Trace Server The data collection server on the LTE network is used to
collect the LTE analysis data.
For details about Trace Server, see U2000/M2000 Trace
Server User Guide on U2000/M2000 Product
Documentation.
RAN SAU The RAN SAU is a service aware unit. When the SAU
board supports the data forwarding function, you can
deploy the RAN SAU software on the RH2288 server,
obtain raw data forwarded by the SAU board, pre-process
the data, and generate analysis data that meets the Nastar
requirements.
LTE SAU The SAU for LTE is an optional component of the Nastar
system. It is deployed at the OSS for LTE as an ATAE
server or HP PC server. The LTE SAU preprocesses the
raw data from the eNodeB and generates the data required
by Nastar to analyze.

Application Scenarios
According to the 3GPP specifications, trace data can be used in the following scenarios:
l Multi-vendor UE validation
l Subscriber complaint
l Malfunctioning UE
l Checking radio coverage
l Testing a new feature
l Fine-tuning and optimization of algorithms/procedures
l Analyzing drop calls in E-UTRAN
l Periodical sampling of network performance
Trace Objects
According to the 3GPP specifications, trace objects are classified into single-subscriber trace
objects and device trace objects.
l Single-subscriber trace: NEs are notified of the information "IMSI+TR" of the mobile
subscribers to be traced, and then trace the call-related signaling information of these
subscribers.
l Device trace: NEs are notified of the information "Cell ID+TR" or "MME ID+TR" of the
devices to be traced, and then trace the call-related signaling information of all mobile
subscribers served by these devices.
Trace Content
According to the 3GPP specifications, trace content is managed by the following trace levels:
maximum, medium, and minimum.
l Maximum: All signaling information generated during each call process of a subscriber is
traced and the related raw code streams are recorded as ASN.1 codes.
l Medium: Only the key signaling information generated during each call process of a
subscriber is traced and the related key information elements (IEs) are recorded.
l Minimum: Signaling information generated during each call process of a subscriber is
sampled and the related key IEs are recorded.
NOTE
The minimum trace level records only a little signaling information, and therefore is not recommended.
NOTE
Cell trace and single-subscriber trace are not in any binding relationship, and therefore can be enabled
simultaneously. However, an eNodeB will start flow control when its CPU load exceeds 80%, which causes
data loss and consequently affects the analysis accuracy of the Nastar.

Technical Specifications
NOTICE
l The service specifications of the Nastar depend on the network model and traffic model in
addition to the network scale. You need to calculate the service specifications again if the
onsite network model and traffic model are not the same as those supported by the Nastar by
default.
l This section describes the service specifications of the Nastar for a single analysis task. When
multiple analysis tasks are executed concurrently, the service specifications of the Nastar
will be decreased.
l If GSM/UMTS dual-mode base stations are deployed on the live network, the hardware
configuration must be calculated separately for GSM and UMTS.

Nastar System
The Nastar system consists of multiple physical entities such as the Nastar server, eSAU, SAU,
RAN SAU, LTE SAU, and PS SAU.
Basic Data
Basic data includes configuration data, engineering parameters, map files, and other data such
as NE group information, terminal information, VIP information, complaining subscriber
information, feature matrix, and mailbox information.
Analysis Data
Analysis data includes the MR data, CHR data, and GSM performance data.
MR Data
MR data file: It is generated in the unit of measurement objects based on the measurement that
is triggered periodically or by specific events. It records network environment features such as
serving cell RSCP, serving cell Ec/No, DL BLER, neighboring cell RSCP and neighboring cell
Ec/No for a certain place at a certain time during a call.
The MR data is recorded in the unit of measurement objects for a certain place at a certain time.
Therefore, a large amount of collected MR data can effectively show the network traffic
distribution, signal coverage, and other network indicators. In this way, the Nastar can perform
network performance analysis from the network perspective.
MR data is generated by base station controllers, and is saved on OMU boards in binary format.
SAU boards then download the MR data from the OMU boards and save the data.
CHR Data
CHR data file: It records key information such as access and release time, access and release
cell, and access and release cause in the unit of calls.
The CHR data is recorded in the unit of calls. Therefore, the CHR data effectively shows the
subscriber behavior on the network and enable the Nastar to perform network performance
analysis from the subscriber perspective.
CHR data is generated by base station controllers, and is saved on OMU boards in binary format.
SAU boards then download the CHR data from the OMU boards and save the data. UMTS event-
based CHRs are saved directly on SAU boards after they are generated. The Nastar cannot obtain
UMTS event-based CHRs if SAU boards are not installed.
Basic subscription
Basic data subscription is used to turn on the NE data switches on the live network so that NEs
can generate raw data and to enable the data preprocessing functions of the SAU and eSAU so
that the raw data generated by NEs can be preprocessed to the analysis data that meets the Nastar
requirements.
Application subscription
Application data subscription is used to deliver specific rule files to NEs so that NEs can generate
raw data that meets requirements.
OSS
OSS refers to the Operating Support System. On the GSM, UMTS, LTE or PS Core network,
the U2000/M2000 is used.
IMSI
IMSI refers to the international mobile subscriber identity. An IMSI is a 15-digit string consisting
of digits 0 to 9. The structure of the IMSI from left to right is MCC+MNC+MSIN. MNC and
MSIN form the NMSI.
l MNC refers to the mobile network code, that is, the PLMN code of a mobile subscriber.
PLMN refers to the public land mobile network.
l MSIN refers to the mobile subscriber identification number.
l NMSI refers to the national mobile subscriber identification and uniquely identifies an MS
in a country.
Huawei provides a dedicated solution to secure IMSI information. When the anonymous policy
is enabled on the network where the Nastar is deployed, first encrypt IMSIs using the anonymous
policy tool. The Nastar analyzes services based on the encrypted IMSIs.
IMEI-TAC
International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) uniquely identifies an MS.
An IMEI consists of 15 digits ranging from 0 to 9 and is composed of the following four parts:
l Type approval code (TAC): consists of six digits and is used to identify an MS type.
l Final assembly code (FAC): consists of two digits and is used to identify a vendor.
l Serial Number (SNR): consists of six digits and is used to uniquely identify an MS when
the TAC and FAC of two MSs are the same.
l SSP: a spare bit, which consists of only one digit and is reserved for use.
In an IMEI, the first eight digits that are composed of TAC and FAC uniquely identify an MS
type, and the later digits from 9 to 15 uniquely identify an MS of a certain type.
The Nastar analyzes only MSs of a certain type identified by the first eight digits that are
composed of TAC and FAC. In the Nastar window, IMEI-TAC refers to these eight digits.
Peer Number
Peer number refers to the phone number of the peer end during a call, such as the fixed-line
phone number or mobile number. For example, if the calling party is being analyzed, the peer
end number is the phone number of the called party.
Huawei provides a dedicated solution to secure MSISDN information. When the anonymous
policy is enabled on the network where the Nastar is deployed, first encrypt MSISDNs using
the anonymous policy tool. The Nastar analyzes services based on the encrypted MSISDNs.
Layers
Layers are classified into site layers, service layers and map layers.
l Map layers are generated when the map files are imported, such as street map layer and
river map layer.
l Site layers are generated when the engineering parameter files are imported, such as base
station layer.
l Service layers refer to the layers with counters or grids in the network geographical
observation function.
Equivalent NE
Equivalent NE is a term introduced to calculate the network scale for the Nastar.
BHCA
BHCA refers to busy hour call attempts, that is, the number of calls within one busiest hour.
This counter can reflect influences on the performance of the Nastar and SAU of a user's network
in different traffic models. This helps to check whether the Nastar and SAU can process data
for a specific network scale and traffic model. Traffic model changes cause BHCA changes.
Users need to expand the capacity if the processing capability of the Nastar fails to meet BHCA
requirements.

Prerequisites
You have obtained relevant information includes the server running the eSAU software.
Information includes the IP address, user name and password for FTP service, and ports.
Context
NOTICE
The Nastar, eSAU, and xSAU communicate with each other based on security protocols (SSL/
SSH protocols) by default to ensure data confidentiality and integrity. The common plaintext
data transfer mode does not provide high security. Before changing the network communication
mode from the security mode to the common mode, you need to obtain a written authorization
from the customer. (A standard authorization must contain the following information: product
or item name, purpose, content, range, time restriction, and other conventions.)
Communication modes among Nastar components (including the Nastar, eSAU, and xSAU)
must be consistent, and the communication modes of external components (such as the U2000/
M2000 and NEs) must also be consistent with the Nastar communication mode. When the
communication mode of one of the Nastar components is switched, those of others also need to
be switched.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Maintenance > OSS Information Management.

You configure the eSAU information The eSAU modification window will be
firstly, displayed. Please perform Step 2.
You modify the configured eSAU 1. Click eSAU in the navigation tree in the OSS
information, Information Management window.
2. Click Modify.
3. Perform Step 2.
Step 2 In the upper area of the right pane, set basic eSAU server information so that the system can
identify the server, as shown in Figure 2-5.
Parameter Description
Port Number of the port for logging in to the server. The default port number is
30010.
SSL Port Number of the port for logging in to the server by the security mode. The
default port number is 30110.
Step 3 In the lower area of the right pane, set FTP information so that the system can collect data from
the eSAU server using FTP.
Parameter Description
Port FTP port of the server. The default port number is 22.
User Name Name of the user for connecting to the FTP service. The default user is
ftpuser.
NOTE
You are advised to use the preset FTP user account of the Nastar. If you use any other
user account, the Nastar may run improperly.
Parameter Description
Protocol l SFTP: encrypted FTP transfer, which requires the support from the FTP
server. By default, the secure transmission mode (SFTP) is selected.
l FTP: non-encrypted and common FTP mode.
NOTE
The FTP protocol has security risks. You are advised to use security protocols, such
as SFTP and FTPS.If you need to use the insecure transmission mode (FTP), contact
Huawei engineers.
Step 4 Optional: In the Key Info area, set the authentication key information of the Nastar and eSAU.
Table 2-7 describes key-related parameters.
NOTE
To improve the system security, you need to change the initial authentication key as quickly as possible. In
routine maintenance, you need to change the passwords periodically (at an interval of 3 or 6 months) to avoid
security risks, such as violent password cracking.
If you modify the authentication key of the esau and Nastar, you should also modify the authentication key of
the xSAU, otherwise, the xSAU will fail to access the Nastar. See Changing the Authentication Key of the
xSAU in the corresponding Nastar Administrators Guide to modify the xSAU authentication key.
Parameter Description
Allow modifying the key Allows you to modify key information after this parameter is
selected.
Old key Indicates that you need to enter the existing key before
modification.
NOTE
l The default authentication key is ei*b+@b#6Nh(tS1j.
l The new cipher key must contain 16 characters and all types of the
following characters:
l At least one digit
l At least one lowercase letter
l At least one uppercase letter
l At least a special character, such as space and the following
symbols: ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = + \ | [ { } ] ; : " , < . > / ?
The special character space cannot be placed at the end of the
cypher key.
New key Indicates that you need to enter the new key after modification.
Confirm key Indicates that you need to re-enter the new key.
Validity period Indicates the validity period of the key. The system displays
information prompting you to change the key after the validity
period elapses.

