    2.2 Network Data

    There are two possible methods for BSS network configuration data retrieval:

    1. CM Plan Manager interface (depends on availability) to XML format.

    2. Predefined set of SQL queries to CM database to text tab delimited tables.

    BSS network configuration should be retrieved from each OMCR relevant to the optimization area.

    2.2.1 Nokia BSS Network Configuration (Option A XML Format)

    To retrieve the required BSS network configuration files from the Nokia OSS

    1. Go to the CM Plan Manager (usually via Citirix, X-Terminal or OSS workstation)

    2. Go to View Export Actuals or Ctrl+E (see figure 1 below)

    Figure 1: Retrieve the Required BSS Network Configuration Files

    5. Click Select (figure 3 above) to select the location to save the XML file.

    Figure 4: Export Target File

    6. Use the Export button to start the export process.

    2.2.2 Nokia BSS Network Configuration (Option B Queries Format)

    The required BSS network configuration files can be retrieved from the Nokia CM database through running Perl script provided by Schema. This generated output will contain set text files with the BSS network configuration. The script automatically generates SQL queries for retrieval of the required data from Nokias Oracle database as follows:

    1. Open a binary FTP session to the Nokia OSS machine.

    2. Upload the script file NokiaNetConfig.pl to a directory with R/W permissions.

    3. Activate the script by using the following command in Unix:

    > perl NokiaNetConfig.pl

    4. FTP (in binary mode) the 10 newly created text files.

    Note: the Perl script uses a direct connection to the Oracle database. The user will be asked to login and provide a password on starting the process.

    2.2.3 Sector Coordinates File

    The sector coordinates file must be in tab delimited text file format with geographical information for all the sectors in the optimization area and the guard-zone area.

    The file should contain the following columns:

    o Sector

    o Latitude

    o Longitude

    o Azimuth

    The sector name is supposed to be unique per network.

    2.2.4 Traffic File

    The traffic file should be in the format of a tab delimited text file with traffic information for all the sectors in the optimization area and the guard-zone area.

    The file should contain the following columns:

    o Date (in ddmmyyy format)

    o Hour (in hh format)

    o Sector

    o Traffic (carried traffic in Erlang)

    The file should contain traffic information for 5 consecutive working days and should preferably be produced on the last day of the DAC and CF recordings.

    The traffic file can be retrieved from the Nokia PM database by using an SQL query. The required SQL query can be provided by Schema Customer Support. In order to retrieve the traffic data from the Nokia Oracle database, use the following procedure:

    1. Open a binary FTP session to the Nokia OSS machine.

    2. Upload the traffic.sql file to a directory with R/W permissions.

    3. Activate the SQL query by using the following command:

    sqlplus username/password @filename (e.g. sqlplus omc/omc @traffic.sql)

    4. FTP (in binary mode) the newly created text file (traffic.txt).

    2.3 Mobile Measurements Data Recordings

    A network freeze is strongly recommended during the recording time frame.

    The following activities should be halted during data recordings:

    o BSC split

    o Site reparenting (BSC/site relations change)

    o Changes of LAC and CI

    o Site additions

    o Sector mechanical changes such as tilt, azimuth and antenna changes

    o Frequency changes (BCCH and BSIC)

    o Neighbor additions or deletions

    The following changes should be performed only during the maintenance window (not while recording is taking place):

    o TRX additions

    o Frequency changes (TCH)

    All other parameters should not be changed.

    Note: Version of BSC must be S10.5 or later.

    2.3.1 BA List Creation for Data Collection

    The Defined Adjacent Cell and Channel Finder measurements collect signal strength and C/I data that are reported by the mobiles in the MAHO report.

    In order to collect information on BCCH channels that are not in the adjacent cell list, it is necessary to define a new BCCH allocation list, which contains all BCCHs that should be measured, and assign this BA list for each BTS.

    This makes use of the Double BCCH Allocation List feature. This feature provides the mobile the user-defined frequency list for measurements. This user-defined list should contain all BCCH frequencies that belong to the defined neighbors and additional frequencies that should be measured. This will have no impact on handover performance.

    The Ultima Fort Measurement Plan functionality should be used for the collection of reliable data for network modeling. The Measurement Plan functionality provides frequency allocation for each sector BA list.

    2.3.2 CF and DAC Recordings

    CF and DAC recordings should be performed over consecutive working days for the same time frame. The validation of DAC and CF features status is mentioned in the Appendix.

    Use the following MML commands to view the criteria currently defined in the BSC for DAC and CF recordings:

    For CF: ZTPI:MEASUR,CHAN_FIN

    Figure 14: CF Recording

    Schema Confidential & Proprietary page 13 of 22

  • Ultima Fort Required Data Inputs for Nokia Infrastructure

    For DAC: ZTPI:MEASUR,DAC

    Figure 15: DAC Recording

    Use the following MML commands to start/modify the CF and DAC recordings:

    1. ZTPM:MEASUR,CHAN_FIN:ALL,09002100,4:DB1=-12,DB2=0; - defines CF measurements to start at 09:00 and finish at 21:00 daily with 4 hours resolution.

    2. ZTPS:MEASUR,CHAN_FIN; - starts the CF measurement.

    3. ZTPM:MEASUR,DAC:ALL,09002100,4:DB1=-12,DB2=0; - defines the DAC measurement to start at 09:00 and finish at 21:00 daily with 4 hours resolution.

    4. ZTPS:MEASUR,DAC; - starts the measurement.

    Note: The thresholds used for recordings (between class 1, class 2 and class 3 measurements) should be the same thresholds to all sectors and BSCs in the DAC and CF files!

    2.3.3 Retrieving Mobile Measurements Results

    The required mobile measurements results can be retrieved from the Nokia PM database by running Perl script provided by Schema. This generated output will contain set text files with required data. The script automatically generates SQL queries for the data retrieval from the Nokias Oracle database:

    1. Open a binary FTP session to the Nokia OSS machine.

    2. Upload the script file NokiaMS.pl to a directory with R/W permissions.

    3. Activate the script by using the following command in Unix: >perl NokiaMS.pl

    4. FTP (in binary mode) the 3 newly created text files.

    Schema Confidential & Proprietary page 14 of 22

  • Ultima Fort Required Data Inputs for Nokia Infrastructure

    Note: the Perl script uses a direct connection to the Oracle database. The user will be asked to login and provide a password on starting the process.

    The script will generate 3 files for each recording day:

    o CF (Channel Finder measurements)

    o DAC (Defined Adjacent Cell measurements)

    o Rx Statistics (Rxlevel and RxQuality measurements)

    The BSS network configuration files must be retrieved per each day of the mobile measurements recordings as described in section 2.2 above.

    2.3.4 Retrieving Handover Statistics

    For handover optimization purposes the handover statistics per cell-to-cell relation should be collected. The data should be aggregated over one week and provided in a tab delimited text file with the following fields:

    o Serving Sector

    o Target Sector

    o Handover (HO) Attempts

    The required handover statistics file can be retrieved from the Nokia PM database by using an SQL query. The required SQL query will be provided by Schema Customer Support. In order to retrieve handover data from the Nokia Oracle database, use the following procedure:

    8. Open a binary FTP session to the Nokia OSS machine.

    9. Upload the ho_adj.sql file to a directory with R/W permissions.

    10. Activate the SQL files by using the following command: sqlplus username/password @filename (e.g. sqlplus omc/omc @ho_adj.sql)

    11. FTP (in binary mode) the newly created text file (ho.txt).

    The created ho_adj.txt file can be imported directly to Ultima Fort.
