parameter to add it into the pane under Expression to define conditions.
3. Operation symbols:
• Simple operational symbols: +, -, *, /, =, >, <, >=, <=
• !=: not equal to
• AND: means "together". Example: If A is TRUE and B is TRUE at the same time, then
"(A)AND(B)" is TRUE. In any other case, "(A)AND(B)" is FALSE.
• OR: means "any". Example: If any of A or B is TRUE, then "(A)OR(B)" is TRUE. If
both A and B are FALSE, the "(A)OR(B)" is FALSE.
• XOR: If both A and B are FALSE or TRUE at the same time, then "(A)XOR(B)" is
FALSE. Otherwise, "(A)XOR(B)" is TRUE.
• NOT: means opposite or contrary. Example: If A is TRUE, then "NOT(A)" is FALSE e;
If A is FALSE, then "NOT(A)" equals is TRUE.
Data Filtering
201 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
• Invalid Value: means no value. For example, no value is obtained for some parameters at
the start of the data file. Please note that invalid value is different from parameter value
"0". Invalid value is displayed as "-9999" in the software.
4. Logical expression: The logical expression consists of parameters, operational symbols (such
as "+", "-", and "="), comparison operators (such as ">", "<", and ">="), logical operators
(such as "AND", "OR", and "NOT"), etc. Examples:
• ([RSRP]>-100)AND([RSRQ]>-12): to filter data where the RSRP value is greater than
-100 and the RSRQ value is greater than -12.
• (([RSRP]>-110)AND([RSRP]<-80))AND(([RSRQ]>-14)AND([RSRQ]<-8)): to filter
data where the RSRP value is greater than -100 but less than -80 and the RSRQ value is
greater than -14 but less than -8.

software will provide a default name, and users may change it as required.
2. Range Type:
• Within a time range: Data collected within a specified time range (month/date/year,
hour:minute:second)will be valid, while data outside of the time range will be invalid.
• Before a specified time: Data collected before a specified time (month/date/year,
hour:minute:second) will be valid.
• Outside of a time range: Data collected outside of a specified time range (month/date/year,
hour:minute:second) will be valid, while those within the time range will be invalid.
• After a specified time: Data collected after a specified time (month/date/year,
hour:minute:second) will be valid.
• Within a time range of any date: Data collected within a specified time range
(hour:minute:second) will be valid. This indicates that data collected within the specified
time range of any day will be valid.
Note: Users may click Instruction to view the description of each type.
3. Start time/After time: Users may set the start time for data filtering. All data after this
specified time will be filtered.
4. End time/Before time: Users may set the end time for data filtering. All data before this
specified time will be filtered.
Note: Users need to set the start time and end time at the same time and the end time
cannot be earlier than the start time.
5. By Time: Select either UE time or PC time as there are two time properties for sampling

set. Pilot Pioneer Expert filter data within the union set by default.
Note: Union set indicates the set of all distinct elements in the collection. For example, the
union set of two region files A and B is the collection of regions which are in A or in B or in
both A and B.
Data Filtering
204 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
19.2.4 State
Users may define conditions (with events, parameters, or messages) and specify the state of a
main condition as Open or Close. If a main condition specified as Open is triggered, then the
software begins to filter data based on the condition and stop filtering data when a main condition
specified as Close is triggered.
Figure 19-8 Open and Close state
Note: The default state of a condition is Close.
There are two kinds of conditions: Main condition and sub condition. One main condition may
consist of multiple sub conditions. Users may add multiple main conditions and specify their
statuses as Open or Close. A "state" will be triggered (e.g. open/close) if all the specified main
conditions are met.
Users may double click State or click the icon to enter the settings page. See the figure
below:
Data Filtering
205 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM

