10 Analyzing CDMA data Actix A Solutions Getting Started
2 Analyzing CDMA data
The Solution interface
After the startup is complete, the application window looks like
this:

The arrangement of loaded help files and data display
windows is called the current workspace. You can save and
reuse workspaces as necessary.
You may find it useful to create one or more workspaces to act as
templates for future work sessions. Save these to your desktop, so you can
double-click them to start your solution with your preferred layouts.

Actix A Solutions Getting Started Analyzing CDMA data 11
Configure network information
Import network information
As well as geographical data, it is also useful to display your
network information on a map window.
You must have your network information defined in a text file
(usually called 'cellrefs', although it can be given any name)
before you can import it. You can use the Network Explorer to
import, view and edit the cellrefs file.
If you manually create a cellrefs file, you must have this as the first line:
;#NetworkData datafile
If you import the file using the Network Explorer, this line is added
automatically.
To maximize the benefit for CDMA network analysis, the
following parameters should be included in the import:
Parameter Actix Workspace Name Purpose
Site Name CDMA_Site SiteName Text description of the Site for display on
map.
Site Number CDMA_Site SiteID Numeric identifier for the Site.
Latitude CDMA_Site SiteLatitude Locates Site icons on the map.
Longitude CDMA_Site SiteLongitude Locates Site icons on the map.
Sector Number CDMA_Cell Sector ID Can 1,2,3 etc.
or a combination of site numbers
Sector-specific information useful for display
on maps.
Azimuth CDMA_Cell Azimuth Orients the sector icons on the map.
Beamwidth CDMA_Cell Beamwidth Governs the shape of the sector 'wedge' on
the map to reflect the beamwidth of the
antenna deployed at the site.
Base Station
Power
CDMA_Cell EIRP Base station power, used in CDMA Toolkit
calculations.
PN Offset CDMA_Cell PN Used in CDMA Toolkit calculations, lines to
neighbor cells and to color sectors/sites on
maps to reflect PN planning.
MCC CDMA_Cell MCC Mobile Country Code
SID CDMA_Cell SID System Identity
NID CDMA_Cell NID Network Identity
BID CDMA_Cell BID Broadcast Identity

To import the network information
1 From the Tools menu, select Network Explorer to
open the Network Explorer window.
For more information on using the Network Explorer,
see the online help.

2 From the toolbar, click Import and select Import From
New Template to open the Import dialog.
3 Select the appropriate network data file.
4 Click Open to display the Custom Import Wizard.
5 Give the Template a meaningful Description.
6 Under Delimiters, check Tab.
7 Under General Settings, enter '1' for Ignore header
rows and ';' for Array (list) Separator. If your file has
more than one header or uses a different array list
separator, set these options accordingly.
8 Click on the Column Settings tab.
The Column Settings tab allows you to associate a
network parameter with a column of data in the text file.
Note that each of the field names has an associated
icon:
Key fields
You must select a field type for
this field, but you cannot set a
default value.
Required fields
These must be either bound to a
particular type or have a default
value set.
Other fields
Binding particular field types or
setting default values is not strictly
necessary for this field.
9 Under the Columns heading, click on a setting for a
particular field.
10 Select a column binding from the drop-down list. The
Wizard then displays the selected parameter against
the appropriate column.
11 Select the appropriate columns for CDMA Site and
Site Name. Repeat this for the SiteID, Latitude, and
Longitude.
12 For the remaining columns, look for the attribute
headers under CDMA Cell. Use the Cell ID column for
the CDMA Cell Sector ID, Azimuth, Beamwidth,
EIRP, PN, MCC, SID, NID, and BID (a description of
each of these parameters and their use is described in
the table at the beginning of this section).

13 Click Finish when all the columns have been assigned.
The new cell information will be added at the bottom of
the existing list in the Network Explorer.
When the cellrefs file is updated, you should use the template you have
created on the new file, so you do not have to repeat work you have already
done, including the column-by-column parameter assignment.
Set a CDMA network information file
1 From the Tools menu, select Preferences to open the
Preferences dialog:

2 Click on File Location to select the cellrefs file.
3 Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.
You will now see a message saying that the new file
will take effect with the next workspace created or
loaded.
You may now want to close and restart your Actix
Solution for the change to take effect.

