Chapter 4
Data Management
Data management allows users to import various data automatically or manually and
manage the imported data in the UniPOS NetMAX system. All data management
operations are managed as tasks.
Data Management Functions

The UniPOS NetMAX system provides the following data management functions:
l Establishes connections to EMSs and NDSs
l Imports engineering data
l Imports radio data
l Imports MR, CDT, DPI, and MR-EMI data
l Imports performance data
l Imports feeder balance and RSSI data
l Imports neighbor red/black lists
l Deletes engineering data, MR/CDT/DPI data, feeder balance and RSSI data
l Manages UE information
l Manages tasks
Some data can be imported or deleted manually or automatically, including radio data
and performance data. The automatic import and deletion functions are disabled in the
system by default. Users can set and enable a plan for using the automatic import or
deletion function. If a plan is set for importing specific data automatically, users must set a
corresponding plan for deleting the data automatically to avoid insufficient free disk space
caused by accumulated data.
Note:
The default settings are recommended when multiple plans are set for automatically
importing or deleting different types of data.

For a description of the parameters for neighbor cell optimization, refer to Table 5-6.
Table 5-6 Description of Parameters for Neighbor Cell Optimization
Neighboring cell priority Algorithm for adjusting priorities of neighbor cells: Average or
algorithm Threshold.
l Average: When this algorithm is used, all neighbor cells
are sorted in descending order of the number of handovers
to the neighbor cells, and then divided into three groups
in descending priority: Priority 0, Priority 1, and Priority
2. These three groups contain equal or similar number of
neighbor cells.
l Threshold: When this algorithm is used, the system
determines the priority (0, 1, or 2) of a neighbor cell by
comparing the ratio of handovers from a serving cell to the
neighbor cell to all handovers from the serving cell to its
neighbor cells (including virtual handovers to non-neighbor
cells) with the preset thresholds.
à If the handover ratio to a cell is greater than the upper

threshold, the priority of this cell is set to 0.
à If the handover ratio to a cell is less than the upper thresh-

old but greater than the lower threshold, the priority of this
cell is set to 1.
à If the handover ratio to a cell is less than the lower thresh-

old, the priority of this cell is set to 2.
5-24

After neighbor cell optimization in accordance with this

algorithm, the numbers of neighbor cells with priorities 0, 1,
and 2 may be different.
The thresh of HIGH Upper threshold used for deciding the priority of a neighbor
measurement priority (%) cell, which is available when Threshold is selected from the
Neighboring cell priority algorithm list.
The thresh of LOW Lower threshold used for determining the priority of a neighbor
measurement priority (%) cell, which is available when Threshold is selected from the
Neighboring cell priority algorithm list.
The thresh to add neighbor Threshold for adding a neighbor cell relation.
cell relation (%) If the handover ratio to a cell is greater than the threshold for
adding a neighbor relation, this cell is set as a neighbor cell of
the serving cell.
The thresh to delete Threshold for deleting a neighbor cell relation.

neighbor cell relation (%) If the handover ratio to a cell is less than the threshold for deleting
a neighbor relation, the neighbor relation between this cell and
the serving cell is removed, meaning that this cell is no longer a
neighbor cell of the serving cell.
The Max distance to find the The maximum distance from the serving cell in meters, which
cells (m) determines the area for locating neighbor cells for the serving cell.
2. Select a priority algorithm, and then set the corresponding parameters as required.
3. Click OK.
5.4.9 Setting Parameters for Validity Check of Neighbor Cells

This procedure describes how to set parameters for validity check of neighbor cells in the
Options dialog box.
Context
A UE in idle status receives a neighbor list from the SIB11 message that is broadcast by
a Node B. If the number of neighbor cells exceeds the maximum number allowed in the
SIB11 message, the Node B broadcasts the information of remaining neighbor cells to the
UE through a SIB11bis message. The system checks the validity of neighbor cell relations
of a cell by comparing the detected numbers of different types of neighbor cells with the
preset parameter values.
For example:
l If the system detects that the number of intra-frequency WCDMA neighbor cells of a
cell is less than 3 (the default minimum required number) during validity check, it is
5-25

recommended to add new cells that meet neighbor relations as the neighbor cells of
this cell.
l If the system detects that the distance between a cell and one of its neighbor cells is
longer than 5000 meters (the default maximum distance), it is recommended to delete
the neighbor relation between these two cells.
Steps
1. In the Options dialog box, click Neighbor cell validity check settings in the left pane.
The default parameter settings are displayed on the right part of the dialog box, see
Figure 5-26.

indicators for coverage analysis:
l Downlink Received Signal Code Power (RSCP)

l Downlink Ec/Io
l Uplink Transmit Power (TxPower)
6-1

l Block Error Ratio (BLER)

By viewing the statistical results of these indicators, you can locate the cells with coverage
problems. The system also supports displaying the statistical results on an electronic map,
on which the indicator values within different sections (value ranges) are highlighted in
different colors.
Note:
The procedures for displaying statistical result and distribution map of different
coverage–related indicators are similar. For displaying the statistical result and distribution
map of downlink Ec/Io, uplink TxPower, and BLER, refer to "Displaying the Statistical
Results of Downlink RSCP" and "Displaying the Distribution Map of Downlink RSCP".
6.1.1 Displaying the Statistical Results of Downlink RSCP

