Report Type
System reports consist of simple report and combined report.

Custom reports consist of simple report, combined report, DB-based report, and comparison report.
Simple report
Comprises one or multiple subreports. The NE type and object type are unique. Comprises one or more simple reports that can be of different NE types and object types. Refers to a report that is created after you enter the customized SQL statements or select a stored procedure.
Combined report
DB-based report
Comparison report
Compares multiple KPI values at a specific time during two time segments and displays in a comparison chart.
Method of Storing Aggregation Data
Time dimension
The results of objects can be aggregated from a small time granularity to a large time granularity in the following ways: raw period hour, hour day, day week, day month
Object dimension
The results can be aggregated by object dimension from a low level to a high level, for example, from cell to BSC, or from cell to cell group.
Data aggregation is performed by object dimension and then by time dimension in sequence.
After data is aggregated by both time dimension and object dimension, the aggregated data is displayed in a two-dimensional cross table (involving object and time dimensions), and the data aggregated by each dimension is stored.

Benchmark Overview
The France Telecom (FT) and Network Technology Service (NTS) request the function of KPI benchmarking.
1 The requirements for KPI benchmarking of the BYG swapping project in France SFR are as follows:
(1) The cluster-level KPIs instead of cell-level KPIs before and after the network swapping need to be compared. The cluster-level KPIs after the network swapping must not be worse than those before the network swapping. (2) Generally, the average KPI values one to two weeks before the network swapping are regarded as the benchmark values.
2 The NTS requests that the KPIs before and after the network optimization be compared. 3 It is requested that the benchmark values be calculated on the basis of history
performance data for monitoring network performance.
Page 49
Benchmark Definition
Fixed benchmark
In a fixed benchmark rule, the benchmark value is fixed. Fixed benchmark rules are classified into fixed benchmark rules (system) and fixed benchmark rules (imported). The difference between the two types of fixed benchmark rules lies in data sources of the benchmark
values. The benchmark values of fixed benchmark rules (system) are

from the internal PRS system, and the benchmark values of fixed benchmark rules (imported) are from external data sources.
Floating benchmark
In a floating benchmark rule, the benchmark value is variable. The benchmark value of a floating benchmark rule is obtained by adjusting the average value based on the internal history data in the PRS.