Manage data
Load data files
1 From the main toolbar, click the Open Logfile button to
display the Open dialog.
2 Select an appropriate file.
Files of Type defaults to 'All Formats' but you can select a specific file type
to look for. This also illustrates the many file formats available for use with
Actix A Solutions.
Find and use data in the Workspace Explorer
The Workspace Explorer window is a graphical display of all
loaded data or log files and the data structure contained within
each file. Loaded files are at the highest level, with devices
and other data streams displayed at lower levels.
The name of each type of element is shown below. Note that
the exact structures and icons used depend on the data file
loaded and the group that you are examining.

1 Click on the symbols to open out and explore the
data in your logfile. See how your data relates to the
structure shown above.
In the example below, the file 'MyFile1' contains a data
stream called 'Qualcomm MDM 1900' (the number is
the data stream number within the file, starting from
zero). The 'CDMA' group contains the 'Pilot Sets' set,
which contains the 'SearcherMaxEnergy' data attribute.
However, the only objects that you actually need to
recognize are filenames, data streams and data
attributes.
The logical tree-view layout of the Workspace Explorer
allows you to drill down and identify all logged data.
Once you have located the appropriate data attribute,
you can open it in a data windowfor example, a map,
chart, table or spreadsheetto examine the data in
detail. You can examine data streams using the
Message Browser tool.


You may also want additional information about a
particular data attribute.
2 Select 'ActiveDelay_Max1'.
3 From the Help menu, select Show Context Help.

4 Click the button to dock the attribute help window
and drag it to a useful position.

5 Select a new attribute. Note that the help now provides
information on that attribute.

Delete data files
To remove a data file from the Workspace Explorer
1 Right-click on the name of the logfile to display the
Close Logfile option.
2 Click Close Logfile.
The data file is now removed from the Workspace
Explorer display.
View summary data
Tables
Tables let you examine the numeric series, histogram and
statistical data for the selected attribute.
From the Workspace Explorer, right-click on the data
attribute 'DownLink Measurements > EcIo_1stBest' and
select Display on Table.

This opens the Table window:

Experiment with the other tabs in the window.

The Message Browser
The Message Browser differs from the previous data windows
in that it only appears as a pop-up menu option at the data
stream level in the Workspace Explorer.
From the Workspace Explorer, right-click on a data
stream and select Display Message Browser.

The Message Browser combines an event panel (sequentially
listing call events) with a panel of Layer 3 messaging, allowing
you to pinpoint the root causes of problems.

View data
From the Workspace Explorer, you can right-click any data
attribute to display a suitable pop-up menu of options.
Right-click on a data attribute.
A pop-up menu opens, similar to this:

Selecting one of the display methods opens the
appropriate data window.
View data in the Map window
1 Use the pop-up menu to display the data attribute
'EcIo_1stBest' in a map window.

2 Click on the Pan button.
3 Click and drag the data around the map window.
4 Experiment with the Zoom buttons.

5 In the Workspace Explorer, open up the 'Event Data'
set and drag the 'WeakPilotWarning' event onto the
map, which should look similar to this:

Adding events (for example 'CallDropped') to the
mapped data can help you see where problems are
occurring.
6 Drag another data attribute onto the map.
You can also change the size, symbol or color of the
data, apply offsets to an attribute or merge attributes for
a multidimensional display. See the online help for
further details.
The map legend defines histogram ranges for charts.
7 To hide a data series, in the legend pane, click in the
check box beside the series name.
To find out how to add background geographical and network information to
map windows, see the section 'Configure your Solution'.

View data in Forms
While examining data on a map, you can also view data
attributes for the same data point by using the Forms tool.
1 From the View menu, select Forms and select an
appropriate Form (or, from the Workspace Explorer,
right-click on a stream name, select Display Form and
then the form name).
2 In the map window, click Select and select a data
point.
The Forms window now displays a variety of attributes
based on the data point you selected. Here is an
example handset StateForm:

3 If you have scanner data in your logfile, start another
Form window.
4 Right-click on the form and select Open File, then
select a form (.axw) file for a scanner.
5 Right-click on the form and select Stream Selector,
then the scanner stream.

Below is an example scanner form. Note that selecting
Stream Selector again closes the stream selector field.

Replay the data
With a drive test file, you may want to recreate the drive test by
'playing' through the data file from beginning to end. You can
do this using the Replay feature.
To open the Replay control, from the main menu, select Tools,
then Display Replay.

