1.4 LTE Coverage Analysis


LTE coverage analysis involves managing LTE coverage analysis tasks, querying LTE coverage analysis reports, and exporting LTE 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.

1.4.1 Basic Knowledge of LTE Coverage Analysis


The LTE coverage analysis function enables the Nastar to analyze the MRs sent by UEs, measurement information reported by eNodeBs, and related events in important call records. 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.
Issue 01 (2011-08-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 40

Nastar Network Optimization User Guide (LTE)

1 LTE Network Optimization

The coverage analysis data is as follows: l l Downlink RSCP and RSRQ that are contained in the MRs reported by UEs. Information about the indicators such as UE TxPower,Timing Advance (TA), and number of uplink and downlink retransmissions collected and processed by the eNodeB.UE TxPower is converted from the Power Headroom (PH) reported by UEs. Key events including call setup, access failure, call drops, call reestablishment, and IRAT handover.

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 (2D) chart and a table. l On the 2D Chart tab page, the following charts are displayed: charts of indicator distribution in PDF and CDF mode (the indicators include TA, RSRP, RSRQ, and UE TxPower), charts of average indicator value and TA distribution (the indicators include RSRP, RSRQ, and UE TxPower), charts of number of key events and TA distribution (the key events include call setup, access failure, call drops, call reestablishment, IRAT handover, and uplink/ downlink retransmission). In the overview table, the statistics of all service indicators such as TA, RSRP, RSRQ, and UE TxPower are displayed in two-dimensional charts.

The analysis results can be exported as a .csv, .xls, or .xlsx file. You can optimize the cell coverage based on the analysis results.

This section describes how to create a data import task. The Nastar periodically imports the analysis data such as the performance data, VIP analysis data, and cell performance analysis data on the Nastar server into the database to perform various theme analysis tasks.

Prerequisite
You have logged in to the Nastar client.

Context
l l A data import task is a user-defined scheduled task. You can create only one user-defined scheduled task of the same type. The data import task can only be executed periodically. The unit of the task execution period can be Hour, Day, Week, or Month. The data import task of the same type can only be created once on the Nastar. After the task is created, the Nastar automatically imports data at the preset time. A data import task can be performed only after the related data collection task is complete (if the data collection task running type is period, only after the first period). Otherwise, the integrity of the imported data may be affected. You need to create data import tasks of different types based on the type of an analysis task. Table 1-13 shows the mapping between analysis task types and types of data import tasks.

1.6 LTE VIP Analysis


This section describes the LTE VIP analysis, including the management of VIP analysis tasks and the query and export of VIP analysis reports. By monitoring the KPIs related to the QoS of the VIP subscribers, the Nastar enables you to identify and solve the network problems that may cause VIP subscriber complaints. This helps provide good services to VIP subscribers and improve satisfaction of VIP subscribers.

1.6.1 Basic Knowledge of LTE VIP Analysis


This section describes the basic knowledge of LTE VIP analysis, including LTE VIP analysis function and authority policies for LTE VIP analysis.

LTE VIP Analysis Function


The LTE VIP analysis function enables you to routinely monitor the calls of the selected VIP subscribers on an LTE network. The reports based on the routine monitoring help you know the service quality experienced by VIP subscribers. This helps network optimization engineers identify and solve potential network problems in advance, improving VIP subscriber satisfaction.