Prerequisites
l You have configured the OSS information through the OSS information management
function.
l You are authorized to query configuration data.
Context
The collecting and importing principles of the Nastar system are as follows:
l Collecting:
The Nastar automatically collects configuration data after the OSS and NE information
have been configured. By default, the start time for collecting configuration data is the start
time of the data collection service, and the period is 6 hour. For example, the start time of
the data collection service is 6:00, so the next execution time is 12:00. The start time of the
data collection service is the same as the start time of the system service.
After clicking Immediately Collect Configuration Data on the RAN NE List tab page
of OSS information management function, the system will immediately collects
configuration data in the OSS instead of collecting the data until the default time. If the
system is executing another collection task, the task that you trigger manually will be
automatically executed after the running task is complete.
l Importing: When detecting the configuration data, the system will import it to the database
automatically.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance Management. The Data Maintenance
Management window is displayed.
Step 2 In the Data Maintenance Management window, set Data Type > System Type > ***
Configuration Data on the left navigation tree.
Step 3 Set Select Condition on the Query Data tab page.

You can query the configuration data of day-level.
2. Set a time segment only after you select Is time limit required. If no time limit is required
for the query, you need not set this parameter.
3. Select the NE object to be queried in the NE object navigation tree.
Step 4 Click Query.
In the right pane, check whether the configuration data has been imported into the Nastar
database.
l In the result list, NEs with data are listed as well as the start time and end time. The start time
and end time indicate when services are performed, not the time when the configuration data
is imported.
l On the NE Name tab page, day-level detailed data about each NE with data is displayed on
a separate tab page.
On the tab page, green grids indicate that data is available, and white grids indicate that data
is not available.
If you fail to query configuration data provided that the OSS is configured and the configuration
result is normal, contact Huawei technical support engineers.

Context
Nastar provides two modes for viewing analysis results on a map, as shown in Figure 2-13.
Prerequisites
l The PC is connected to the Internet.
l The Google Earth is installed in the PC.
Context
The principles for displaying the Nastar data on the Google Earth are as follows:
l After the engineering parameters are read, the geographic data is displayed on the scale of
2,600 meters at heights and with the last cell in the engineering parameter list being in the
center by default.
l The Nastar data can be displayed on the Google Earth synchronously. The geographic data
is displayed on the scale of 2,600 meters at heights with the selected cell being in the center.

----End
Prerequisites
A map file in .wor or .tab format is available on the PC.
NOTE
l Before importing a TAB map file, you must verify that a DAT or DBF file that has the same file name as
the TAB map file exists in the directory for saving map files. If such file does not exist, converting file
format fails.
l Before importing a WOR map file, you must verify that the TAB map files that form the WOR map file
exist in the directory for saving map files. If such files do not exist, converting file format fails.
Context
It takes a long time to import a WOR or TAB map file. If users on multiple clients attempt to
import the same map file, the work efficiency is low.
To solve this problem, the Nastar allows users to convert a WOR or TAB map file to an SXWU
map file and import the file because the Nastar can quickly identify and import SXWU map files
and allows multiple users to share the SXWU map files. This greatly improves the efficiency of
importing map files. It is recommended that the map files be converted by one person, and then
be shared to others.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Tools > Convert Map on the menu bar.
Step 2 In the displayed Parameter Config dialog box, set the conversion parameters.
l Maps Path: selects a WOR or TAB map file.
l Save Path: sets the save path after format conversion.
l Save Name: sets the file name after format conversion.
The file after format conversion is saved in a folder, which contains multiple files. In the folder,
the File Name.sxwu file is used to import map data.
----End
Prerequisites
A WOR, TAB, or SXWU map file is available on the PC.
NOTE
l Before importing a TAB map file, you must verify that a DAT or DBF file that has the same file name as
the TAB map file exists in the directory for saving map files. If such file does not exist, converting file
format fails.
l Before importing a WOR map file, you must verify that the TAB map files that form the WOR map file
exist in the directory for saving map files. If such files do not exist, converting file format fails.
l Before importing a SXWU map file, you must verify that the SXWU map file exists in the directory for
saving map files. If such a file does not exist, the import fails.
Context
NOTICE
l When performing operations in the GIS window, you are advised not to import or load map
files repeatedly. This is to prevent any unknown impact.
l If you import WOR or TAB map files whose total size exceeds 200 MB, the import speed is
low and the system running speed is decreased after the import because the map files contain
a large amount of vector information. You are advised to import only several key TAB map
files required for service analysis. Alternatively, you can convert WOR or TAB map files
into SXWU map files before you import the files, thereby improving the import speed. For
details, see Converting the Map File Format.
Procedure
Step 2 Click on the toolbar. The Open the map dialog box is displayed.
Step 3 Select a wor, tab, or sxwu map file.
Step 4 Click Open.

minimize the distortion of geographic observation data displayed on a grid map in the GIS
by properly setting the origin (by default, the system uses the first site information record
in the engineering parameters as the origin).
l The system maintains only the origin parameters that you have set during the last month
and deletes all the other historical origin parameter settings. If the origin parameters are
not set over one month, the system displays and maintains the latest origin parameter
settings until you set new origin parameters.
NOTICE
l If the live network spans many latitudes and longitudes, you are advised to specify the
location, which is indicated by a proper latitude and longitude, as the origin for grid-based
geographic observation during the initial Nastar deployment.
l If the engineering parameters of the live network need to be updated frequently (due to
operations such as site deployment and reparenting), you are advised to specify the location,
which is indicated by a proper latitude and longitude as the origin for grid-based geographic
observation.
Procedure
Step 1 In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, double-click System
Function > Geo-Location Parameter Management.
Step 2 In the displayed Geo-Location Parameter Management window, view the existing origin

NOTICE
l The names of fields in the first line cannot be changed.
l The formats of fields in the second line cannot be changed.
l The fields in the third line are cell information examples for your reference.
Function Description
l Basic data subscription is used to turn on the data switches of NEs on the live network so
that NEs can generate raw data.
l Application data subscription is used to deliver specific rule files to NEs so that NEs can
generate raw data that meets the analysis requirements. It also enables the data
preprocessing functions of the SAU and eSAU so that the raw data generated by NEs can
be preprocessed and the analysis data meets the Nastar analysis requirements.
About the conditions and purposes of applying basic subscription and application subscription
for different themes, refer to 2.6.4 Appendix: List of Data Subscription Function of All the
Analysis Function.
Scenarios
The analysis data subscription is a function with a high security level. In normal cases, this
operation is performed by the following roles:
l Administrator: has the permission to query and set the subscription status of all NEs and
VIP group users.
l Common user: has the permission to query the subscription status of only specified NEs
and VIP group users.
NOTE
You can choose Security > Security Management in the main window of the Nastar and set the rights of
users in the displayed window. By allocating the permissions for managing subscriber data subscription
and for viewing and operating NE and VIP groups, you can control the permissions of users to subscribing
to data related to different NEs and VIP groups.
Figure 2-16 shows the application scenarios for the two roles to use the analysis data subscription
function.
Prerequisites
l You have the permissions to manage analysis data subscription. Permissions on data
subscription management include the permission on data subscription tasks, permission on
analysis tasks (such as VIP analysis tasks), and permission on operation objects (such as
NEs, NE groups, VIP subscribers, and VIP groups). Data subscription tasks cannot be
successfully issued if you are granted only the permission on data subscription tasks.
l The OSS and NEs involved in an analysis task have been created, and the SAU of each NE
has been configured. For detailed operations, see 2.3 Configuring OSS and NE
Information.
l Configuration data has been imported. For details, see 2.5.2 Checking the Integrity of
Configuration Data.
Context
The administrator needs to obtain the NE information and Nastar analysis theme information on
the network before basic subscription of analysis data. Then, the administrator can turn on the
data switches of the selected NEs for corresponding analysis themes in batches based on the
obtained information.
NOTE
l If the NE information (for example, NE FDN) is changed, you need to issue the basic data subscription
command again.
l If NE information is changed, you can click Refresh in the Data Subscription Management window
to update NE information displayed on the client. This ensures that subscription tasks can be
successfully delivered to NEs whose information has been changed.

If you need to export only some records, select them in the right list, right-click, choose Save As from the
shortcut menu, and click Save. Then, you can view the records in your local PC.
Step 6 Click Set. The Basic Subscription Settings dialog box is displayed.
Step 7 Set the data switch status of each analysis theme to ON.
Certain analysis themes use data of the same type. For example, complaint analysis, VIP analysis, and cell
performance analysis use the CHR data. If you change the status of the data switch for a type of data in
one analysis theme, the status of the data switch for this type of data in all other analysis themes changes
accordingly. For example, the status of the data switch for CHR data in both VIP analysis and cell
performance analysis is changed to ON if you change the status of the data switch for CHR data in complaint
analysis support to ON.
The advanced parameter settings will affect the content of the data generated by the NE. For
example, set the advanced parameters of VIP Analysis Data (CHR-PS) in the GSM network.
l Set the thresholds about *** Threshold parameter. After subscribing successfully, the CHR
data will be generated by the NEs in accordance with the configured thresholds.
l For details about all the advanced parameters, refer to the NE product documentation. For
details about all the signaling message, refer to the 3GPP.
NOTE
l If the icon following a data type is grey, you do not need to set advanced parameters for this type of
data or the advanced parameter setting function is unsupported.
l If data subscription is enabled, you can set the check box status corresponding to a parameter as required.
The check box status includes:
l : indicates that the delivery of this parameter is enabled. When subscription data is delivered, the NE
delivers the corresponding data or turns on the corresponding switch.
l : indicates that the delivery of this parameter is disabled. When subscription data is delivered, the NE
does not deliver the corresponding data or turns off the corresponding switch.
The Nastar starts to deliver commands to the NEs to turn on their data switches. The operation
information is displayed in the Log Info area.

