About Diamond
Diamond is a tool built for Mobile networks with Alcatel-Lucent BSS equipment. It works
across only B9 Release, including Maintenance Releases MR1 and MR4. From a structural
perspective, Diamond provides three modules:
Traffic Analysis Module.
Diamond is a Traffic Follow-up Tool created to provide radio network engineers easy way of
monitoring traffic on live EGPRS networks.
Dimensioning Module.
Diamond is a network dimensioning tool designed to evaluate infrastructure requirements
according to observed traffic over each interface (Air, Abis, AterMux, Gb), including
Location Area and GP/GPU. It works well as complementary with AMT (Architecture
Management Tool).
Estimation module.
Diamond estimates the network infrastructure required to support specific load and options
requirements for custom scenarios.

To get Diamond, please go to the Network Engineering internal website:

Defining Parameters
Dimensioning
Counter Input Mode. Working with
data gathered on live networks.
Manual Input Mode. No data
available. Working with own values.

Importing Data
Running TSL script on NPA or OMC-R (MPM).
Script to retrieve a set of indicators/PM counters over 1 week from metrica database.
Running steps:
FTP the script in directory you can log on. Username: metrica
Open the terminal window
Make sure the script file is in unix format: file B9Dim_TSL_V8.tsl
If the result is ascii text, then type: dos2unix B9Dim_TSL_V8.tsl B9Dim_TSL_V8.tsl
Make sure the variables /alcatel/npr/tqlclients/bin and /alcatel/npr/tslserver/bin
are in the path by typing: echo $path.
If they are not pathed, type:
set path = ($path /alcatel/npr/tqlclients, /alcatel/npr/tslserver/bin)
Type command tsl -nowin B9Dim_TSL_V8.tsl
Ouput results: to be found in the directory tmp. The file names are B9_File_01.txt,
B9_File_02.txt,, B9_File_13.txt

Importing Data
It will be replaced by a
new script adapted to
NPO for B10

Importing Data
Running AMT script on OMC-R.
Script to retrieve a set of configuration files. The only used is cell.csv file.
Running steps
Please visit AMT .NET website http://pcs.tm.alcatel.ro/amt for more details about the
script.

Importing Data
Checking retrieved files
An utility tool could be given to end-users to check files (NULL values, missing values)
If files are highly corrupted, please run the script again, or check related data on MPM/RNO.


Importing Data
N.B: This tool might show all the files are in a right
format, however, it doesnt mean that the number
of measurements in each file is enough for the
dimensioning. If the minimum measurement
number per day is less than 12, a warning message
box will pop-out. And if it is less than 5, user is
suggested reloading the data.

Importing Data
Checking retrieved files
This tool is used to check:
Wether the data files are empty.
Wether the data files have any errors
or not.
Wether this file is empty.
Wether the data values are NULL.
Wether all the counters have the
same sample number on the same
day.


Building Project
Available with the Project Manager in Diamond.
The set of files obtained by running the scripts is
processed by Diamond for delivering you a project,
utilizing the project manager that store a database
on a local server. This project is reusable as you
want.
Defining Parameters
Diamond allows user to set the following parameters
for dimensioning.
Radio and configuration parameters
Be aware that Radio parameters are only used if
the values are not available at cell level.

Traffic Analysis
Traffic Analysis module available for Air, Abis, AterMUx, Gb interfaces, and also for GPUs
and Location Areas.
Generates traffic graphs.
Specific graphs and scales for each network element.
AterMux interface: CS/PS/SS7 traffic, Number of free/available/maximum busy GCHs


Traffic Analysis and Dimensioning
Dimensioning
Dimensioning module available for Air, Abis, AterMUx, Gb interfaces, and also for GPUs and
Location Areas.
Analyzes traffic data to generate infrastructure requirements.
Provides information about the network element under analysis.
Analytical part based on telecom-traffic laws (Erlang B/C, Kaufman-Roberts algorithm)

User Scenarios
Example: AterMux dimensioning with MCS
Method
GoS settings
SS7 blocking = 0.5%
CS blocking = 2%
PS quantile = 99.9%
PS service delay = 0 s
User scenarios
Available with the manual input module.
Only for manual input mode.
Estimating network infrastructure
Forecasting network infrastructure

Results
SS7 level: 39 connections, 1 Link, SS7 real blocking = 0.4254%
CS level : 107 TCHs, 1 dedicated Link, CS real blocking = 1.9216%
PS level: 407 GCHs, 1 GPU, 4 PS Links/GPU, PS real quantile = 99.9%

Navigation Pane and Toolbar
Navigation Pane
The navigation pane presents the network elements in the BSS
part in a tree structure. All Elements are grouped by package.
Element names are: Cell, BTS, BSC, GPU, PVC, LA, RA, MFS,
OMC.
Network elements can be directly manipulated through a
context menu.
Toolbar
The toolbar contains buttons or list for direct access to the main functions of Diamond.

Dimensioning methods
Abis dimensioning
Estimate the number of extra Abis nibbles.
Three methods are available:
Extra-Bonus method: based on extra and bonus nibbles traffic at BTS level.
GCH method : based on traffic carried over the GCHs at BTS level. (experimental)
MCS method : based on Coding Schemes traffic at BTS level.
Dimensioning
methods
Air dimensioning
Estimate the number of TCHs, SDCCHs and TRXs.
Based on Erlang B law to evaluate the number of SDCCHs channels.
Based on Kaufman-Roberts algorithm is used evaluate the number of TCHs.
Gb dimensioning
Estimate the number of 64 kbps TS needed at Gb interface, for each PVC.
Based on traffic observed at PVC level. Erlang C law is used to evaluate the number of
required TS.

Export in Excel
Diamond allows user to export traffic analysis, dimensioning results and counter values for
more than one NE of the same type in excel. A wizard is prompted to the user when he
wants to perform previous actions.