VIP Analysis
The Nastar filters subscriber call records by IMSI and then aggregates and analyzes KPIs (including monitor KPIs and active cell KPIs) based on the VIP group level and the VIP subscriber level, implementing the network optimization at the subscriber level. l Aggregation and analysis of KPIs by VIP group help network optimization engineers monitor the services of subscribers in important groups in a centralized, convenient, and timely manner. This improves the operation efficiency and reduces the operation expenditure. In addition, this enables you to identify problem VIP groups and problem VIP subscribers so that you can analyze and solve the problems in advance to avoid losing the VIP subscribers. Aggregation and analysis of KPIs based on the VIP subscriber level provide a detailed analysis on trends of KPIs (such as the average rate of the uplink GBR service, average rate of the downlink GBR service, average rate of the uplink non-GBR service, average rate of the downlink non-GBR service, uplink IBLER and downlink IBLER (code 1/code 2)) related to subscriber experience and behaviors. In this manner, you can quickly identify

Issue 01 (2011-08-15)

Nastar Network Optimization User Guide (LTE)

1 LTE Network Optimization

the VIP subscribers with the worst and best QoS during a certain period and obtain more information about the time when network problems occur. The Nastar also provides an in-depth analysis for the VIP subscribers whose raw data is collected in advance. If the KPI values of some VIP subscribers in a group deteriorate but the problem cannot be located at the site, the Nastar helps network engineers retrieve the detailed call reports of these VIP subscribers within a specified period. By analyzing these reports, the network engineers quickly locate the key call report that results in the deterioration of KPI values, and then analyzes the information such as the network quality and signaling procedure before link release and exception causes to locate problems. Aggregation and analysis of KPIs of active cells by VIP group and VIP subscriber help network engineers learn the main active areas for VIP subscribers on the network. If there are any network problems in these active areas, the network optimization engineers can quickly identify the key cells that need to be preferentially handled to solve these network problems and solve the problem of the service quality deterioration caused by these network problems in time. Used with the GIS, this function enables the Nastar to display active cells in geographic mode, which improves the efficiency of problem analysis and location.

Limitations
The LTE VIP analysis function allows NEs to report raw call data of important VIP subscribers to the Nastar. The amount of raw data is huge. Therefore, a limitation must be imposed to prevent system overload in the case of concurrent operations by a large number of users. In the case of analysis by VIP group, the Nastar can analyze data of 30,000 VIP subscribers (that is, the number of VIP subscribers in all VIP groups that are selected for the analysis cannot exceed 30,000). In the case of analysis by VIP subscriber, the Nastar can analyze data of 2,000 VIP subscribers (that is, the number of VIP subscribers in all the VIP groups that are allowed to report raw data cannot exceed 2,000). The KPI analysis function for active cells of LTE VIP subscribers enables the Nastar to display the geographic distribution of active cells. Correct configuration data or engineering parameters must be imported to ensure the display effect.

Authority Policies for LTE VIP Analysis


The Nastar provides secure authority management policies to ensure the security of private information for subscribers. The authority management policies enable different types of users to have different operation rights for the security of their private information.

Introduction to Authority Types


l View rights allow users to view a security object on the Nastar client. If a user can view a security object on the Nastar client, the user has the view rights to this security object. Here, security objects refer to VIP groups for VIP analysis tasks. View rights are associated with the management domain. If a security object is added to the management domain of a user or a user group, the user or users in the group have the view rights to this security object. For details about how to enable view rights for users, see the description in "Management domain of user" in Creating an Nastar User Account. l Operation rights allow users to perform an operation. If a user has operation rights, the user can perform a specific operation. Here, operation rights include query rights to VIP analysis tasks, operation rights to VIP analysis tasks, management rights to VIP groups, and rights to create, modify, and delete subnets.
Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 84

Issue 01 (2011-08-15)

Nastar Network Optimization User Guide (LTE)

1 LTE Network Optimization

Operation rights are associated with the management domain. A user can perform the operation corresponding to the operation rights for only the objects in the management domain of the user. Query rights to VIP analysis tasks: If a Nastar user has the rights, the user can query the authorized VIP analysis tasks. Operation rights to VIP analysis tasks: If a Nastar user has the rights, the user can create, modify, query, or delete the authorized VIP analysis tasks. Management rights to VIP groups: If a Nastar user has the rights, the user can create, modify, query, or delete the authorized VIP groups. If a Nastar user not in the administrator group has the rights create, modify, and delete subnets, the Nastar adds the VIP groups created by this user to the management domain. These VIP groups are visible to other users not in the administrator group. For details about how to enable operation rights for users, see the description in "Operation rights of user" in Creating an Nastar User Account.

