iManager PRS V100R015 System Overview
The PRS highlights MBB network visibility (including performance visibility, resource
visibility and user experience visibility) and facilitates the OM of MBB networks.
MBB network performance visibility, including network performance statistics
management, network KPI insight, and terminal abnormal signaling visibility.
MBB network resource visibility, including network capacity visibility, network-,service-,
subscriber-, and terminal-based traffic, bandwidth, and signaling usage.
Integrated with a data parsing database (provided through professional services) that
involves more than 1000 protocols and 600,000 IMEI-TACs, the PRS can parse 95% of
the data on an MBB network and analyze the parsed data in the network, service,
subscriber, and terminal dimensions. This helps plan and maintain the MBB network and
promote MBB services.
The PRS supports policy establishment and policy execution result evaluation. The
Plan-Do-Check-Adjust cycle helps telecom operators set up a smart closed-loop MBB
management system.
Plan (Point A): policy establishment. With MBB network performance and resource
visibility, telecom operators can obtain detailed information about the network and
establish bandwidth management and service promotion polices accordingly.
Do: policy execution. After polices are established, the PRS implements policy delivery
and execution by converting the policies to network configurations. With Huawei's smart
bandwidth management solution, telecom operators can dynamically establish various
polices for bandwidth management and service control based on subscriber priorities,
subscribers' access types, subscribers using a certain service package, service types,
network conditions, service usage, and flexible combinations of the preceding
information. This enables telecom operators to have full control on the services carried
on the MBB network.
Check (Point B): policy execution result evaluation. Telecom operators can collect
information about the network again and check whether the established and executed
polices have the expected effect and determine whether to adjust them.
Adjust: Adjust polices to achieve the optimal effect based the evaluation result.
Customizing KPIs
The PRS allows users to define counter formulas by performing combined
operations on original KPIs, system KPIs, and predefined KPIs. The operations
include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Users can also define
conditional counters such as worst cell ratio and busiest cell ratio by using
counter formulas containing if, min, max, count, avg, and sum conditions.
Customizing busy-hour rules
The PRS allows users to customize busy-hour rules and identify busy hours
based on specific scenarios.
Customizing reports
The PRS allows users to customize reports such as simple reports, comparison
reports, combined reports, and database-based query reports. Users can also
modify, delete, move, import, and export these custom reports as required.
Customizing report formats
By correlating reports with Excel templates, the PRS allows users to export report
query results using the predefined Excel templates. Users can also edit reports
by using various Excel functions, such as fonts, panes, formulas, charts, and
macros.
Generating and delivering reports on schedule
The PRS automatically generates reports based on the preset time and period.
The reports generated on schedule are delivered to a specified email box or FTP
server. In this way, users can obtain the reports by receiving emails or viewing
files on the FTP server.
The algorithm principle for threshold alarms is as follows: When the value of a KPI
exceeds the preset threshold, a threshold alarm is generated. When the value is less
than the preset threshold, the alarm is cleared.
The algorithm principle for incremental alarms is as follows: When the offset (absolute
value or percentage) of a KPI in the current and latest periods exceeds the preset
threshold, an incremental alarm is generated.
Raw statistics performance data on NEs is reported to the PRS server through the
U2000.
The PSSAU can be deployed with PRS on the OSS side or independently deployed on
the NE side. PSSAUs deployed in different locations must use channels in the same
network to report data.
a. User plane logs on the GGSN/PGW are reported to the PRS server through
the service network between the GGSN/PGW and the PSSAU.
b. Signaling plane logs on the SGSN/MME are reported to the PRS server
through the OM network between the SGSN/MME and the PSSAU.
c. User subscription logs on the policy and charging rules function (PCRF) are
reported to the PRS server through the service network between the PCRF and
the PSSAU.
BWM rule data and sampling rate information on the GGSN/PGW are reported to the
PRS server through the OM network between the GGSN/PGW and the U2000.
Raw statistics performance data on NEs is reported to the PRS server through the
U2000.
PSSAUs deployed in different locations must use channels in different networks to
report data.
a. If the PSSAU and PRS server are deployed in the same cabinet, the PSSAU
has to report data using the northbound network because the communication
between the PRS server and the U2000 and inside the PRS is based on the
northbound network.
b. If the PSSAU is independently deployed on the NE side where only the OM
network, instead of the northbound network, is deployed, data is reported to the
PRS server only through the OM network.
