1.1 Introduction to the Nastar Performance Analysis System

The Nastar performance analysis system is a system that performs localization and analysis of quality-related problems on the radio network. This system supports multiple performance analysis such as coverage analysis, neighboring cell analysis, uplink-interference analysis, frequency analysis, complaint assistant analysis, and VIP KPI analysis.
Overview
The traditional network analysis system monitors the running status of networks by monitoring alarm information and analyzing performance reports. It analyzes networks on the basis of the alarm information and performance measurement statistics on network elements (NEs). The alarm information and measurement statistics, however, both reflect the running status of networks from the perspective of NEs. Therefore, they cannot provide evidences for expert and thorough radio network analysis and optimization. The Nastar obtains the data containing the characteristics of the radio network and analyzes the data. The data includes the MRs of radio links, pilot frequency measurement strength indicator, neighboring cell measurement data, uplink interference data, and user call events records (UCERs). By analyzing the data, the Nastar helps in locating and analyzing network problems and provides auxiliary solutions to the problems.
Product Function
The Nastar performance analysis system can be used together with the parameter management system and performance report system. The Nastar performance analysis system can be used for the routine maintenance, planning, and optimization of the radio network. Table 1-1 lists the functions supported by the GSM, CDMA, and UMTS networks. Table 1-1 Functions supported by the GSM, CDMA, and UMTS networks Technology Coverage analysis Neighboring cell analysis Uplink interference analysis Frequency analysis Complaint assistant analysis VIP KPI analysis GSM CDMA UMTS TD-SCDMA -
Table 1-2 describes the functions of the Nastar.

Table 1-2 The description of the Nastar analysis functions Analysis function Coverage analysis Description The information about the radio links involved in a customer's call in the test cell is included in the MR. The information pertains to the coverage, quality, and subscriber distribution of the carrier and cell. Coverage analysis can help network maintenance engineers analyze and locate a large number of network problems, such as weak cell coverage, cross coverage, poor QoS, imbalance between uplink and downlink. This function is performed to analyze neighboring cells based on the MRs of the actual calls of all the subscribers in the test cell. It supports the analysis of defined and undefined neighboring cells. It helps to identify and handle the problems, including redundant and missing neighboring cell configuration of a cell and improper priorities of neighboring cells. In addition, it can be performed to solve network QoS problems caused by redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration. This function is performed to analyze whether the values of the main and diversity Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs) of the transmit and receive channels of a BTS are normal. Based on the display and analysis in the time domain, it helps Nastar operators analyze and identify reverse interference signal sources, and thus initially locate the BTS that is being interfered with and the cause of the interference. This function can be performed to analyze and identify interference in the frequency domain and help Nastar operators select the frequencies experiencing light interference. This function is performed to evaluate the impact of GSM frequency planning and analyze the cells and Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers (ARFCNs) experiencing severe interference on the current network. If cells and ARFCNs experiencing server interference are detected during drive test (DT) analysis and traffic analysis, this function can be performed to find the frequencies that can be replaced. Therefore, network interference is decreased and network QoS is improved. Based on the interference traffic sequence of the available ARFCNs in an expansion cell, this function can also be used to find out the optimal frequencies to be added to the expansion cell. This is a basis for preparing a frequency plan for the network.

Analysis function Complaint assistant analysis
Description Whenever terminal subscribers encounter network-related problems, they lodge a complaint with the operators. After receiving a complaint, the operator can perform this function to obtain the UCERs pertaining to the mobile user concerned. Then, the operator can analyze the cause of the problem and then locate and solve the problem. This helps to improve the efficiency of handling complaints, thus improving user satisfaction. This function is performed to filter the call records of VIP subscribers from the UCERs of the entire network and obtain the KPIs of the voice and data services of VIP subscribers. The KPIs include call drop rate, call setup delay, and forward and reverse data rate. By monitoring the QoS of VIP subscribers each day, the Nastar operators can find out the potential complaints of VIP subscribers and solve them in advance to ensure that network problems do not arise. This helps to provide better services for the VIP subscribers and improve their satisfaction.

This topic describes the security management of the Nastar, such as the security management functions, security policies, and basic concepts. 4.1.1 Security Management Proper use and configuration of the security management ensures the secure running of the Nastar. 4.1.2 Concepts of Nastar Security The security management involves the concepts regarding the security of the Nastar. The concepts help you understand the description about security management and facilitate your operations. 4.1.3 Nastar User Rights Management Policies You can manage user rights based on the rights management policies. By this means, the allocation of user rights is clearer, and the rights management is more simple. 4.1.4 Operation Right List The operation right list describes operation rights of Nastar applications. You can refer to these parameters when you assign the operation rights for the Nastar users.
4.1.1 Security Management

Proper use and configuration of the security management ensures the secure running of the Nastar. The security management of the Nastar is a set of functions used for users and user rights management. To log in to the Nastar and perform operations, you need to have the user account and rights of the Nastar. Through users and rights management, the operator can log in to the Nastar to perform operations such as monitoring and maintenance to prevent illegal access and operations on the Nastar. In the security management, users and user rights are managed. The security management involves the following functions:
l l l l
Creating, monitoring, and deleting users Creating, monitoring, and deleting user groups Creating, monitoring, and deleting operation sets Managing user rights, including the user managed domain, operation right, and ACL settings. Monitoring users Setting the system ACL Setting the security policies of the Nastar, including the password policy, security policy, and system policy
l l l
4.1.2 Concepts of Nastar Security

The security management involves the concepts regarding the security of the Nastar. The concepts help you understand the description about security management and facilitate your operations.
User A user represents a user account. To create a user is to create a user account. Administrator is the default superuser of the Nastar, who has the right to view all devices and has all operation rights.
User group A user group is a collection of user accounts. You can create a user group to assign rights to its members. A network needs more than one person to maintain. Thus you need to create multiple user accounts for the Nastar. To manage users better, you can group them. The Nastar provide five default user groups:
The SMManagers user group has all the security rights, such as user management and resetting user password. The SMManagers user group also has the right of querying the security log, and the right of viewing the managed objects. You cannot modify the rights of the SMManagers. The Administrators user group has the right of viewing the managed objects, and the rights that does not belong to the SMManagers. You cannot modify the rights assigned to the Administrators user group. By default, the Operators, Monitors, and Normal groups do not have any rights. You can modify the rights of the Operators, Monitors, and Normal.
Managed domain The managed domain means which devices and boards that the user and user group have the right to view. You can set the managed domain of the user and user group to determine which devices that the user has the right to view. After the user logs in to the Nastar, only the information of the device that this user has the right to view is displayed on the Nastar client. For example, only the alarm information of the device that the user has the right to view is displayed.
Operation rights Operation rights determine the operations that a user can perform. Operation rights are associated with the managed domain. To perform operations on the NEs, you must have the viewing right and operation right.
Type set The type set refers to the right to perform operations on a certain type of devices. It is a special right. The type set means to assign rights based on the type of the NE device. After the rights of the type set are assigned to the user, the user has the rights to view and operate the device of this type set.
Operation set An operation set is a group of operation rights. It is used when the user or user group rights are set. Operation sets fall into two types, Network Management Application and Network Device. The operation sets of the network management application type only includes the network management application rights; the operation sets of the network device type only includes the device operation rights. Nastar provides two default operation sets, AllApplicationOperations and AllDeviceOperations. Operation set AllApplicationOperations is of the network management application type, including all the network management application rights except the security application rights; operation set AllDeviceOperations is of the network device type, including all the device operation rights.

l
Access control list Access control list is a mechanism of security control. Users are restricted to log in to the Nastar server through the specified IP addresses or network segment. In this case, illegal users cannot use your user name and password to log in to the Nastar server through IP addresses not in the access control list, even if they steal your account information. This helps to enhance the security of the Nastar.
4.1.3 Nastar User Rights Management Policies

You can manage user rights based on the rights management policies. By this means, the allocation of user rights is clearer, and the rights management is more simple.
l
Login right policy The user login right is the right to control Nastar user login Nastar, such as the login time, IP address, and account. You need to set the security attributes for Nastar users.
Managed domain and operation right policies There are two kinds of rights to manage the NEs. One is the right to view the NEs; that is, it determines whether the Nastar user can view the NEs. This right is controlled through the managed domain. The other is the operation right. This right controls which operation that the Nastar user can perform on the NEs. To perform operations on the NEs, you must have the viewing right and operation right.
User group management policy A user group is a set of users. The managed domain and operation rights can be granted to a user group. When a user is added to a user group, the user has the management domain and operation rights of the user group. In this method, the managed domain and operation rights of the users can be controlled in a centralized manner. Multiple users may use the Nastar for maintenance. These users can be divided into several groups based on the operations. Members of each group can only perform specified operations in the specified domain. Based on operations, users can play different roles, including administrators, operators, monitors, and custom operators. User groups are set up based on roles. Users are then assigned to the corresponding user groups. This realizes unified management of user rights.
4.1.4 Operation Right List

The operation right list describes operation rights of Nastar applications. You can refer to these parameters when you assign the operation rights for the Nastar users.