Introduction to Authority Policies


The authority policies for each type of user to manage VIP groups are as follows: l Users in the administrator group: This type of user has view rights and operation rights initially. That is, the user is authorized to create VIP groups, and modify, query, or delete information about VIP groups created by any user. Users not in the administrator group: To create VIP groups, the user in the administrator group or security administrator group must have operation rights to VIP groups and rights to create, modify, and delete subnets. For details, see Scenario 1 in Table 1. To modify, query, or delete information about VIP groups created by the user in the administrator group or security administrator group, the user does not need other rights. To modify or delete information about VIP groups created by other users the user in the administrator group or security administrator group must have operation rights and view rights to VIP groups. For details, see Scenario 6 in Table 1. To query information VIP groups created by other users, the user in the administrator group or security administrator group must have view rights to VIP groups. For details, see Scenario 7 in Table 1. The authority policies for each type of user to manage VIP analysis tasks are as follows: l Users in the administrator group: This type of user has view rights and operation rights to all VIP analysis tasks initially. That is, the user is authorized to create VIP analysis tasks, and modify, query, or delete VIP analysis tasks created by any user. Users not in the administrator group: To create a VIP analysis task involving only the VIP groups created by the user in the administrator group or security administrator group, the user must have operation rights to VIP analysis tasks. (The authority policies for this type of user to modify and delete VIP analysis tasks in this situation are the same as those to create VIP analysis tasks.) For details, see Scenario 2 in Table 1. To create a VIP analysis task involving VIP groups created by other users, the user in the administrator group or security administrator group must have view rights to VIP

Creating LTE E2E Tasks


This section describes how to create LTE E2E tasks. After the creation, the Nastar sends a rule file to the LTE SAU. Then, the M2000 forwards this rule file to related NEs to enable them to collect and provide data.

Prerequisite
l l l l You have logged in to the Nastar client. The OSS and NEs related to the analysis task are created. For details, see Creating OSSs and the Managed NEs. Configuration data is imported into the Nastar database. For details, see Importing Configuration Data. The data source is subscribed and the status is Open.

Context
You are advised to observe the E2E task for five minutes to check whether the task is executed normally after you create the E2E task by performing the following steps. If Status of the E2E task is still Running after five minutes, it indicates that the E2E task is executed normally. If Status of the E2E task is Complete or Failed after five minutes, it indicates that the E2E task fails to be executed. Note that the Nastar monitors the tasks by checking the task status on the M2000 at an interval of five minutes.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Maintenance > E2E Task Management. The E2E Task Management window is displayed. Step 2 Click New Task. The New Task dialog box is displayed.

Nastar Network Optimization User Guide (LTE)

1 LTE Network Optimization

CAUTION
You must consider the time zone difference between the Nastar and the SAU when setting the task execution range. For example: The Nastar delivers an E2E task to be executed from 04:00 to 05:00. The local time on the SAU is two hours later than the local time on the Nastar server. In this case, the SAU preprocesses and reports the data related to the E2E task to the Nastar server after 06:00 in the local time on the Nastar server. Therefore, the Nastar completes E2E tasks in a four-hour delay to ensure that all required data is collected to the Nastar server. You are advised to create an E2E task one day before creating a theme analysis task. The Nastar supports the function of searching for objects in the object navigation tree. After you click an object in the navigation tree, you can press Ctrl+F to search for and locate an object. Step 6 Click Complete. A dialog box prompting you to check the status of the data source switch for the analysis task is displayed. You must ensure that the data source switch is on before executing an E2E task. Otherwise, the E2E task fails to be executed. The cause of the failure is that the data source switch is off. For details about how to turn on the data source switch, see Subscribing to LTE Performance Analysis Data. ----End

Creating a Data Import Task


This section describes how to create a data import task. The Nastar periodically imports the analysis data such as the performance data, VIP analysis data, and cell performance analysis data on the Nastar server into the database to perform various theme analysis tasks.