2.12 FAQs
This section describes the problems and solutions to the FAQs when using the Nastar, and also
provides methods for common operations.
Symptom
After the Nastar client was started on a PC running the Windows operating system, the
communication between the Nastar client and server was abnormal when I attempted to log in
to the Nastar client, and consequently logging in to the client failed. After the communication
between the client and server was restored, I successfully logged in to the Nastar client but the
interface for analysis task management was blank.
Handling Procedure
Method 1
Do not perform any operation in the Are you sure you want to log out of the
terminal? dialog box displayed after the communication between the Nastar client and server
becomes abnormal. Wait until the Nastar client and server are automatically reconnected and
the Nastar client is automatically started. Then, wait approximately 5 minutes before you perform
any operation. Otherwise, some functions may fail to run properly.
Method Two
Click Yes in the Are you sure you want to log out of the terminal? dialog
box displayed after the communication between the Nastar client and server becomes abnormal.
Check that the PC running the client software can properly communicate with external networks.
Then, log in to the Nastar client again.
Symptom
The Nastar window stays in the Processing state for a long time during the data subscription on
the Nastar client. That is, the subscription status icon is .
Cause
l The eSAU service restarts or experience an exception.
The eSAU service is stopped or experiences an exception, causing communication
interruption between the Nastar and eSAU. After the eSAU service restarts, it does not send
the subscription success message before the restart to the Nastar. As a result, the
subscription status is Processing.
l Other causes.
Solution
1. Check the log and locate the faulty node (such as eSAU).
2. Restart the eSAU service. Then, check the status of the eSAU service to ensure that the
eSAU service is functioning properly.
3. Execute the subscription task again. For details, see 2.6 Subscribing to Analysis Data.
If... Then...
Prerequisites
You have the operation authority as user Administrator to change VIP subscriber identity
information.
Scenario Description
Usually, the Nastar analyzes plaintext subscriber identity information, such as the IMSI,
MSISDN, and IMEI. If a privacy and security policy for subscriber identity anonymization is
implemented on the network that houses the Nastar system, all subscriber identity information,
including the IMSI, MSISDN, and IMEI, is anonymized. In this case, the Nastar obtains and
analyzes the anonymized subscriber identity information.
If the privacy and security policy for subscriber identity anonymization on the network is
changed, the performance of the VIP and complaint analysis functions provided by the Nastar
is affected. Following describes the scenarios in which the privacy and security policy for
subscriber identity anonymization is changed:
l Scenario 1: A user implements the privacy and security policy for subscriber identity
anonymization on the network that has no privacy and security policy for subscriber identity
anonymization.
l Scenario 2: A user has implemented the privacy and security policy for subscriber identity
anonymization, but the encryption key for anonymizing subscriber identity information is
changed.
l Scenario 3: A user stops the privacy and security policy for subscriber identity
anonymization on the network.
l When the subscriber identity anonymization switch on the network side is turned on or off,
or when the encryption key on the network side is changed, the encryption key stored in
theNastar system is different from the encryption key stored on the network side, and the
Nastar system cannot properly obtain or analyze information. For example, when the
encryption key is changed, the subscriber IMSI stored in the Nastar system is different from
the subscriber IMSI stored on the network side, and one VIP subscriber is mapped to
multiple anonymized subscriber IMSIs. This produces inaccurate results for VIP and
complaint analysis tasks.
l The impacts of the preceding changes on the analysis service performance of the Nastar
system are the same.
Troubleshooting Methods
Perform the following procedures based on how the change of the privacy and security policy
for subscriber identity anonymization impacts the results of VIP and complaint analysis tasks.
4 Suspend or delete existing VIP and For detailed operations, see the Follow-up
complaint analysis tasks Procedure in 2.8 Creating an Analysis Task.
5 Re-create VIP and complaint For detailed operations, see 2.8 Creating an
analysis tasks Analysis Task.
NOTE
When performing a complaint analysis task, you need
to import the new identity information of the
complaining subscriber into this task.
Scenario Description
The Nastar has configured the information about an NE and performed related analysis on this
NE. If this NE is changed, the Nastar cannot identify the matching relationship of this NE before
and after change. As a result, the Nastar cannot analyze the historical data of this NE.
Solution
To ensure that the Nastar can analyze the historical data of the changed NE, you need to perform
the following steps to configure the matching relationship of this NE before and after change
(taking the RAN NEs as an example) :
Symptom
If the information that a user inputs into the Nastar by using a PC contains characters of a non-
specified language, the system displays an error message.
If you name a new task using traditional Chinese characters, the system displays an error message
indicating that the characters are invalid; if the file name and save path for importing a results
file contain traditional Chinese characters, the system displays an error message indicating that
importing the results file fails.
Cause
The Nastar can identify only simplified Chinese characters and English characters.
Solution
It is recommended that a user enter only simplified Chinese characters and English characters
when the user is inputting information into the Nastar by using a PC.
Symptom
Users click a result record on the Nastar client, switch to another tool when they wait for the
Nastar to display the result, and then switch back to the Nastar client. However, the Nastar client
cannot be displayed again.
Cause
The Nastar client occupies too much memory or the computer that runs the Nastar client does
not provide sufficient resources, and consequently users cannot switch from one window to
another. In fact, this problem occurs during the running of many Windows applications.
Solution
Log off or close the Nastar client, and then log in to the Nastar client again.
Symptom
After a user changes SSL Available in the OSS Information Management window on the
Nastar client, the basic data subscription task fails and the system displays Login U2000/
M2000 Failed. However, the U2000/M2000 still runs properly.
Cause
A user needs to log in to the eSAU server and execute the setTaoService.sh script to set
communication mode after changing the communication mode between the Nastar and the
U2000/M2000 on the Nastar client.
NOTICE
The Nastar and OSS communicate with each other based on security protocols (SSL/SSH
protocols) by default to ensure data confidentiality and integrity. The common plaintext data
transfer mode does not provide high security. Before changing the network communication mode
from the security mode to the common mode, you need to obtain a written authorization from
the customer. (A standard authorization must contain the following information: product or item
name, purpose, content, range, time restriction, and other conventions.)
Communication modes among Nastar components (including the Nastar, eSAU, and xSAU)
must be consistent, and the communication modes of external components (such as the U2000/
M2000 and NEs) must also be consistent with the Nastar communication mode. When the
communication mode of one of the Nastar components is switched, those of others also need to
be switched.
Solution
1. Log in to the eSAU server as user ossuser.
NOTE
For an ATAE cluster system, log in to the active and standby eSAU node as user ossuser, perform
the following in the active and standby node.
2. Run the following command to switch to user root.
~> su - root
Password:Password of root
3. Run the following commands to stop eSAU services:
# cd /opt/esau
# . ./svc_profile.sh
# esau_stop
If the command output contains Stopping the system succeeded!, eSAU
services have stopped. Otherwise, run the esau_kill command to forcibly stop eSAU
services.
4. Run the following commands to set the communication mode:
# cd /opt/esau
# . ./svc_profile.sh
# cd /opt/esau/script/admin/
# sh setTaoService.sh
5. When the system displays information similar to the following, type y:
In the following displayed information, XXXX indicates disable or enable.
When the system displays the following information, setting the communication mode
succeeds:
Succeed to configurate TAO service
Symptom
When the Nastar executes basic data subscription tasks, it fails to obtain the basic data for some
themes, and logs show Execute MML Failed.
Cause
After the NE version is upgraded, new NE configuration data is not imported into the Nastar.
MML commands that the Nastar issues for subscribing to basic data still contain old NE version
information. Consequently the Nastar fails to obtain the basic data for some themes.
Solution
To ensure that the Nastar can properly obtain data in the preceding scenario, perform the
following operations:
1. Export NE configuration data through the U2000/M2000.
l By default, the U2000/M2000 periodically exports NE configuration data. Generally,
the period is one day.
l If you need to export NE configuration data immediately, you can do it manually. For
detailed operations, see Preparing for Obtaining Data (Common) in section Product
Documentation > Installation and Commissioning > System Installation and
Commissioning > Nastar Commissioning Guide (DL580) > Commissioning the
Function of Obtaining Data > Preparing for Obtaining Data.
2. Collect NE configuration data on the Nastar client again.
l By default, the Nastar automatically collects configuration data. The start time for
collecting configuration data is the start time of the data collection service and the period
is 6 hour by default. For example, if the start time of the data collection service is 6:00,
the next execution time is 12:00. The start time of the data collection service is the same
as the start time of the system service.
l If you need to collect configuration data immediately, and do not want to wait until the
default time for collecting configuration data, click Immediately Collect
Configuration Data on the RAN NE List tab page through the OSS information
management function. If the Nastar is executing another data collection task, the task
that you manually trigger will be automatically executed after the running task is
complete.
3. Import configuration data.
When the Nastar detects the collected configuration data, it automatically imports the data
to its database.
4. Execute failed basic data subscription tasks again.
a. Turn off the switch for the basic data that the Nastar fails to collect.
b. Turn on the switch for the basic data that you want to subscribe to again.
5. Execute failed application data subscription tasks for the related themes.
a. Turn off the switch for the application data that the Nastar fails to obtain.
b. Turn on the switch for the application data that you want to subscribe to again.
Symptom
When the Nastar executes basic and application data subscription tasks, it fails to obtain data in
some themes, and logs show Execute MML Failed.
Cause
After existing RNCs are reconstructed into RNC In Pools, new configuration data is not imported
into the Nastar and logical RNCs (main physical RNCs) are not updated to the NE list.
Consequently, the Nastar fails to obtain data in some themes.
Solution
To ensure that the Nastar can properly obtain data in the preceding scenario, perform the
following operations:
1. Export NE configuration data through the U2000/M2000.
l By default, the U2000/M2000 periodically exports NE configuration data. Generally,
the period is one day.
l If you need to export NE configuration data immediately, you can do it manually. For
detailed operations, see Preparing for Obtaining Data (Common) in section Product
Documentation > Installation and Commissioning > System Installation and
Commissioning > Nastar Commissioning Guide (DL580) > Commissioning the
Function of Obtaining Data > Preparing for Obtaining Data.
2. Collect NE configuration data on the Nastar client again.
l By default, the Nastar automatically collects configuration data. The start time for
collecting configuration data is the start time of the data collection service and the period
is 6 hour by default. For example, if the start time of the data collection service is 6:00,
the next execution time is 12:00. The start time of the data collection service is the same
as the start time of the system service.
l If you need to collect configuration data immediately, and do not want to wait until the
default time for collecting configuration data, click Immediately Collect
Configuration Data on the RAN NE List tab page through the OSS information
management function. If the Nastar is executing another data collection task, the task
that you manually trigger will be automatically executed after the running task is
complete.
3. Import configuration data.
When the Nastar detects the collected configuration data, it automatically imports the data
to its database.
4. Optional: Import engineering parameters again for the network geographic observation
theme.
5. Execute failed basic data subscription tasks again.
a. Turn off the switch for the basic data that the Nastar fails to collect.
b. Turn on the switch for the basic data that you want to subscribe to again.
6. Execute failed application data subscription tasks for the related themes.
a. Turn off the switch for the application data that the Nastar fails to obtain.
b. Turn on the switch for the application data that you want to subscribe to again.
Symptom
If no basic subscription is issued again, the analysis results of each theme for the cells under the
newly created site on the Nastar are empty.
For example, after the newly created UMTS site is activated, if no basic subscription is issued
to the RNC where the site is located again, for the cells under the site, the UMTS coverage
analysis results and the cell performance analysis results are empty, and the number of
measurement reports in the intra-frequency neighboring cell analysis results is 0.
Cause
For the newly created site and its managed cells, the Nastar, as the upper-layer application
software, cannot automatically enable the data source subscription of the site.
Solution
After the newly created site is activated, issue basic subscription to the NE where the site is
located again.
Symptom
l For the cell performance analysis, if users select the data analysis time period that contains
the future time when creating an analysis task and collect statistics on an exception type
by BottomN Users or BottomN Terminal Models , the total exception percentage exceeds
100%.
l For the PS Core performance problem cause analysis, if users select the data analysis time
period that contains the future time when creating an analysis task and analyze the objects
corresponding to a cause value, the total exception percentage exceeds 100%.
Cause
For the cell performance analysis and the PS core performance problem cause analysis, the
number of exceptions in terms of different dimensions are obtained by phase.
The preceding analysis data can be obtained from the eSAU. When the data amount is great and
the execution of the analysis task is slow, delay occurs between 1 and 2. If the data is imported
to the eSAU database during the delay period, the data amount in 2 is greater than that in 1. As
a result, the percentage obtained by dividing the data obtained in 2 by the data obtained in 1 is
greater than 100%.
Solution
When creating an analysis task, the selected data analysis time period cannot contain the future
time. That is, you can select only the existing time period for data analysis.
Symptom
NE names in the NE tree are different from those in the NE details area when you query analysis
data in the window for data maintenance and management on the Nastar client.
Cause
1. The data sources are different.
NE names in the NE tree are obtained from configuration data, whereas NE names in the
NE details area are obtained from the EAMInfo file.
2. The source data collection periods are different.
Configuration data and the EAMInfo file are obtained from the OSS. By default, the OSS
generates configuration data once every day and generates the EAMInfo file once every
two hours, and the Nastar obtains the configuration data and EAMInfo file from the OSS
once every six hours. After NE names are changed, NE names in the EAMInfo file may
have been updated while those in the configuration data may remain unchanged. As a result,
NE names in the NE tree and those in the NE details area become different.
Solution
Request the OSS administrator to manually trigger the immediate generation of configuration
data. Then, trigger the immediate collection of configuration data on the Nastar client manually,
thereby ensuring that the configuration data is consistent with data in the EAMInfo file.
Symptom
The Nastar client does not respond to the querying of a created task.
Cause
Though the Nastar keeps being connected to the server, the server has been restarted for multiple
times. As a result, the webservice service for connecting the client to the server has changed,
causing the loss of some functions.
Solution
Log in to the Nastar client again.
This section describes how to perform GSM network optimization on the Nastar. Through this
function, you can perform various theme analysis functions on the Nastar, such as MR analysis,
frequency analysis, neighboring cell analysis, GSM/UMTS neighboring cell analysis, VIP
analysis, complaint analysis support, terminal analysis, and network geographic observation. It
is especially useful to users who are familiar with the Nastar basic operations. It is recommended
that you read this section when using the Nastar for the GSM network optimization. If you use
the Nastar in the first time, refer to Nastar Quick Start chapters.
3.1 GSM MR Analysis
The GSM MR analysis function in the Nastar analyzes uplink/downlink level, uplink/downlink
quality, timing advance (TA) distribution and link balance information of test cells. Through the
function, the Nastar directly displays radio link information on wireless network problems for
quickly locating problems.
3.2 GSM Frequency Analysis
The Nastar provides the interference matrix analysis function and frequency interference matrix
analysis function based on Measurement Reports (MRs) to assist users in adjusting the frequency
setting. In addition, users can plan a frequency optimization scheme based on frequency
interference matrix and judge the usability of the scheme based on frequency optimization
results. You are advised to perform neighboring cell analysis before starting frequency analysis.
This helps to improve the accuracy of neighboring cell identification and enable the Nastar to
generate a correct interference model.
3.3 GSM Neighboring Cell Analysis
On Nastar, you can identify redundant or missing neighboring GSM cells of a test cell and
incorrect priority settings by summarizing and analyzing the MRs and events sent by MSs,
configuration data, and engineering parameter data. This helps you resolve network quality
problems due to redundant neighboring GSM cells, missing neighboring GSM cells, or incorrect
priorities.
3.4 GSM/UMTS Neighboring Cell Analysis
On Nastar, you can check whether any neighboring UMTS cell of a GSM cell is missing or
redundant by summarizing and analyzing the MRs and events sent by MSs, configuration data,
and engineering parameter data. This helps you resolve network quality problems due to
redundant or missing neighboring UMTS cells.
NOTE
For details about the service data types, definition, collection sources, application scenarios, and protection
measures, see Descriptions > Nastar Security Description > Application Security > Protecting Private
Subscriber Data in the Nastar Product Documentation.
Function Description
MR overview analysis
The MR overview analysis results provide the following information: an overview of the radio
network performance, the distribution of TopN TRXs and problematic TRXs of each BSC or
cell group, and the TopN TRXs for which the value of each radio link counter is the lowest. This
function also offers analysis results and suggestions.
Users can view the daily overview analysis report to learn information about the problematic
TRXs of each BSC, each cell group, and the entire network, and check the causes of the problems.
Users can also check whether other problematic TRXs exist in the cell where a TopN TRX is
located and analyze these TRXs.
The analysis results can be displayed in tables or bar charts to provide the radio link quality,
level, traffic distance distribution, and link balance. Analysis of the problems and suggestions
are provided to help you quickly analyze and locate the quality problems that occur on the
wireless network.
MR query
During network performance analysis and optimization, when problematic cells (such as a cell
whose call drop rate is high or number of handover failures is large) are found, you can query
the information about these cells and radio link information about the TRXs in the cells through
the Nastar.
You can set cell objects before the query. The MR information about these cells is displayed in
the result window. The Nastar allows further query of TRXs. The comparison and query of
different TRXs in cells enable you to locate more complicated network problems effectively.
The query results are displayed in tables or bar charts to provide the radio link quality and user
distribution of each TRX.
MR comparison analysis
After network upgrade and optimization, you can compare the quality and coverage of the
network, BSC, cell group, or cell before and after antenna adjustment and parameter
modifications. You can evaluate the results of network optimization.
Function Principles
The data source of GSM MR analysis is the performance data on the U2000/M2000.
Figure 3-1 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar. For
detailed operations, see Table 3-1.