This section describes the log management function of the Nastar. The Nastar records Nastar running logs and user operation logs, so you can understand the Nastar running status by querying and collecting statistics on logs. In addition, you can save the query or statistics result in a file. The log management function of the Nastar enables you to perform the following operations:
l l l l
Querying logs; Collecting statistics on logs; Creating, modifying, or deleting a log query or statistics template; Saving and printing the log query or statistics result.
5.1.2 Log Types

The Nastar has three types of logs: operation logs, system logs, and security logs. The three types of logs record different log information. The following describes the three types of logs:
l
Operation logs Operation logs record the information about the non-security operations on the Nastar, such as querying logs.
System logs System logs record important events that occur in the Nastar. For example, the Nastar does not work properly, a network fault occurs, or the Nastar is under attack. The logs help you to analyze the system status. You can then remove the faults in time.
Security logs Security logs record the security operations on the Nastar, such as logging in to the server, modifying the password, and exiting the Nastar server.

6.1 Basic Knowledge of OSS Management

This describes the basic knowledge about the OSS management functions. You should grasp the basic knowledge before you perform management operations, which facilitates the management over network objects. In the OSS management, objects present the physical or logical entities on the network. A physical or logical entity, namely, an object, can be an OSS or an NE.
l
OSS Operation Support System. It defines the interface protocol principle in the Nastar. The Nastar collects the required data from a specified FTP server according to the OSS attributes and saves the data as files in a specified path in the Nastar.
NE NEs are used to identify network devices, such as switches and routers. NEs can be classified into actual NEs and virtual NEs. Actual NEs are actual telecommunications devices of Huawei on the network. Virtual NEs are the NEs that do not actually exist or are telecommunications devices of other vendors on the network.
The OSS management subsystem provides the basic functions for managing objects. The centralized task management subsystem adds the objects to the GUI through the OSS management subsystem. The OSS management of the Nastar provides the following functions: creating an OSS, viewing and modifying the attributes of OSSs, deleting the OSSs, refreshing the OSSs, importing the OSSs and export the OSSs.

7 GSM Centralized Task Management
GSM Centralized Task Management
About This Chapter

The Nastar provides centralized management for the GSM timing tasks. By setting GSM timing tasks, you can collect data from the EMS periodically, save the data as a file in certain path on the Nastar system, and import the data from the file to the database periodically for future query and analysis. In addition, you can delete the data whose storage duration has expired from the database at the preset time to save resource space of the system. By using the function of GSM centralized task management, you can create, modify, delete, suspend, resume, or cancel a GSM timing task. In addition, you can view information such as status and progress of a task. 7.1 Basic Knowledge of Centralized Task Management Centralized task management involves the concepts such as types of timing tasks, parameters for task scheduling, and states of timing tasks. Learning the basic knowledge of the centralized task management helps you perform the operations related to the centralized task management. 7.2 Creating a GSM User-Defined Timing Task The Nastar allows you to create GSM timing tasks. Thus, you can create GSM timing tasks by setting common parameters and extended parameters based on the requirements of network maintenance. 7.3 Modifying a GSM User-Defined Timing Task The Nastar allows you to modify certain parameters of a GSM user-defined timing task. If the execution of a GSM user-defined timing task is complete, you cannot modify the task. 7.4 Modifying a GSM Data Deletion Task This describes how to modify a GSM data deletion task. If data is periodically imported to the Nastar database, the database resources may be insufficient. By performing the GSM data deletion task, the Nastar can delete the data whose storage duration has expired from the database at the preset time to save system resources. A GSM data deletion task is a system timing task. You can modify only certain parameters of the task. To modify a GSM data deletion task, you must be a user in the administrator group. If the execution of a GSM data deletion task is complete, you cannot modify the task. 7.5 Modifying the Task of Backing Up Data This describes how to modify certain information about the system-created task of backing up data. 7.6 Setting the Suspend or Resume Time of a Timing Task

7.1 Basic Knowledge of Centralized Task Management

Centralized task management involves the concepts such as types of timing tasks, parameters for task scheduling, and states of timing tasks. Learning the basic knowledge of the centralized task management helps you perform the operations related to the centralized task management. 7.1.1 Types of Timing Tasks The Nastar divides timing tasks into different types according to execution periods and task features. 7.1.2 System Timing Tasks The system timing task is created during the installation or upgrade of the Nastar system. User dbuser is the Creator of the system timing task. 7.1.3 User Timing Task A user timing task is a customized task that is created to maintain a network. 7.1.4 Task Scheduling Parameters The task scheduling parameters are the parameters related to the task execution type, consisting of task start time, task execution period, and execution times. 7.1.5 States of a Timing Task A timing task has four states: idle, running, suspended, and finished. 7.1.6 Customizing the Interface for Managing Timing Tasks This describes how to customize the interface for managing timing tasks. The system can display timing tasks of the specified function type in the navigation tree or display the timing tasks that meet the conditions in the task list.
7.1.1 Types of Timing Tasks

The Nastar divides timing tasks into different types according to execution periods and task features.
Tasks Divided According to Execution Period

According to the execution periods of tasks, the Nastar divides the managed timing tasks into two types: one-time task and periodic task. Table 7-1 describes the meanings of two task types. Table 7-1 Tasks divided according to execution period Task Type One-time task Periodic task Description A task is performed only once at a specific time. A task is performed periodically after a specific time.
Tasks Divided According to Task Features

According to different task features, the Nastar divides the managed tasks into two types: system timing tasks and user timing tasks. Table 7-2 describes the meanings of each task type.
Table 7-2 Tasks Divided According to Task Features Task Type System Timing Tasks User Timing Tasks Description System timing tasks are necessary for the Nastar system to run properly. For details, see 7.1.2 System Timing Tasks. User timing tasks are the user-defined tasks that are created to meet the requirement of network maintenance. For details, see 7.1.3 User Timing Task.
7.1.2 System Timing Tasks

The system timing task is created during the installation or upgrade of the Nastar system. User dbuser is the Creator of the system timing task. The Nastar uses
NOTE
to indicate system timing tasks.
l l
Users in the administrator group and users in the operator group can browse system scheduled tasks. No user groups can manage system scheduled tasks. The system timing tasks cannot be copied or deleted. Only some parameters of the system timing tasks can be modified.
7.1.3 User Timing Task

A user timing task is a customized task that is created to maintain a network.
l l
You can create, modify, delete, copy, suspend, and resume user timing tasks. The Nastar uses to indicate the user timing tasks.
7.1.4 Task Scheduling Parameters

The task scheduling parameters are the parameters related to the task execution type, consisting of task start time, task execution period, and execution times. Table 7-3 describes the task scheduling parameters. Table 7-3 Description of the task description parameters Parameter Task Type Description According to different task execution periods, the Nastar divides the execution types of the managed timing tasks into two types: periodic execution and one-time execution. The execution type of the system timing tasks is periodic execution. The execution type of the other user timing tasks can be periodic execution or one-time execution. Indicates start time of periodic tasks and one-time tasks set during task creation, including date and time. The start time of tasks should be later than the current server time.
Issue 06 (2010-08-18)
Task start time
7-4
Parameter Period
Description
l
Interval between periodic tasks. It has two enlistments: unit and duration. The task execution period can be represented by month, week, day, and hour. The period interval range is as follows: 1 to 12 for month, 1 to 52 for week, 1 to 366 for day, 1 to 8784 for hour.
Run Times
Indicates execution times of a periodic task. The execution times range from 0 to 65535. The value 0 indicates no limit.
For example, if the scheduling parameters of the data collection task are:
l l l l
Execution type = Periodicity Start time = 2006-10-21 09:07:28 Execution period = 1 day Period execution times = 0
Infer that the system starts to carry out the data collection task every day from 2006-10-21 09:07:28.
7.1.5 States of a Timing Task

A timing task has four states: idle, running, suspended, and finished. The states of a timing task change with different operations. For details, see Figure 7-1. Figure 7-1 State transition of a timing task
Issue 06 (2010-08-18)
7-5
State transition of a timing task is as follows:

l l l l l l
A timing task is in the idle state after it is initially created. An idle task is changed to the running state after being scheduled. An idle task is changed to the suspended state after being suspended. A running task is changed to the idle state after being cancelled. A suspended task is changed to the idle state after being resumed. If a task need not be scheduled after being performed, it is in the finished state. If it needs to be scheduled again, it returns to the idle state.
When a timing task is in the idle, suspended, or finished state, you can delete the timing task.