Print the data
1 From the map window, click Print to open the Map
Layout Designer, which starts with the Page Setup
dialog open.
2 Set the paper size, orientation and margins, and
specify the header and footer for the page. Click OK to
continue.
You can now see the Map Layout Designer window.

3 Click on the map, legend, headers or footers to edit,
move or resize them as necessary.
4 To check on what the map will look like when printed,
click Print Preview.
5 When satisfied with the layout, click Print to open the
standard Windows Print dialog.

View data in the Chart window
'EcIo_1stBest' in a chart window.

You can display more than one attribute on the same
chart.
2 Select and drag the data attribute 'ForwardFER' from
the Workspace Explorer window onto the existing chart.

You can also zoom into selected areas of the chart by
defining a frame for the zoom.

3 On the chart, click the upper left corner of the zooming
rectangle, and drag down to the lower right extent of
the rectangle.

4 Release the mouse button to complete the zoom
action:

Note that the zoom only operates in the X-axis, not in
the Y-axis.
5 Now return the chart its original state by dragging a
box, but this time up and to the right.
6 Use the right mouse button to pan and scroll around
the chart window.


Although you can scroll in the X-axis for all attributes on
the chart, you can only pan in the Y-axis for the last
attribute to be displayed on the chart.
Also, you will see that a pop-up menu appears when
you release the right mouse button. You would usually
activate this menu by a single right-click.
7 Select Chart Properties to display this dialog:

8 Experiment with changing various display parameters
and observe the effect on the chart.

View synchronized data
The data in each of these windows is synchronized, so that
when displaying the same data attribute in a map, chart or
table, if you select a data point in one window, all related map,
chart or table windows also highlight the data point.
You should have a map and a chart window open, both
displaying the 'EcIo_1stBest' data attribute.
1 From the map window, click on Select.

Note the other toolbar buttons for selecting data points.
2 Now click on a data point on the map.
You should see that the relevant parts of the map and
the chart look as shown below, with a line appearing at
the equivalent 'EcIo_1stBest' point on the chart:

Generate reports
You may want to create high-level management reports based
on your collected data. You can print from map and chart
windows, but the Workbook function (using Microsoft Excel)
allows you to collate these views and perform other data
analysis functions to produce an integrated, polished report.
This task assumes that there is an Excel template created from your Actix
Solution that you can use to generate a report. If you do not have a report
template, see the online help for details of how to create one.
1 From the Workbook menu, select Open Workbook
and select an appropriate Excel template.

2 Click Open.
3 Select the data source that you want to view in the
workbook report.

4 Click OK to process and display the data in the
workbook.

You can proceed to adapt the workbook, use other
Excel tools on the data, and so on.

Configure your Solution
Map backgrounds and layers
This section shows you how to add a background and arrange
the layers within a map window.
1 Display a data attribute in a map window.
2 Click Layers to open the Layer Control dialog.

Making a checkmark in a layer's box controls:
if the layer is visible
if objects on it can be selected
if the layer can be annotated (unchecking this
'locks' the Annotations layer from having any
further annotations added)
3 In the Layers box, click Add.
4 From the Open Layer dialog, select one or more
MapInfo Map (.tab) files.

MapInfo layers are named according to the geographic
location of the data (for example, the abbreviated US
state name and/or county name), and by the type of
data contained in the file. Here are some of the
common abbreviations used for MapInfo data types:
Suffix Layer Type
Y1 RtHwy010_Top
Y2 RtHwy010_Bot
X1 IntShld010
X2 IntShld1040
Pc Cultural Points
Pn Natural Points
Pm Municipal Points
R Railroads
H Highways
S Streets
Wr Water (rivers)
Wb Water (bodies of water)
Lm Landmarks
Cb City Boundary
Mc Minor Civic Division
Cy County
Other MapInfo layers: Voting District, Native
American Lands, Sub-MCD, State level tables
(school districts and elevation contours).
For example, the MapInfo layer named GAFULTS.TAB
contains street-level data for Fulton County, Georgia.
5 Click Open to show the .tab file in the layer list.

The top of the layer list represents the uppermost layer
in this map window.

