Measurement Tools for Radio Network Optimization (RNO)

-
STS: Statistics and Traffic Measurement Subsystem (STS) is implemented in the BSC (and MSC). It gives statistics about events in different parts of the system such as cells and equipment. By continuously supervising the results from STS the operator can obtain a very good overview of the radio network performance which can help to detect problems early. For further information,

MRR Measurement Result Recording (MRR) collects information from the measurement results sent by the BTSs to the BSC. Information such as RXLEV, RXQUAL etc. is included. The tool is for instance used for routine supervision or for checking specific cells. MRR is a part of the Radio Network Optimization (RNO) package in OSS

TEMS Automatic Tems Automatic is a tool within the TEMS product portfolio, where several special mobile stations are placed in for instance taxis and buses. The set of mobiles are supervised centrally and the measurements are sent directly to this center. TEMS automatic provides the operator with information about subscriber perceived quality from many parts of the network.

R-PMO The real-time performance monitor provides real-time statistics in order to receive instant feedback of performance from sudden changes of the network, either by the network itself (e.g. hardware faults) or by operator initiated changes (i.e. parameter, feature or frequency changes). For operator initiated changes, faster tuning can be achieved. R-PMO also provides a high degree of detailed information, such as timestamps on events, and flexibility, such as user defined reports.

NOX Neighbouring Cell List Optimization Expert (NOX) is a tool meant as a support for the operator for optimization of the neighbouring cell relations. This is done by collecting and handling data from measurement reports, handover statistics and general network configurations. The outcome is suggestions to remove superfluous or add new neighbouring cell relations. The user can set whether the changes should be implemented automatically or require an approval by the user.

FOX Frequency Optimization Expert (FOX) measures for possible interferers in order to find suitable frequencies to define in cells. FOX supplies the operator with suggestions about frequencies at e.g. network/hardware expansions or frequency reallocations.

SYROX Synchronized Radio Network Optimization Expert (SYROX) is a tool intended to support the operator with planning of parameters that control the frequency hopping for a group of Synchronized Cells in order to minimize the interference in the network. Apart from the fact that a group of mutually synchronized cells is required, SYROX also requires that the optional BSS features FAS (FOX recording mode), and Flexible MAIO Management are available.

SCFT - Single Cell Function test

-
Single Cell Function test SCFT is for verifying whether individual BTS works well or not, by making a single cell function test of BTS hardware and software. Essential items to be tested are as follows: 1) BTS Transmitter Output Measurement Test 2) Initial parameter establishment (Pilot PN/System ID/Site ID/Frequency, Neighbor List) 3) Call Origination and Termination Test 4) Softer Handoff Test/Antenna installation check (Direction, Tilt, Transmission Line) 5) Single Cell Coverage Test 6) Noise Floor Test 7) Parameter check.

Troubleshooting for GSM KPIs (SD Block & SD Drop)

-
KPIs to be monitored: ·             SD Blocking ·             SD Drop SDCCH Channel: ·    SDCCH channel is a dedicated channel which is using for LAC updation, Call Setup, SMS in Ideal mode. It works in UL & DL SD Blocking: ·    SD Blocking means that you are not getting SD resource for the call origination. When MS connects with Network then RACH and AGCH are provided. After AGCH, SDCCH is provided but if SDCCH is not provided at this time due to some problem or due to unavailable of SD by BSC. KPI Formula in Ericsson: ·             SDCCH CONGESTION = (CCONGS / CCALLS) * 100 ·             CCONGS - Congestion counter. ·  ...

PS core network

Image
The PS core network consists of two parts, the traditional General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) core network and the new Evolved Packet System (EPS) core network. The PS core network connects mobile subscribers to Packet Data Networks (PDNs) such as the Internet, corporate networks or operator services networks.  a functional overview of the PS core network. Logical entities and interfaces are shown in black and form a 2G/3G network, while the blue boxes and lines in Figure  show the LTE/EPC related parts. The LTE/EPC network can be regarded as an extension and evolution of existing 2G/3G networks. From a node implementation perspective, there is no strict border between the two networks. The corresponding logical entities of GPRS and EPS networks can be deployed concurrently in Ericsson PS core nodes, such as the SGSN-MME and EPG; these are marked in red. In addition, Ericsson GPRS nodes can be upgraded with EPC functionality by software only. Network evolution i...