Prerequisite
You have logged in to the Nastar client.

Context
l l A data import task is a user-defined scheduled task. You can create only one user-defined scheduled task of the same type. The data import task can only be executed periodically. The unit of the task execution period can be Hour, Day, Week, or Month. The data import task of the same type can only be created once on the Nastar. After the task is created, the Nastar automatically imports data at the preset time. A data import task can be performed only after the related data collection task is complete (if the data collection task running type is period, only after the first period). Otherwise, the integrity of the imported data may be affected. You need to create data import tasks of different types based on the type of an analysis task. Table 1-18 shows the mapping between analysis task types and types of data import tasks.

The Nastar can quickly locate all the call records that are related to the faulty cell involved in a complaint based on the known faulty cell and IMSI of the complaint subscriber. Through the analysis of causes of access failure, handover failure, and abnormal call drop, the Nastar assists in problem location and solution. This improves the efficiency of handling complaints and increases the subscriber satisfaction.

1.7.1 Basic Knowledge of LTE Complaint Analysis Support


This section describes the basic knowledge of LTE complaint analysis support, including LTE complaint analysis support function and authority policies for LTE complaint analysis support.

LTE Complaint Analysis Support Function


This section describes the LTE complaint assistant analysis function. This function helps to analyze the subscriber calls that are recorded before and after a complaint, to locate and rectify faults, to improve complaint handling efficiency, and to improve subscriber satisfaction.
Issue 01 (2011-08-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 114

Nastar Network Optimization User Guide (LTE)

1 LTE Network Optimization

Complaint Analysis Support


The Nastar obtains historical call records of complaint subscribers, and then filters, aggregates, and analyzes data based on a specified historical period and detailed call records of subscribers in a specified area, assisting in locating and solving problems. The complaint analysis support consists of the aggregation and analysis of cause types in call reports of complaint subscribers, aggregation and analysis of information about call reports of complaint subscribers, analysis of detailed information about call reports of complaint subscribers, analysis of procedure before signaling release in call reports of complaint subscribers, and analysis of active cells in call reports of complaint subscribers. l Aggregation and analysis of cause types in call reports from complaint subscribers help network engineers filter and aggregate call reports based on abnormal causes. There are four types of causes: normal, RRC setup failure, E-RAB setup failure, and ERAB abnormal release. For details about these cause types, see Table 1-20. Table 1-20 Cause types and description Cause Type Normal RRC setup failure E-RAB setup failure E-RAB abnormal release l Description Calls are measured when no RRC setup failure, E-RAB setup failure, or E-RAB abnormal release occurs. Calls are measured when an RRC setup failure occurs. Calls are measured when an E-RAB setup fails. Calls are measured when an E-RAB abnormal release fails.

The basic information about complaint subscriber CHRs provides an overview of CHRs of all subscribers (such as access time, access cell, release time, release cell, IMSI, IMEI, and service duration) and helps you analyze the basic information about complaint subscribers. The detailed analysis on call reports of complaint subscribers provides the details of all filtered call reports and helps you perform the complaint analysis support and locate problems. The details of all filtered call reports include the subscriber information and access/release information. The measurement reports (MRs) on calls of complaint subscribers before call release provide information about the serving cells of subscribers before call release and the neighboring cells. This helps engineers analyze and locate problems. The analysis of active cells in call reports of complaint subscribers enables network engineers to learn all the cells recorded in abnormal call reports.

Limitations
The UMTS complaint analysis support function requires raw call data from complaint subscribers. The amount of raw data is huge. Therefore, a limitation must be imposed to prevent system overload in the case of concurrent operations by a large number of users. In such a case, the maximum number of concurrent complaint subscribers allowed by the Nastar cannot exceed 2,000, and the selected complaint subscribers must be under the same SAU.