8.1.1 GSM MR Analysis Function

This describes the GSM MR analysis function. The GSM MR includes the following information about the measurement cell: uplink and downlink levels, uplink and downlink quality, timing advance (TA) distribution, and link balance information. You can know the TRX and cell coverage, quality, and user distribution directly from the information. The processing and direct displaying of the radio link information by the system can help you to solve many network problems.
MR Overview Report
An MR overview report contains the following information: an overview of the radio network performance, the distribution of TopN TRXs and problematic TRXs of each BSC and cell group, the TopN TRX for which the value of each radio link counter is the lowest, and the classification of the problematic TRXs based on topic analysis. You can view the overview report routinely generated to check the information about the TopN TRXs and problematic TRXs of each BSC, each cell group, and the entire network, and check the causes of the problematic TRXs. You can also check whether other problematic TRXs exist in the cell that the selected TopN TRX or problematic TRX belongs to and analyze these TRXs. The problem analysis topics are as follows:
l l
Weak coverage analysis. TRXs with a low TA value, low level, and poor quality are listed. Interfered cells. Cells with high level and poor quality are listed.
Issue 06 (2010-08-18)

l
Over coverage analysis. You can compare the TA values and the number of MRs to analyze the traffic distribution and check whether the cell is a over-coverage cell. Unbalance of the uplink and downlink. The cells whose uplink and downlink are obviously unbalanced are listed. Other problems. Problems occurring on the network, such as small number of MRs and null or low traffic of a TRX, are listed.
The analysis results can be displayed in a table or a bar chart to provide the radio link quality, level, traffic distance distribution, and link balance. Analysis of the problems and recommended solutions are provided to help you to quickly analyze and locate the quality problems that occur in the radio network.
MR Query
During network performance analysis and optimization, when abnormal cells (such as a cell whose call drop rate is high or the number of failed handover attempts is great) are found, you can query the MR information about these cells and the radio links of the TRXs in the cells through the Nastar performance analysis system. You can set the time and cell objects before the query. The MR information about these cells is displayed in the window of results. In addition, you can use the Nastar performance analysis system to further query the TRX information. Through the comparison and query of different TRXs in cells, you can locate more complicated network problems effectively. The query results are displayed in a table or a bar chart to provide the radio link quality and user distribution of each TRX.
MR Comparison Analysis
After network upgrade and optimization such as the adjustment of antennas and modification of parameter settings, you can compare the quality and coverage of the entire network, BSC, cell group, or cell with the quality and coverage obtained before the network upgrade and optimization, or you can compare the quality and coverage of different time segments during the network upgrade and optimization. The comparison results are displayed in a table or a bar chart.
8.1.2 TopN KPIs

This describes TopN KPIs related to the performance analysis. The KPIs include average quality of the received signals at uplink and downlink (full rate), average quality of the received signals at uplink and downlink (half rate), average levels received at uplink and downlink (full rate), average levels received at uplink and downlink (half rate), timing advance (TA) average distribution, and uplink and downlink balance.
Received Signal Quality

The quality of received signals is divided into eight levels from level 0 to level 7 according to the bit error rate. Each level corresponds to different bit error rates. Higher level indicates the poorer quality of the received signals. Level 0 indicates the minimum bit error rate and the best quality of the received signals. Level 7 indicates the maximum bit error rate and the poorest quality of the received signal. Table 8-1 describes the relation between the quality levels of the received signals and the bit error rate.

<0.2 % 0.2 %~0.4 % 0.4 %~0.8 % 0.8 %~1.6 % 1.6 %~3.2 %
Received Level
The received signal level is divided into eight levels according to level values. Each level corresponds to different ranges of received levels. Higher level indicates the higher received level. Level 0 indicates the lowest received level and level 7 indicates the highest received level. Table 8-2 describes the relation between the received levels and the levels.

8 GSM MR Analysis
TA
The TA is a counter used to describe the distance with time and is used for the coverage analysis. The header of the MR sent from a mobile station (MS) to a BTS is carried with the measurement delay of the MS. The BTS must monitor the time when a call reaches and send an instruction to the MS every 480 ms on the downlink channel to specify the advanced sending time for the MS. This time is termed TA, ranging from 1 to 63.
Uplink and Downlink Balance

The MR received by the BSC contains the uplink receive level and downlink receive level. The result (in dB), which is obtained by subtracting the uplink receive level and the sensitivity difference between the MS and the BTS from the downlink receive level, is classified into 11 levels from level 1 to level 11. Table 8-3 describes the relations between levels and values of the Uplink and Downlink Balance Level counter. Table 8-3 Description of link balance levels Uplink and Downlink Balance Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Downlink Receive Level- Uplink Receive Level- 6 (dB)

NOTE
The number 6 in the formula "Downlink receive level - Uplink receive level - 6 (dB)" refers to the sensitivity difference between the MS and the BTS.
If the statistical result indicates that the uplink and downlink are mostly in balance level 1, the downlink loss is excessively high or the downlink transmit power is excessively low. If the statistical result indicates that the uplink and downlink are mostly in balance level 11, the uplink loss is excessively high or the downlink transmit power is excessively low. According to the statistical result, you can locate the faults that occur on the transmit and receive channels, such as the TRX or antenna feeder.

8.1.3 GSM MR Topics

This describes GSM MR topic analysis types such as the analysis of the uplink interference, downlink interference, uplink poor coverage, downlink poor coverage, TRX poor coverage, remote coverage, uplink imbalance , downlink imbalance, and other problems. This also describes the solution to these problems. The GSM MR topics are classified into nine categories. The system provides different operation suggestions for each category. For details, see Table 8-4. Table 8-4 Topic categories and relevant operation suggestions Topic Uplink interferen ce Description The uplink-interference results in the high level and poor quality. Suggestion Change the ARFCN and check whether radio interference sources exist in the coverage area. After the ARFCN is changed, enable the function of uplink-interference analysis to analyze the interference according to the uplink frequency distribution that is measured by TRXs. Change the ARFCN and check whether radio interference sources exist in the coverage area. After the ARFCN is changed, use an MS to search for frequencies within the cell coverage where the TRX is transmitted, and observe the downlink frequency status. Check the cable connections between the combiner and the TRX, and connections in the antenna system. Ensure that the cable connections are proper and secure, and then locate the fault by changing the cable ports, combiner, and TRX. Move an MS to a place near the TRX to measure the actual power of the TRX. Check whether the downlink level of the TRX is low. If the downlink level of the TRX is low, check the cable connections between the combiner and the TRX, and connections in the antenna system. Then, check the level at the TRX entry and output entry of the combiner by using the power meter to locate the fault.

Description
l l
Suggestion
l
Remote TRX coverage The TRX coverage is remote, which causes the low quality of the uplink and downlink. Uplink and downlink are not balanced. The downlink is stronger. The excessive loss of the uplink results in the low received level and poor signal quality of the BTS.
Check whether there are missing neighboring cells and cells whose coverage is remote. Check whether the actual azimuth of the antenna is the same as the antenna azimuth in design. If the antenna is omni-directional, check whether the coverage is excessively large. Check whether the coverage complies with the planning and whether the output power of the TRX and CDU is normal. You can adjust the uplink received threshold and the level of the downlink static power to balance the uplink and downlink. Check the cable connections between the combiner and the TRX, and connections in the antenna system. Ensure that the cable connections are proper and secure, and then locate the fault by changing the cable ports, combiner, and TRX. Check whether the coverage complies with the planning and whether the output power of the TRX and CDU is normal. You can adjust the threshold of the receive power and the level of the static power on the uplink to balance the uplink and downlink. Move an MS to a place near the TRX to check the actual power of the TRX and check whether the downlink level of the TRX is low. If the downlink level of the TRX is low, check the cable connections between the combiner and the TRX and connections in the antenna system, and check the level at the TRX entry and output entry of the combiner by using the power meter to locate the fault.
upLink imbalance
downLink imbalance
Uplink and downlink are not balanced, and the uplink is stronger. The excessive loss of the downlink results in the low received level and poor signal quality of the MS.
Others
The performance of the TRX receive level is abnormal. The number of MRs is excessively small.
Check whether the hardware or software of the TRX is faulty and whether only a small number of MRs is reported. In addition, analyze whether the generation of a small number of MRs is proper.

9.1 Basic Knowledge of GSM Neighboring Cell Analysis

This describes the basic knowledge of the GSM neighboring cell analysis, such as the neighboring cell analysis functions, function application scenarios, and algorithms for neighboring cell analysis. The basic knowledge helps you to perform the operations of GSM neighboring cell analysis. 9.1.1 GSM Neighbor Cell Analysis Function This describes the GSM neighboring cell analysis function. This function is used to analyze defined and undefined GSM neighboring cells. By performing this task, you can check and handle the problem of redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration of a cell. Direct display of the relevant analysis information can help you to solve network quality problems that are caused by the redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration. 9.1.2 Algorithms for the GSM Neighboring Cell Analysis This describes the algorithms for the GSM neighboring cell analysis, such as the algorithms used to check missing neighboring cells and redundant neighboring cells.
9.1.1 GSM Neighbor Cell Analysis Function

This describes the GSM neighboring cell analysis function. This function is used to analyze defined and undefined GSM neighboring cells. By performing this task, you can check and handle the problem of redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration of a cell. Direct display of the relevant analysis information can help you to solve network quality problems that are caused by the redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration.
Neighboring Cell Analysis

After you set the conditions for checking the redundant or missing neighboring cell configurations, the Nastar performance analysis system analyzes the neighboring cells of a selected cell. The analysis results are displayed on a bar chart. In the results, the defined neighboring cells, undefined neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and missing neighboring cells are displayed in different colors. In addition, the Nastar performance analysis system enables you to export the results of the neighboring cell analysis as files. In the window of the neighboring cell analysis results, you can add missing neighboring cells, delete the redundant neighboring cells, and create the analysis result file. Then, the result file provides the optimization suggestions. You can export the results of the neighboring cell analysis as a CSV or XLS file. The CSV or XLS file can help you to optimize the neighboring cell relations on the network. Before the neighboring cell analysis, check whether a defined neighboring cell of the test cell is of co-channel and co-BSIC with other cells. If a defined neighboring cell or an undefined neighboring cell close to the measurement cell is of co-channel and co-BSIC with other cells, the network stability and accuracy of frequency analysis cannot be guaranteed.
Requirements for the Network