The UniPOS NetMAX system analyzes the imported MR data and counts the downlink
RSCP values in accordance with the preset sections (value ranges). By analyzing the
statistical results of downlink RSCP values in a cell, you can determine whether the cell is
in poor coverage.
This procedure describes how to display the statistical results of downlink RSCP in the

6.2 Displaying the Association Map of Coverage

Indicators
Two associated coverage–related performance indicators can be analyzed together to
locate cells with poor coverage. For example, you can:
l Analyze RSCP and Ec/Io together to check for interference in the network. The
coexistence of high RSCP and low Ec/Io indicates interference in the network.
l Analyze RSCP and TxPower together to check for uplink-downlink imbalance in the
network.
l Analyze Ec/Io and TxPower together to obtain the correlation between uplink and
downlink.
This procedure describes how to display the association map of RSCP and TxPower for
coverage analysis.

5. Select two performance indicators to be analyzed, for example, RSCP and TxPower.
6. Click on the toolbar. The association map of the RSCP and TxPower is displayed,
see Figure 6-10.
6-10

Figure 6-10 Association Map of RSCP and TxPower
All RSCP and TxPower values are displayed on the association map (two-dimensional
coordinate), looking like a nebula. The abscissa indicates the actual range of RSCP
values, and the ordinate indicates the actual range of TxPower values.
Straight lines parallel to the abscissa and those parallel to the ordinate cross each
other and divide the map into different squares by the minimum value units of RSCP
and TxPower. Each square specifies two value ranges for RSCP and TxPower
respectively.
The background color of the grid is blue. The system highlights a square in a gradient
color from blue to red in accordance with the percentage of RSCP values and TxPower
values within the ranges of the square. A higher percentage is highlighted in a brighter
red.
The nebula indicates the network coverage in an intuitive way. In a network with
good coverage, most RSCP values are located within the range from –105 to –75,
and most TxPower values are within the range from 30 to 20. Therefore, you can
determine whether the network coverage is good by observing the highlighting colors
of the squares in the ranges from -105 to -75 on the abscissa and from 30 to 20 on the
ordinate. For example, the nebula on the association map displayed in Figure 6-10
indicates a good network coverage.
6-11

6.3 Displaying the Statistical Results of Uplink and

Downlink Coverage Indicators
This procedure describes how to display the statistical results of TxPower, RSCP, and
Ec/Io.
Prerequisite
Context
The system can analyze the uplink coverage indicator (TxPower) and downlink coverage
indicators (RSCP and Ec/Io) together for coverage analysis. It compares the reported
indicator values (RSCP, Ec/Io, and TxPower) with their thresholds. If a reported RSCP
or Ec/Io value is less than the preset threshold, the system sets a "NOK" flag, which
indicates poor downlink coverage. If the associated TxPower value is lower than the preset
threshold, the system sets an "OK" flag; which indicates good uplink coverage. Then the
system obtains a report of coverage indicator values in (NOK, OK) state. Four kinds of
reports may be obtained after the association statistics, refer to Table 6-2.
Table 6-2 Uplink and Downlink Coverage Flag Combinations
Downlink Coverage Uplink Coverage (TxPower) Flag Combination

(RSCP/Ec/Io)
NOK NOK (NOK, NOK)
NOK OK (NOK, OK)
OK NOK (OK, NOK)
OK OK (OK, OK)
By analyzing the statistical results of associated coverage indicators, you can locate the
cells with high percentages of (NOK, OK) and (OK, NOK) reports that indicate imbalance
between downlink and uplink, and (NOK, NOK) reports that indicate coverage holes. Such
cells should be optimized.

The UniPOS NetMAX system can analyze the imported data for each cell and provide
suggestions for optimizing the neighbor cell relations of the cell, such as adding a neighbor
cell relation, deleting a neighbor cell relation, and changing the priority of a neighbor cell.
Prerequisite
The required engineering data, radio data, and performance data have been imported into
Context
In a UMTS network, a handover only occurs between a cell and its neighbor cells. If no
neighbor relation is configured between two adjacent cells, call drops may occur between
these two cells. If handover never occurs between a cell and one of its neighbor cells,
this neighbor cell is a redundant neighbor cell. The redundant neighbor cell may cause
unavailability of sufficient valid neighbor cells and prevent the addition of other neighbor
relations due to the limit on the number of neighbor cells.
8-12

A UE measures all cells in the monitor set, including neighbor cells and non-neighbor
cells, and sends the measurement reports to the RAN. By analyzing these measurement
reports, the system can detect missing neighbor relations that cause handover failures and
redundant neighbor relations. In addition, the system can define the priorities of neighbor
cells for a cell depending on the handover records in the measurement reports.

