z Important data source for network optimization

z Abnormality locating and fault handlingz Routine data for network management

1.2 Contents and Principles of Traffic Statistics

BSC traffic statistics system consists of the host equipment, BAM (Back Administration

Module) and WS (Work Station). Among them, the work station is the man-machine

interface, a friendly operation interface provided for traffic statistics. The work station of

BSC communicates with BAM as a far end user via OMC server or directly

communicates with BAM as a near end user. The functions provided under both modes

are completely the same.


26/673


1-2

BSC traffic statistics system network architecture is shown in Figure 1-1 and the logic

structure is shown in Figure 1-2. Both OMC Shell and LocalWS are software installed in

WS, and OMC Shell communicates with BAM via OMC Server, while LocalWS

communicates with BAM directly.

Below is the introduction to the functions of each part:

1) WS provides the direct operation interface for the user to register or delete the

traffic measurement tasks or to view the status and result of a task.

2) OMC Server provides the interface to network management centre, and manage

statistic tasks. It gets the data necessary for the traffic statistics from the Host via

the traffic statistics process in BAM.

3) BAM has two functions:

a) The bridge connecting WS and MPU board, via which the traffic statisticscommands from WS is transferred to MPU, and the response of MPU is returned

to WS;

b) The server in the Client/Server network mode, which realizes the management

of statistics tasks (mainly about the storage and transference of traffic statistics

data).

4) Traffic statistics process is actually a service process in charge of receiving and

interpreting the traffic statistics commands from BAM. The result of the interpreting

is the basis for processing and the processing result will be returned back to BAM.


27/673


1-3

The core function of it is to generate statistics from the result of various

measurement indices.

The following is the summary to the above information. User registers tasks at WS. The

commands registering the tasks are sent to the MPU board. When a measurementcycle ends, the MPU automatically sends the measurement results to BAM which will

store the results in the format of Stxxx.res and Stxxx.tsk and in the directory of

\omc\bsc\BAM\appsvr\stats\Data, sends the permanent task result to OMC Server.

OMC Server will save the measurement result in Sybase database to generate the

report at report console. The user can query and print the traffic measurement report

stored in BAM at the WS.

Note:WS consists of several functional modules which provide the operations and maintenance interface for the

user to realize the functions of data configuration, equipment maintenance, fault monitoring, subscriber

management and traffic statistics via this subsystem. It communicates with BAM to realize various

operations and output the corresponding report.

Huawei's OMC adopts the integrated platform, which supports Huawei's GSM serial products access to

provide unified performance management, configuration management and fault management. The

operation and maintenance of multiple NEs can be implemented at the same terminal.

BAM fulfils the following functions:

z Background administration: data configuration of BSC, maintenance control of board, alarm

handling, traffic statistics, data backup etc;

z Save the converted data and send the operation instruction to MPU;

z Connection between equipment and user: receiving the commissioning, alarm of equipment and

notifying the user via LMT (WS).

For information related to traffic statistics of OMC Report, refer to the system operation part in

M900/M1800 Operations and Maintenance Center User Manual V4.0.

1.3 Concept of Traffic Statistics

1.3.1 Traffic Statistics Task

The core of traffic statistics is traffic statistics (measurement) task and traffic statistics

(measurement) result. User can "subscribe" to the necessary traffic statistics data. The

subscribed information makes up the traffic task. The system will implement the related

measurement according to the measurement task information and report the task

result.


28/673


1-4

A measurement task is made up of three elements: statistics time, statistics object,

statistics item (index). For details of these properties, refer to 1.3.2 Index Property,

1.3.3 Task Object Property and 1.3.4 Task Time Property.

Besides, in the whole statistics procedure of the task, there is a series of status from

"not started" to "ended", which will be detailed in 1.3.5 Measurement task status.

1.3.2 Index Property

I. Definition

Task index is the type of information to be "subscribed to" during the process of

measurement. The process of data collection, data record and data supervision during

the measurement is actually the process of management over the task indices.

The traffic statistics indices of BSC can be classified into initial index, pre-definition

index and customized index. The initial index is the basic unit of system index. The

pre-definition index is calculated from the initial index. The above two are the

self-contained indices of system. In addition, to satisfy the user's special requirements,

BSC also supports customized index function. Customized index is created by

combining initial index and pre-definition index in arithmetic principle according to the

actual requirement. The usage of these indices is same as initial index and

pre-definition index.

II. Organization mode

Since a traffic statistics system contains many statistics indices, for the convenience of

management and usage over these indices, the tree organization structure comprises

three stages. The first stage is Statistic Function Type, the second stage is Measure

Type and the third stage is Statistic Item.