6 Click Up and Down to move 'examplemap' to the
bottom and 'Annotations' to the top.
7 Click Close to return to the map view.
In a new Actix installation, the map location defaults to
0 longitude, 0 latitude, so you will need to arrange the
map view to display the new map.
8 Pan the map viewing area by right-clicking in the map
area, then choosing Zoom, Go to Layer and selecting
the new map layer.
9 Use the Zoom and Pan controls to arrange the map as
required. To zoom in to an area, click Zoom In, then
click and drag a rectangle around the area of interest.
For some detailed layerslike the Street layersyou
can control at what degree of magnification they
become visible. This helps to minimize map clutter.

Display network information
To display network information on a map window, you must
have your network information defined in a text file (usually
called 'cellrefs.txt', although it can be given any name) before
you can import it into your Actix Solution. You can use the
Network Explorer to view and edit the cellrefs file. For details,
refer to the online help.
You should see graphics for each cell site on the map, but they
may be too big or two small.
To alter the size of the cell symbols

properties dialog, you would not need to select a data
pointall data points would have a line to their
neighbor cells. This can be useful in some situations.

Network Images
Files containing network data can be huge. Most of this data
will also go unexamined, and is not required to analyze
network behavior.
The Network Imaging feature lets you batch-process a number
of files into a pre-defined data set that can be archived and
collated to see how key network parameters have changed
over time. These pre-defined data sets, or templates, are
defined and modified by Actix.
Create a Network Image

CDMA pre-configured reports
Your Actix Solution provides a set of pre-configured reports,
each concentrating on a particular type of network analysis.
These 'application packs' distil advanced analysis techniques
into simple, comprehensive spreadsheet reports, ready for
immediate use by staff of all levels of experience. Each Actix
Solution has a different set of application packs.
The application packs are listed under the Analysis menu
which ones actually appear depend on the type of data file
loaded. Note that if you do not have a loaded data file, the
Analysis menu option will be grayed-out.
To use an application pack
1 Ensure that you have a data file loaded and that a
valid CellRefs file has been set.
2 From the Analysis menu, select an application pack (in
this example, 'CDMA Distant Server Analysis').
Once you select an application pack, this window
opens:

The top pane shows a tree-view of the network
structure against various statistics produced by the
application pack.
3 Use the top pane as necessary to narrow down the
data in your selection.
All reports appropriate to your selection are displayed
under the Suggested tab. If you want to use another

report, look under the All tab to view all reports
available within the current application pack.
A description of the reports contained within each
application pack is also provided in this window.
4 Double-click on a report icon to open the report
window. This will report on all data selected in the
upper tree-view panel.
5 As required, use the buttons at the bottom of the
window to Save the report as a web-compatible HTML
file set, Print the report to your printer or open the
report in Excel using Show Excel Report.
To reset thresholds for a new analysis
A number of the application pack reports use Custom
Attributes. To change the thresholds for a new analysis, you
need to re-run these Custom Attributes directly from the
Custom Attribute Manager:
Distance_Input
EcIo_Threshold_Input
You can now re-run the application pack.

CDMA StateTip
The CDMA StateTip utility provides a synchronized view of
Handset and PN Scanner data, allowing for a detailed
evaluation of neighbor list and pilot pollution problems.
By displaying the state of many different engineering
parameters at a given trouble spot, you can best judge how to
make changes to correct the problem.

The StateTip provides a simple but powerful window (shown
on the right of the above example) that synchronizes with all
other active windows.

CDMA Toolkit
Once you are familiar with the
basics of using your Actix
Solution, you may like to use the
CDMA Toolkit utility. CDMA
Toolkit automates key CDMA
optimization tasks, and appears
within the Actix interface as a task
bar on the right of the screen.
The Toolkit uses a task-based
layout to let you perform these
analyses:
Search Window analysis
Neighbor List analysis
Optimize coverage areas
Analyze multi-carrier
statistics
Every analysis contains several web-based reports, each of
which can be saved and printed out for management use.