signals. Class 7 indicates the maximum bit error rate and the poorest quality of received signals.
Table 3-2 describes the relation between the quality classes of received signals and the bit error
rate.

Received Level
The received signal level is divided into seven classes according to level values. Each class
corresponds to different ranges of received levels. Higher class indicates poorer quality of
received signals. Class 1 indicates the lowest received level and class 7 indicates the highest
received level.
Table 3-3 describes the relation between the received levels and the seven classes.

TA(Timing Advance)
Timing advance (TA) is a counter used to describe the distance with time and is used for coverage
analysis. The header of a measurement report (MR) sent from a mobile station (MS) to a BTS
carries the delay measured by the MS. After obtaining the delay, the BTS monitors the time
when a call reaches and sends an instruction to the MS on a downlink channel every 480 ms to
specify the advanced sending time for the MS. This time is termed TA, ranging from 0 to 63.
The MRs usually contain TA values ranging from 0 to 10. The MRs contain TA values higher
than 10 are incremented by certain TA ranges. In a TA distribution chart generated on the basis
of GSM MR analysis results, each bar chart shows the percentage of the number of MRs within
a TA range to the total number of MRs.

NOTE
The number 6 in the formula "Downlink receive level - Uplink receive level - 6 (dB)" refers to the sensitivity
difference between the MS and the BTS.
If the statistical result indicates that the uplink and downlink are mostly in balance class 1, the
downlink loss is excessively high or the downlink transmit power is excessively low. If the
statistical result indicates that the uplink and downlink are mostly in balance class 11, the uplink
loss is excessively high or the uplink transmit power is excessively low. According to the
statistical result, you can locate the faults that may occur on the transmit and receive channels,
such as the TRX or antenna feeder.
NOTE
The network scale specification for one analysis task is for reference only and is not restricted by the Nastar
software. If the network scale for one analysis task onsite exceeds this specification, however, the number
of supported analysis tasks and the duration of one analysis task will be changed.
The configuration data of the NE controlling the test cell and neighboring cells is used to correctly
analyze the information about the test cell and neighboring cells and collect the analysis data of
these cells from the network during the analysis process.
If the OSS information has been already configured, the Nastar automatically and periodically
collects and imports the configuration data after the OSS and NE information is configured. You
can also manually collect the configuration data before the specified time period starts. After
the configuration data is imported, you can choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance
Management to check whether the configuration data is available in the Nastar database. For
detailed information about collecting, importing, and checking, see 2.5.2 Checking the
Integrity of Configuration Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.

Function Description
Frequency analysis
The Nastar provides the interference traffic of each neighboring cell of a test cell and provides
the interference matrix of each cell in a report.
The mechanism of GSM frequency analysis is as follows: The Nastar identifies the interference
between a test cell and its co-channel or adjacent-channel cells, evaluates the frequency planning
results, and analyzes the cells and ARFCNs with strong interference on the current network.
The generated interference matrices are based on the traffic volume of the network. In this
manner, the Nastar can accurately calculate the ratio of the interference traffic to the cell traffic
during frequency adjustment.
Before performing frequency analysis, check whether any defined neighboring cell of the test
cell shares the same ARFCN and the same BSIC with other neighboring cells. If a defined
neighboring cell or an undefined neighboring cell close to the test cell shares the same ARFCN
and the same BSIC with other neighboring cells, the network stability and accuracy of frequency
analysis are affected.
GSM frequency analysis results can be exported as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files. In addition, the GSM
interference matrix data can be exported as .txt files and imported into the Cellopt software for
re-planning network frequencies.
NOTE
To obtain the Cellopt software, log in to http://www.actix.com/, and purchase a liscence for the software.
Frequency optimization
The Nastar enables you to view GSM frequency optimization results. You can perform automatic
frequency optimization, or set parameters to perform frequency optimization manually.
l Automatic frequency optimization: In this mode, the Nastar automatically selects ARFCNs
to be optimized. This improves the efficiency of frequency optimization and reduces user
operations.
l Manual frequency optimization: You select some cells in the interference matrix related to
a frequency analysis task and set algorithm parameters related to frequency optimization.
The Nastar analyzes the frequency interference of the BCCH ARFCNs and TCH ARFCNs
selected from the candidate ARFCNs of a test cell and selects appropriate BCCH ARFCNs
and TCH ARFCNs for test cells.
Function Principles
The data source for GSM frequency analysis is the performance data and neighboring cell
measurement data collected from the U2000/M2000.
Figure 3-6 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar. For
detailed operations, see Table 3-6.
NOTE
Before you use the Nastar to collect and import performance data, check that the data export function has been
enabled on the U2000/M2000.

can also manually collect the configuration data before the specified time period starts. After
the configuration data is imported, you can choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance
Management to check whether the configuration data is available in the Nastar database. For
detailed information about collecting, importing, and checking, see 2.5.2 Checking the
Integrity of Configuration Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
Engineering parameters
The engineering parameters for a specific area include the longitude and latitude of the cell and
the azimuth of the antenna. You can use the information to quickly identify serving cell and
neighboring cell information during theme analysis.
In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, choose System Function >
Engineering Parameter Management. Then double-click Engineering Parameter
Management to check whether engineering parameters have been imported. If the parameters
are unavailable, you must import the engineering parameter template. The Nastar can import the
engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
After the engineering parameters are successfully imported, you are advised to check whether
the engineering parameters are consistent with the configuration data and whether the
engineering parameters are correct. For example, if the cell identification information in the
engineering parameters is not consistent with the configuration data, the TOP cell will be
repeated in the network geographic observation function.