The network must be stable during the period of collecting data for neighboring cell analysis. Otherwise, the accuracy of the analysis cannot be guaranteed. Table 9-1 describes the network changes and their impacts.
Table 9-1 Network changes and their impacts Network Change Adding or deleting BTSs Antenna data changes such as the changes of the azimuth, tilt angle, and height Changes of the transmit power and the related parameters such as the discontinuous transmission and power control Frequency planning change. For example, a new frequency planning is added to the network. Change of handover relations and parameters Change of BSC topology or other NE topology Impact Affects the cell handover and network coverage. In this case, the analysis result cannot correctly reflect the current network status. Results in the changes of the cell coverage and network interference.
Results in the changes of the cell coverage and network interference.
The change of the configuration data affects the identification of defined cells and undefined cells. In this case, the analysis result cannot correctly reflect the current network status. You are advised to keep the network stable during the data collection period. Affects the statistical results during the period of collecting and optimizing the neighboring relation data. The BSC is responsible for collecting statistical results. Thus, the measurement task cannot be normally performed if the network topology is changed. You are advised to keep the network topology unchanged during the data collection period.
9.1.2 Algorithms for the GSM Neighboring Cell Analysis

This describes the algorithms for the GSM neighboring cell analysis, such as the algorithms used to check missing neighboring cells and redundant neighboring cells. The algorithms for the GSM neighboring cell analysis are used to check missing neighboring cells and redundant neighboring cells. For details, see Figure 9-1.
9-4
Issue 06 (2010-08-18)
Figure 9-1 Algorithms for the GSM neighboring cell analysis
The algorithms for checking the missing GSM neighboring cells are as follows: 1. Calculate the integrated priority of all the neighboring cells of the measurement cell. The neighboring cells are sorted in descending order of integrated priority. The sequence numbers of neighboring cells are inversely proportional to integrated priorities. If the sequence number of a neighboring cell is smaller than or equal to the value of No. 1, as shown in Area (1) in Figure 9-1, you can infer that the sequence number of this cell is relatively small among the neighboring cells of the measurement cell and that this cell is the direct neighboring cell of the measurement cell. You are advised to configure this cell as a neighboring cell. If the integrated priority of a neighboring cell is higher than TH or is TH, and the sequence number of this cell is between the value of No. 1 and the value of No. 2, as shown in Area (2) in Figure 9-1, you can infer that the sequence number of this cell is relatively small in a certain measurement period and that the level of the cell is higher than the relative level and absolute level. In this case, configure this cell as a neighboring cell. If an undefined cell meets either of the second and third requirements, configure the cell as a missing neighboring cell. Otherwise, do not configure the cell. Calculate the integrated priority of the neighboring cells of the measurement cell. The neighboring cells are sorted in descending order of integrated priority. The sequence numbers of neighboring cells are inversely proportional to integrated priorities. If the sequence number of a neighboring cell is greater than the value of No. 2, as shown in Area (3) in Figure 9-1, you can infer that the sequence number of this cell is relatively large in a certain measurement period and that the level of the cell is rarely higher than the relative level and absolute level. In this case, regard this cell as a redundant neighboring cell and delete it. If an undefined cell meets the second requirement, regard this cell as a redundant neighboring cell and delete it. Otherwise, do not configure the cell.

Procedure Create an endto-end task corresponding to a neighboring cell analysis task
Description You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to a neighboring cell analysis task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results. When you create an E2E task, the Nastar will automatically create a data collection task.
Create a neighboring analysis task
You can create a neighboring cell analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required performance data and neighboring measurement data from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can view the analysis results of the neighboring cell analysis tasks that are successfully performed, add missing neighboring cells, and delete redundant neighboring cells. You can export a frequency analysis report from the Nastar.

10.1 Basic Knowledge of GSM Frequency Analysis

This provides the basic knowledge of the GSM frequency analysis, which covers the following aspects: frequency analysis functions, function application scenarios, frequency analysis algorithms, frequency optimization algorithms, and ARFCN spacing rules. The basic knowledge helps you analyze and optimize the GSM frequencies more efficiently. 10.1.1 GSM Frequency Analysis Function This describes the GSM frequency analysis function. By using this function, you can analyze the cell interference matrix and frequency interference matrix, check the interference between a cell and its neighboring cells, evaluate the results of the frequency planning, and analyze the strongly interfered cells and frequency. 10.1.2 Process of GSM Frequency Analysis This describes the process of GSM frequency analysis, which helps you perform frequency analysis more efficiently. 10.1.3 Process of GSM Frequency Optimization This describes the process of GSM frequency optimization, which helps you perform frequency optimization more efficiently. 10.1.4 Spacing Rules of GSM ARFCNs This describes the spacing rules of GSM ARFCNs, which help you optimize the frequencies more efficiently.
10.1.1 GSM Frequency Analysis Function

This describes the GSM frequency analysis function. By using this function, you can analyze the cell interference matrix and frequency interference matrix, check the interference between a cell and its neighboring cells, evaluate the results of the frequency planning, and analyze the strongly interfered cells and frequency.
Frequency Analysis
The Nastar performance analysis system provides the interference traffic of each neighboring cell of the measurement cell, and exports the interference matrix of each cell in a report. The output of the interference matrix is based on the real traffic of the network. The system can accurately calculate the ratio of the interference traffic to the cell traffic during the frequency adjustment. Before the frequency analysis, check whether a defined neighboring cell of the measurement cell is of co-channel and co-BSIC with other cells. If a defined neighboring cell or an undefined neighboring cell close to the measurement cell is of co-channel and co-BSIC with other cells, it affects the network stability and accuracy of the frequency analysis. In addition, the Nastar performance analysis system enables you to export the frequency analysis results as a CSV or XLS file.
Requirements for the Network

The network must be stable during the period of collecting data for frequency analysis. Otherwise, the accuracy of the analysis cannot be guaranteed. Table 10-1 describes the network changes and their impacts.
Table 10-1 Network changes and their impacts Network Change Adding or deleting BTSs Antenna data changes such as the changes of the azimuth, tilt angle, and height Changes of the transmit power and the related parameters such as the discontinuous transmission and power control Frequency planning change. For example, a new frequency planning is added to the network Change of handover relations and parameters Change of the BSC topology or other NE topologies Impact Affects the cell handover and network coverage. In this case, the analysis result cannot correctly reflect the current network status. Results in the changes of the cell coverage and network interference.
Results in the changes of the cell coverage and network interference.
The change of the configuration data affects the identification of defined cells and undefined cells. In this case, the analysis result cannot correctly reflect the current network status. You are advised to keep the network stable during the data collection period. Affects the statistical results during the period of collecting and optimizing the neighboring relation data. The BSC is responsible for collecting statistical results. Thus, the measurement task cannot be normally performed if the network topology is changed. You are advised to keep the network topology unchanged during the data collection period.
10.1.2 Process of GSM Frequency Analysis

This describes the process of GSM frequency analysis, which helps you perform frequency analysis more efficiently. The mechanism of frequency analysis is as follows: The system identifies the interference between a measurement cell and its intra-frequency cells and cells on a neighboring frequency, estimates the result of frequency planning, analyzes the cells and ARFCNs with strong interference on the current network. For more information about the mechanism, see Figure 10-1.

10.1.3 Process of GSM Frequency Optimization

This describes the process of GSM frequency optimization, which helps you perform frequency optimization more efficiently. The mechanism for frequency optimization is as follows: The system identifies the frequency interference when a measurement cell in a frequency interference matrix is configured with the current BCCH and TCH among the candidate ARFCNs. Then, it assigns a proper BCCH and proper TCHs for each measurement cell. For more information about the mechanism, see Figure 10-2.

10.1.4 Spacing Rules of GSM ARFCNs

This describes the spacing rules of GSM ARFCNs, which help you optimize the frequencies more efficiently. The spacing rules are as follows:
l
Spacing rules between BCCHs, TCHs, or between a BCCH and a TCH of co-site cells For example, you select three co-site cells: cell A, cell B, and cell C. The space between BCCHs of each cell is set to 2. If you select cell A as the measurement cell, and the BCCHs of cell B and cell C are respectively 16 and 20, the BCCH of cell A should not be 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, or 21. If these ARFCNs are present in the candidate BCCHs, the information about these ARFCNs are highlighted in pink.
Spacing rules between BCCHs, TCHs, or between a BCCH and a TCH of one cell Each cell has only one BCCH, and therefore no spacing rules are required between BCCHs of one cell. The space is 0 by default, that is, no restriction exists. For example, the space between TCHs of one cell is set to 2. If the TCHs of the selected measurement cell are 27, 51, and 61, the TCH of this cell should not be 26, 28, 50, 52, 60, or 62. If these ARFCNs are present in the candidate TCHs, the information about these ARFCNs are highlighted in red.