Integrate reverse and forward link data
The reverse link data from the switch or a protocol analyzer
can be integrated with the drive-test data. This lets you see
how parameters such as EcIo behave at specific mobile
locations.
In Actix Solutions, this technique of integrating data files is
known as 'superstreaming'.
1 Ensure that you have loaded the two files that you want
to synchronize into a superstream.
2 From the View menu, select Superstream to open the
Superstreaming dialog. This dialog shows all currently
available data streams.
3 Change the superstream name from the default to
something more meaningful.
4 Check the box of each data stream that you want to
combine to form a superstream. You can also use the
All or None buttons to change the box settings of every
listed data stream.
5 Click the Settings button. This expands the dialog to
show the Merge Method options.
6 To superstream data from the reverse link and the
forward link, click the Correlated Parameters option.
This lets you select attributes from each stream that
correspond to one another.
7 Highlight the uplink data stream.
8 From the attribute picker button on the right, select
'Cell_PN_Primary'.
9 Highlight the downlink data stream.
10 From the attribute picker, select 'PN_Primary'.
11 Click OK.
The superstream is now generated and appears in the
Workspace Explorer. You can view data from the superstream
in any of the standard data display windows.

Aggregate data
You can select different aggregation modes for the data,
depending upon how you want to view the data. These
aggregation modes are supported:
Location/grid
Time
Message
Distance
To change the aggregation modealso known as the 'binning'
mode:
Preferences dialog.
2 Under the heading Binning, select the appropriate
Binning Mode.

3 Click Apply.

Queries
Actix Solutions provide a querying interface that lets you
construct simple or complex expressions. These expressions
extract meaningful performance data, based on user-defined
thresholds or the value of other expressions.
As an example, you can create a query that returns statistics
for a particular eventsuch as a dropped callfor a given
window in time around that event. This is useful when looking
for data trends.
Queries are created and edited from the Tools menu,
Analysis Manager option. You can create these query types:
Filter queries
Binned queries
Histogram queries
Statistical queries
Crosstab queries
Event queries
You can also:
Perform logical and arithmetic operators
Save queries to a default Workspace
Apply filters to queries
Create a filter
This example query is designed to filter poor quality in CDMA
data.
1 From the Workspace Explorer, right-click on a data
stream and select Filter, then Create a New Filter.

The Filter Wizard opens.
2 Enter 'Poor Quality' as the name of the filter.

3 Click on the right-arrow of the attribute picker and
select CDMA > DownLink Measurements >
ForwardFER.

4 Set the filter operation to 'Greater than (>)'.
5 Set the threshold to '5'.

6 Click OK to close the Wizard.
If you already have a filter applied to the stream, you
will see this dialog:

7 Click Yes.
Any other data display windows update to show the
areas with poor quality.

You can turn off this and any other filters from the
Workspace Explorer, just by clicking on them.

78 Analyzing A and Abis data Actix A Solutions Getting Started
4 Analyzing A and Abis data
There are three main ways you can use your Actix Solution for
PCM Link data analysis:
Using Actix Scenarios
Using user-defined analyses
Developing user-defined analyses
These are explained below:
This is the standard method for PCM Link analysis, and follows
this general pattern:
1 Start your Actix Solution. Do not load a logfile yet.
2 Choose one or more pre-generated Scenarios. For
details, see the section 'Choose A or Abis Scenarios'.
3 Load the logfile to be examined. The default Load
Mode is 'Minimal Load', which avoids loading
unnecessary data from the logfile and reduces the load
time.
4 Select an application pack, narrow the data selection
and display the results in a report.
5 Use the tools available in your Actix Solution to identify
problem areas in the logfile. These tools are described
in Analyzing GSM data and the online help.

time.
4 Use custom reports to analyze data.
Developing user-defined analyses
This is for advanced users who want to expand on the reports
and queries provided as standard, using their own expert
knowledge of the technology and their network.
1 Start your Actix Solution.
2 Select Tools | Preferences, and set Load Mode to
'Full Load'.
3 Load a small example logfile.
4 Write Load Time Queries and Reports as required. For
details, see the online help.
Crosstab and Event queries can be used with A and
Abis data to create suitable call analyses (that is,
queries that can be used with the Statistics Explorer).
5 Set Load Mode back to 'Minimal Load' before
attempting to examine any new logfiles.

Choose A or Abis Scenarios
Scenarios are collections of analyses that can be performed on
any PCM Link data as it is loaded. You select the Scenarios
you need, depending on the tasks you want to perform.
However, the more Scenarios that are selected, the longer the
data takes to load, so only the basic analysis sets are selected
by default.
Note that you must have at least one A or Abis (as
appropriate) Scenario selected for A and Abis analysis
features to work correctly.
For more information on Scenarios, see the online help.
To choose a Scenario
1 From the Tools menu, select Choose Scenario to
open the Attach Load Time Queries dialog.
2 Select one or more appropriate Scenarios and click
OK.

