Getting Started
• What is Actix?
• Actix Solutions – RVS
• Installation
• Licencing

Getting Started
Actix is a Post-Processing
tool
• Input:
•Tracer data: NEMO, TEMS, Q-
voice
•Scanner Data
•Traffic records (switch traces), e.g. ACTIX
Ericsson, Motorola SOLUTIONS
•Protocol analyser data A, Abis, Gb
interfaces e.g. Nethawk, Tektronix
• Output:
•Maps
•Charts
•Tables
•Reports
•Diagrams

RVS Suite
• Suitable to analyze measurements of the UMTS radio
interface
• Support a large number of vendor/standard file formats
for DT, trace, protocol analysers
• Provides results in a wide variety of formats
• Good user interface (easy to adapt)
• High level of customisation ability
• Structurised data presentation capabilities
• Fast overview analysis with pre-defined reports

Installation
• Support Windows 2000 and Windows XP operation
systems
• System spec. has a great impact on peformance
• e.g. 3GHz processor with 1 Gb Ram is good !!
• 1.5GHz processor with 512Mb Ram is enough if not
big amount of data is processed
• During installation
• installation of MapX OCX modules take’s time, be
patient
• Post installation
• No need to re-boot

Licencing
Single Machine Licencing:

Dongle + Licence file Not transferrable

Licencing (2)
• Sever Licencing: dinamic allocation of licences

Licencing (3)
• Diagnostics Tool
• Start from actix program group Management ->
AtxDiagnostics
• Generate report => This will show the licensing set-up
• If dongle ID not present in report => server licensing
or dongle not detected
• License definitions
• File ActixLicensing.ini
• Located in <PATH>\Analyzer\Bin\LicenseDefinition
• Contains license server(s) and configuration options
for server license management

Importing Map
• View -> Display New Map
• Mapinfo Interface, add map in
the same way as Mapinfo

Importing Map (2)
• Map should be provided in the same format as for Mapinfo: JPG
file associated with a TAB file which defines the coordinate frame
• Same Command as in Mapinfo are available as well as pop-up
menu when righ-clicking on the map
Map tools

Importing Network elements –
CELLREF
txt file with 3 main sections:
•Header
•Cell definitions
•Sites definitions

Importing Network elements – CELLREF
(2)
• Menu: Tools –> Preference
• Cellref – file location
Filename does not necessary have to be Cellref, neither

has to be in the ”Cellref”folder
Restart of Actix is needed for the changes to take effect

Importing Network elements – CELLREF
(3)
Because of regional settings some computer should have the
comma (”,”) instead of the dot (”.”) as decimal separator
?!?

Importing Network Element
Automatic import
• This feature is very useful when having cell data
changing quite often, which is s very common situation in
a project:
• From Menu Cells -> Network Explorer we can manage
our database of cells and sites.

Labels for Sites and Cells
• Just like in Mapinfo we can define which field to be used
for labels both for Sites and cells. Usually for sites the
Site Name is predefined. For Cells the Cell ID is
predefined and it is convenient to change it to Scrambling
Code (SC)
• Labels can be changed from Layer Control

Learning Actix

Learning Actix
• Scanner files
• Open scanner files
• Information Attributes
• Charts – Tables – Woorkbooks
• Display element synchronisation
• Export data
• Call trace files

• Open call trace file
• Adding attributes to favourites
• Log file browsing
• Protocol browser
• Message browser
• Log file combining
• Super streaming

Scanner files

Open Data files - Scanner
• After importing a file we can

navigate thru the attributes in the
workspace navigator
• Both Scanner and Tracer
(NEMO) are used for
mesurements. Actix can handle
both of them
•Attributes can be conveniently
displayed in different forms and
combined

Most Important Attributes
Ec/io of Best Server (interference
level)
RSCP of Best Server (power

level)
Scrambling code of Best Server

(dominance plot)
Notice that the ”BEST

SERVER” (Nth Nth Best) is
defined and sorted always by
the best Ec/Io

Display on Map - Thresholds
Three different
elements are now
visible on the map
Thresholds for RSCP
Map representation
is very convenient
for displaying
measurements from
a topological point
of view

Modify Ranges And Colors
Right-click on the desired map

element (in this case: RSCP) - >
Modify Ranges
Both levels and colors can be

defined
When the dialog window is closed

settigs must be saved.

