Working with Actix in Practice

Need for process / process presentation

Site Verification
Cluster verification
Network verifiaction

Pre-Launch Optimization
Pre-Launch Optimization is done when Network is built
and integrated, but there is no commercial traffic in it
In GSM coverage is an issue. In UMTS interferance is
critical
Realiability of equipement migh not be as good as in
GSM

VERIFICATION

Efficiency and accuracy of analysis

Standard documentation big amount of data to be analyzed

Global settings
Actix MainUser is in charge of defining:
Thresholds for map plots
Templates for measurement report forms
Many people in different regions using the same tool.
Process is needed

Site Verification (1)

NOKIA Actix User Trainning/Module2.PPT / 01.08.2004 / NN

Both scanner and tracer

measurements

Voice call is suitable to perform the

verification

Ec/Io should be in the range [-2 ;

-4]
Cross-feeders
external interference
SHO functionality

Site Verification (2)

Site should be the only one on air in the network
If not then at least only intra-site adjacences should be
defined in order to prevent the phone to perform handover
to other sites

NOKIA Actix User Trainning/Module2.PPT / 01.08.2004 / NN

Site Verification (3)

Elements to be displayed on the map:
Scanner

RSCP per each SC

RSCP best server

Dominance plot

Ec/Io plot (interferance should be very low if only one site is on air)

Tracer

Display events on the measurement route (SHO, Drop call etc)

RSCP best server

Ec/Io plot

UE TX power

Cluster Verification (1)

10

NOKIA Actix User Trainning/Module2.PPT / 01.08.2004 / NN

Both scanner and tracer

measurements

Data call (high throughtput UL and

DL) to check performance

Cluster is 10 sites more or less

Critical issues are:

Pilot Pollution
Sectors having no dominance
Neighbour definition check

Cluster Verification (2)

Elements to be displayed on the map:
Scanner

RSCP best server

Dominance plot

Ec/Io plot (this should not be worse than -9 if there is no traffic in the NW

Tracer

11

Display events on the measurement route (SHO, Drop call etc)

RSCP best server

Ec/Io plot

UE TX power

NOKIA Actix User Trainning/Module2.PPT / 01.08.2004 / NN

Cluster Verification (3)

12

When pilot pollution is detected documentation about overshooting

SC needs to be provided
RSCP of overshooting SC
Detailed plot of Ec/Io of polluted area

Same issue is for lack of dominance

Network Verification
Final stage
Problem should be fixed in the
two previous stages
Many measurement routes
which can be combined by
superstreaming