The Statistics Explorer
The Statistics Explorer is a powerful data-manipulation tool
that lets you rapidly pinpoint problems by displaying statistical
data from Crosstab and Event queries. For other features of
the Statistics Explorer, see the online help.
To use the Statistics Explorer
2 Select 'Abis Call Analysis'.
3 Open the Abis file.
4 From the View menu, select Statistics Explorer.
5 From the Queries pane on the left of the Statistics
Explorer, select Analyze Connection Errors or
Analyze Handover Failures. Note that queries
beginning with 'Analyze' can be used for call analysis.
The processed data is now displayed in the Statistics
Explorer.

Abis Call Analysis
Once you have displayed the data for an Abis file within the
Statistics Explorer, you can extract the individual calls for
detailed optimization. You do this by creating a call analysis
stream of selected data to view from the Workspace Explorer.
1 In the Statistics Explorer, select a row of data.
2 Click Analyze.
The stream of the selected data appears in the
Workspace Explorer:

The data in this new stream can now be analyzed using
maps, charts, tables etc.
Filter the Workspace Explorer
Once you have displayed the data for an Abis file within the
Statistics Explorer, you can reduce the quantity of data
displayed in the Workspace Explorer.
1 In the Statistics Explorer, select a row of data.
2 Click Filter.
The Workspace Explorer now only shows data relating
to the row selected in the Statistics Explorer.
3 When you have finished examining the filtered data,
click Filter again to switch off the filtering.

Superstream PCM Link/Drive Test data
PCM datafor example from A, Abis or Gb logfilescan be
combined with drive test data collected at the same time. This
means that the GPS coordinates in the drive test data can be
matched to the uplink information, so the uplink information (or
the difference between uplink and downlink information) can
then be plotted on a map.
To Superstream the data
2 Select 'Abis Call Analysis'.
3 Open the PC Link file and the drive test file to be
superstreamed.
4 From the Tools menu, select Superstream
PCMLink/DT to open the PCM-Link/Drive Test
Superstreaming dialog.
5 Select the appropriate Drive Test stream(s) and PCM-
Link stream(s).
6 Select the appropriate Search Method settings for
synchronizing the data streams.
7 Click OK to begin the superstreaming process.
When the process is complete, the superstream is
displayed in the Workspace Explorer, and the normal
data displays (maps, charts, tables, analysis reports)
may be used to examine the data.

GSM A and Abis pre-configured reports
See the section GSM Application Packs for information on how
to use application packs. A data file must be loaded and a valid
CellRefs file must have been set.
Note that you must select a Scenario for the related application
pack option to be displayed under Tools | Analysis, as not all
A and Abis Scenarios are checked by default.
GSM A application packs
Because an A interface log file carries data for an entire BSC,
it is useful for certain statistical analysis. It provides a broader
scope than Drive Test or Abis data, with more detail than can
be found in the OMC.
A General Analysis
By default, the General Analysis Application Pack is loaded
when you open an A interface logfile. Launched from the
Analysis menu, General Analysis contains a variety of
statistical reports that evaluate how the network is being used.
Each report can be run against the entire file, a single cell or a
selection of cells.
Location Update
Count, percentage and breakdown of Location Update
messages, types and reject causes.
Clear Cause
Cause Code count and percentage for Clear Command
messages. Useful when trying to identify the cause of
dropped calls.

Assignment Failure breakdown.
Channel Assignment by Cell
Assignment message count and percentage for each
cell.
Connection Analysis
Count and percentage of SCCP Connection messages.
Breakdowns of SCCP Services Requested and CSSP
Connection Refused Causes.
Connection Analysis by Cell
Connection statistics for each cell.