Parameter Description
Time Setting Start Time Indicates the time when the task starts to run.
The start time must be later than the current time. By
default, the start time is five minutes later than the
current system time.
Cycle Setting Cycle Indicates the interval between periodic tasks. This
parameter involves the period unit and the interval.
Interval: 1 to 65535.
Parameter Description
Measurement Measurement step Indicates the number of ARFCNs in the same group.
Task The value is an integer from 1 to 31, including 1 and
31.
The measurement step must be less than or equal to
the minimum rest step of the selected cell.
NOTE
The measurement duration (Number of ARFCNs/
Measurement step x Measurement period) is less than or
equal to 24 hours. If the number of ARFCNs is not an
integer multiple of the measurement step, the value of
Number of ARFCNs/Measurement step must be rounded
up. For example, the value of [5/2] is 3.
Parameter Description
Selected Frequency You need to collect the frequencies that you want to
measure. This ensures that all signal strength values
of the neighboring cells of a cell can be measured in
order to identify possible missing neighboring cells.
Frequencies are managed by group, and the number
of frequencies in each group is determined by the
value of Measure Step.
NOTE
l You can select a maximum of 762 ARFCNs for a cell.
If the number exceeds 762, the NE returns an error
message after the corresponding MML command is
executed, indicating that the task creation or
modification fails.
l Before setting this parameter, you must set Measure
Step. The selected ARFCNs are grouped by Measure
Step. For example, if Measure Step is set to 2 and the
ARFCNs 59, 60, and 61 are selected, the ARFCNs are

NOTE
For details about the service data types, definition, collection sources, application scenarios, and protection
measures, see Descriptions > Nastar Security Description > Application Security > Protecting Private
Subscriber Data in the Nastar Product Documentation.
Function Description
GSM neighboring cell analysis is based on the MRs of the ARFCNs in the BA2 list reported by
MSs. The ARFCNs in the BA2 list include the BCCH ARFCNs of defined neighboring GSM
cells and undefined neighboring GSM cells. Figure 3-11 shows the process of measuring the
ARFCNs in the BA2 list.
Run the data subscription function on Nastar, and send the BCCH ARFCNs of undefined
neighboring GSM cells to an NE. The NE sends the ARFCN information through system
messages to MSs in the serving cell. Before you perform the analysis, check whether the BCCHs
of any defined or undefined neighboring GSM cells share one BCCH ARFCN and BSIC. If the
BCCHs of two defined or undefined neighboring GSM cells share one BCCH ARFCN and BSIC,
the stability of the network and the accuracy of GSM neighboring cell analysis will be affected.
During calls, the MSs in the serving cell test the ARFCNs in the BA2 list, and send MRs to the
BSC. The BSC collects statistics on the MRs by cell-neighboring cell pair, including the BCCHs
and BSICs of defined and undefined neighboring GSM cells, how many times the absolute level
of the serving cell exceeds the preset threshold, how many times the relative level of the serving
cell exceeds the preset threshold, and quantity of MRs.
Nastar analyzes neighboring GSM cells based on the statistical results provided by the BSC, and
generates analysis results. Based on the analysis results, you can add missing neighboring GSM
cells and delete redundant neighboring GSM cells. Then, set Nastar to generate the result files
of GSM neighboring cell analysis, which serve as the suggestions on GSM network optimization.
The results of GSM neighboring cell analysis can be exported as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files.
Nastar can display the results of GSM neighboring cell analysis and possible neighboring cell
analysis on a map and highlights the serving cell, missing neighboring GSM cells, redundant
neighboring GSM cells, and defined and undefined neighboring GSM cells in different colors.
This helps you query neighboring relationships.
Function Algorithm
Based on the MRs sent by MSs, Nastar scores and arranges the defined and undefined
neighboring GSM cells in sequence. You can analyze the neighboring GSM cells based on the
sequence and result map in combination with the actual network situations, and provide
suggestions on adding missing neighboring GSM cells and deleting redundant neighboring GSM
cells.
Function Principles
GSM neighboring cell analysis is based on the performance data and neighboring cell
measurement file data on U2000/M2000.
Figure 3-12 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar.
For detailed operations, see Table 3-10.
NOTE
Before you use the Nastar to collect and import performance data, check that the data export function has been
enabled on the U2000/M2000.

Adjusting the BSC As the BSC is responsible for collecting statistical results, the
topology or other measurement task cannot be successfully executed if the network
network topology topology is adjusted. Therefore, you are not advised to adjust the
network topology during data collection.
NOTE
The network scale specification for one analysis task is for reference only and is not restricted by the Nastar
software. If the network scale for one analysis task onsite exceeds this specification, however, the number
of supported analysis tasks and the duration of one analysis task will be changed.
can also manually collect the configuration data before the specified time period starts. After
the configuration data is imported, you can choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance
Management to check whether the configuration data is available in the Nastar database. For
detailed information about collecting, importing, and checking, see 2.5.2 Checking the
Integrity of Configuration Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
The engineering parameters for a specific area include the cell longitude and latitude and the
antenna azimuth. The information is used for the effective identification of neighboring cell
information and geographic display of analysis results during theme analysis.
In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, choose System Function >
Engineering Parameter Management. Then double-click Engineering Parameter
Management to check whether engineering parameters have been imported. If the parameters
are unavailable, you must import the engineering parameter template. The Nastar can import the
engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
After the engineering parameters are successfully imported, you are advised to check whether
the engineering parameters are consistent with the configuration data and whether the
engineering parameters are correct. For example, if the cell identification information in the
engineering parameters is not consistent with the configuration data, the TOP cell will be
repeated in the network geographic observation function.
The map file for a specific area displays the analysis result geographically. You do not need to
prepare the map file if you do not want to view the analysis result on the map.
You can import the map files in wor, tab, or sxwu format to the Nastar. If the PC is connected

and engineering parameter data. This helps you resolve network quality problems due to
redundant or missing neighboring UMTS cells.
NOTE
For details about the service data types, definition, collection sources, application scenarios, and protection
measures, see Descriptions > Nastar Security Description > Application Security > Protecting Private
Subscriber Data in the Nastar Product Documentation.
Function Description
After you set the conditions for checking the redundant or missing neighboring cell
configurations, the Nastar performs inter-RAT neighboring cell analysis for the selected cell.
The analysis results are displayed in a bar chart. In the bar chart, the defined UMTS neighboring
cells, undefined UMTS neighboring cells, redundant UMTS neighboring cells, and missing
UMTS neighboring cells are illustrated in different colors.
The Nastar can export analysis results of inter-RAT neighboring cells to a file. In the inter-RAT
neighboring cell analysis result window, you can export the result file of inter-RAT neighboring
cell analysis after adding the missing neighboring cells and deleting the redundant neighboring
cells. The result file provides the related optimization suggestions.
The GSM/UMTS neighboring cell analysis results can be exported to a .csv, .xls, or .xlsx file.
Function Algorithm
This section describes the algorithm for the neighboring GSM/UMTS cell analysis, such as the
algorithm used to check missing neighboring cells and redundant neighboring cells.
Based on the measurement reports (MRs) reported by UEs, the Nastar calculates the overall
score and then ranks the defined and undefined UMTS neighboring cells. According to the
ranking of UMTS neighboring cells and result analysis charts, you can enable the Nastar to
analyze the neighboring cells depending on the actual network situation, and then provide
suggestions on missing UMTS neighboring cells to be added and redundant UMTS neighboring
cells to be deleted.
The algorithms for GSM/UMTS neighboring cell analysis are as follows:
1. Calculate the integrated priority of all the UMTS neighboring cells of a serving cell.
In terms of multiple factors such as UMTS neighboring cells MRs, measurement time, and
serving cell MRs, the GSM/UMTS neighboring cell analysis provides scores and integrated
priorities based on the Nastar algorithms. The higher the integrated priority is, and the
smaller the sequence number is.
2. Determine missing neighboring cells.
When the sequence number of an undefined UMTS neighboring cell is smaller than or
equal to the value of Neighboring Cell Count Setting that is set when a GSM/UMTS
neighboring cell analysis task is created, the UMTS neighboring cell is regarded as a
missing neighboring cell.
3. Determine redundant neighboring cells.
When the sequence number of a defined UMTS neighboring cell is greater than the value
of Neighboring Cell Count Setting that is set when a GSM/UMTS neighboring cell
analysis task is created, the UMTS neighboring cell is regarded as a redundant neighboring
cell.
Function Principles
Data required by GSM/UMTS neighboring cell analysis comes from the performance data on
the U2000/M2000.
Figure 3-19 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar.
For detailed operations, see Table 3-13.

adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
The engineering parameters for a specific area include the cell longitude and latitude and the
antenna azimuth. The information is used for the effective identification of neighboring cell
information and geographic display of analysis results during theme analysis.
In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, choose System Function >
Engineering Parameter Management. Then double-click Engineering Parameter
Management to check whether engineering parameters have been imported. If the parameters
are unavailable, you must import the engineering parameter template. The Nastar can import the
engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
After the engineering parameters are successfully imported, you are advised to check whether
the engineering parameters are consistent with the configuration data and whether the
engineering parameters are correct. For example, if the cell identification information in the
engineering parameters is not consistent with the configuration data, the TOP cell will be
repeated in the network geographic observation function.
The map file for a specific area displays the analysis result geographically. You do not need to
prepare the map file if you do not want to view the analysis result on the map.
You can import the map files in wor, tab, or sxwu format to the Nastar. If the PC is connected
to the Internet, you can view analysis results on the Google Earth. For details, see 2.5.4

Function Description
The Nastar analyzes the uplink levels of a cell to display the received signal strength of the
measurement ARFCNs in this cell. This provides reference for you to select appropriate
ARFCNs.
Huawei BTSs can scan the uplink receive levels of all frequencies at P-GSM (1–124), E-GSM
(0, 975–1023), R-GSM (955–974), DCS1800 (512–885), PCS1900 (512–810),
Huawei BTS3X series BTSs perform uplink interference analysis based on the following
principles: Without affecting normal calls, the BTSs use the IDLE frame of a TCH within the
measurement cell to repeatedly scan the uplink receive levels of specified ARFCNs. When the
BSC allocates TCHs, the BTSs prefer the IDLE frame of the TCH at the TRX where the BCCH
is located. Therefore, the BTSs can scan only the ARFCNs that are in the same frequency band
as the ARFCN of the measurement cell.
The TCH adopts the structure of 26 multiframes. Each TCH multiframe contains an IDLE frame.
The period of the IDLE frame on the TCH is 26 multiframes x 0.577 (Burst length) x 8 (TDMA
frame) = 120 ms. Each ARFCN is measured 10 times and about one minute is required for
measuring 50 ARFCNs. An uplink interference analysis task records a maximum of 124
ARFCNs. Therefore, about three minutes are required for measuring these ARFCNs.
After you create an uplink interference analysis task, the Nastar will perform uplink interference
analysis on the selected cells. The analysis results can be displayed in bar charts or line charts
that use different colors to show the average main and diversity interference strength for each
ARFCN at each time point.
Function Principles
The Nastar uses the scanned uplink frequency data on the U2000/M2000 for GSM uplink
interference analysis.
Figure 3-24 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data by using the
Nastar on a newtork where NEs such as BSC6900s (excluding eGBTSs) are deployed. For
detailed operations, see Table 3-16.

Function Description
Call records of subscribers can reflect the access performance, service retainability, and intra-
RAT handover performance of terminals. KPIs related to delay, service quality, and traffic can
reflect the terminal capability.
Function Principles
The data source for terminal analysis is the CHR data on the NE side.
Figure 3-28 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar.
For detailed operations, see Table 3-19.

NOTE
The network scale specification for one analysis task is for reference only and is not restricted by the Nastar
software. If the network scale for one analysis task onsite exceeds this specification, however, the number
of supported analysis tasks and the duration of one analysis task will be changed.
Network scale for one l <= 10,000 cells (for terminal inventory analysis)

Terminal information indicates the IMEI-TAC, vendor, terminal model, chip model, terminal
type, terminal technology, and data transfer information. The system can display other
information about a terminal based on the IMEI-TAC detected by the live network to help users
to perform well-targeted terminal analysis.
In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, choose System Function >
Terminal Type Management. Then double-click Terminal Type Management. Import or edit
the terminal information as required. For details, see 2.5.7 Managing Terminal Information
(Terminal Analysis).
Configuration Data
The configuration data of the NEs for the area corresponding to the terminal is used to extract
the cell performance analysis data from the network and analyze the access cell, release cell,
handover cell, and the cell information in the relevant measurement result during the terminal
analysis process.
If the OSS information has been already configured, the Nastar automatically and periodically
collects and imports the configuration data after the OSS and NE information is configured. You
can also manually collect the configuration data before the specified time period starts. After
the configuration data is imported, you can choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance
Management to check whether the configuration data is available in the Nastar database. For
detailed information about collecting, importing, and checking, see 2.5.2 Checking the
Integrity of Configuration Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
NOTE
You are advised to perform terminal analysis with the granularity of a day to ensure the validity and
timeliness of the configuration data.
Engineering Parameters (Optional)
The engineering parameters for a specific area include the cell longitude and latitude and the
antenna azimuth. The information is used for the effective identification of neighboring cell
information and geographic display of analysis results during theme analysis.
In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, choose System Function >
Engineering Parameter Management. Then double-click Engineering Parameter
Management to check whether engineering parameters have been imported. If the parameters
are unavailable, you must import the engineering parameter template. The Nastar can import the
engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
The map file for a specific area displays the analysis result geographically. You do not need to
prepare the map file if you do not want to view the analysis result on the map.