GSM Uplink Interference Analysis
About This Chapter

This describes the GSM uplink interference analysis. The GSM uplink interference analysis involves the management and query of GSM uplink interference analysis tasks. The Nastar measures the uplink levels. By checking the analysis results, you can know the strength of the measured frequencies received in a certain cell and choose a proper frequency to be used. 11.1 Basic Knowledge of GSM Uplink Interference Analysis This describes the GSM uplink interference analysis. The GSM uplink interference analysis function is used to analyze the diverse average interference strength and main average interference strength of uplink levels. In the network planning, this function enables the network planners to look for the frequency resources that are not interfered on the network. In the network optimization, this function enables the network planners to look for the frequency resources with better quality for the cells with interference sources according to the analysis of the measurement results. In the network monitoring, this function can be used to monitor the interference levels of the network. 11.2 Procedure for Using GSM Uplink Interference Analysis This describes the process of GSM uplink interference analysis. 11.3 Managing GSM Uplink Interference Analysis Tasks This describes how to manage the GSM uplink interference analysis tasks. You can create, modify, delete, suspend, and resume GSM uplink interference analysis tasks.

11.1 Basic Knowledge of GSM Uplink Interference Analysis

This describes the GSM uplink interference analysis. The GSM uplink interference analysis function is used to analyze the diverse average interference strength and main average interference strength of uplink levels. In the network planning, this function enables the network planners to look for the frequency resources that are not interfered on the network. In the network optimization, this function enables the network planners to look for the frequency resources with better quality for the cells with interference sources according to the analysis of the measurement results. In the network monitoring, this function can be used to monitor the interference levels of the network. The uplink frequency analysis aims at testing uplink levels. The analysis results reflect the strength of the signals received by the measurement cell at the test frequencies. The engineers can select appropriate work frequencies according to the analysis results. The frequency planning of the BSCs is different. The following part describes the frequency planning of the BSC6000. The Huawei BTS can scan the received levels at uplink of all frequencies in the following frequency bands: GSM850 frequency band (869 MHz to 893 MHz), GSM900 frequency band (890 MHz to 915 MHz), GSM1800/PCS1900 frequency band (1805 MHz to 1880 MHz/1930 MHz to 1989 MHz), E-GSM extended frequency band (880 MHz to 890 MHz), and R-GSM extended frequency band (876 MHz to 880 MHz). That is, the Huawei BTS can scan the strength of the interference signals in the frequency bands ranging from 876 MHz to 915 MHz and from 1805 MHz to 1880 MHz. The principles of the frequency analysis for the BTS of the Huawei BTS3X series are as follows: In the case of not affecting normal calls, the uplink frequency analysis function is used to perform the cycling test by using the IDLE frame of a TCH within the measurement cell and scan the received levels at uplink of the specified frequencies (When the BSC allocates this channel, the TCH at the TRX where the BCCH is located is preferred). The TCH channel adopts the structure of 26 multiframes. Each TCH multiframe contains an IDLE frame. The period of the IDLE frame on the TCH channel is 26 multiframes x 0.577 (Burst length) x 8 (TDMA frame) = 120 ms. During the application, each frequency is measured 10 times, and about one minute is spent on measuring 50 frequencies. An uplink interference analysis task records a maximum of 124 measurement frequencies. Thus, about three minutes are spent on measuring these 124 frequencies. After you set the conditions of uplink interference analysis, the Nastar performance analysis system starts to analyze the uplink interference for the selected cells. The analysis results are displayed in histogram mode or in line chart to show the diverse average interference strength and main average interference strength of each frequency at different time and in different colors.

Table 11-1 Process of GSM uplink interference analysis Seria l No. 1 Procedure Querying NE Data Description In the Analysis Task Management window on the Nastar client, you can enter the data query window to query whether the raw data required for the VIP analysis is imported to the database. You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to an uplink frequency scanning task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results.
NOTE If no end-to-end task corresponding to a neighboring cell analysis task is created, first you need to create an end-to-end task corresponding to a neighboring cell analysis task to enable the measurement of all the objects.

Procedure Create an uplink interference analysis task
Description You can create an uplink interference analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required uplink ARFCN scanning data from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can browse the analysis result when the uplink interference analysis task is successfully performed. The system sorts interference signals on the BCCH and TCH frequencies in all cells and determines whether the uplink signal interference exists in some cells, thus providing references for you to select proper operating frequencies.

UMTS Centralized Task Management
About This Chapter

The Nastar provides centralized management for the UMTS timing tasks. By setting UMTS timing tasks, you can collect data from the EMS periodically, save the data as a file in certain path on the Nastar system, and import the data from the file to the database periodically for future query and analysis. In addition, you can delete the data whose storage duration has expired from the database at the preset time to save system resources. By using the function of UMTS centralized task management, you can create, modify, delete, suspend, resume, or cancel a UMTS timing task. In addition, you can view information such as status and progress of a task. 12.1 Basic Knowledge of Centralized Task Management Centralized task management involves the concepts such as types of timing tasks, parameters for task scheduling, and states of timing tasks. Learning the basic knowledge of the centralized task management helps you perform the operations related to the centralized task management. 12.2 Creating a UMTS User-Defined Timing Task The Nastar allows you to create UMTS timing tasks. Thus, you can create UMTS timing tasks by setting common parameters and extended parameters based on the requirements of network maintenance. 12.3 Modifying a UMTS User-Defined Timing Task The Nastar allows you to modify certain parameters of a UMTS user-defined timing task. If the execution of a UMTS user-defined timing task is complete, you cannot modify the task. 12.4 Modifying a UMTS Data Deletion Task This describes how to modify a UMTS data deletion task. If data is periodically imported to the Nastar database, the database resources may be insufficient. By performing the UMTS data deletion task, the Nastar can delete the data whose storage duration has expired from the database at the preset time to save system resources. A UMTS data deletion task is a system timing task. You can modify only certain parameters of the task. To modify a UMTS data deletion task, you must be a user in the administrator group. If the execution of a UMTS data deletion task is complete, you cannot modify the task. 12.5 Modifying the Task of Backing Up Data This describes how to modify certain information about the system-created task of backing up data. 12.6 Setting the Suspend or Resume Time of a Timing Task
You can set an automatic suspend time or an automatic resume time for a timing task. In this situation, the Nastar automatically suspends the task or resumes the task. 12.7 Viewing Timing Tasks Through the Nastar function of viewing timing tasks, you can view the status of all timing tasks in a centralized manner. This helps you adjust the concerned timing tasks according to actual conditions. 12.8 Reference to the UMTS Centralized Task Management Interface This describes the interface for the UMTS centralized task management and related information such as the parameters used in the centralized task management. This help you understand the functions of the UMTS centralized task management.

UMTS Uplink Interference Analysis
About This Chapter

UMTS uplink-interference analysis involves managing uplink-interference analysis tasks and querying UMTS uplink-interference analysis reports. The system analyzes the received total wideband power (RTWP) data that is sent by the NodeB. It initially locates the interfered base station by using the interference ranking function. Then, you can analyze whether the values of the main and diversity antennas are correct based on the overall RTWP trend of the selected cell. In this way, you can determine the interference features. You can also determine whether the main and diversity antenna are connected contrarily by browsing the distribution chart of the differences between the RTWPs of the main and diversity antennas. 13.1 Basic Knowledge of UMTS Uplink-Interference Analysis The UMTS uplink-interference analysis function is performed to analyze the RTWP data reported by NodeBs. Based on uplink-interference analysis results, you can determine whether the carriers on the existing network are experiencing interference. You can also locate antenna feeder problems by analyzing the signal strength of the main and diversity antennas of the uplink. 13.2 Process of UMTS Uplink-Interference Analysis This describes the process of UMTS uplink-interference analysis. 13.3 Managing UMTS Uplink Interference Analysis Tasks This describes how to manage UMTS uplink-interference analysis tasks. You can create, modify, delete, suspend, and resume UMTS uplink-interference analysis tasks. You can also view the status and execution progress of a task. 13.4 Querying a UMTS Uplink Interference Analysis Report This describes how to query the UMTS uplink-interference analysis report. You can query the RTWP data reported by the NodeB and initially locate the BTS that is interfered. Then, you can analyze whether the values of the main and diversity antennas are correct based on the overall RTWP trend of the selected cell. In this way, you can determine the interference features. You can also determine whether the main and diversity antenna are connected contrarily by browsing the distribution chart of the differences between the RTWPs of the main and diversity antennas. 13.5 Reference for the UMTS Uplink Interference Analysis GUI This describes the interface for UMTS uplink-interference analysis and the relevant parameters. Before performing relevant operations, familiarize yourself with the functions of UMTS uplinkinterference analysis.
13.1 Basic Knowledge of UMTS Uplink-Interference Analysis

The UMTS uplink-interference analysis function is performed to analyze the RTWP data reported by NodeBs. Based on uplink-interference analysis results, you can determine whether the carriers on the existing network are experiencing interference. You can also locate antenna feeder problems by analyzing the signal strength of the main and diversity antennas of the uplink. Uplink interference is a key factor that affects the QoS of networks with respect to the following aspects: conversation quality, call drop, handover, congestion, network coverage, and network capacity. If interference and load cannot be distinguished, load control cannot work properly. The uplink-interference analysis function is applicable to the RTWP data reported by NodeBs. Through the uplink-interference-ranking function, you can locate the NodeB experiencing interference initially. Then, by checking the overall RTWP trend of the selected cell, you can analyze whether the values of the main and diversity antennas are correct. In this way, you can determine the interference features. You can also determine whether the main and diversity antenna are connected contrarily by browsing the distribution chart of the differences between the RTWPs of the main and diversity antennas. After the conditions for uplink-interference analysis are set, the Nastar performs uplinkinterference analysis on the selected cells. The analysis results are displayed in a line chart. The chart displays the values of the main and diversity antennas of each cell at each time point in different colors and shows overall RTWP trend and detailed trend of the selected cell.

