Breakthrough Solution for Mobile Network Troubleshooting
The K15 is the new Tektronix dedicated monitoring solution for mobile network testing, based on a high performance transportable platform equipped with real-time powerful troubleshooting applications and designed to handle the new demanding high performance requirements of mobile networks. Platform The CompactPCI-compliant platform houses a PC running Windows XP embedded operating system and up to five application boards in a small, easily transportable box. A complete operator interface is provided on the front panel, including a 14" XGA color display and attachable keyboard with pointing device. A central front foot allows optimal viewing angle. The top cover, which opens to the rear, can be left in place to protect from dust even when cables are connected. Flexible Data Storage and Communication resources are provided; drives are accessible from the side of the unit. Top access is provided for up to six 6U CompactPCI boards, housed vertically, and for a dual-slot plug-in AC power supply. Five slots are available for Interface/Measurement Application Boards; the sixth slot is equipped with a Pentium III CPU board. The backplane is compliant with the telecom extension of CompactPCI (H.110/PICMG2.5) GPS input is also supported. An Intelligent Platform Management subsystem (IPMI version 1.1 compliant) provides flexible management of platform ID, temperatures, fans, and other system values, and also provides low acoustic noise in low-power-consumption application.

Automatic UMTS Iub Monitoring Configuration Just by monitoring the UMTS Iub interface live traffic and without the need of restarting the Node B, this application consists of an expert software capable of automatically configuring all the logical links necessary to carry out Iub monitoring in just a few minutes. On the Iub interfaces being monitored by the equipment, the expert software automatically identifies the following parameters and configures the logical links accordingly:
AAL5 ATM VPI/VCI for NBAP and ALCAP traffic for each Node B AAL2 ATM VPI/VCI/CID for RACH, FACH and PCH CCCH for each cell
Automatic UMTS Iub Deciphering The UMTS Iub Deciphering application consists of an expert software capable of automatically deciphering in real-time all the ciphered protocol messages traveling on the UMTS Iub interface. All the necessary parameters needed for deciphering are collected automatically by the instrument by monitoring the Iu interface. Multi Interface Call Trace The Multi Interface Call Trace application is an expert software that helps trace calls/sessions in real-time and off-line as they evolve over multiple interfaces. Simple parameters like the IMSI are used to identify the subscriber identity and to trigger the search. The call/session can even be traced if the identifying parameters change dynamically during the transactions (for example IMSI, P-TMSI), even if it spans over multiple interfaces (such as Iub IuPS Gr) and involves different network elements (like Node B, RNC, HLR) The GUI allows drill-down troubleshooting from the problem symptom to the root cause with just a mouse-click. The Overview Window lists detected calls/sessions and highlights their status at a glance (normal, failed) for quick identification of problems. This allows filtering out calls that are not of interest for the particular test being performed (normal calls).
The Arrow Diagram graphically shows the message flow (arrows) of the call/ session and the involved network elements (vertical lines) in a very intuitive way. A deep protocol knowledge is not required. For in-depth troubleshooting of the problems root cause, all details about the protocol messages and their parameters are shown in the Detailed Monitor Window. Supported interfaces are:
SS7/GSM (ISUP, INAP) GPRS/EDGE (Abis, A, Gb, Gr, Gn/Gp) UMTS (Iub, Iu-PS, Iu-CS) cdmaONE/CDMA2000 (A1, A10/A11)
A wizard, designed for both beginners and experts, guides the user through the configuration process. Once the configuration process is finished and all the necessary logical links have been set up, the results can be saved for subsequent use.

H.324M Video Telephony QoS Analysis By tracking H.324M video calls on the Iu-CS interface, the H.324M Video Telephony QoS Analysis application enables to:
Calculate H.324M key performance indicators (KPI) to speed-up troubleshooting activities Extract the H.324M video/audio stream to assess its quality Look and listen at video calls to asses the customer perceived quality of service Extract the video stream in .3gp format for subsequent in-depth off-line video quality analysis with the Tektronix MTS4EA Software Suite.
Distributed Monitoring Applications The K15 embeds all the fundamental building blocks for a distributed monitoring architecture. The Remote Desktop capabilities, allow the K15 to:
Reduce technicians travelling cost and time, because operations can be centralized Reduce the time needed to solve problems, because inexperienced technicians in remote sites can be supported by skilled personnel at headquarters Maximize use of experts at headquarters, because troubles can be analyzed in real time without waiting for the technicians to collect traces.
The capability to stream protocol data to a hard drive while simultaneously conducting real-time analysis allows the K15 to:
Collect a large amount of data for subsequent analysis by using a simple recording pipeline that stores monitored protocol data in to an internal HD, to an external HD or to a network file system Merge data collected from different instruments at different sites by using an easy-touse File Merge Application Use previously collected data to perform offline analysis by using our offline or postprocessing software
Protocol Analysis The K15 monitors a wide range of SS7, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, cdmaONE, and cdma2000 protocols, featuring a graphical user interface that allows visualizing protocol messages with increasing level of details, along with easy-to-use, powerful filtering capabilities.
With the NTP and GPS synchronization capabilities, the K15:
Reduces the time needed to identify the root cause of a problem: With the new multiinterface call trace, all interfaces and network elements in the problem domain can be analyzed simultaneously Grows with the needs: If one instrument is not enough to cope with an increasing number of interfaces, additional test systems can be added and synchronized with the existing instrumentation Deals with the new high complexity problems in 2.5/3G networks: The new categories of problems which occur in the next generation mobile infrastructures require the ability to measure simultaneously and time synchronized at multiple interfaces in different geographic locations