1. Name: The name set here will be displayed in the filter list on the Filter window. The
software will provide a default name, and users may change it as required.
2. Main condition: Users may add multiple main conditions and specify their statuses as Open
or Close.
• Add: to add a main condition.
• Delete: to delete a main condition. All the sub conditions included in this main condition
will be deleted.
• Self-Terminate: If this option is selected, the main condition state will be automatically
changed to Close when a main condition is not met any more. In this case, users do not
Data Filtering
206 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
need to specify a Close state with conditions.
3. Sub condition: Only when all sub conditions are met can the specified state of the
corresponding main conditions be valid.
Users may click the Add button and add three kinds of sub conditions:
Figure 19-10 Sub conditions types
• Parameter: to add conditions based on logical expressions with parameters. Users may
refer to section 5.2.1 to add a condition based on parameters.
Figure 19-11 By parameter
• Parameter change: to add conditions based on parameter value change or parameter value
change from one specified value to another specified value.
Data Filtering
207 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
Figure 19-12 Parameter change condition
• Event and message: to add conditions with a single message or event.
Data Filtering
208 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
Figure 19-13 By message/event
4. Validity Options: If the duration of an Open state’s main condition is less than the value
specified by this option, the Open state will be considered invalid. For example, if users set
the main condition as RxLevel Sub > -85, and Type under Validity Options to Time, Size to
10, then only when the parameter value is more than -85 for at least 10 seconds, can the
specified state be valid.
Figure 19-14 Validity options
Note: If NONE is selected, there will be no limitation on the duration of a state.
When setting conditions by state, users need to pay attention to the following items:
• If multiple main conditions are defined as Open, only the one that is closest to the main
condition defined as Close takes effect.
Data Filtering
209 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
• Users need to define a main condition as Close or select Self-Terminate. Otherwise, the
filter will not filter the data.
• If users add a condition based on the parameter value, the state can be triggered only
when the value changes from the situation where the value does not to meet the specified
condition to the situation where the value meet the specified condition.
19.2.5 Condition Range
This is to filter data based on specified condition range (before, after, or after and before a
specified condition, which is similar as the sub conditions in the State type).
There are three factors in the Condition Range filter:
Condition: a specific parameter, event, message, or an expression defined by parameter,
event, and/or message
Direction: before the conditions triggered, after the condition triggered, or before and
after the condition triggered
Validity type: time (unit: s), distance (unit: m), or measurement samples (unit: count)
Users may double click Condition Range or click the icon to enter the settings page. See
the figure below:
Figure 19-15 Filter by Condition Range
1. Name: The name set here will be displayed in the filter list on the Filter window. The
software will provide a default name, and users may change it as required.
2. Trigger Condition: Users may select a type (e.g. Event Message) and then click Edit to add a
condition. Users can add only one condition type here. This operation is similar with that for
Data Filtering
210 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
adding a sub condition in section 19.2.4. Users may refer to the section for more information.
3. Range Options: Users may specify the condition’s range after the trigger condition is defined.
• Direction: specifies direction. Options, Before, After, After & Before.
• Type: specifies unit. Options: by Sampling Point, Time, or Distance.
• Size: specifies time/distance/sampling point size based on the specified Type.
Example:
To filter all sampling points 2 seconds before Tracking Area Update Failure, users need to set
Type under Trigger Condition to Event Message, click Edit to select Tracking Area
Update Failure, set Direction to Before, Type under Range Options to Time, and Size to 2.
See the figure below:
Figure 19-16 Set conditions
Note: If a defined trigger condition (e.g. RSRP < -100) is met within a duration, the software will
filter data before or after the duration based on the specified direction (e.g. Before or After), but
not before or after a specific sampling point that meets the condition.
19.2.6 Service
This type is to filter data based on test services (e.g. FTP Download) or test services with
additional conditions (FTP Download & FTP DL Throughput > 10 Mbps).
Users may double click Business or click the icon to enter the settings page. See the figure

19.3 Logical Operators
There are several logical operators including AND, OR, >>, <<, and NOT.
1. AND: means "together". Example: If A is TRUE and B is TRUE at the same time, then
"(A)AND(B)" is TRUE. In any other case, "(A)AND(B)" is FALSE.
Figure 19-20 Operator description-AND
2. OR: means "any". Example: If any of A or B is TRUE, then "(A)OR(B)" is TRUE. If both A
and B is FALSE, the "(A)OR(B)" is FALSE.
Data Filtering
214 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
Figure 19-21 Operator description-OR
3. >>: means the left set shall be a subset of the right set. If a True set of A is a subset of True
set of B, then this True set of A will be the one True set of "(A)>>(B)". See the figure below:
Figure 19-22 Operator description->>
4. <<: means the right set shall be a subset of the left side set. If a True set of B is a subset of
True set of A, then this True set of B will be the one True set of "(A) << (B)". This way, the
result of "(A)<<(B)" equals to that of "(B)>>(A)". See the figure below:
Figure 19-23 Operator description-<<
5. NOT: means opposite or contrary. Example: If A is TRUE, then "NOT(A)" is FALSE; If A is
FALSE, then "NOT(A)" is TRUE.
Data Filtering
215 © Dingli 17-06-2016 DL11100UM
Figure 19-24 Operator description-NOT
From the description above, we can see that the logical operators ">>" and "<<" are used to obtain
the intersection of two sets.
For example, if users need to filter the sampling points two seconds before LTE Handover Request,
where all RSRP values must be larger than -100 at the same time, users may define the condition
"2 seconds before the event LTE Handover Request" using Condition Range. This is followed by
defining the condition "RSRP>-100" using Parameter, and use the logical operator ">>" between
two conditions.
19.4 Use Filters
1. Users may use filters directly to filter data. For example, if a user selects a filter before he
exports data files, the software will filter the sample points based on the filter and then export
the data files based on other settings.
