Summary:

This book has been designed to guide the students of the Bachelor's in Telecommunications Technology Engineering towards a clear understanding of how to use the laboratory tools, and show them how to analyze and understand the collected measurements. In this context, the book first introduces and describes how to use the professional measurement tools employed in the laboratory activities of the mobile communications course at UMH. These tools are commonly used by cellular radio engineers to monitor in real-time the performance of cellular networks through drive tests. The book first presents the Nemo Handy professional measurement testing tool developed by Anite. This tool is included in an engineering-mode cellular handset used to monitor in real-time the operation of cellular networks, and collect measurements for post-processing. Such processing is done using the Nemo Outdoor tool that is also introduced in the book, including examples of how to perform the most relevant processing actions. Finally, this book shows how to conduct some measurement and analysis processes using Nemo Handy and Nemo Outdoor. The measurements have been conducted over live UMTS and HSDPA networks in the city of Elche, and cover the analysis of important cellular functionalities like establishment and release of a call, cell selection and reselection, handovers, and analysis of data downloads and cellular parameters. This chapter shows with practical examples how to conduct the measurements using Nemo Handy, and how to interpret with Nemo Outdoor the exchanged cellular signaling messages in order to monitor the operation of cellular networks.
