 Overview

 Radio network optimization (RNO) is the important step in network construction.

RNO adjust the planning and design reasonably , improve the network coverage,
increase the network capacity, improve the network service quality and resource
utilization ratio. Make the network operation more stably , and provide excellent
service.
 Data collection is the necessary premise of analysis and adjustment. Optimization
data including ： Driving test data （ DT ） ,Call quality test data （ CQT ） ,OMC
performance data, Customer’s complains, Alarm data , signaling data and other
data.
 ZXPOS CNT ( UMTS Edition, Short for CNT) is the professional network
optimization test software developed by ZTE . CNT helps the RNO engineer to do
the test and analysis. Locate network problem and evaluate network quality and
capacity, constitute the optimization solution.