BWM rule data and sampling rate information on the GGSN/PGW are reported to the
PRS server through the OM network between the GGSN/PGW and the U2000.
If a service visibility PRS is deployed, only an ATAE board can serve as the PRS server,
and the number of ATAE boards varies based on network scales.
U2000
The U2000 manages NEs in a centralized manner.
It collects the performance data from devices on GSM BSS, UMTS RAN,
LTE eRAN, CDMA BSS, WiMAX RAN, TD-SCDMA RAN, SingleRAN,
and core networks, and report to the PRS server through the FTP
interface.
It collects the BWM rule data and sampling rate information on the
GGSN/PGWand report to the PRS server through the FTP interface.
TSP
It collects and preprocesses the user plane logs generated by the GGSN/P-GW,
the signaling plane logs generated by the SGSN/MME, and the user subscription
logs generated by the PCRF to meet the PRS analysis requirements.
PRS server
The PRS server can be divided into the following categories according to
different application scenarios:
Performance statistics server: Collects performance data and
configuration data from the U2000, parses the data, and generates
analysis results.
Service visibility server: Collects service data of the MBB network from
the TSP, parses the data, and generates analysis results.
PRS client
The PRS client software provides graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to display the
analysis results intuitively. You can log in to the PRS server from the Web-based
PRS client and perform the corresponding operations after successfully login.
Provisioning Event
This feature enables the PRS to access the Provision EDR data sources of the
UPCC to obtain subscription event records. The PRS allows users to query the
subscription event records and trend report of a specified subscriber within 90
days before the current date.
Policy Control
This feature enables the PRS to access the Ruel-Base EDR data sources of the
UPCC to obtain the records for the events triggered by subscriber policies. The
PRS allows users to query the records for the events triggered by subscriber
policies for a specified subscriber within 90 days before the current date, helping
telecom operators handle subscriber complaints.
Per Subscriber Quota Usage
This feature enables the PRS to access UPCC USDR data sources for querying
the historical daily quota consumption of a specified subscriber. Telecom
operators can specify any subscriber and query the quota consumption and
remaining quota of the subscriber within a specified time period per day. This
provides a basis for analyzing quota usage.
If users log in to the PRS server through the Citrix client, the PC used for login can be
configured based on requirements lower than those listed in this table.
Types and versions of physical NEs: The PRS resources that NEs consume vary
according to the NE type and version. Therefore, NEs of different types and versions can
be converted into equivalent NEs of different numbers.
Performance period: For an NE, reporting its performance data every 60 minutes or
every 15 minutes requires different hardware capabilities for the PRS.
The PSSAU is used to collect user-plane log data on the GGSN or P-GW, control-plane
log data on the SGSN or MME, and subscriber subscription log data on the PCRF. Then
the PSSAU preprocesses the data to meet PRS requirements.
The PS KPI real-time monitoring and PRS service visibility features need to be deployed
on both the PRS and PSSAU sides.
The default hardware configuration of the PRS supports the default storage duration.
The maximum storage specifications can be met only when the space of storage is
enough.
Only the following reports support the 5-minute level data storage:
Network traffic analysis
APN traffic analysis
RAN traffic analysis
Traffic analysis for bandwidth control policies
PCC rule analysis
Traffic blocking analysis
TopN application analysis
Application analysis for specified subscribers/subscriber groups
The PRS V100R016 supports web-based report display for a telecom operator's MBB
network without client installation and upgrade. The reports can be displayed in the form
of tables, line charts, pie charts, area charts, stacked area charts, clustered bar charts,
and stacked bar charts. This facilitates data browsing and analysis.
The functions supported by Java-based and Web-based clients are different, and after
V1R14, almost all the features are moved from Java client to web client.
Operation procedure:
Click in the upper right part of the Web browser to exit the PRS.
For the KPIs that can be defined for multiple object types, the data of different object
types is aggregated and calculated on the basis of one object type.
For example, the counter data of RNCs and that of cells can be aggregated to the
RNC level. The counter data of different function subsets can be calculated on
the basis of the same object type. For example, the data of the counters HSDPA
measurement per cell and HSUPA measurement per cell belong to different
function subsets, but they both belong to the UCell object.
