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.

Cell Bandwidth Insight


The PRS uses Gn convergence nodes to collect statistics on network-wide data rates
instead of subscriber experience, and provides subscriber's experience data rate in each
cell under each RAT. In addition, the PRS calculates the target data rate based on the
service model used on a live network, helping users determine the distribution of high-
value regions where subscriber experience is poor and helping telecom operators'
network construction department to make periodic dynamic planning. This enables
telecom operators to make the best use of their budget and improve network
competitiveness, thereby improving subscriber loyalty.
Integrated Service Statistics
This feature is an enhanced feature that is developed based on traditional protocols and
application reports. Based on the differentiated service rules and charging control rules for
telecom operators' proprietary services and third-party services, the PRS analyzes the
traffic, number of subscribers, quality, and standard bandwidth of the proprietary services.
This helps users manage such services conveniently and quickly.
Email SPAM User Statistics
The PRS collects statistics on and displays the TopN connections used by all subscribers
to send emails and the TopN blocked connections for sending emails in lists. This helps
telecom operators analyze the subscribers who send a large number of emails within a
short period of time and cause network congestion, thereby evaluating the gateway's
function of blocking emails when a large number of emails sent within a short period of
time cause network congestion.
Rating Group Traffic Statistics
This feature enables the PRS to collect statistics on traffic trends by rating group (RG),
thereby helping telecom operators determine whether the RG classification rules are

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.

Adding Custom KPIs


You can customize KPI formulas to create custom KPIs on the basis of system
KPIs and predefined KPIs.
Setting Condition Formats of KPIs
Set a format template for a KPI as required and set the default format template of
a KPI. After you set a default format template for a KPI, the PRS highlights the
KPI data that meets the display conditions in the foreground and background
colors specified in the template during report query and KPI analysis.
Setting the Threshold of a KPI
You can set the threshold of a KPI as required. After the threshold is set, if the
actual value of the KPI is greater than the upper threshold, the upper threshold is
displayed in the query result. If the actual value of the KPI is smaller than the
lower threshold, lower threshold is displayed in the query result.
Setting the Display Modes of a KPI When It Is Divided by Zero
For the KPI that contains division algorithm in the counter formula, you can set
the divide by zero rules so that the KPI can display in specified mode when it is
divided by zero.

Searching for KPI Referencing Relationships


You can query information about the KPI formulas and reports that reference a
specific KPI.
Setting Correlations Between KPIs and Reports
You can query the service reports that are correlated with a KPI so that traffic
problems can be analyzed in details and problem location efficiency can be
improved.
Importing or Exporting Custom KPIs
By importing KPIs, you can copy KPIs of other PRS system or the U2000 system.
You can export KPIs from the existing system and then import the KPIs to
another PRS system. This avoids repeatedly defining KPIs and improves work
efficiency.

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.

related interconnection information to ensure that Google maps are available.
Managing Maps
You can add a local map, modify map-related parameters, or delete a map that you have
added based on application scenarios. This helps simulate the geographic environment
and facilitates the location and analysis of network problems.
Filtering Cells
By using the layer management and filtering function, the PRS system can display on a
GIS map only the cell information on a selected network system.
Searching for Cells or Base Station
The GIS analysis function provides a search function to help users quickly locate a cell or
base station on a GIS map.
Moving /Zooming in or out on /Viewing the Panorama of a map
You can zoom in or out on a map, move the map up, down, to the left, or to the right, or
view the panorama of all the objects in the map window.
Measuring Distance on a Map
You can measure the distance between two points on the map through the measuring
tools.
Defining a Rendering Rule
This section describes how to define a rendering rule. The PRS allows you to define a
rendering rule for a KPI that you want to analyze or pay attention to and displays the KPI
based on the rule on a map.

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.

1.Set measurement counters


You need to set the measurement counters related to network capacity
monitoring for NEs on the U2000 (M2000) client to ensure that the NEs can
properly report measurement results to the U2000 (M2000). These results are the
data sources for your queries in the network capacity monitoring window.
2. Obtain network performance data
You need to ensure that the PRS server can obtain analysis data before you
perform related analysis during network capacity monitoring.
3. Set KPI thresholds
You can set KPI thresholds as required. The PRS renders the corresponding
resource status indicators on the network capacity monitoring and analysis GUIs
based on these thresholds.
4. Identify network capacity bottlenecks
You can evaluate the network capacity based on the network resource topology
and network resource status table and then identify the network capacity
bottlenecks to ensure that the network runs properly.

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.

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%.