Thresholds for RSCP and Ec/Io
RSCP Ec/Io
< -95 poor <-12 bad
[-95;-85] fair [-12;-9] poor
[-85;-75] good [-9;-4] good
>=-75 >= - 4
excellent excellent

Adding more attributes to a map
Only the last added

attribute is visible.
Others are laying
behind

Layer Control and Offset Tool
By mean of the Offset
tool we can have the
traces shifted

Cursor tracing and Lines to Serving
Cells
Placing the cursor over the
trace the value is
automatically displayed
CLicking on any point on the

trace, the lines to best server
(continuos) and second best
server (dashed) are displayed

More important attributes from
Scanner Measurements
RSSI
RSCP for each SC measured
Ec/Io for each SC measured

Emulated 3GPP Attributes
These are based on settings for

SHO parameters which can be
edited in
Tools -> Preferences
and then:
General settings -> WCDMA
We can thus set the same

paramenters which are in the
Network

Topological Attributes
”Serving cell” is in this case the Best
Server

Charts, Tables and Workbooks
Righ-clicking on any attribute we can have a choice of displaying it also on
Charts, Tables and Workbooks (Excel spreadsheets)

Charts, Tables and Workbooks (2)

Synchronization of display elements
• Syncronization can be activated from Tools ->

Preferences (Auto Sync to stream)
• It is not enabled by default: computing power consuming
• Charts, Tables and Maps may display same attributes or
different ones

Export Maps and Charts
• MAPS: There are two options from export.
•Right click on the map and select export map. The map can be
exported as a plain picture file
•Click on ”Layout” on the map window and export as project
document
• CHARTS: Also here there are two choices:

•Right-click on the chart and select Image Export....
•Click on ”Copy” on the chart window and record the image on the
clipboard

Call trace files

Open NEMO File
•In menu ”3G” we can find the same
attributes as in the scanner
measurements
•We don’t have the concept of ”best
server” in tracer measurements.
Instead we have ”active set” and ”
monitored set”
•Same Attributes can have different
name and be found in different
location
• What is impotant here is the TX
power which is not present in the
Scanner

Open NEMO File (2)
• In the menu ”Pilot Measurements”

we find individual SC measurements.

Open NEMO File (3)
• The menu ”Dedicated Radio Link”
contains logical measurements about
KPI’s

Open NEMO File (4)
• The menu ”Uu_RRC”contains
informations about signalling
•BCCH-BCH signaling flows while
the UE is in idle mode
•UL-CCCH and DL-CCCH signalling
flows while the UE is in Cell-FACH
state
•UL-DCCH and DL-DCCH signalling
flows while the UE is in Cell-DCH
state

Open NEMO File (5)
• ”Event data” contains logical event
about call establishment and
Handover as well as PDP context
activation for PS calls
• ”Statistic Data” contains information
about delays
•These two sets of attributes are
suitable for analyzing KPI’s

Adding Attributes to favourites
• You can ”Add To Favourites” those
attributes which are used more
frequently
• In order to have the attributes
saved in ”Favourites” it is necessary
to save the workspace befor exiting
Actix

Signalling and Protocol Stack
• Message Browser and Protocol Stack Browser are useful
tools for displaying the signalling and the sequence of
events for the NEMO trace
• Typical signalling sequence which need to be analysed
are: Call Setup and Handover Loop

Message Browser

Message Browser (2)
1. In the left part is the list of main objects which are
displayed in detail in the right part
2. Signalling event are indicated with RRC UL or RRC DL
3. Some event are traced from the mobile but they are not
signalling in this case Ec/No measurements
4. THe red bar indicates the extension of the script of each
element
5. This is raw messaging. Knowledge of the protocol is
needed to identify important elements (in this case,
event e1a)

Protocol Stack Browser

Protocol Stack Browser (2)
• Protocol Stack Browser shows only the signalling.
• In the upper part messages are displayed and associated
to L3 events
• Protocol Stack Browser is an easier tool for browsing the
signalling
• It can be syncronized with Maps Charts and Tables

Superstreaming
• It is reccomended not to have very long logfiles when collecting data
• Smaller logfiles can be recombined with the superstream tool

Superstreaming (2)
• Tools -> Create Superstream
•Logfiles can be selected
individually
•Superstream is available in the
workspace browser
•Superstreming does not create a
bigger logfile but rather combine
the existing data using pointers.

Working with Actix in practice
Module 2

Content
• Learning Actix
practice

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

Standard process
SITE CLUSTER NETWORK

VERIFICATION VERIFICATION 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)
• 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 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

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)
• Ec/Io plot
• UE TX power

Cluster Verification (1)
• 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

Elements to be displayed on the map:
Scanner
• Dominance plot
• Ec/Io plot (this should not be worse than -9 if there is no traffic in the NW
Tracer
• Display events on the measurement route (SHO, Drop call etc)
• Ec/Io plot
• UE TX power

• 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

Practical Exercises
Module 3

Content
• Learning Actix
practice

Practical Exercises
• Site Verification
• Cluster Verification
• SHO Analysis

Site Verification
• Site to be verified is Erstein
• Following issues need to be verified:
• All sectors are performing normally and radiating
• Check cross-feeder
• Voice call establishes normally
• SHO occours successfully
• Receiving end of Node be is performing normally
(MHA, cabling receiver)