Function Description
Generally, engineers prefer a whole-to-partial method to optimize the network and analyze the
network performance. With this method, engineers can analyze and detect network problems by
evaluating performance indicators,and then analyze the KPIs of the entire network or a specific
BSC. If the analysis results indicate that a BSC is faulty, the engineers analyze the cells under
the faulty BSC to find which cells are problematic and then further analyze these problematic
bottom cells. During the preceding process of cell performance analysis, the Nastar provides the
following functions:
l The Nastar analyzes the abnormal call records and the causes of exceptions in the bottom
cells based on BSCs or NE groups. This helps engineers better identify the detailed causes
of certain exceptions and solve the problems accordingly.
l After identifying the key exceptions in the problematic cells, the Nastar analyzes the bottom
subscribers and bottom terminals with exceptions in the problematic cells. This helps
engineers collect more information about the bottom subscribers and terminal models that
indicate low KPI values. In this way, the function helps engineers quickly identify certain
types of bottom subscriber and bottom terminal with exceptions in the problematic cells,
thereby enabling the engineers to improve cell performance by eliminating the exceptions
that occur on the bottom subscribers and bottom terminals.
l When problematic cells are not identified, the Nastar analyzes the exceptions in a large
number of problematic bottom cells under a specific BSC to help engineers identify the
bottom cells with the most exceptions.
l Besides identifying the problematic cells and the causes of certain exceptions, the Nastar
focuses on the further analyses of problematic cells. The Nastar performs further analyses
on abnormal call records based on different analysis needs and scopes. The further analyses
cover selected causes of certain types of exception, and bottom cells, bottom subscribers
or bottom terminals under the causes of certain exceptions. After the further analysis
function is enabled, the Nastar leads engineers to the complaint analysis results, helping
them obtain the information about subscribers' calls and locate problems.
Engineers can export the results of cell performance analysis as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files, and then
solve the problems in the cells based on the exported results to optimize cell performance.
NOTE
Under the Nastar, the statistical results of cell performance analysis are different from those of cell
performance data.
l The statistical results provided by the Nastar are based on subscriber perception. The traffic
measurement results, however, are based on the performance data about network devices. The two
types of result are collected by different dimensions, and therefore indicate certain differences.
l The Nastar focuses on the further analyses of problematic cells. The U2000/M2000 and the PRS,
however, focus on the identification of problematic cells by collecting statistics from the network
dimension.
Function Principles
The Nastar uses the CHR data from NEs for cell performance analysis.
Figure 3-35 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar.
For detailed operations, see Table 3-21.

NOTE
The list of the MML command delivered by the Nastar subscription function is referred to Appendix: List of
MML Commands Delivered by Subscription Function.
NOTE
The network scale specification for one analysis task is for reference only and is not restricted by the Nastar
software. If the network scale for one analysis task onsite exceeds this specification, however, the number
of supported analysis tasks and the duration of one analysis task will be changed.
This is the configuration data of the NEs related to a cell. The configuration data enables users
to correctly obtain the CHR data of subscribers from the network. It also enables users to analyze
the cell information in MRs and the information about the following cells: cells to which
subscribers have gained access, cells from which subscribers have been released, and cells to
which subscribers will be handed over.
If the OSS information has been already configured, the Nastar automatically and periodically
collects and imports the configuration data after the OSS and NE information is configured. You
can also manually collect the configuration data before the specified time period starts. After
the configuration data is imported, you can choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance
Management to check whether the configuration data is available in the Nastar database. For
detailed information about collecting, importing, and checking, see 2.5.2 Checking the
Integrity of Configuration Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
NOTE
To ensure the validity of the configuration data, you are advised to perform GSM cell performance analyses
on a per day basis.
Prerequisites
GSM configuration data and GSM engineering parameters have been imported into the Nastar
database. For detailed operations, see 3.7.2 Preparations for GSM Cell Performance

Function Description
Network geographic observation displays the distribution of network coverage, traffic, and
exceptions based on data collected from the live network. It replaces traditional drive tests (DTs)
and addresses the problem that DTs fail to cover all areas, thereby providing telecom operators
with cost-effective network evaluation and problem identification means.
each grid, and then renders the proportion results by grid. If an area has a high confidence
level, its KPIs or traffic is more reliable.
l Network traffic geographic observation supports the geographic rendering for the following
indicators: voice service traffic distribution and bad-quality traffic distribution.
Function: It displays the traffic distribution of each area on the live network on a map and
helps telecom operators identify traffic hot spots.
l Network event geographic observation supports the geographic rendering for the following
indicators: number of call drops (number of CS call drops), number of handover failures,
number of UL/DL PS access failures, and number of UL/DL PS call drops.
Function: It displays the locations where exceptions (including call access failures, call
drops, and handover failures) occur and the frequency for each type of exceptions in each
area on grid maps, helping telecom operators identify problematic areas where call drops
and handover failures occur frequently.
NOTE
For the Nastar geographic feature, the geographic location accuracy can be improved using the A-GPS
technology. To enable A-GPS data reporting, contact NE management/maintenance engineers to manually
enable the function on NEs. After the geographic feature is used, manually disable A-GPS data reporting
on NEs.
Application Scenarios
l Network optimization: By providing grid-level analysis on network coverage, traffic, and
events at this stage, the system helps identify problems such as weak coverage, intra-system
interference and improper network structure and then locates problematic cells through
associated grid-cell analysis. This helps to greatly reduce DTs. After the addressed
problems are solved, the system allows network optimization engineers to evaluate the
network quality before and after the optimization.
l Network planning or tuning: By geographically displaying traffic distribution at this stage,
the system helps identify hot spots and determine key network development and coverage
guarantee areas for telecom operators.
l Routine network assurance and maintenance: By geographically displaying network events
at this stage, the system helps network optimization engineers identify areas where
exceptions such as call drops and handover failures occur and provides guidance for
troubleshooting.
Traditional network guarantee and routine problem locating use network performance KPIs
to identify and analyze cell-level call drops and handover failures. Exceptions occurred in
certain coverage areas of a cell might be ignored because users see only the average KPI
values and, if telecom operators fail to pay attention to such exceptions, complaints will
arise. By geographically displaying exceptions such as call drops and handover failures on
the live network, the system helps network optimization engineers quickly identify areas
where exceptions occur frequently. Then, in conjunction with functions such as cell
performance analysis and the GIS, the engineers can further locate radio frequency (RF)
causes so as to improve user experience of the entire network.
Function Principles
The data source of network geographic observation is the CHR and MR data on the NE side.

Function Scenarios
l During network assurance, you can evaluate the KPIs of VIP subscribers to learn the service
usage of these VIP subscribers in time. You can also analyze the KPI trends of VIP
subscribers based on trend analysis to monitor the KPI information of these VIP subscribers.
l During network optimization, if the deteriorating KPI of a VIP subscriber cannot be
identified or located onsite, you can perform VIP in-depth analysis to obtain the detailed
call records of the VIP subscriber. Then, you can rapidly obtain problem identification and
analysis results to analyze the problem. This function also allows you to use the VIP KPI
evaluation function to verify that the problem is solved.
l During network optimization, if the control plane of a VIP subscriber is normal but the
service quality is unsatisfactory during calls or if the identification of complicated
exceptions requires analysis of the whole signaling procedure, you can perform VIP all-
signaling analysis on a few VIP subscribers.
Function Description
VIP Report Analysis (GSM/UMTS/LTE/PS Core)
The Nastar periodically collects statistics on and analyzes various user assurance KPIs of VIP
subscribers and VIP groups, and generates different types of service assurance reports.
l Generates KPI reports on the network, CS services, and PS services on the RAN side, and
collects statistics on and analyzes the success rate and delay of each key procedure on the
CN side. This helps you quickly learn the service usage of VIP subscribers or VIP groups.
l Generates KPI reports on the active cells on the RAN side. This helps you quickly detect
the areas where VIP subscribers or VIP groups often appear and locate major problems
occurred in these areas. You can then solve the problem of service quality deterioration
experienced by VIP subscribers in time if the problem is caused by a cell.
l Generates KPI reports on the active servers for PS services. This helps you quickly locate
the servers that VIP subscribers or VIP groups often visit and solve the problem of service
quality deterioration caused by server problems in time. This function is available only for
GSM.
This function allows you to retrieve and analyze the call history information of a VIP subscriber
if the KPIs of the VIP subscriber deteriorates but the problem cannot be located or identified
onsite.
l Allows you to quickly locate the key call history information which results in the
deterioration of the KPIs and demarcate exceptions based on analysis.
l Allows you to analyze and demarcate the causes of identified exceptions based on
information, such as the cause of abnormal release, measurement report collected before
radio link release, mobility, and key signaling procedures during each call.
In the traditional method, you need to first save and manually process periodic analysis results
and then analyze the trends of specific KPIs, which result in low work efficiency. By contrast,
this function improves the work efficiency.
l Engineers can learn about VIP subscribers' service preferences by analyzing the trend of
their service usage.
l You can learn whether user assurance problems of VIP subscribers have been solved by
analyzing the trend of their service exceptions, such as call completion delay, and number
of short calls.
l You can learn poor user assurance caused by minor but persistent exceptions within a short
period of time by comparing and analyzing data collected based on different periods.
Combined with the GIS, the VIP analysis function can geographically display and render active
cells by group. If you select an active cell in the table, the active cell is also selected on the GIS.
In this way, you can quickly locate a cell and improve the efficiency of locating and analyzing
a problem.
If a VIP subscriber's control plane is normal but service quality problems occur during a call or
if complicated exceptions require analysis on complete signaling procedures, this function helps
you solve such problems. For details, see Table 3-26.
Data Source
The Nastar uses the CHR data for the VIP analysis both on the RAN side and the PS Core side.
You can choose the following scenes to analysis: CHR only on the RAN side, CHR only on the
PS Core side, CHR both on the RAN side and the PS Core side.
NOTE
l On the LTE network, the CHR data includes the eNodeB CHR data and the MME CHR data. The MME
CHR data provides the IMSI and IMEI information. For the all signaling analysis, the data source is the
eNodeB single-subscriber all-signaling data.
l The Nastar provides sufficient protection for service data used by this function, such as IMSI and IMEI
information, to ensure personal data security. For details about the service data and protection policies,
seeDescriptions > Nastar Security Description > Application Security > Protecting Private
Subscriber Data.
The Nastar provides an anonymization mechanism for processing personal data, such as the IMSI, IMEI,
MSISDN, and IMEISV. After this mechanism is used, the Nastar no longer allows you to enter the plaintext
IMSI and MSISDN. In this situation, you need to contact telecom operators to obtain the encrypted IMSI.
The Nastar does not support the encrypted MSISDN. Telecom operators can contact the Huawei technical
support engineers to visit http://support.huawei.com and choose Support > Software > Global
Service > Managing Customer Experience Service-SmartCare > Network Optimization Service >
GENEX Mobile Manager > HMACUtil.
l You have checked whether the subscriber identity anonymization switch or the encryption key is changed.
If the subscriber identity anonymization switch or the encryption key is changed, see 2.12.3
Troubleshooting Problems Caused by Change of the Subscriber Identity Anonymization Switch or
the Encryption Key.
l On the PS Core network, the CHR data includes the SGSN/MME CHR data and the GGSN/SAE-GW
CHR data.
l The CHR flow control function has been available since BSC6900 V900R016C00 and BSC6910
V100R016C00. When the SPU CPU load on an UMTS RNC exceeds a predefined threshold, the RNC
restricts the output of CHR event blocks, which affects the correctness of counters in Nastar analysis
results. For details about the CHR flow control policies, see the related NE product documentation.
Function Principles