Table 13-1 describes the items listed in Figure 13-1. Table 13-1 Description of the workflow of uplink-interference analysis No. 1 Procedure Querying NE Data Description In the Analysis Task Management window on the Nastar client, you can enter the data query window to query whether the raw data required for the VIP analysis is imported to the database. You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to an uplinkinterference analysis task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results. When you create an E2E task, the Nastar will automatically create a data collection task.

Procedure Create an uplinkinterference analysis task
Description You can create an uplink-interference analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required configuration data and RTWP data from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can view the analysis results of the uplink-interference analysis task that is successfully performed and initially locate the BTS that experiences interference. You can analyze whether the values of the main and diversity antennas are correct based on the overall RTWP trend and detailed trend of the selected cell. In this way, you can determine the interference features. You can also determine whether the main and diversity antenna are connected contrarily by browsing the distribution chart of the differences between the RTWPs of the main and diversity antennas.

14.1 Basic Knowledge of UMTS Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis

This provides the basic knowledge of the UMTS co-frequency neighboring cell analysis, such as the neighboring cell analysis functions, application scenarios, and algorithms for the neighboring cell analysis. The basic knowledge helps you perform the operations related to the UMTS co-frequency neighboring cell analysis. 14.1.1 UMTS Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Function The MRs of UEs reflect the actual propagation status of radio signals. Based on the MRs and events reported by UEs, the Nastar can determine the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and the neighboring-cell priorities that need to be adjusted of a measurement cell. If this information exists, the system displays the information. This helps you to solve the problems relating to the network quality that are caused by redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration, or by incorrect priority. 14.1.2 UMTS Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Algorithms This describes the algorithms related to the analysis of UMTS co-frequency neighboring cells. The algorithms help determine the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and recommended priorities of neighboring cells.
14.1.1 UMTS Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Function

The MRs of UEs reflect the actual propagation status of radio signals. Based on the MRs and events reported by UEs, the Nastar can determine the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and the neighboring-cell priorities that need to be adjusted of a measurement cell. If this information exists, the system displays the information. This helps you to solve the problems relating to the network quality that are caused by redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration, or by incorrect priority.

Correct neighboring relations ensure that UEs located at the service boundary of a cell can be timely switched to the neighboring cell that has optimal signals. In this case, the handover gain can be obtained and internal interference of the network can be reduced. Thus, QoS and performance of the network are enhanced. Using the configuration data and engineering parameters, the Nastar can analyze the neighboring cells of a selected cell on the basis of the MRs and events reported by a UE. Based on the measurement data, the Nastar can determine the missing and redundant neighboring cells and the neighboring cell priorities that need to be adjusted of the selected cell. In addition, the system can sequence the recommended priorities of the neighboring cells. By comparing the recommended priorities and the actually configured priorities, you can adjust the final priorities of the neighboring cells on the Nastar client. The Nastar displays results in a line or bar chart. It displays the neighboring cells of different types in different colors and the sequence of finally ascertained priorities. You can export the neighboring cell analysis results as a file in .csv or .xls format. Then, you can refer to this file when optimizing the neighboring relations. In measurement results, undefined neighboring cells are identified first by frequencies and primary scrambling codes (PSCs). On the network, cells that have the same frequency and same
PSC may exist around a best cell. You need to predict the signal strength based on the site location, antenna azimuth, and antenna gain of these cells and then determine the possible neighboring cells. In addition, you need to export the analysis report on the possible neighboring cells through the Nastar client.
Limitation and Impact

The accuracy of neighboring cell analysis results may be affected in the following cases:
l l
Engineering parameters are incorrect. The network is not stable during the data collection for neighboring cell analysis. For example, the air interface parameters or the network topology is not stable. Table 14-1 describes the network changes and their impacts.
Table 14-1 Network changes and their impacts Network Change Adding or deleting BTSs Antenna data changes such as the changes of the azimuth, tilt angle, and height Change of handover parameters Change of the RNC topology or other topologies Impact Affects the cell handover and network coverage. In this case, the analysis result cannot correctly reflect the current network status. Results in the changes of the cell coverage and network interference.
Affects the statistical results during the period of collecting and optimizing the neighboring relation data. Affects the execution of measurement tasks. The RNC is responsible for collecting statistical results. Thus, measurement tasks cannot be normally performed if the network topology is changed. You are advised to keep the network topology unchanged during the data collection.
NOTE
The Nastar can only be used for measuring and analyzing the UMTS co-frequency neighboring cells in the case of soft handover or softer handover.
14.1.2 UMTS Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Algorithms

This describes the algorithms related to the analysis of UMTS co-frequency neighboring cells. The algorithms help determine the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and recommended priorities of neighboring cells. The neighboring cell analysis algorithms are the basis for determining the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and recommended priorities of neighboring cells.
l
The algorithm for calculating the recommended priority of a neighboring cell is as follows: 1. Calculate the overall score of a neighboring cell. The overall score of a neighboring cell is determined together by the appearance times of the neighboring cell, the relative difference between the Ec/No of the neighboring
14-4
Issue 06 (2010-08-18)
cell and the Ec/No of the best cell, and the absolute difference between the Ec/No of the neighboring cell and the Ec/No of the best cell. 2. Sequence the total scores in descending order. The higher the total score is, the higher the recommended priority is. The recommended highest priority is 0.
l
The algorithm for determining a missing neighboring cell is as follows: In the case of an undefined neighboring cell, if the recommended priority of the neighboring cell is smaller than the recommended number of neighboring cells, you can infer that the neighboring cell is a missing neighboring cell.
The algorithm for determining a redundant neighboring cell is as follows: In the case of a defined neighboring cell, if the recommended priority of the neighboring cell is not smaller than the recommended number of neighboring cells, you can infer that the neighboring cell is a redundant neighboring cell.
14.2 Process of UMTS Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis

Table 14-2 describes the items listed in Figure 14-1. Table 14-2 Description of the workflow of co-frequency neighboring cell analysis No. 1 Procedure Querying NE Data Description In the Analysis Task Management window on the Nastar client, you can enter the data query window to query whether the raw data required for the VIP analysis is imported to the database. You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to a cofrequency neighboring cell analysis task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results. When you create an E2E task, the Nastar will automatically create a data collection task. 3 Create a cofrequency neighboring cell analysis task You can create a co-frequency neighboring cell analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required measurement reports from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can view the analysis results of the co-frequency neighboring cell analysis task that is successfully performed, configure missing neighboring cells, delete redundant neighboring cells, and adjust neighboring cell priorities. You can export a complaint assistant analysis report from the Nastar.

About This Chapter
UMTS Coverage Analysis
UMTS coverage analysis involves managing UMTS coverage analysis tasks, querying UMTS coverage analysis reports, and exporting UMTS coverage analysis reports. The Nastar analyzes the MRs sent by a UE and directly displays the information about coverage status, signal quality, and user distribution of the measurement cell through the GUI. It helps you to quickly locate the problems such as weak cell coverage, cross coverage, and poor QoS on the radio network. 15.1 Basic Knowledge of UMTS Coverage Analysis The UMTS coverage analysis function enables you to analyze the MR sent by a UE. The analysis results help you to check the coverage status of the measurement cell on the network and determine whether problems such as weak cell coverage, cross coverage, and poor QoS occur on the network. 15.2 Process of UMTS Coverage Analysis This describes the process of UMTS coverage analysis. 15.3 Managing a UMTS Coverage Analysis Task This describes how to manage UMTS coverage analysis tasks. You can create, modify, delete, suspend, and resume a UMTS coverage analysis task. You can also view the status and execution progress of such a task. 15.4 Querying a UMTS Coverage Analysis Report This describes how to query a UTMS coverage analysis report. You can query the MRs sent by a UE in a time segment. The query results help you to check the coverage status of the measurement cell on the network and determine whether problems such as weak cell coverage, cross coverage, and poor QoS occur on the network. 15.5 Exporting a UMTS Coverage Analysis Report This describes how to export a UMTS coverage analysis report and how to export a UMTS coverage analysis original data. After querying coverage analysis results, you can export the found analysis results as .csv files. Based on the exported analysis results, you can determine the coverage of the measurement cells on the network.

15.1 Basic Knowledge of UMTS Coverage Analysis

The UMTS coverage analysis function enables you to analyze the MR sent by a UE. The analysis results help you to check the coverage status of the measurement cell on the network and determine whether problems such as weak cell coverage, cross coverage, and poor QoS occur on the network. The MR sent by an UE consists of downlink RSCP and Ec/No, and the TP when the UE is connected. After you specify the conditions for coverage analysis, the Nastar analyzes the coverage of the selected cell and then displays the analysis results in a two-dimensional chart, a threedimensional chart, and a table.
l
The two-dimensional chart displays the AMR(Adaptive MultiRate), VP(Video Phone), BE (Backround Interactive), AMR+BE, and OTHER services. For each service, three counters, namely, RSCP_DL, Ec/No_DL, and TP counters. The three-dimensional chart displays the PS(Packet Switched) and CS(Circuit Switching) services. For each service, three counters, namely, RSCP_DL, Ec/No_DL, and TP, are involved. The summary table displays the statistics on the counters that correspond to the services in the two-dimensional chart.
The analysis results can be exported as a .csv file. You can optimize the cell coverage based on the analysis results.

