1. What is the definition of these indicators :


 HOOBRQR : outgoing handover preparation success rate
 HOOBEFR : outgoing handover efficiency rate
2. Extract the 2 indicators from NPO
 For 1 cell : select one cell – ensure that all trainees are using the same cell
 Hourly, for the past 2 hours – after drag and drop, in the execution context window, choose
"hourly".
 Daily, for yesterday.
3. Find counters related to these indicators
 Hourly, for the past 2 hours – counters can be found by drag and drop an indicator from the "QoS
Indicators" tab to the "QoS Counters" tab.

Note 1: open the counters' tab before the drag and drop, otherwise it doesn't work (the tree needs to
be created)
Note 2 : a "quick drop" selects the counters but doesn't select the counter's tree. You need to click on
"counters" to see the result. A long drop (> 2s) will select the counters AND display the tree. This
duration can be defined in the user preferences.

Let's follow a typical scenario of report analysis


1. Clear the views browser – right click on the tab of a view "Clear All"
2. Extract (1) a list of indicators for all cells in one BSC
3. Extract (2) the same report with
 QoS Requirements = LOW – QoS Requirements are in "options" of the execution context
window.
4. Extract (3) a list of indicators for few cells, daily, for yesterday. few cells = 5 to 10
5. Extract (4) a report containing all parameters related to cell reselection, for all cells of a BSC,
for yesterday
6. Brainstorming : Define a list of KPI
7. Extract (5) those KPIs per BSC, for all BSCs
 Periodicity = WEEKLY, DAY = one day last week, QoS Requirements = HIGH
8. Extract (6) a report containing BCCH, BSIC, FREQUENCIES and NUMBER OF TRX per cell, for
yesterday – these information are in DESIGN.

Don't hesitate to introduce the "favorites" (= RNO's Best Of) in order to keep the indicators
selection in memory.

"propagate selected network elements"
 How many cells ? Answer : the number is written at the bottom of
the cell tree.
 Remove the filter – right click on the column header, and remove filter.
 Highlight and open the legend : select and propagate all cells that exceed the orange threshold
for the RTCH drop rate – highlight : the yellow bulb in the left menu. Open legend : the legend
icon in the left menu.
 How many cells ? Answer : thanks to the legend, "select" all red +
orange cells. Then propagate selected objects.

 Report 2
 Highlight and open the legend : select and propagate all cells that exceed the orange threshold
for the RTCH drop rate
 How many cells ? Answer :
 Order the cells : highest call_drop_BSS_remote_TC_rate on top – double click on the column
header
 Which cell is the worst one ? Answer :
 Select and propagate this cell. Find this cell's TRXs : - drag and drop the propagated cell to the
TRX mode.
 Which TRXs of this cell have the same problem ? Answer : - you must execute a new
view for these TRX. You should not do a drill down, because it will display ALL TRX of ALL
cells of report 2. BEWARE : spatial drill down can work only if indicators are available at TRX
level.
 Perform a spatial roll up (x2) on report 2 – spatial roll up x 2 means that you click once, wait,
and then click one more time. First roll up : BSC level, second roll up : Network.
 Is the problem impacting the BSC ? Answer : if the BSC has a bad
average value (first spatial roll up), then we can assume the problem is actually on a bigger
scale.

evolution of few indicators.
 Highlight
 Is there any threshold exceeded ? Answer : - use the highlight.
 Select BSC with highest CDR
 Temporal drill down, is there one day with high CDR ? Answer : - temporal drill down of one
week shows only one day (the Monday), but since we have only one object, you should see
the seven days of the week.
 Temporal roll up, what is the monthly CDR ? Answer :
 Spatial drill down, is there one cell(s) with high CDR ? Answer : - use order.

A9159 NPO GSM — Exercises Solutions 1—1— 24
 Create the following zones : - right click in object zone "blank area". Select "new object zone".
1. Cells from BSC 1 – object type = CELL, filter object type = CELL, one criteria : in design,
BSC=xxxx

2. Depending on your network, create one zone per "CELL TYPE" AND per "FREQUENCY RANGE"
(single, umbrella, mini, micro or indoor) – object type = CELL, filter object type = CELL, 2
criteria (w/ intersection). Ensure the criteria contains a valid condition and the value is correct.
For instance GSM900 is not the same as 900 or gsm900 or gsm_900, etc. Also, one criteria only
can be used, by using "AND" between the two criteria.

3. Cells with at least one TRX with TCH assign efficiency % < 90% and TCH allocated > 200, and that
belongs to BSC 1 - object type CELL, filter object type = TRX, Children "At least one child", use
one criteria only with "AND" between the two indicators conditions.

4. TRX with TRX PREF MARK = 0 and belongs to cells which have more than 3 TRX - object type TRX,
1st filter object type = TRX, use one criteria "TRX PREF MARK = 1". 2nd filter, filter object type =
CELL, use one criteria "Design/ Cell Capacity/ TRX NUMBER > 3".