• Maps to be saved for Site Verification reports
• RSCP and Ec/Io from Scanner (best server) and NEMO
(stronger in the active set)
• Dominance plot from Scanner and NEMO
• Tx Power
• Active set count from NEMO

Cluster verification
• Check for Pilot pollution
• Check for sites with no dominance
• Find non working sites
• Check performance (throughtput)
• Check what is the minumun value of RSCP during
successfull SHO

• PIlot pollution is detected with the following criteria:
RSCP > -92 and Ec/Io < -9
• Sectors not operating can be detected looking at the list

of measured SC in scanner measurements

Binned Query for Pilot Pollution

Binned Query for Pilot Pollution (2)
• Element must be picked from
list Data Format
must be selected
• Notice that the two part of the Query’s
expression separated by Description
the”AND” are enclosed in
brackets
• After selecting elements from
Nth Nth Best, the index must
be specified

Binned Query for Pilot Pollution (3)

SHO analysis
Check what is the minumun value of RSCP
during successfull SHO
• This kind of analysis can be performed exporting attribute
data to Excel Workbook
• First thing to do is to load all NEMO files (*.dt1) and
superstream them
• From the superstrem we can export some attributes to
Excel WOrkbook

SHO analysis (2)
• Attributes to be exported:
• 3G UMTS -> Event Data -> Handoff Events -> Uu_HandoffOK
• 3G UMTS -> Downlink Measurements -> Uu_ActiveSet_RSCP ->
Uu_ActiveSet_RSCP_0
• 3G UMTS -> Downlink Measurements -> Uu_ActiveSet_EcNo ->
Uu_ActiveSet_EcNo_0
• Data Testing -> Application Measurements -> App_Throughput_DL
• In Excel Workbook
• Data -> Filter – Autofilter
• In Column Uu_HandoffOK select Handover Ok
• In Column App_Thgroughtput_DL select Custom -> is greater than
120
• Data -> Sort
• Sort by.. RSCP

Advanced features
Module 4

Content
• Learning Actix
practice

Advanced features
• Network Images
• Binning
• Queries and macros
• Stateforms
• Reports
• Actix directory hierarchy

Network Images
• A collection of a large number/large size log files for the
purpose of looking at specific attribute/parameters.
• single data file (.dat file) that contains the results of a
series of queries run on a collection of logfiles.
• logfiles can be added to the Network Image, increasing
the size of the data file.
• E,g, log files collected in monthly images to evaluate

monthly performace.

Network Image wizard
• Easiest way created with Network Image Wizard
• Provides a set of pre-defined templates with defined
parameters / attributes included in the network image
• A created image needs to be “attached” to a workspace in
order to activate the image in the workspce
• This allows “batch-loading”. of data from a collection of
logfiles.
• Batch-loading allows you to import a small number of
important data parameters without needing to load all of
each file.
• After batch load, attributes can be investigated in same
manner as any attribute (e.g. plotted on maps)

Binning
• A way to aggregate data together according to different
criterias
Criteria Criteria
Data
Bin

Binning (2) Criterias
• Time
• Data combined according to time criteria e.g. 1 second
• Suitable as “default”
• Location
• Data combined according to a spatial grid (definable grid size)
• If data from different dates are to be combined
• Distance
• Data combined according to a fixed spatial distance
• Level out location device logging problems
• Message
• Data combined according to number of message
• Local trouble shooting / e.g. setting to value 0 means no
aggregation take place (i.e. raw data)

Queries and Macros

Queries and Macros (2)
• Queries are saved within the workspace

• In the tag ”Existing Analisies” we can find some pre-
defined Queries which can be used as template. This is
very useful since this part is not very well documented

Stateforms
• Stateforms are are a collection of pre-defined
windows/pop-ups designed to visualize particular
information from log file data
• UMTS Data Event Navigator
• UMTS Data Session
• UMTS Throughput
• UMTS Top 10 Scan Measurements
• UMTS UE Active + Monitored Set
• UMTS UE Call Information
• UMTS UE Measurements Charts
• UMTS UE Radio Parameters
• UMTS UE Transport Channel Info
• UMTS Voice Event Navigator
Stateforms (2)

Stateforms (3)
• With this set of tools we can displays events in a for which
is similiar to what we have in the NEMO ”Replay” Feature.
• Some of the element can be activated by right-clicking on
the file lement in the workspace Explorer and then
”Display form”
• Othr elements can be taken from Menu: Tools
• ”Display Replay” allows to replay the session at the
desired speed

Reports
• Actix is capable of generating Excel-based reports

• Reports need to be customized according to the
technology and the signalling in use
• Reports provide advanced KPI analysys for System
Performance Test
• Realiability of such reports is still a major issue......

