instead, NQDI saves the results to the Binning and BinningRelation tables which are equivalent to the MapGrids and GridRelation tables for position binning.

Analysis
General The Data Analysis tab can be used to analyse the details of one specific session or a specific test. You can select that specific session or test either on the Session List of Current Selection or by using the session navigator.
Sessions We distinguish between the following types of sessions: IDLE, CALL and DATA. All data from a measurement file will be divided into one of these types of sessions. Example of a Voice Test File:
time The File The
Sessions:
The Tests:
Figure 8-1 Example of a voice test file
A session is the duration of a measurement call from the dial command until the disconnect/release. For voice calls, the session type is known as CALL A session can also be a GPRS data test (like an FTP transmission). Then the session type is known as DATA A session also indicates the time between two calls or between two GPRS data transmissions (session type is known as IDLE).
Tests A session can contain one or more tests. Type of tests: For Voice calls (session Type = CALL): e.g. LQ, DTMF, … For GPRS data tests (session Type = DATA): e.g. Ping, HTTP, SMS, …
Session Navigation The Session Navigation toolbar contains the following controls: Move to the first, previous, next or last session of the current selections
Increase or decrease the scope. The scope defines how many sessions are displayed in the session overview. The default value is 1, which means that apart from the selected session, the previous and next session are also displayed. 53

Handling of Charts Most charts in NQDI have the same user interface. The following functions are available: Set Watch Point:
Click the left mouse button to set the watch point. All related charts are synchronized with the clicked chart.
Zoom In:
Click and hold down the left mouse button and draw a rectangle to the right side. This will zoom the chart to the selected size (only in the time axis). All related charts are also zoomed to the same size.
Zoom Out:
Click and hold down the left mouse button and draw a rectangle to the left side. The size does not matter. The chart and all related are zoomed to the default size.
Scrolling:
Once a chart is zoomed in, it is possible to scroll in the time axis. Click the right mouse button and hold it down. Now, you can move in either direction.
Color Labels of Charts The color of the label is the same as that of the displayed value. So, if a value is black, it is not in chart, except when you have chosen black as the value color in the configuration dialog box of the chart. (see 56

Adding Values to Charts Note: You can add a maximum of two values with different units to a chart. To add another value to a chart, grab a label written in bold letters from the left side of the window and drop it onto a chart. If you like to remove a value from the chart, double-click on the corresponding label. For example: You can add ULARFCN (UE Rx Pwr) and ACTIVE SET MONITOR (Aggr. Ec/lo). In this case, you will get a scale for RxPwr on the left side of the chart (-100..20) and a dBm scale on the chart. At this point, it is not possible to add a BLER value. However, you can add TxPwr or another value that uses the same scale. To add BLER, you will have to either remove RXPwr or Ec/lo or you can open the second-line chart by selecting Show 2nd Chart.

Depending on the session duration the export and complete decoding of the layer-3 messages can take some time (several minutes up to some hours). So, if possible use the Time range function to limit the number of exported Layer3 messages.
Mobile phone C/I Information The C/I tab only shows up, if there is Mobile phone C/I Information available. By selecting one or more channels from the drop-down list, NQDI is calculating the corresponding C/I and RxLev values. These values can also be added to the chart as described in “Handling of Charts” on page 56.
Figure 8-17 Selecting channels
Figure 8-18. The corresponding C/I and RxLev values for the channels
Calculation time
The calculation process increases with the number of selected channels. So, it is wise to select just a few channels at a time to minimize the waiting period. 62

With the scatter plot functionality you can plot all values given in the X-Axis field (including Time) against all values in the y-axis field. Please follow the steps described below: Select a value for the x-axis (for example: RxLevFull) Select a value for the y-axis (for example: RxLevSub) Click Plot Data At this point, NQDI creates a scatter plot. If for any reasons there are no values available, the pane remains empty. Depending of the Data Selection and on the measurement values for x and y-axes this calculation may take a while. Below is an example of such a plot:

Once you have the result on the screen, you can change the following parameters: Colours of each point Colour Ranges Size of the points By clicking Add page, you can create additional scatter plots. By right clicking with the mouse on the chart, you can either save the chart to a file or copy it into the clipboard to paste it into Word, Excel, PowerPoint or any other application. To create a scatter plot, we need to correlate the two selected values. Due to the nature of the different measurement values (for example: RxQualSub appears every 480 ms and SQUAD LQ every 6 seconds), we need to calculate average values by using a time base. Such a time base could be a value in seconds. However, to optimise database query performance, the following grouping criteria are supported: Message Position Test Message: This value can be used, as long as the two selected values are located in the same table (for example, RxLevFull and RxQualFull). Position: This value can be used for a high-resolution correlation for measurement values coming from different tables (for example, Scanner Rx Lev and Radio RxLev). Test: This value can be used for scatter plots on a test base (like SQUAD LQ vs. RxQualSub, for example). 80

Figure 10-18 Shade Type – Ranges Fixed
This shade is a mix of the shades Individual and Ranges. The ranges must be entered (so they are fixed), but you can define all properties (color and symbol etc…) for each range. If you check Use circles instead of symbol (see section 9.6.3), the list of symbols and sizes will be greyed out but you still can define its properties. This shade type can be used in both points and grids. In grids, an average value is calculated for the area within a grid square and then the grid square is shaded accordingly.
Use a Second Item for Symbol Size: Check this if you are plotting 2 different values on one map, such as RxLev and RxQual. In Fig. 98, RxLev values will be plotted using different colors while the RxQual values will be plotted using a different symbol size.

