Areas for Network Optimization

Areas for Network Optimization
UTRAN
• Capacity Optimization
– Provide sufficient resources to set-up and maintain the services
– Radio Resources (logical and air interface resources)
– Transport Resources (ATM, AAL2 Resources) IP/ETH
– Processing Resources (RNC, WBTS processing), MIMO, DC
-> Enable available resource measurements in UTRAN
• Coverage Optimization
– Provide sufficient coverage for the end user to access the system
– Coverage is UL and DL;
– Multilayer Planning, HCS, Rel99, HSPA, and HSPA+
-> Based on Drive testing, PM data available

Network Optimization Principles

bad Reflect in performance

Network optimization commonly started to improve quality:
• Success Rate KPIs

– Services Mix (voice Call drop, data, high speed data throughput , delay),
– E2E QoS (QoE), separate RAN KPI (see Concept)
– Mobility (SHO, ISHO, IFHO, inter-RNC mobility, Interworking with LTE)
• Coverage KPIs
– CPICH RSCP and Ec/No analysis
▪ physical changes on antennas, Tilt /azimuth, install RET, check pilot
pollutions
▪ parameter changes if (SHO overhead) > 35%

In some cases optimization is purely based on call drop analysis
• Reported call drop from ticket-system

– difficult to track since details missing (more detail use Traffica tool)
– ISMI trace could be used to get details (more detail use Traffica tool, or
Trace Viewer NetAct)
• Drive testing campaign

– cluster level performance analysis
– analysis of dropped calls in the critical areas,
– Troubleshooting verification, select the worst area and troubleshooting

Sometimes optimization is reducing unnecessary signaling
• Especially for RRC procedures

– Mobility signaling
– Reduce Active Set Update procedures
– Minimize processing load in UE and RNC
– Less resources needed gives more resource freedom for the system
• Normally side-effect from “normal” network optimization

– good to keep an eye on

Network Performance Reporting

NSN NetAct Tools
NSN NetAct contains variety of tools which can be used for Performance
monitoring and data analysis
• NetAct Reporting tools – KPI/Report Browser, Reporting Suite
• Traffica Tools – Real Time Traffic Monitoring and Troubleshooting
• NetAct Monitoring - Subscriber and Equipment Trace
Reporting Tools

Reporting In NSN NetAct
Report Builder & Explorer Reporting Suites

 with default Report Sets  With enhanced Report Set
 Reports created with Report builder
can be accessed from web via the
Report Explorer
NetAct
PM DB

Reporting Suite
• ready made reports for analysing network performance - most based on collected
PM data and NSN-defined KPI’s
• some reports also include radio network parameters and alarm information
• user can create own customized report with own KPI definitions for Reporting Suite
Ready made
reports
Export To
excel

Reporting Suite
Drill down options and KPI/PI formulas can be accessed from result window

Traffica – Real-Time Traffic Monitoring and
Troubleshooting
Real-time traffic monitoring and troubleshooting
tool for Multi-vendor networks
Analysis of subscriber behaviour, roaming,
mobile types, used services. Receives and
stores a record of each:
• Call & Call attempt
• sent or received SMS,
• PDP context event etc.
Updates counters and present the traffic in real-
time graphs:
• Number of events
• Number of failures
• Clear Codes etc.
Traffica can be used monitoring, for example,
congestion, dropped calls, setup failures, RNCs/BSCs,
RACs/LACs, SACs/cells and CGRs. They can also
verify the effect of changes in the configuration in real-
time.

Subscriber and Equipment Trace
Subscriber and Equipment Trace provides:
• detailed radio interface data from GSM, GPRS/PaCo and 3G networks
• calls can be traced by using subscriber's IMSI, MSISDN or equipment’s IMEI
number, Mobile Model (type) behaviour
• calculate the traffic load according categories of UE in the Network, to complete
the Traffic Model table of Operator
Subscriber trace can be used for:

• In system testing and provisioning phase for trouble shooting and network
optimisation. E.g. As certain cell coverage, network integrity & QoS
Limited multi-vendor support

• Trace data is collected only from NSN elements and viewed by TraceViewer
Local data protection laws must be taken into account before individual data
analysis

Subscriber and Equipment Trace
• Trace viewer is tool to start/stop traces

• Monitor results by using graph or textual reports
• Trace data can be exported to csv.

Network optimization commonly started to improve quality:

• Success Rate KPIs

7 © Nokia Siemens Networks RN31662EN40GLA0

In some cases optimization is purely based on call drop analysis

• Reported call drop from ticket-system

• Drive testing campaign

8 © Nokia Siemens Networks RN31662EN40GLA0

Sometimes optimization is reducing unnecessary signaling

• Especially for RRC procedures

• Normally side-effect from “normal” network optimization