EBC, Event Based Counter
EBC allows you to collect statistics about specified counters on the U2000 by
filtering call events. For example, EBC can filter call events by service feature
and PLMN.
EBC provides statistic collection for the accessibility, retainability, mobility, delay,
and resource utilization counter types. Each counter type (referred to as
measurement unit in EBC) has multiple counter templates (referred to as base
counters in EBC). For example, RRC.ConnReq.Att.w/oRetrans is a base
counter. You can use EBC to generate the corresponding counter based on the
base counter and specified filtering criteria. You can use the PRS or network
management system (NMS) to view the EBC statistic results.
EBC counters support only the cell object type.
The logical expression for conditional calculation can only be used as a parameter of the
function for conditional determination and cannot be used as a KPI. For example,
count([KPI1]>2) is a valid KPI formula, whereas [KPI1]>2 is an invalid KPI formula.
sum (expression):
Calculates the sum of expression regarding the object of the base dimension
under the specified object type.
max (expression):
Calculates the maximum value of expression regarding the object of the base
dimension under the specified object type.
min (expression):
Calculates the minimum value of expression regarding the object of the base
dimension under the specified object type.
avg (expression):
Calculates the average value of expression regarding the object of the base
dimension under the specified object type.
count (expression for conditional calculation):
Counts the number of objects of the base dimension that meet the condition
specified by the expression for conditional calculation under the specified
object type.
count() is equivalent to count(1=1). This function counts the number of objects
of the base dimension under the specified object type. This function is usually
used as the denominator in a KPI formula that calculates a proportion
In the formula:
“count(1=1)” is the total number of the cells in the BSC.
“[R3550N:Traffic Volume on Signaling Channels
(TCH)]>=0.6&&[ZTR304:Call Drop Ratio on TCH per cell(including
Handover)]>=3&&[K3041:TCH Congestion Rate(Overflow)]>=5” is the
definition of the worst cell.
“count([R3550N:Traffic Volume on Signaling Channels
(TCH)]>=0.6&&[ZTR304:Call Drop Ratio on TCH per cell(including
Handover)]>=3&&[K3041:TCH Congestion Rate(Overflow)]>=5)” is the
number of the worst cells in the BSC.

3. After the system automatically adds the IDs of KPIs, click Search in the
displayed Search Reference dialog box. On the Reference tab page in the lower
right pane of the KPI Management window, the KPI formulas and reports that
reference the KPI are displayed.
When you set the correlations between a KPI and multiple simple reports, the PRS can
automatically obtain the simple reports to be correlated according to the object type of
the KPI and the object type of the related upper-level or lower-level KPI. The correlations
between the KPI and the reports are saved in the system database.
Operation Procedure
1. In the main window of the PRS client, choose Performance Report > KPI
Management.
2. In the right pane of the KPI Management window, select a KPI that needs to
be correlated with certain reports in the KPI list, then choose Configure
Associated Report menu.
3. In the displayed Configure Associated Report dialog box, the system
automatically displays the reports that meet the conditions. Select the reports that
need to be correlated with the KPI, and then click OK.
For the KPIs that are correlated with certain reports, you can modify the correlations
between the KPIs and the reports.
When modifying the correlations between the KPIs and the reports, you can delete the
reports that are correlated with the KPIs in the Correlate KPI with Report dialog box. In
addition, you can select the reports that need to be correlated with certain KPIs.
In the web client, you can manage the KPIs, choose Report > Object Group
Management > Import KPI
Reports are managed and KPIs can be analyzed on the basis of object groups. You can
classify the objects that are of the same type into one set. The sets are referred to as
groups such as cell group, deployment site group, and RNC group. In this way, you can
perform the same operation on all the objects in an object group.
After creating an object group, you can perform the same operations on all the objects in
an object group.
The function of importing object groups enables you to create object groups through files.
By importing an .xls or .xlsx file that contains object group information, you can quickly
create an object group. Through the function of exporting object groups, the object
groups that are manually created can be shared among multiple PRS systems.
After creating object groups, you can modify their attributes according to actual
requirements to facilitate report management and KPI analysis.
Only one .xls or .xlsx file can be imported at a time. One file can contain information
about multiple object groups. The PRS differentiates object groups by object group
name.