Log Info area.
----End
Context
l The key information of the complaint subscriber includes International Mobile Subscriber
Identity (IMSI), MSISDN number, or peer MSISDN of the complaint subscriber. All the
networks support the analysis through the IMSI; only the PS Core network supports the
analysis through the MSISDN; and only the GSM CS network supports the analysis through
the peer MSISDN.
l This function can be used to quickly locate and resolve problems. Normally there is no way
to avoid that some user data such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) will
be used during the troubleshooting. However, this function provides an anonymous data
processing method. You are obligated to take considerable measures, in compliance with
the laws of the countries concerned and the user privacy policies of your company, to ensure
that the personal data of users is fully protected.
NOTE
For details about the service data types, definition, collection sources, application scenarios, and protection
measures, see Descriptions > Nastar Security Description > Application Security > Protecting Private
Subscriber Data in the Nastar Product Documentation.
Function Description
The Nastar obtains the call event records of complaining subscribers, and then filters, aggregates,
and analyzes data based on a specified history period and detailed call records of subscribers in
a specified area. This can assist you in locating and solving problems. The complaint analysis
support function consists of the aggregation and analysis of cause types in call reports of
complaining subscribers, aggregation and analysis of information about call reports of
complaining subscribers, analysis of detailed information about call reports of complaining
subscribers, analysis of procedure before signaling release in call reports of complaining
subscribers, analysis of active cells in call reports of complaining subscribers, and so on.
Aggregation and Helps network engineers filter and aggregate call GSM/
analysis of cause reports based on exception causes. UMTS/
types in call reports LTE/PS
of complaining Core
subscribers
Summary and Provide an information overview about all the filtered GSM/
analysis of call call records. The information includes the information UMTS/
reports of such as access time, access cell, release time, release LTE/PS
complaining cell, service duration, and so on. This function helps Core
subscribers network engineers quickly identify abnormal call
records (for example, too-short-time call records) and
preliminarily learn the situation of complaining
subscribers.
Analysis of detailed Provides the detailed information about all the filtered GSM/
call reports of call records. The information includes the subscriber UMTS/
complaining information, call access information, call release LTE/PS
subscribers information, and handover information. This function Core
helps network engineers learn the key events that occur
during calls, service usage, and measurement reports
(MRs) before signaling release, accurately and quickly
assisting in problem location.
Data Source
The Nastar uses the CHR data for the VIP analysis both on the RAN side and the PS Core side.
You can choose the following scenes to analysis: CHR only on the RAN side, CHR only on the
PS Core side, CHR both on the RAN side and the PS Core side.
NOTE
l On the GSM network, if you want to view the comprehensive measurement report information or the VQI,
you need to obtain the MR data on the RAN side. The information in the original MR data can replace the
measurement report information in the CHR data, so that measurement report information more
comprehensively and the voice quality analysis more accurately.
l On the LTE network, the CHR data includes the eNodeB CHR data and the MME CHR data. The MME
CHR data provides the IMSI and IMEI information.
l On the PS Core network, the CHR data includes the SGSN/MME CHR data and the GGSN/SAE-GW CHR
data.
l The CHR flow control function has been available since BSC6900 V900R016C00 and BSC6910
V100R016C00. When the SPU CPU load on an UMTS RNC exceeds a predefined threshold, the RNC
restricts the output of CHR event blocks, which affects the correctness of counters in Nastar analysis results.
For details about the CHR flow control policies, see the related NE product documentation.
Function Principles
Figure 3-49 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar.
For detailed operations, see Table 3-33.
NOTE
This section describes how the function is implemented when the Nastar is deployed using the direct networking
scheme.

Huawei internal protocols in real time after the
CHR data reporting values are configured and
the CHR data transmission switch is enabled.
NOTE
The network scale specification for one analysis task is for reference only and is not restricted by the Nastar
software. If the network scale for one analysis task onsite exceeds this specification, however, the number
of supported analysis tasks and the duration of one analysis task will be changed.

Navigation Path
Use either of the following methods to open the interface that displays combined complaint
analysis support results:
l Select a finished combined complaint analysis support task, and double-click a result record
in the Task Result area.
l Right-click a result record of the task and choose View Analysis Result from the shortcut
menu.
Interface description
The interface that displays the combined complaint analysis support results of multiple RATs
is generally the same as the interface that displays the complaint analysis support results of a
single RAT:
Figure 3-70 Combined Complaint Analysis Support(Using LTE and PS Core as an example)
l The service types displayed in the navigation tree (area 1) are combinations of the service
types for the complaint analysis support of involved RATs.
l The cause types displayed in the navigation tree (area 2) are combinations of the cause
types for the complaint analysis support of involved RATs.
The description of the exception causes provides the mapping between service types and
cause types. For details, see Appendix: Exception Cause Classification (Combined
Analysis).
l The information displayed in the middle and right areas on the interface varies according
to the call history record (CHR) that you select in the navigation tree.
– The summary results (area 3) of combined complaint analysis support are slightly
different from those of single-RAT complaint analysis support. For details, see 3.10.9
Reference for Complaint Analysis Support Parameters (Combined Analysis).
– In other results, one xDR belongs only to one RAT in most cases. Therefore, for details
about the related interfaces and parameters, see descriptions about the interfaces and
parameters for complaint analysis support of the corresponding RAT.
NOTE
l For the GSM/UMTS combined complaint analysis support, Peer MSISDN in the summary table is
only available for the GSM CS network, that is, appears only when the GSM CS task is created
independently. To view the peer information of the UMTS network, see the Service Analysis
(RAB) tab page.
l For an analysis theme that involves LTE CSFB, you must have applied for a valid license for CSFB
on the RAN side and one for CSFB on the PS Core network side. xDRs used in such an analysis theme
are generated by combining xDRs collected from the RAN and PS Core network sides. You can click
under Combined to view information about each xDR before the combination.

The Nastar provides network optimization function. The network optimization function helps
you perform various UMTS theme analyses on the Nastar, including coverage analysis, intra-
frequency analysis, inter-frequency analysis, UMTS/GSM neighboring cell analysis, VIP
analysis, complaint analysis support, terminal analysis, and network geographic analysis. These
analysis functions help to quickly locate network problems. It is especially useful to users who
are familiar with the Nastar basic operations. It is recommended that you read this section when
using the Nastar for the UMTS network optimization. If you use the Nastar in the first time, refer
to Nastar Quick Start chapters.
information of the complaint subscriber. Through the analysis of causes of exceptions such as
access failure, handover failure, and abnormal call drop, the Nastar helps you locate and solve
complaint problems.
NOTE
For details about the service data types, definition, collection sources, application scenarios, and protection
measures, see Descriptions > Nastar Security Description > Application Security > Protecting Private
Subscriber Data in the Nastar Product Documentation.
Function Description
An MR reported by a UE contains downlink received signal code power (RSCP), Ec/No, transmit
propagation delay (TP), DL BLER, and UE TX POWER. After you specify the conditions for
coverage analysis, the Nastar analyzes the coverage of the selected cell and then displays the
analysis results in a two-dimensional chart, a three-dimensional chart, and a table.
l In the two-dimensional chart, information about the following services is displayed: AMR,
VP, BE, AMR+BE, and OTHER services. Information about the AMR and VP services
contains five counters: RSCP, Ec/No, TP, DL BLER, and UE TX POWER. Information
about the BE, AMR+BE, and OTHER services contains four counters: RSCP, Ec/No, TP,
and UE TX POWER.
l In the three-dimensional chart, information about the CS and PS services is displayed.
Information about each service contains four counters including Ec/No, RSCP, TP, and UE
TX POWER.
l In the overview table, the counter statistics of all services involved in the two-dimensional
chart are displayed.
The results of coverage analysis can be exported as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files. Users can optimize

The network scale specification for one analysis task is for reference only and is not restricted by the Nastar
software. If the network scale for one analysis task onsite exceeds this specification, however, the number
of supported analysis tasks and the duration of one analysis task will be changed.
The configuration data of the NE controlling the test cell and neighboring cells is used to correctly
analyze the information about the test cell and neighboring cells and collect the analysis data of
these cells from the network during the analysis process.
If the OSS information has been already configured, the Nastar automatically and periodically
collects and imports the configuration data after the OSS and NE information is configured. You
can also manually collect the configuration data before the specified time period starts. After
the configuration data is imported, you can choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance
Management to check whether the configuration data is available in the Nastar database. For
detailed information about collecting, importing, and checking, see 2.5.2 Checking the
Integrity of Configuration Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
NOTE
To ensure the validity of configuration data, you are advised to perform UMTS coverage analysis on a
daily basis.

Function Description
Proper neighboring cell relationships can guarantee that a UE at the edge of a cell can be handed
over in time. This helps in reducing intra-RAT interference, improving the quality of service of
the network, and ensuring stable network performance.
Using the configuration data and engineering parameters, the Nastar can analyze the intra-
frequency neighboring cells of a selected cell on the basis of the MRs and events reported by a
UE. Based on the measurement data, the Nastar can determine the missing and redundant
neighboring cells and the neighboring cell priorities that need to be adjusted of the selected cell.
In addition, the Nastar can sequence the recommended priorities of the neighboring cells. By
comparing the recommended priorities and the actually configured priorities, you can adjust the
final priorities of the neighboring cells on the Nastar client.
The Nastar displays results in a line or bar chart. It displays the neighboring cells of different
types in different colors and the sequence of finally ascertained priorities.
You can export the results of the neighboring cell analysis as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files, which help
to optimize the neighboring cell relationships on the network.
In measurement results, undefined neighboring cells are identified first by frequencies and
primary scrambling codes (PSCs). On the network, cells that have the same frequency and same
PSC always exist around a dominant cell. You need to predict the signal strength based on the
site location, antenna azimuth, and antenna gain of these cells and then determine the possible
neighboring cells. In addition, you need to export the analysis report on the possible neighboring
cells through the Nastar client.
The Nastar can also display the UMTS neighboring cell analysis and possible neighboring cell
analysis results on maps. By rending the test cell, missing neighboring cells, redundant
neighboring cells, defined neighboring cells, and undefined neighboring cells with different
colors, Nastar helps you to view the neighboring cell relationships easily.
Function Algorithm
The neighboring cell analysis algorithms are the basis for determining the missing neighboring
cells, redundant neighboring cells, and recommended priorities of neighboring cells.
l The algorithm for calculating the recommended priority of a neighboring cell is as follows:
1. Calculate the overall score of a neighboring cell.
The overall score of a neighboring cell is determined together by the appearance times
of the neighboring cell, the relative difference between the Ec/No of the neighboring
cell and the Ec/No of the dominant cell, and the absolute difference between the Ec/
No of the neighboring cell and the Ec/No of the dominant cell.
2. Sequence the total scores in descending order. The higher the overall score is, the
higher the recommended priority is.
The recommended highest priority is 1.
l The algorithms for checking the missing neighboring cells are as follows:
In the case of an undefined neighboring cell, if the recommended priority of the neighboring
cell is not larger than the recommended number of neighboring cells, you can infer that the
neighboring cell is a missing neighboring cell.
l The algorithms for checking the redundant neighboring cells are as follows:
In the case of a defined neighboring cell, if the recommended priority of the neighboring
cell is larger than the recommended number of neighboring cells, you can infer that the
neighboring cell is a redundant neighboring cell.
Function Principles
The Nastar uses the MRs on the NE side for intra-frequency neighboring cell analysis.
Figure 4-6 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar. For
detailed operations, see Table 4-3.