5. TRX with less than 1 erlang per day- object type TRX, filter object type = TRX, use one criteria.

6. GPUs from BSC 1 and BSC 2 – Object type = GPU, filter object type = GPU, and in "topology", on
the right panel, find the BSC NAME. Use a criteria such as "BSC=1 OR BSC=2"
 Close the Zone Editor, and find your Zones in NPO – they'll be located in OBJECT ZONE, in CELL ZONE
(if object type = CELL) and in TRX ZONE (if object type = TRX). To display them, perform a "refresh
tree" (Edit / Refresh / Active Mode or Active Tree…. The families are used only in OBJECT ZONE, and
choose the upper tab "Family".
 "Compute" each zone – right click on a zone… compute.
 How many NE's for each zone ?

Expression :
 Execute this selected rule for all cells in the BSC
 Select all cells which are red or orange
 Propagate the selection
 How many cells do not follow the rule ? Answer :
 Select all parameters linked to this rule
 Execute the selection of cells and parameters
 Compare their operationnal & reference values
 Does it follow the reference ? this shows that the rule indeed is using the operational
values and is much quicker than a visual check !

 Apply a tuning session


 Export the previous session to the OMC-R
 If the OMC-R is available, perform all the steps until activation of the PRC

 Notice how long it took to perform a massive tuning…

 It is faster than doing manually, especially when modifying the HO MARGIN / L RXLEV CPT HO !!

 To export to the OMC-R, you need a connection btw OMC-R and NPO, and you need the Tuning
license activated in NPO.

 In OMC-R : IconBox, choose "NPO Tuning Browser", import the last NPO session and save it in a PRC
directory. Then create a new PRC and "populate" it with this PRC directory. Then activate.

 Group per group, you will perform the update of the path balance template, accordingly to the
previous slides.

 The last group will import it in the OMC-R.

 Activation is possible, if wanted.

 Activation : do the same as a tuning session. Once the PRC is executed, the BSC contains the correct
RMS template. Now a second PRC is needed in order to activate this template on the cells (this is a
cell parameter, very simple, do it with "edit n cells")

Cartography, slide 149
A9159 NPO GSM — Exercises Solutions 1—1— 36

 This exercise must be validated on NPO. It is corrected by memory only…


 Using the cartography,
 Select all cells with
 FREQ RANGE = GSM900
 AND CELL CLASS = URBAN
 AND CELL TYPE = MICRO
 - this can be done thanks to the side panel, by using the filters.
 And tune their parameter "A_PBGT_HO" to 12 – use a tuning session

 Select one cell and use the Adjacency wizard to check relations within 400m, and remove
relations with "No Usage" (import in the Tuning Session)

 Create a thematic layer for CELL2G, based on – 2 criterias will be used


 RTCH_LOAD, 4 intervals : 0-50%, 50-75%, 75-100%, > 100% (green to red) – COLOUR !!
 Nb of TRXs, 3 intervals : 1-2, 3-4, >4 (scale : 0.4, 0.8, 1.2) – SIZE !!
 Apply this thematic layer for different hours during the day

 One can see the movement of traffic in the network… Morning trip to work, lunch time, back
home, going to party, going to football stadium, etc. Useful to predict HO's and LU's.

 Generate a report, including all BSCs, with :
 SDCCH Erlang at BH
 TCH Erlang FR at BH
 TCH Erlang HR at BH
 Number of TRX per BSC
 Number of cell per BSC
 Max congestion on Ater PS interface, for each GPU

 a BSC "tabular view" report with all these information is not possible. You must create many reports
and then assemble them in excel. The last one is a GPU report…
 Max Congestion on Ater PS interface is a GPRS GPU indicator in :
 GPRS Ater
 GCH
 GPRS_GPU_Ater_cong_percent ( QAGALCTP )
 GPRS_GPU_Ater_cong_max_percent ( QAGALCTP_MA )

 It is highly intereting to create Abis links between BSC-BTS and BTS-BTS :


 Possibility to detect problems on chained BTS due to faulty Abis
 Possibility to keep track of network architecture in NPO

1. Create a new relationship type : ABIS


2. Create a new link from one BSC to one BTS, and from this BTS to another BTS (if possible, use a real
example).
3. Load the changes in NPO

TABULATION are used just for reading comfort !! don't use [tab] in your files !!
Check : is BTS an existing object ? in BTS mode, open properties of one BTS : is there an object ID ?

add two lines in Topology TYPES file


1; ABIS_BSC; BSC_ID/BTS_ID;GSM;BSC;BTS s221
1; ABIS_INTER_BTS; BTS_ID/BTS_ID;GSM;BTS;BTS
ABIS_BSC