The requirements for an object group file are as follows:
Each object instance is listed in a row in the table.
The first column lists object names. Other columns list object attributes. If the
name of an attribute is followed by an asterisk (*), this attribute is a key attribute.
The value of a key attribute must not be empty. Otherwise, the import will fail.
Objects of the same type are listed in one sheet and the default naming format of
the sheet is NE Type Name@Object Type Name.
If the number of the objects of a certain type exceeds the maximum number of
records allowed in one sheet, you need to add a sheet for saving the extra object
information. The default naming format of a sheet is NE Type Name@Object
Type Name.
User admin or users in the security management user group can grant different users
different management domains. When performing functions on the PRS, users can
perform operations on only the NEs in their management domains.
The icon indicates that the user is only authorized to view an object but is not
authorized to perform operations on the object.
Only users who are granted with the right to perform operations on All Objects can view
and perform operations on the network types and object types under Whole Network.
If a user has no NE operation right of an NE, the user cannot view or select the object
instances under the NE when performing functions such as report management, KPI
analysis, dashboard management, and traffic trend analysis.
Management domains in the PRS are invalid when users implement functions related to
Benchmark Management, Administration Tool and GIS Analysis.
On the Object Instance List tab page, user admin can view all object instances under
the NE type associated with an object group. When reconfiguring object instances, user
admin can add or remove any object instances under the NE type.
On the Object Instance List tab page, the creator of an object group can view all object
instances in the object group and add object instances whose object operation rights are
granted to the creator but are not members of the object group.
If user admin adds an object instance to an object group but object operation right of the
object is not granted to the object group creator, the object is marked by the icon .
The creator of the object group can only remove this object from the object group. In
addition, this object cannot be added after being removed.
If the creator of an object group is deleted, the object groups created by the creator are
not deleted automatically, but can be manually deleted by user admin. Three hours after
the creator of an object group is deleted, all the object instances under the object groups
created by the creator are removed.
After object groups are created, you can select a custom object group from the object
group list in the right pane of the Object Group Management window. Double-click or
right-click the selected object group, and then choose Property from the shortcut menu.
If the imported object group overwrites an existing duplicate object group when user
admin imports an object group, the creator of the object group is changed to user admin.
NE types and object types of the imported object group that overwrites the duplicate
object group must be the same as the duplicate object group.

Navigation paths:
You can switch to the GIS window from a query result in the Report Management,
KPI Insight, or Capacity Visibility window.
Click GIS in the upper area of the web PRS window.
In V100R016, the PRS supports integration with the online Google Maps and third-
party maps but the PRS server does not work as a map server.
Creating Rules
Users can define multiple sets of benchmark rules based on the radio
environment and apply the benchmark rules to specific devices or object groups.
The fixed benchmark rules apply to network swapping and network deployment
scenarios, and the floating benchmark rules apply to routine network monitoring.
Creating Reports
After benchmark rules are created, the PRS can automatically search for the
benchmark rules that match the selected object type when a benchmark report is
created.
Viewing Reports
In the query result of a benchmark report, you can view the KPI values of the
device or object being compared, benchmark values of the KPIs, benchmark
delta indicating the difference between the benchmark values of the KPIs and the
current values of the KPIs. The benchmark delta data enables you to learn the
difference between the benchmark values and the current values of the KPIs of
each object being compared.
Exporting Templates
If you want to create fixed benchmark rules by obtaining the benchmark values of
the KPIs from external data sources , you should export the benchmark template
and fill in the benchmark values.
It helps prepare site expansion plans and expand RAN hardware and license, improving
network management and optimization capabilities.
From the service perspective: The PRS evaluates each NE instance by evaluating
various resource items for the NE instance based on groups of related KPIs (each group
is displayed in one report). Then, it compares the KPIs with their thresholds based on
network optimization experience and generates evaluation results.
From the GUI perspective: The capacity resource usage on the entire network is
displayed in an overview window. In the window, users can select concerned items as
required to view details.
After you set the filter criteria, click Query. The capacity status query results are
displayed, including
Network capacity topology
Capacity resource status table
Peak capacity resource usage table.
The network capacity topology window provides an overview of capacity usage of all
NE instances you want to evaluate.