the electronic map, refer to Table 8-4.
Table 8-4 Toolbar Buttons for Managing Neighbor Cell Relations
Button Description
Enables or disables the display of neighbor cell relations on the

electronic map. For details, refer to steps 2 to 3.
Renders cells on the electronic map by RNC, LAC, RAC, and PSC.
For details, refer to step 4.
2. Click . The system enables the display of neighbor cell relations.
3. Click a cell (serving cell) on the electronic map, for example, Cell3572. All neighbor
cell relations that are configured for the cell are displayed in lines, see Figure 8-24.
8-22

Figure 8-24 Neighbor Cell Relations on the Electronic Map
A line with a single arrow indicates a unidirectional neighbor cell relation, meaning
that the neighbor cell relation is only configured for the serving cell. A line with double
arrows indicates a bidirectional neighbor cell relation, meaning that a neighbor cell
relation is configured for both cells connected by the line.
4. To render specific cells on the electronic map, perform the following operations:
a. Click on the toolbar. The Partition Display dialog is displayed, see Figure
8-25.
Figure 8-25 Partition Display Dialog Box
8-23

b. Under Show Type, select a type for rendering specific cells, for example, RNC.
All RNC IDs are displayed in the right pane.
c. In the right pane, select an RNC ID (for example, 358), and then click OK. The
cells of the selected RNC are rendered in red on the electronic map, see Figure
8-26.

8.5 Checking the Validity of PSCs

The UniPOS NetMAX system can detect intra-frequency cells using the same PSC by
specific algorithms based on frequencies and neighbor cell levels specified by users. The
neighbor cell levels are defined in accordance with the neighbor relations between cells.
For example, if cell A has a direct neighbor cell B, and cell B has a direct neighbor cell
C, the system deems cell B as a level-1 neighbor cell of cell A, and cell C as a level-2
neighbor cell of cell A.
In addition, the system provides the information of intermediate paths between two
intra-frequency cells using the same PSC. You can export and analyze the path
information, and delete unnecessary neighbor cell relations to solve the problem without
changing the PSC of a cell.
This procedure describes how to check the validity of PSCs.
Prerequisite
l The required engineering data, radio data, and performance data have been imported
into the system.
8-24

Steps
1. On the client GUI, select Parameter Check > PSC validity check from the menu bar.
The Primary Scrambling Code Validity Check window is displayed, see Figure 8-27.
Figure 8-27 Primary Scrambling Code Validity Check Window
2. Select a frequency from the Select frequency list, select a neighbor cell level (for
example, 2) from the Calculate layer level of neighbor cells list, and then click
Check. The system starts checking all level-1 and level-2 neighbor cells of each
cell, and a message showing the checking progress is displayed. After the check
is completed, the intra–frequency cell pairs using the same PSCs are displayed in the
right pane of the window, see Figure 8-28.
Figure 8-28 PSC Check Results
8-25

3. Click Export detail result. The Save as dialog box is displayed.

4. Select a directory for saving the check results, enter a file name, and then click Save.
An Excel file is generated in the selected directory. This file contains the information
of intermediate paths for each neighbor cell pair.
5. Open the Excel file. The information of intermediate paths between cells is displayed
by lines, including RNC ID, cell ID, cell name, PSC, and neighbor cell level, see Figure
8-29.
Figure 8-29 Intermediate Paths
The following explains the path information in Figure 8-29:

l Cell 11343 is the serving cell. It uses the PSC 238.
l Cell 12643 is a leve-1 neighbor cell of Cell 11343. It uses the PSC 253.
l Cell 10343 is a level-2 neighbor cell of Cell 11343. It uses the PSC 463.
l Cell 12503 is a level-3 neighbor cell of Cell 11343. It uses the same PSC (238)
as Cell 11343.
In the Excel file, the characters in the Level column indicate the neighbor relations
between cells:
l A<–>B: A is a neighbor cell of B, and B is a neighbor cell of A.
l A–>B: B is a neighbor cell of A, but A is not a neighbor cell of B.
l A<–B: A is a neighbor cell of B, but B is not a neighbor cell of A.
8.6 Managing Baseline Scenes of Radio Data

This procedure describes how to set the scenes for baseline comparison. Each scene
uses a baseline comparison mode.
Steps
1. Select Parameter Check > Radio Baseline Scene Manage from the menu. The
Radio Baseline Scene Manage window is displayed with existed scenes, see Figure
8-30.
8-26

Figure 8-30 Radio Baseline Scene Manage Window
2. Perform one of the following operations to add a scene.

l Click on the toolbar, and then select and import one or multiple excel files to
the system.
l Click on the toolbar, set the user-defined scene in the displayed User Define
Scene dialog box, see Figure 8-31.
Figure 8-31 User Define Scene Dialog Box
3. (Optional) Select the check box in the Selected row for the scene to be modified, click
, set the scene name and template file in the displayed dialog box, and then click
OK.
4. (Optional) Select the check box in the Selected row for the scene to be deleted, click
to delete the scene.
5. (Optional) Select the check box in the Selected row for the scene to be exported, click
, and then set the local directory for saving the scene file.