A Subscriber Analysis
Subscriber Analysis takes advantage of useful information
encoded in the IMSI and EIMI code. This information is
automatically extracted and new attributes are created in the
Workspace Explorer tree when the file is opened with Full
Load. For example, from the IMEI handset details such as the
TAC (Type Approval Code) can be obtained. The IMSI
contains the subscribers MCC and NCC (Country and
Network codes).
For maximum performance, log files can be opened in
Minimum Load with specific queries enabled to collect this
information. Before loading the log file, select Tools | Choose
Scenario and select Subscriber Analysis. This enables
queries and reports in the Subscriber Analysis application
pack.

shows handovers in tabular view. It is also possible to
open the Excel report and examine a subset of source
and target cells in pivot table view by clicking Show
Excel Report.
SSS Handover Matrix
Inter-BSC Handovers by Source and Target.
GSM Abis application packs
The Abis Interface is a good place to collect high-resolution
data as perceived by real customers. Compared to Drive Test,
one advantage is that it captures uplink measurements as well
as downlink. It is better for statistical analysis because it
measures the network as experienced by real customers,
rather than by a single drive test route. The main disadvantage
is the absence of GPS location information.
Abis Quick Analysis
By default the Quick Analysis application pack is enabled when
you load an Abis log file. It contains a selection of the most
commonly used reports from other application packs.
Traffic Statistics
Setup, TCH and SDCCH statistics by TRX.

For more information on Scenarios, see the online help.
To choose a Scenario
open this dialog:

2 Select one or more appropriate Scenarios and click
OK.

The Protocol Stack Browser
The Protocol Stack Browser allows you to examine Gb
messaging by protocol.
To start the Protocol Stack Browser
1 From the Tools menu, select Preferences and ensure
that, under PCM Link, Load Mode is set to 'Full'.
2 From the Workspace Explorer, right-click on the stream
name and select Display Protocol Stack Browser.

The Protocol Stack Browser window opens:

The upper panel shows a formatted breakdown of
every message, while the bottom panel shows the full
decode for the currently selected message.

You can also use the Sync Msgs button to synchronize
the display with chart windows and with the Message
Browser window to provide a better understanding of
the data.
If you do not intend to continue using the Protocol Stack Browser, then from
the Tools menu, select Preferences, and ensure that under PCM Link,
Load Mode is set to 'Minimal'.
GPRS pre-configured reports
See the section GSM Application Packs for information on how
to use application packs.
A valid CellRefs file does not need to be set when analyzing Gb data files.
Note that you must select a Scenario for the related application
pack option to be displayed under Tools | Analysis, as not all
Scenarios are checked by default.

TCP Traffic Type Analysis
Using the Source and Destination ports from the TCP
header, the traffic type for the data packets can be
analyzed.
UDP Traffic Type Analysis
As above but uses the Source and Destination ports
from the UDP header.
Examine Gb Load Time Queries
If you have selected one or more Scenarios, the related Load
Time Queries are displayed in the Workspace Explorer.

To display a Load Time Query in the Statistics Explorer
1 From the Workspace Explorer, right-click on the
appropriate Load Time Query to open the pop-up
menu.
2 Select Display the Statistics Explorer.

The Statistics Explorer opens with the Load Time
Query selected. All other queries are also displayed in
the Queries panel, and may be selected as required.
Load Time Queries in each Scenario
Gb Signalling Analysis
This Scenario's Load Time Queries are those used in the
application pack of the same name.
Gb Throughput Analysis
The 'Traffic Type' Load Time Queries are those used in the Gb
Throughput Analysis application pack, but there are also eight
other Load Time Queries containing useful information that can
be displayed in the Statistics Explorer.
Gb TCP Session Analysis
Gb Handset Analysis
These last two Scenarios each contain one query. Display one
of these queries in the Statistics Explorer, highlight an
interesting row and click the Analyze button.
In the example below, Gb Handset Analysis has been
displayed in the Statistics Explorer. The user has identified a
high number of PDP Activation Failures for a particular mobile,
and so clicks Analyze.


This generates a new analysis stream for the mobile in
question that can be examined in the Protocol Stack Browser
(without needing to set the Load Mode to 'Full') and the
Message Browser.

Analyze GPRS Drive Test data
You can analyze GPRS Drive Test data using charts, queries
and so on just like any other drive test data.
The data attributes shown below in the box are described in
the online help under GPRS Drive Test Analysis.

Map DT files lacking GPS data
Some GPRS Drive Test files do not contain GPS data. If you
want to display data on a map, you will need to:
1 Create your own GPS data file using your logging tool.
2 Use the Text Import Wizard (File | Import Text File) to
import the log file. The coordinate format defaults to
'WGS84' but you can select any suitable format.
3 Superstream the imported file with the GPRS Drive
Test file (as described in the section Superstream PCM
Link/Drive Test data in the chapter Analyzing A and
Abis data).
You can now plot the superstreamed data attributes on
a map.