Statistic Items are classified as a Measure Type. The Measurement types with similar

meanings are classified as a Statistic Function Type.

z Statistic Function Type

The set of several measurement types with some identical properties. Each

statistics function type describes a certain aspect of BSC equipment, such as

A-interface Operation and Management Statistic, CPU Measurement Function,

etc.

z Measure Type

Measurement type is the set of several related statistics indices of a measurement

object. It reflects the entire profile of the object. For example: Inter-cell Handover

Measurement Function describes the information of inter-cell handover.

z Statistic Item


29/673


1-5

It is the basic unit for measurement task to perform data statistics.

1.3.3 Task Object Property

The measurement object is various physical, logical entities or their combinations

measured. For example, to measure the TCH availability of a cell, this cell is a

measurement object. For the convenience of management and utilization, system

adopts the layered structure of Statistic Function Type Object Definition to decide a

measurement object.

1.3.4 Task Time Property

Time property includes parameters such as task type, time type, measurement cycle

and measurement time segment, etc. The management of measurement time can be

realized in the following three levels: time type, measurement time segment and

measurement cycle, as shown in Figure 1-3:

0:00 24:00

Time type

cycle

Date Date Date Date Date DateDate Date

Figure 1-3Basic time type

1) Task type

Measurement tasks can be classified into permanent task, semi-permanent task and

limited period task.

z Permanent task

Permanent task is automatically registered from the moment system is started. It

is for measuring the important performance index, and generates reports

according to the requirement of the carrier. User cannot delete this type of tasks,

i.e. from the moment equipment is started, this task is carried out all the time

unless suspended;

z Semi-permanent task

Semi-permanent task is registered by the user and has no end time. It will keep

running unless deleted or suspended. For example, if a BSC measurement task is


30/673


1-6

created on 2002/1/1, started on 2002/1/1 without a termination, this task is a

semi-permanent task.

z Limited period task

Limited period task is registered by the user. It has an end time configured. When

the end time comes, the measurement is automatically terminated. For example,

the task temporarily measuring the TCH congestion rate can be set as the limited

period task.

2) Time type

There are three types: statistics by day, statistics by week and statistics by month.

They define the periodical operation mode of the task during its operation.

Statistics by day means that the task is carried out every day. Statistics by week

means that the task is carried out on the specified day of each week. For example,

a user can select Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week to implement the

task. Statistics by month means that the task is carried out on the specified day of

each month. For example, a user can select the 1st, 5

thand 13

thof each month to

carry out the task. No matter in which mode, the task will be carried out during the

time decided together by measurement time segment and measurement cycle.

3) Measurement time segment

A day can be divided into at most three time segments in this system. The task is

only carried out in the time segment according to the configured measurement

cycle, and is terminated during the time between time segments. The range of

time segments cannot overlap. The daily operation time is decided together by the

measurement time segment and measurement cycle.

z From 00:00 of each day to 00:00 of the next day;

z For 1~3 discontinuous time segments, each one is started at a certain time

point (accuracy of minute) and carried out continuously for k measurement

cycles.

4) Measurement cycle

Measurement cycle is the sampling period of the measurement task. BSC traffic

management supports the measurement cycle of 15~1440 minutes.

z The duration with one minute as the unit. Upper limit is 24 hours.

z The default period is 30 minutes.

1.3.5 Measurement task status

A measurement task may be in various statuses in its life cycle: not started, activated,

suspended and complete.

z Not started

The current time of system is earlier than the start time of the task, i.e. the task is

not started yet.

z Activated

The current time of system is between the start time and end time of the task, i.e.

the task is being carried out.

z Suspended

When a task is temporarily not needed, it can be suspended. In this case, this task

will no longer provide measurement result. When it is necessary again, it can be

reactivated, and the measurement resumes. If a task is suspended, it cannot be

modified.

z Complete

The current time of system is or is later than the end time, i.e. the task is finished.

It is also called "terminated".

The process of measurement task change is shown in Figure 1-4.

z Permanent task can be in activated or suspended status;

z Semi-permanent task can be in not started, activated or suspended status;

z Limited period task can be in any status.

1.4 Feature of Traffic Statistics

The traffic statistics console of BSC, as a man-machine interface, supports the graphic

interface operation mode. It provides functions of task management, template

management and customized index management. Below are the details of these

functions.

I. Task management

The task management of traffic statistics includes creating/modifying/deleting

measurement task, activating/suspending measurement task, querying measurement

task information and querying task status, etc. For detailed operation of task

management, see "Chapter 2 Basic Operation". This chapter mainly introduces the

global features.

1) Creating task

Measurement indices are organized and managed according to measurement

type. But the user may also need to measure the indices reflecting the same

service function in the same task and have the combined output (especially when

generating the traffic statistics report). BSC supports selecting the measurement

indices from multiple measurement types.

2) Modifying task

There are three types of task modifications:

z Dynamic modification of task name

z Dynamic modification of task configuration information

z Dynamic modification of task object