Actix Directory Hierarchy

Directories to notice
• StateForms
• Workspaces
• Reports
• Events
• Bin
• Cellref
• Custom Attributes

Directories to notice (2)
• StateForms
• Contains predefined stateform definitions
• Workspaces
• Contains predefined workspaces.
• Reports
• Contains pre-defined reports for different
technologies/systems
• Events
• Contain pre-defined event definitions

Ec/Io Threshold for Delay (dB)
• Used to calculate the threshold at which multipath components are counted in the delay
histograms for the Active, Candidate, Neighbor, and Remaining sets from the searcher
finger data.
Scan Resolution (chips)
• Defines how often measurements are reported, measured in chips.
Number of multipaths
• Defines the number of multipaths that will be extracted and displayed in the Workspace
Explorer.
Scanner Scan Resolution
• Defines how often scanner measurements are reported, measured in chips.
Pilot Increment
• Used to calculate the PN Offset (units of 64 chips) associated with the PN Phase (units of
chips) data reported in the CDMA air-interface messaging. PN Offset is calculated by
dividing the PILOT_PN_PHASE by 64 and then rounding to the closest integer multiple of
the PN increment entered. This feature forces all PN Offsets calculated to be part of a
valid PN reuse plan.

Issues before starting

Before starting using actix
• Pre-processing of dt files
• Backup of configuration files
• Attributes

Pre-processing and backup of
important data

Pre-processing of DT files
• Proprioity formats
• TEMS proprority file format needs pre-exporting to text
file
• Controlled with associated template file
• Functionality of TEMS WCDMA
• Performance aspects
• Files v. ram memory i.e. trade off that can limit
number of log files simultaneously open alt. size of log
file
• Hence, different vendors, different log file size.
• Scan file typically 10-400 Mb
• Trace file – 10 – 50 Mb
• Size dependent on measurement equipment number, equipment
settings and route length.
• =========Worth consider e.g. route
length=========

Backup of configuration files
• Session file
• here actix settings are stored e.g. preferences, which threshold
used, maps, map layers, map zoom (xml format)
• If any changes suddenly makes actix hang, this is useful to
restore functionality, i.e. that you can start actix again !!!
• <PATH>\Analyzer\Bin\AppSettings.dat
• cell ref file

• Network configuration data (file is overwritten when changed!!)
• <PATH>\Analyzer\Bin\CellRefs\cellrefs.txt
• threshold files
• <PATH>\Analyzer\Bin\FormatGroups\UserSettings\
• Directory empty until user make changes
• license file
• <PATH>\Analyzer\Bin\lsrvrc

Attributes
• Attribute is actix concept of data items,
• An example is CPICH Ec/Io for best server
• An attribute can be
• generic or
• customised
• Attributes are stored as xml in either of these locations

depending on origin
• <PATH>\Actix\Analyzer\Bin\Attributes
• <PATH>\Actix\Analyzer\Bin\CustomAttributes

Attributes
• Large amount of attributes, not all necessary at same
time
• Utilisation of Favourites helps “filtering” attribute amount

in workspace explorer

Workspace

Workspace
• The workspace constitutes all data display windows within
the Actix application window, together with the panel on
the left called the Workspace Explorer.
• Default is empty, except workspace explorer
• Saving workspace ===
• Window layout and representation
• Loaded data files
• Queries
• reports

Workspace
• Workspace provide a way to utilise different window / panels setups
for streamlining work, e.g. not to open samel log files /windows all the
time
NOTE!
Hence saving workspace saves also defined/used queries/reports.
If an entity is opened with a different definition than in the used
workspace there is a risk of corruption of the workspace.
Example, a workspace with queries/reports of vendor A is open.
Running a report from vendor B will give strange results and
overwrite/corrupt quereis

Workspace
Actix soltion may have sets of generic workspaces and
these are found in location
• <PATH>\Analyzer\Workspaces

Cellrefs structure modifications

Cellrefs structure modifications
• Cell ref structure modifications (how to add attributes

to cell ref file, if working)
• Should be done with care / file backup necessary !!

Modifying CellRefs fields
• The strutcture of cellrefs is defined in
• <PATH>\Nalalyzer\Bin\DefNetworkData.ini
• This file can be modified to reflect additional fields in

Cellrefs file.
• Changes can then be displayed .e.g. on map as
additional information.

DefNetworkData.ini Structure
• Comments (preceeded by ;)
• Network Elements section ([Network Elements])
• Network elements and their corresponding field
names
• Fields section ([Fields])
• Field definitions