Table 15-1 Description of the workflow of coverage analysis No. 1 Procedure Querying NE Data Description In the Analysis Task Management window on the Nastar client, you can enter the data query window to query whether the raw data required for the VIP analysis is imported to the database. You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to a coverage analysis task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results. When you create an E2E task, the Nastar will automatically create a data collection task.

CDMA Centralized Task Management
About This Chapter

The Nastar provides centralized management for the CDMA timing tasks. By setting CDMA timing tasks, you can collect data from the EMS periodically, save the data as a file in certain path on the Nastar system, and import the data from the file to the database periodically for future reference. In addition, you can delete the data whose storage duration has expired from the database at the preset time to save resource space of the system. By using the function of CDMA centralized task management, you can create, modify, delete, suspend, resume, or cancel a CDMA timing task. In addition, you can view information such as status and progress of a task. 16.1 Basic Knowledge of Centralized Task Management Centralized task management involves the concepts such as types of timing tasks, parameters for task scheduling, and states of timing tasks. Learning the basic knowledge of the centralized task management helps you perform the operations related to the centralized task management. 16.2 Creating a CDMA User-Defined Timing Task The Nastar allows you to create CDMA timing tasks.

CDMA Uplink Interference Analysis
About This Chapter

CDMA uplink interference analysis consists of uplink-interference-ranking analysis and uplinkinterference-spectrum analysis. By using the uplink-interference-ranking analysis function, you can know the overall interference status of the selected carrier. This helps you to check whether any external interference exists on the network. If a carrier has external interference, you can enable the Nastar to display the relevant spectrum data in a chart by using the uplink-interferencespectrum analysis function. Thus, you can check the interference features. 17.1 Basic Knowledge of CDMA Uplink-Interference Analysis The CDMA uplink-interference analysis function is performed to analyze the uplink level measurement data reported by BTSs. The analysis is classified into two types: uplinkinterference-ranking analysis and uplink-interference-spectrum analysis. Based on uplinkinterference-ranking analysis results, you can determine whether the carriers on a network are experiencing external interference. The distribution chart of the difference between the RSSIs of the main and diversity antennas of the uplink can help you to locate antenna feeder problems. If any carrier is experiencing external interference, the network optimization engineers can perform the uplink-interference-spectrum analysis function to analyze the spectrum and period of the external interference. As a result, interference problems can be located quickly. 17.2 Process of CDMA Uplink Interference Analysis This describes the process of CDMA uplink interference analysis. 17.3 Managing CDMA Uplink Interference Analysis Tasks This describes how to manage CDMA uplink interference analysis tasks. You can create, modify, delete, suspend, and resume CDMA uplink interference analysis tasks. You can also view the status and execution progress of a task. 17.4 Querying the CDMA Uplink-Interference-Ranking Analysis Report This describes how to query the CDMA uplink-interference-ranking analysis report. By querying the CDMA uplink-interference-ranking analysis report, you can analyze the uplink-level measurement data reported by the BTS during a time segment, obtain the RSSIs of the main and diversity antennas and the number of concurrent users of the selected carriers during a time range, and learn about the trends of the RSSIs and the number of concurrent users. The Nastar ranks the selected carriers according to the query result and then helps you to determine whether any external interference exists on the network. 17.5 Querying the CDMA Uplink-Interference-Spectrum Analysis Report
This describes how to query the CDMA uplink-interference-spectrum analysis task. By querying the CDMA uplink-interference-spectrum analysis task, you can analyze the scanning data (reported by the BTS) about 10 MHz or 20 MHz bands and enables the Nastar to display the distribution and trend of the spectrum data in charts. Then, you can analyze the spectral and periodical features of the external interference to quickly locate interference-related problems. 17.6 Reference for the CDMA Uplink Interference Analysis GUI This describes the interface for CDMA uplink-interference analysis and the relevant parameters.

17.1 Basic Knowledge of CDMA Uplink-Interference Analysis

The CDMA uplink-interference analysis function is performed to analyze the uplink level measurement data reported by BTSs. The analysis is classified into two types: uplinkinterference-ranking analysis and uplink-interference-spectrum analysis. Based on uplinkinterference-ranking analysis results, you can determine whether the carriers on a network are experiencing external interference. The distribution chart of the difference between the RSSIs of the main and diversity antennas of the uplink can help you to locate antenna feeder problems. If any carrier is experiencing external interference, the network optimization engineers can perform the uplink-interference-spectrum analysis function to analyze the spectrum and period of the external interference. As a result, interference problems can be located quickly. Uplink interference is a key factor that affects the QoS of networks with respect to the following aspects: conversation quality, call drop, handover, congestion, network coverage, and network capacity. If interference and load cannot be distinguished, load control cannot work properly. After the conditions for uplink-interference-ranking analysis are set, the Nastar performs uplinkinterference-ranking analysis on the selected carriers. The analysis results are displayed in a line chart. The chart displays the values and trends of the RSSIs of the main and diversity antennas and the number of subscribers of each carrier in different colors. After the conditions for uplink-interference-spectrum analysis are set, the Nastar performs uplink-interference-spectrum analysis on the selected carriers. The analysis results are displayed in a line chart. In the chart, the average interference strength of all the frequency sampling points of each carrier in a time segment is displayed in a color. In addition, the values and trends of the RSSIs of the main and diversity antennas of each sampling frequency point at each time point within a selected time segment are displayed in different colors.

Table 17-1 Description of the workflow of uplink interference analysis No. 1 Procedure Querying NE Data Description In the Analysis Task Management window on the Nastar client, you can enter the data query window to query whether the raw data required for the VIP analysis is imported to the database. You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to an uplink interference analysis task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results. When you create an E2E task, the Nastar will automatically create a data collection task. 3 Create an uplinkinterferenceranking analysis task You can create an uplink-interference-ranking analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required uplink spectrum scanning log, uplink RSSI measurement data, and configuration data from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can view the analysis results of the uplink-interferenceranking analysis task that is successfully performed. In addition, you can query the RSSIs of the main and diversity antennas of the selected test carrier on the network, the number of subscribers, and the trend of subscribers. The Nastar ranks the selected carriers according to the query result and thus helps you to determine whether any external interference exists on the network. You can create an uplink-interference-spectrum analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required uplink spectrum scanning log, uplink RSSI measurement data, and configuration data from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can view the analysis results of the uplink-interferencespectrum analysis task that is successfully performed. The Nastar analyzes the scanning data about 10 MHz or 20 MHz bands in the database at a preset time and displays the distribution and trend of the spectrum data in charts. Based on the information, you can analyze the spectral and periodical features of the external interference to quickly locate interference-related problems.

CDMA Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis
About This Chapter

This describes the CDMA co-frequency neighboring cell analysis. The CDMA co-frequency neighboring cell analysis function enables you to manage neighboring cell analysis tasks, check CDMA neighboring cell analysis reports, and export the CDMA neighboring cell analysis reports. Based on the configuration data and the engineering parameters, the Nastar analyzes the Pilot Strength Measurement Message (PSMM)/Route Update message (RU) reported by UEs on the network to check for the redundant and missing neighboring cell configuration of a measurement cell and the priorities that need to be adjusted. If this information exists, the system displays the information. This helps you to solve the problems relating to the network quality that are caused by redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration, or by incorrect priority. 18.1 Basic Knowledge of CDMA Neighboring Cell Analysis This provides the basic knowledge of the CDMA neighboring cell analysis, such as the neighboring cell analysis functions, application scenarios, and algorithms for the neighboring cell analysis. The basic knowledge helps you perform the operations related to the CDMA neighboring cell analysis. 18.2 Process of CDMA Co-Frequency Neighboring-Cell Analysis This describes the process of CDMA co-frequency neighboring-cell analysis. 18.3 Managing CDMA Neighboring Cell Analysis Tasks This describes how to manage CDMA neighboring cell analysis tasks. You can create, modify, delete, suspend, and resume CDMA neighboring cell analysis tasks. You can also view the status and execution progress of the tasks. 18.4 Query a CDMA Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Report The Nastar provides the function of querying CDMA co-frequency neighboring cell analysis reports. You can query the missing and redundant neighboring cells and the neighboring cell priorities that need to be adjusted of a test carrier. Then, you can configure the missing neighboring cells, delete the redundant cells, and adjust the neighboring cell priorities based on the query results. 18.5 Exporting a CDMA Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Report This describes how to export a CDMA co-frequency neighboring cell analysis report. After querying the co-frequency neighboring cell analysis results, you can export the found analysis
results and save them in .csv files or .xls files or export the found analysis results as MML scripts. Based on the exported analysis results or generated MML scripts, you can configure neighboring relations on the network to optimize the neighboring relations between the carriers on the network. 18.6 Reference for the CDMA Neighboring Cell Analysis GUI This describes the interface for CDMA neighboring cell analysis and the relevant parameters.