The number of analyzed NE instances is displayed in the Total area.
The capacity status of an NE instance is determined by the highest capacity usage
severity of all KPIs that participate in the severity classification. For example, if three
KPIs for NE A participate in capacity severity classification and their severities are
Critical, Normal, and Warning, the capacity status of NE A is Critical.
The status of NE interfaces is determined in a similar way.
You can enter an NE instance name in the text box in the upper left corner of the table to
located related NE instances.
You can click the drop-down arrow in a column heading. In the displayed drop-down list,
select a filter criterion to locate NEs or NE instances whose resource evaluation item
meets the criterion.
The status of capacity resources in this table is determined in a way similar to that in the
capacity status overview window but the resource belongs to only one NE.
peak capacity resource usage window, which displays the distribution of all NE
instances of an NE type based on key evaluation KPIs. Distribution information is
displayed in tables and charts. You can view accurate peak resource usage of related
instances in tables.
Click Graph/Table to switch between charts and tables.
Click the buttons (such as SPU Board or MPU Board) in the upper left corner of the chart
to view details about evaluation KPI groups for an evaluated resource.
Distribution information is generated based on the value ranges of analyzed KPIs and
then displayed in charts. Assume that KPI A is analyzed for five NEs and its value for
each NE is 4%, 18%, 20%, 21%, and 71% respectively. In this case, the numbers of NE
instances are classified as follows according to their resource usage: 1 NE instance with
resource usage less than 5%, 1 NE instance with resource usage greater than or equal
to 15% and less than 20%, 2 NE instances with resource usage greater than or equal to
20% and less than 25%, and 1 NE instance with resource usage greater than or equal to
70% and less than 75%.
When evaluating the network capacity, you can select a capacity-related object in the
capacity resource status table and drill down to view detailed resource status of the
object.
The status indicator above each tab page in the right pane of the query result window
indicates the highest alarm severity for a capacity-related object, which is consistent with
the corresponding status indicator in the resource status table. If the highest alarm
severity for a capacity-related object is Normal or Other, no status indicator will be
displayed on the corresponding tab page.
All capacity data about the board subsystem is displayed in the query result window.
In the drill-down result window, click Select Object in the upper left corner of a
chart. In the displayed dialog box, select the objects you want to display or hide in
the chart.
In the drill-down result window, click Threshold Line in the upper left corner of a
chart. In the displayed dialog box, view threshold information of a KPI.
You can click GIS in the upper left corner of a detailed capacity status chart. The key KPI
information about the selected NE instance is displayed in the GIS window. This helps
you observe the geographic locations of capacity resources. Capacity visibility support
GIS display on base station and cell levels.
Click Traffic Trend Report in a detailed capacity status window to view the traffic trend
information about the selected NE instance. You can query traffic trend information about
RNCs, NodeBs, and Ucells in the last three months, last six months, or last 12 months.
Click Traffic Model in a detailed capacity status window to view the traffic model
information about the selected NE instance. You can query traffic models only of RNCs,
NodeBs, and Ucells.
The KPI insight feature is developed based on Huawei’s mature network optimization
experience.
Different from common KPI statistical tools (providing only reports), the PRS allows
users to obtain the network performance data from each network object dimension by
using one-click query, and displays network performance data in indicator tables, charts,
data tables, and reports. The KPI insight feature has integrated rich network optimization
experience, which helps users perform network quality correlated analysis.
Search criteria
Area for users to set RAT, Object, Time dimension, From, To, and advanced
parameters. If users set these parameters and click Query, the corresponding
network quality analysis results are displayed.
Thresholds settings
Button for users to open a dialog box and set and modify KPI thresholds. When
monitoring the network and analyzing network problems, users can set the KPI
thresholds so that the PRS can render the status indicators for the corresponding
KPIs and correlated abnormal KPIs.
Filter criteria
Area for users to set KPI Group and object status.
The PRS provides the threshold management function for users to set and modify KPI
thresholds. When monitoring the network and analyzing network problems, users can set
the KPI thresholds so that the PRS can render the status indicators for the
corresponding KPIs and the KPIs in charts for correlated analysis of abnormal KPIs.
Click Threshold Setting in the upper right area of the KPI Insight window. The window for
setting KPI thresholds is displayed.