1.8 LTE Cell Performance Analysis


This section describes the LTE cell performance analysis, including the management of cell performance analysis tasks and the query and export of cell performance analysis reports. By providing call data of abnormal users in problem cells, the Nastar assists you in analyzing the root cause of abnormal calls. This helps to provide better services and improve user satisfaction.

1.8.1 Basic Knowledge of LTE Cell Performance Analysis


This section describes the basic knowledge of the LTE cell performance analysis function, which facilitates identification of problem cells and enables the Nastar to obtain the data of exceptional calls in problem cells. By analyzing and displaying the data of exceptional calls, the Nastar assists in identifying the causes of problem cells, thus facilitating in-depth problem analysis.

Cell Performance Analysis


Generally, the whole-to-partial analysis method is used during the network optimization or performance analysis. That is, the Nastar locates and analyzes network problems by monitoring KPIs, and then analyzes the KPIs of the entire network or a subnetwork. Then, the Nastar analyzes cells of a faulty eNodeB to identify the top problem cells. After that, the Nastar analyzes the top problem cells. At present, the minimum analysis unit of most performance data is cell. The Nastar, however, provides detailed and in-depth analysis on problem cells, including the analysis of top cells and analysis of top subscribers. The functions provided by the Nastar are as follows: l After the main causes of problem cells are identified, the Nastar provides you with an indepth understanding of top users with poor KPIs by providing the function of analyzing top exceptional users in cells. This function helps network engineers to locate a type of top users in problem cells. In this case, network engineers can solve the problems of top users, thus improving cell performance. If problem cells are unknown, the Nastar analyzes top problem cells based on the subnetwork, thus helping to identify the top problem cells.

The results of cell performance analysis can be exported as .xls or .xlsx files. In this case, users can optimize problem cells in the network according to the exported analysis results.

Exception Types
The cell exception is analyzed in three aspects. For details, see Table 1-24.

1.9 LTE Cell Fault Analysis


The Nastar provides the functions of managing LTE cell fault analysis tasks, querying cell fault analysis reports, and exporting terminal analysis reports. Based on the alarm data, CHR data, and traffic statistics about the relevant cell, the Nastar locates the root cause of the fault and provides rectification advice.

1.9.1 Basic Knowledge of LTE Cell Fault Analysis


Usually, LTE cell fault analysis is triggered by the KPI service alarm reported by an NE. After receiving a KPI service alarm, the Nastar queries the alarm data, call history record (CHR) data, and traffic statistics from the relevant NE, analyzes the cause of the alarm, and helps network O&M engineers analyze and locate the network fault.

Cell Fault Analysis


During network operation & maintenance, the eNodeB monitors and collects statistics on KPI counters periodically. When the value of a KPI counter exceeds the preset threshold, a KPI service alarm is generated and reported to the M2000. After receiving the alarm, the Nastar starts cell fault analysis.
Issue 01 (2011-08-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 150

KPI service alarms include: l l l l l Cell RRC Connection Success Rate Too Low Cell SAEB Setup Success Rate Too Low Cell Call Drop Rate Too High Cell Handover Success Rate Too Low Intra-Frequency Outgoing Cell Handover Success Rate Too Low and Inter-Frequency Outgoing Cell Handover Success Rate Too Low No Traffic Volume in the Cell

The Nastar analyzes the fault based on the alarm data generated when the fault occurs, performance counter values, and CHR data. During cell fault analysis, the Nastar analyzes all possible causes of the fault and produces a cell fault analysis report. The report contains the possible causes of the fault, probability of occurrence of each cause, rectification advice, and CHR data about each UE when the fault occurs. You can analyze and locate network problems based on this report. The result of cell fault analysis can be exported as a .xls or .xlsx file. Thus, you can optimize the problematic cell in the network according to this result.