18.1 Basic Knowledge of CDMA Neighboring Cell Analysis

This provides the basic knowledge of the CDMA neighboring cell analysis, such as the neighboring cell analysis functions, application scenarios, and algorithms for the neighboring cell analysis. The basic knowledge helps you perform the operations related to the CDMA neighboring cell analysis. 18.1.1 CDMA Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Functions The MRs of MSs reflect the actual propagation status of radio signals. By using the CDMA cofrequency neighboring cell analysis functions, the Nastar can summarize and analyze the PSMM/ RU messages reported by MSs on the network to check for the redundant and missing neighboring cell configuration of a test carrier and to check for the priorities that need to be adjusted. If this information exists, the system displays the information. This helps you to solve the problems relating to the network quality that are caused by redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration, or by incorrect priority. 18.1.2 CDMA Neighboring Cell Analysis Algorithms This describes the algorithms related to the analysis of CDMA co-frequency neighboring cells. The algorithms help determine the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and recommended priorities of neighboring cells.
18.1.1 CDMA Co-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis Functions

The MRs of MSs reflect the actual propagation status of radio signals. By using the CDMA cofrequency neighboring cell analysis functions, the Nastar can summarize and analyze the PSMM/ RU messages reported by MSs on the network to check for the redundant and missing neighboring cell configuration of a test carrier and to check for the priorities that need to be adjusted. If this information exists, the system displays the information. This helps you to solve the problems relating to the network quality that are caused by redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration, or by incorrect priority.

When an overlapped coverage area with strong signals exists between sectors, handovers may occur between the sectors. In this case, you need to configure neighboring relations. Correct neighboring relations ensure that MSs located at the service boundary of a cell can be switched in time to the neighboring cell that has optimal signals. In this case, handover gains can be obtained and the transmit power of the terminals on the network can be reduced. Thus, QoS and performance of the network are enhanced. Using the configuration data and engineering parameters, the Nastar can analyze the neighboring cells of a selected carrier on the basis of the PSMM/RU messages reported by a MS. By collecting weighted statistics based on handover relations, the Nastar can determine the redundant and missing neighboring cell configuration of a test carrier and the priorities that need to be adjusted. In addition, the Nastar can sequence the recommended priorities of the neighboring cells. By comparing the recommended priorities and the actually configured priorities, you can adjust the final priorities of the neighboring cells on the Nastar client. The Nastar displays results in line or bar chart. It displays both the neighboring cells of different types and the sequence of finally ascertained priorities in different colors. The results of neighboring cell analysis can be exported as a file in .csv or .xls format or be used to generate a script that can be directly used for the network. You can configure neighboring
relations based on the exported file or the generated script to optimize the neighboring relations of the carrier on the network. In measurement results, undefined neighboring cells are identified first by frequencies and pseudo number (PN). On the network, cells that have the same frequency and same PN may exist around a best cell. You need to predict the signal strength based on the site location, antenna azimuth, and antenna gain of these cells and then determine the possible neighboring cells. In addition, you need to export the analysis report on the possible neighboring cells through the Nastar client.
Limitation and Impact

The PSMM message may fail to meet the requirements due to improper PN planning of the existing network, incorrect site configuration and installation, or impacts of geographical locations. Thus, the accuracy of neighboring cell optimization results is affected. In this case, you need to manually confirm or adjust the optimization results (especially at the BSC boundary area or the area where different network modes are adopted) based on the results of neighboring cell analysis. Here, network modes can be GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA. The accuracy of neighboring cell analysis results may be affected in the following cases:
l l
Engineering parameters are incorrect. The air interface parameters during data collection for neighboring cell analysis are not stable. PN-related problems occur. For example, the reuse distance of a same or near PN is excessively short, neighboring cells of the same PN are incorrectly configured, or the PN Oneway/Twoway problem occurs. Neighboring cell data of less than three days (seven days are recommended) is collected.
NOTE
The Nastar can only be used for measuring and analyzing the CDMA co-frequency neighboring cells in the case of soft handover or softer handover.
18.1.2 CDMA Neighboring Cell Analysis Algorithms

This describes the algorithms related to the analysis of CDMA co-frequency neighboring cells. The algorithms help determine the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and recommended priorities of neighboring cells. The neighboring cell analysis algorithms are the basis for determining the missing neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and recommended priorities of neighboring cells.
l
The algorithm for calculating the recommended priority of a neighboring cell is as follows: 1. Calculate the weighted value of the neighboring cell. The overall score of a neighboring cell is determined together by the appearance times of the neighboring cell, the relative difference between the Ec/Io of the neighboring cell and the Ec/Io of the measurement cell, and the absolute difference between the Ec/Io of the neighboring cell and the Ec/Io of the measurement cell. 2. Sequence the weighted values in descending order. The higher the weighted value is, the higher the priority is. The recommended highest priority is 0. 3. Determine whether the priority of the neighboring cell needs to be adjusted.
18-4
Handovers occur in the neighboring cell. In addition, the neighboring cell is configured in the BAM. When Abs (Recommended priority - Configured priority) 4, you can infer that the priority of the neighboring cell needs to be adjusted.
l
The algorithm for determining a missing neighboring cell is as follows: Handovers occur in the neighboring cell. In addition, the neighboring cell is not configured in the BAM. If the recommended priority of the neighboring cell is smaller than the recommended number of neighboring cells, you can infer that the neighboring cell is a missing neighboring cell.
The algorithm for determining a redundant neighboring cell is as follows: No handover occurs in the neighboring cell. In addition, the neighboring cell is configured in the BAM. If the recommended priority of the neighboring cell is not smaller than the recommended number of neighboring cells, you can infer that the neighboring cell is a redundant neighboring cell.

Table 18-1 describes the items listed in Figure 18-1. Table 18-1 Description of the workflow of co-frequency neighboring-cell analysis No. 1 Procedure Querying NE Data Description In the Analysis Task Management window on the Nastar client, you can enter the data query window to query whether the raw data required for the VIP analysis is imported to the database. You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to a cofrequency neighboring cell analysis task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results. When you create an E2E task, the Nastar will automatically create a data collection task. 3 Create a cofrequency neighboring cell analysis task You can create a co-frequency neighboring cell analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required measurement reports from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can view the analysis results of the co-frequency neighboring-cell analysis task that is successfully performed, configure missing neighboring cells, delete redundant neighboring cells, and adjust neighboring cell priorities. You can export a co-frequency neighboring-cell analysis report from the Nastar.

19.1 Basic Knowledge of CDMA VIP KPI Analysis

The CDMA VIP KPI analysis function enables you to routinely monitor the calls of the selected VIP subscribers on the network. By analyzing the monitor reports, you can learn about the QoS of the VIP subscribers. The CDMA VIP KPI analysis function can also help network engineers to analyze and solve, actively and beforehand, the potential network problems that may affect VIP subscriber services, thus improving the satisfaction of VIP subscribers. You can group VIP subscribers based on the requirements on services so that you can monitor the calls of the VIP subscribers of the same group in a unified manner. The analysis report on the VIP KPIs contains the information about the KPIs such as the 1X voice service, 1X data service, EVDO service, and wireless environment measurement.
19.2 Process of CDMA VIP KPI Analysis

Table 19-1 Description of the workflow of VIP KPI analysis No. 1 Procedure Querying NE Data Description In the Analysis Task Management window on the Nastar client, you can enter the data query window to query whether the raw data required for the VIP analysis is imported to the database. You can choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management on the Nastar client to open the E2E Task Management window, and then create an end-to-end task corresponding to a VIP KPI analysis task. After the task is created, the Nastar issues MML commands to M2000, and then M2000 issues the received MML commands to the corresponding NE. At last, the NE that receives the MML commands performs the measurement task and generates measurement results. When you create an E2E task, the Nastar will automatically create a data collection task. 3 Create a VIP KPI analysis task You can create a VIP KPI analysis task in the Analysis Task Management window of the main interface on the Nastar client. After the task is created, the Nastar periodically obtains the required user call events records from the Nastar database, and then generates an analysis report through the analysis. You can view the analysis results of the VIP KPI analysis task that is successfully performed. The Nastar monitors the KPI reports related to the voice service and data service of VIP subscribers daily. This helps you to learn about the quality of service (QoS) of VIP subscribers. In addition, you can locate and solve the network problems, which may incur complaints, beforehand. You can export a VIP KPI analysis report from the Nastar.

20.1 Basic Knowledge of CDMA Complaint Assistant Analysis

The CDMA complaint assistant analysis function helps you to analyze the subscriber calls that are recorded before and after a complaint and to locate and rectify the fault. This improves the efficiency of handling complaint and increases user satisfaction. You can group the user callevents record (UCER) counters based on the requirements on services so that you can perform analyses based on different service requirements. The compliant assistant analysis function can quickly locate the relevant UCERs before and after a complaint or locate all the UCERs that are related to a faulty cell based on the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), the number of the MS, or the Equipment Serial Number (ESN). The Nastar provides the information about the key event of each call, call path, and MR that is sent before the call is released. By analyzing the information, the Nastar helps you to locate and rectify faults. This improves the efficiency of handling complaint and increases user satisfaction.