Exporting Mapplots NQDI is providing a functionality to import and export map plots. To export a map plot, just click the export button and the map plot export window appears. First select the file you wish to export from the dropdown list. If you choose “” then your choice will be saved into a new map plot export file, which you can specify in a save dialog. If you choose any other item from the drop-down list you are able to modify 97

the original map plot files. As you chose one of these items, a list of groups from the selected file appears in the chosen map plot groups list. The different symbols have the following meaning: Represents an unmodified map plot group from the selected file
A new map plot group from the database will be added to the selected file.
A map plot group from the selected file will be overwritten with the one in the database. By dragging and dropping files from one list to the other it is possible to specify which map plot groups should be added, removed or overwritten in the selected file. Note: Once you have overwritten a map plot in an original file, it is not possible to undo this action. Because you are able to overwrite already existing map plot groups with the map plot import functionality it‟s recommended that you always save exported map plot files in a separate, custom map plot file and prevent overwriting the existing files. Once you have chosen all the map plots you want to export, press the export button to choose the location to which the map plots should be saved. Note: The file format of the map plot export file is a regular structured query language (SQL) file. While it is possible to execute this file in a standard query analyzer, it is recommended that you use the import functionality in NQDI to re-import these map plots.

AutoImport of custom map plots in new databases If you want to automatically import custom map plots, which you have generated with the map plot exporter, into each new generated database, you can just save them into the “MapplotScripts” folder in your “Netqual/NQDI/” folder. Each of these custom map plot export files will be imported into any new database that you will create. Note: If a map plot group in the custom map plot file has the same name as a map plot in an original file, then the custom map plot will not be automatically imported, while generating a new database. If you want this map plot to be imported automatically, then overwrite this map plot in the original map plot file in the export map plot menu.
Validity checking of map plot items A new feature is the validity checking of map plot items. If you press the checking button , all current map plot items will be tested, if they fulfil the minimal requirements for a complete map plot item. These are:
Having a shade selected
Having at least one field specified and selected
If one of these requirements should fail, a warning dialog will be displayed. Note: It is not possible to leave the map plot configuration dialog while there are wrong items specified. If you try to do so, the warning dialog will be displayed and you will be redirected to the incorrect item, to fix it.

A Diversity file has the extension sqz. Such files are created with the Diversity Test System.
QualiPoc Files
A QualiPoc file has the extension mf.
*.mf/*.sqz
yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-tttt-kkkk-ssss-vvvv-A.* for A-side files. The letters have the following meaning: yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss : The timestamp in the filename helps matching and sorting the files and is of use when the timestamp of the filesystem is lost (e.g. when using tttt :

Session
A session can either be a call session, a data session or an idle session. We distinguish between the following types of sessions: IDLE, CALL and DATA. All data from a measurement file will be divided into one of these types of sessions. Example of a Voice Test File: The File: time
The Sessions:
The Tests: A session is the duration of a measurement call from the dial command until the disconnect/release. For voice calls, the session type is CALL A session can also be a GPRS/UMTS data test (like an FTP transmission). Then, the session type is DATA A session is also the time between two calls or between two data transmissions (session type = IDLE). 145

Call session
A Call session includes all data between the dial command to the device and the call end. Normally, a call session contains exactly one call.
Data session
A Data session includes all data between the start of a data test and the end of a data test.
Idle sessions
An Idle session contains all data that are not allocated to either a data session or a call session. For example, the data between two calls or that data before the first data session.
Test
A test can be of the following types: Voice: Speech DTMF Noise Suppression Inband Round Trip (RTT) Acoustic Echo Passive (AEC) NiNA+/P.563 VMS (QualiPoc only) Data: Ping Ping Trace FTP UDPDL GPRSAttach GPRSDetach PDPActivation PDPDeactivation GPRSAvailability HTTPBrowser EMailSend EMailReceive WAP MMSSend MMSReceive SMSSend SMSReceive UDPPlus HTTPTransfer Video: VideoQT ViedoReal VideoQTSmart VideoRealSmart A test is always assigned to a session.

Restore a Database To restore a database, select the restore option from the menu. In the following dialog specify the name of the new database name (in the Fig below this will be NQDI).

Please check on the Option tab that the physical file name path exists (In the options below this would be C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\). If you restore the database to another name as it was originally or to another computer, then you maybe have to change the physical file path and name.