Engineering Parameters
The engineering parameters for a specific area include the cell longitude and latitude and the
antenna azimuth. The information is used for the effective identification of neighboring cell
information and geographic display of analysis results during theme analysis.
In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, choose System Function >
Engineering Parameter Management. Then double-click Engineering Parameter
Management to check whether engineering parameters have been imported. If the parameters
are unavailable, you must import the engineering parameter template. The Nastar can import the
engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
After the engineering parameters are successfully imported, you are advised to check whether
the engineering parameters are consistent with the configuration data and whether the
engineering parameters are correct. For example, if the cell identification information in the
engineering parameters is not consistent with the configuration data, the TOP cell will be
repeated in the network geographic observation function.
The map file for a specific area displays the analysis result geographically. You do not need to
prepare the map file if you do not want to view the analysis result on the map.
You can import the map files in wor, tab, or sxwu format to the Nastar. If the PC is connected

Function Description
After you set the conditions for checking the redundant or missing neighboring cell
configurations, the Nastar performs inter-RAT neighboring cell analysis for the selected cell.
The analysis results are displayed on a bar chart. In the results, the defined neighboring GSM
cells, undefined neighboring GSM cells, redundant neighboring GSM cells, and missing
neighboring GSM cells are displayed in different colors.
The Nastar can export the inter-RAT neighboring cell analysis results. In the window of the
inter-RAT neighboring cell analysis results, after you add missing neighboring cells and delete
the redundant neighboring cells, the Nastar generates the analysis result file, which provides the
optimization suggestions.
You can export the results of the inter-RAT neighboring cell analysis as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files,
which help to optimize the neighboring cell relationship on the network.
Function Algorithm
Based on the information reported by the MS such as the signal level of a cell, the Nastar
calculates the total score and then sorts the defined and undefined neighboring GSM cells.
According to the ranks of neighboring GSM cells and result charts, users can analyze the
neighboring cells depending on the actual network situation, and then provide operation
suggestions on configuring the missing neighboring GSM cells and deleting redundant
neighboring GSM cells.
If the sequence number of a defined neighboring GSM cell is greater than Neighboring
Cell Count Setting (specified when a UMTS/GSM neighboring cell analysis task is
created), this defined neighboring GSM cell is regarded as a redundant neighboring cell.
Function Principles
The Nastar uses the UMTS MRs for UMTS/GSM neighboring cell analysis.

engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
After the engineering parameters are successfully imported, you are advised to check whether
the engineering parameters are consistent with the configuration data and whether the
engineering parameters are correct. For example, if the cell identification information in the
engineering parameters is not consistent with the configuration data, the TOP cell will be
repeated in the network geographic observation function.
If the matching BSC6900 version is V900R012, check that the parameters for tracing missing neighboring
cells have been configured before using the neighboring UMTS/GSM cell analysis function of the Nastar.

Function Description
In the UMTS network, different UARFCNs are assigned for networking indoors and therefore
a large number of inter-frequency handovers occur. The femto cell also requires a large number
of inter-frequency handovers. In addition, as the number of femto cells is increasing, a large
number of redundant neighboring cells are configured for the cells using UARFCN f1. Therefore,
different UARFCNs are used and network problems may occur due to incorrect configuration
of inter-frequency neighboring cells.
After the user sets the filter criteria of redundant or missing neighboring cell configuration, the
Nastar can perform inter-frequency neighboring cell analysis on the selected cell. The analysis
results are displayed in bar charts or line charts. In addition, different kinds of neighboring cells
are marked with different colors and neighboring cells are sorted by priorities.
The Nastar also supports the export of inter-frequency neighboring cell analysis result files. In
the inter-frequency neighboring cell analysis result window, after the user supplements missing
neighboring cells and deletes redundant neighboring cells, an analysis result file is generated,
providing related optimization suggestions for users. You can export the analysis results as
a .csv, .xls, or .xlsx file, which helps to optimize the neighbor relationship on the network.
Function Algorithm
This section describes the algorithms for UMTS inter-frequency neighboring cell analysis, such
as the algorithms used to check missing and redundant neighboring cells.
The Nastar calculates the overall scores of defined and undefined neighboring cells and ranks
them based on the inter-frequency measurement reports reported by UEs. Based on the UMTS
neighboring cell ranking and analysis results, the Nastar provides operation suggestions on
supplementing missing neighboring cells and deleting redundant neighboring cells depending
on the live network conditions.
The algorithms for UMTS inter-frequency neighboring cell analysis are as follows:
1. The algorithm for calculating the overall priority of each inter-frequency neighboring cell
of the serving cell is as follows:
The priorities are ranked by the cell received signal power. The stronger the received signal
power, the higher the priority. The higher the priority, the smaller the sequence number.
2. The algorithm for checking redundant neighboring cells is as follows:
If the sequence number of a defined UMTS neighboring cell in the inter-frequency
measurement report is greater than the value of Number of Configured Neighboring
Cells that is set when the user creates a UMTS inter-frequency neighboring cell analysis
task, this defined neighboring cell is considered as a redundant neighboring cell.
3. The algorithm for checking missing neighboring cells is as follows:
If the sequence number of an undefined UMTS neighboring cell in the inter-frequency
measurement report is less than or equal to the value of Number of Configured
Neighboring Cells that is set when the user creates a UMTS inter-frequency neighboring
cell analysis task, this undefined neighboring cell is considered as a missing neighboring
cell.
Function Principles
The data source of UMTS inter-frequency neighboring cell analysis is MR data on the NE side.
Figure 4-15 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar.
For detailed operations, see Table 4-8.

NOTE
The network scale specification for one analysis task is for reference only and is not restricted by the Nastar
software. If the network scale for one analysis task onsite exceeds this specification, however, the number
of supported analysis tasks and the duration of one analysis task will be changed.
The configuration data of the NE controlling the test cell and neighboring cells is used to correctly
analyze the information about the test cell and neighboring cells and collect the analysis data of
these cells from the network during the analysis process.
If the OSS information has been already configured, the Nastar automatically and periodically
collects and imports the configuration data after the OSS and NE information is configured. You
can also manually collect the configuration data before the specified time period starts. After
the configuration data is imported, you can choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance
Management to check whether the configuration data is available in the Nastar database. For
detailed information about collecting, importing, and checking, see 2.5.2 Checking the
Integrity of Configuration Data.
After the configuration data has been successfully imported, you are advised to check the validity
of the configuration data. The purpose is to avoid expiration of configuration data due to network
adjustment. Expired configuration data may cause incorrect cell information in the analysis
result. For detailed operations, see Checking Engineering Parameters and Configuration
Data.
Engineering Parameters
The engineering parameters for a specific area include the cell longitude and latitude and the
antenna azimuth. The information is used for the effective identification of neighboring cell
information and geographic display of analysis results during theme analysis.
In the navigation tree of the Analysis Task Management window, choose System Function >
Engineering Parameter Management. Then double-click Engineering Parameter
Management to check whether engineering parameters have been imported. If the parameters
are unavailable, you must import the engineering parameter template. The Nastar can import the
engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
After the engineering parameters are successfully imported, you are advised to check whether
the engineering parameters are consistent with the configuration data and whether the
engineering parameters are correct. For example, if the cell identification information in the
engineering parameters is not consistent with the configuration data, the TOP cell will be
repeated in the network geographic observation function.
The map file for a specific area displays the analysis result geographically. You do not need to
prepare the map file if you do not want to view the analysis result on the map.
You can import the map files in wor, tab, or sxwu format to the Nastar. If the PC is connected
to the Internet, you can view analysis results on the Google Earth. For details, see 2.5.4

Function Description
Pilot pollution refers to the situation when excessive number of signals have similar strength in
the same coverage area of a CDMA network. Due to the complexity of radio network coverage,
it is hard to obtain ideal signal strength.
Reconfigure radio parameters, adjust antennas, reconfigure NodeBs, add or delete neighbor
relationships, reconfigure frequency and scrambling code parameters, add sites (micro cells for
instance), and add repeaters.
Generate a dominant pilot in areas where pilot pollution occurs. Because pilot pollution may be
caused by various factors, network optimization engineers need to troubleshoot pilot pollution
in a comprehensive manner. The Nastar analyzes pilot pollution based on the calls of subscribers
and displays the analysis results on a map. This helps network optimization engineers quickly
locate polluter cells and polluted cells, improving troubleshooting efficiency.
Function Principles
The Nastar uses the MRs on the NE side for pilot pollution analysis.
Figure 4-19 shows the principles for collecting, importing, and analyzing data on the Nastar.
For detailed operations, see Table 4-10.

Management to check whether engineering parameters have been imported. If the parameters
are unavailable, you must import the engineering parameter template. The Nastar can import the
engineering parameter files in .csv, .xls, and .xlsx format, but engineering parameter fields must
be set correctly. For details about the fields and templates supported by the Nastar, see
Appendix: Engineering Parameter Templates.
After the engineering parameters are successfully imported, you are advised to check whether
the engineering parameters are consistent with the configuration data and whether the
engineering parameters are correct. For example, if the cell identification information in the
engineering parameters is not consistent with the configuration data, the TOP cell will be
repeated in the network geographic observation function.
Map Files (Optional)
The map file for a specific area displays the analysis result geographically. You do not need to
prepare the map file if you do not want to view the analysis result on the map.
You can import the map files in wor, tab, or sxwu format to the Nastar. If the PC is connected
to the Internet, you can view analysis results on the Google Earth. For details, see 2.5.4
Preparing the Map File (Optional).
Prerequisites
The UMTS configuration data and engineering parameters have been imported into the Nastar
database. For details, see 4.5.2 Preparations for UMTS Pilot Pollution Analysis.

Parameter Description
1st best CPICH Pilot pollution occurs when the following conditions are met:
RSCP - 4st best l In all the active set, monitor set and detected set, there are more than
CPICH RSCP three pilots the difference between whose RSCP and the RSCP of the
(dB)<Y strongest pilot is less than the threshold value.
l The RSCP of the four strongest pilots is more than or equal to the
threshold value.
CS service: The Nastar obtains data only when:
l The difference between the RSCP of the strongest pilot and that of the
fourth strongest pilot is less than Y.
l The RSCP of the four strongest pilots is more than or equal to M.
PS service: The Nastar obtains data only when:
l The difference between the RSCP of the strongest pilot and that of the
fourth strongest pilot is less than Y.
l The RSCP of the four strongest pilots is more than or equal to N.
Y indicates the difference between the RSCP of the strongest pilot and that
of the fourth strongest pilot. The default value is 5.
CS RSCP (dBm) M indicates the minimum threshold value when pilot pollution occurs in
>=M the CS service domain. The default value is -95.
PS RSCP (dBm) N: indicates the minimum threshold value when pilot pollution occurs in
>=N the PS service domain. The default value is -95.
