1.3 Security Precautions

 Before collecting data, you must obtain the written authorization from customers.
Standard authorization must include the products or issue items, purposes, contents,
scopes, time limits, and other stipulations.
 Before collecting data, you must obtain anonymized personal data at the NE side. Ensure
that collected data has been anonymized.

 According to data sources required for themes to be analyzed, data collection must
comply with the principle of minimum range collection.

 Data can only be used within the authorization scope and time limit. Data use must be
dedicated for a specified person, and records can be queried.
 You are advised not to transmit raw network data out of networks of security sensitive
countries and to China.
 After an analysis task is complete, yon need to immediately delete raw data and the
OMStar project. Saving raw data or backing up the database is not allowed. Delete the
project in the Project Manager window.
 To protect user privacy, the OMStar displays scrambled personal data.
 The OMStar can export or save analysis results. Export the analysis results of features
containing personal data with caution. Ensure that the exported analysis results are only
used for network problem analysis. By default, the OMStar exports scrambled analysis
results.

1.3.1 Impact of the Anonymous Policy on OMStar Service

Features
Impact of the MSISDN Anonymous Policy on Fuzzy Search
The MSISDN anonymization policy affects NDC-based analysis and MSISDN-based fuzzy
search. (NDC is short for national destination code.)
OMStarV5R14C10U3
UMTS Data Collection Guide 1 OMStar Data Source Overview

An example is described as follows: With MSISDN-based fuzzy search, users can obtain
8613612345678 and 13612345678 by entering 136. However, after being scrambled, the
preceding numbers might become E806AABCE0B44EC25128DB and
3698FD5BC48C1E36BEBE64 which have nothing in common.
Affected features are CHR browsing and signaling browsing.

Collision Possibility of the IMEI Anonymous Policy

The IMEI anonymization policy anonymizes 6 to 8 digits excluding the IMEI TAC of an
IMEI. It allows the OMStar to compress an 8-digit code into a 4-byte code and obtain a
resulting HASH 32-byte code by using the HMAC-SHA256 algorithm. Then, the OMStar
takes and decodes the preceding 4 bytes as the anonymization result.
In theory, collisions are possible because the obtained HASH codes are one eighth of the
original codes in length. A collision occurs if two different 8-digit numbers are converted into
the same new 8-digit hexadecimal number after they are anonymized. Based on laboratory
data, the probability of collisions is approximately 0.012%.
Two different IMEIs might be regarded as the same IMEI in the statistical results if their IMEI
TACs are the same. This affects the accuracy of terminal analysis results.
Affected features are call drop deeply analysis, access failure deeply analysis, signaling
browsing, and CHR browsing.

1.3.2 Enabling the Anonymization Function

Before collecting personal data containing IMSIs, enable the anonymization function on the
U2000 client and then collect data. Perform the following operations to enable the
anonymization function:
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Anonymous Policy Management.
OMStarV5R14C10U3
UMTS Data Collection Guide 1 OMStar Data Source Overview

Step 2 The Anonymous Policy Management window is displayed. Click Anonymous policy, select
Enable anonymous policy, and click OK to enable the anonymization function.

 2 General Principles for Data Collection

Based on the onsite tool deployment situation, you can use the NIC tool to automatically or
manually collect data. You are advised to use the NIC tool for data collection. If the NIC tool
is not available, you can manually collect the data.
Description of the M2000 and U2000: The U2000 is the network management system on the
RAN side. In versions earlier than V200R014, it is called M2000. The product name M2000
is changed to U2000 from V200R015 and later. In this document, the operation on the U2000 is
used as an example. The operation on the M2000 is almost the same as that on the U2000. If the
operations on the U2000 and M2000 greatly differ, they are described separately in specific

2.1.1 Starting the NIC
Step 1 Start the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). Type http://Server IP address/nic and press Enter.
In SSL mode, you need to type https://server IP address: 31040/nic in the address bar of the
IE.
The server IP address refers to the IP address of the U2000.
In the Security Alert dialog box, click Yes. In the Security Information dialog box, click
Yes.
 If U2000 established SSL to register safely, then need to set certificate in the IE. The method is as
follows:
1. Open the IE tool > Internet option > content > certificate > import the right certificate
2. You can obtain the certificate files from the U2000 install path:
\client\client\style\defaultstyle\conf\ssl\keyStore\PFX\client.p12
\client\client\style\defaultstyle\conf\ssl\trust\PEM\trust.cer
P.S Consultation the manager of U2000 to obtain the password of client.p12.
Step 2 In the NIC login window, type the user name, password, and verification code. Click Login.
 Overview of NIC in Co-Deployment Mode

1. Task Management: Used to create a collection task (for selecting the collection scenario,
the NEs from which data is collected, and the time range of collection).
2. Scenario Management: Used to customize a collection scenario that the SOP collection is
unavailable (optional).
3. NE Management: In Co-Deployment Mode cannot create or delete an NE.
4. NE Mediation Version Information: Check the NE Mediation Version information on
U2000.

2.1.2 Creating a Collection Task

After preparations, use the NIC stand-alone version to collect data in the specific collection
scenarios

Collecting UMTS Data

Step 1 Click the Task Management tab. Select Unfinished Tasks in the Navigation Tree, and select
Based on Scenario from the Create Task drop-down list box in Task List.
Step 1 Set Task Name, and select UMTS from the Product Type drop-down list box, and select
BSC6900_SOP from the Scenario(Group) drop-down list box.

Step 2 Click Next to set Data collection time range.

Data collection time range: You are advised to collect data of three to seven days (if the time
range is too large, the collection and analysis efficiency is affected).

Step 3 Select Display by NE type. Select an RNC under the BSC6900 UMTS node in Optional
NEs, and move the selected RNC to Selected NEs. Then, click Next.
 During routine inspection and maintenance SOP, you need to select only BSC/RNC. If
Display by Topo structure is selected, the BTSs/NodeBs under the selected BSC/RNC are
also selected when you select a BSC/RNC. As a result, the total number of NEs may exceed
the upper limit.

For R12 version and earlier, click each NE in the left pane, ensure that the parameter settings
of each NE are correct, and click Next.

Step 4 Set additional information such as Name and Email, and click Next.
 Do not select Download collection results by NEs. Otherwise, the OMStar cannot identify
the downloaded packet.

Step 5 After ensuring that the collected information is correct, click Finish to start executing the
collection task.
 Collecting GSM and UMTS Data
Step 1 Click the Task Management tab. Select Unfinished Tasks in the Navigation Tree, and select
Based on Scenario from the Create Task drop-down list box in Task List.

Step 6 Set Task Name, and select SingleRAN from the Product Type drop-down list box, and
select BSC6900GU_SOP from the Scenario(Group) drop-down list box.

Step 7 Click Next to set Data collection time range.

Data collection time range: You are advised to collect data of three to seven days (if the time
range is too large, the collection and analysis efficiency is affected).
Step 8 Select Display by NE type. Select an RNC under the BSC6900 UMTS node in Optional
NEs, and move the selected RNC to Selected NEs. Then, click Next.
During routine inspection and maintenance SOP, you need to select only BSC/RNC. If
Display by Topo structure is selected, the BTSs/NodeBs under the selected BSC/RNC are
also selected when you select a BSC/RNC. As a result, the total number of NEs may exceed
the upper limit.

For R12 version and earlier, click each NE in the left pane, ensure that the parameter settings
of each NE are correct, and click Next.
Step 9 Set additional information such as Name and Email, and click Next.

Do not select Download collection results by NEs. Otherwise, the OMStar cannot identify
the downloaded packet.
Step 10 After ensuring that the collected information is correct, click Finish to start executing the
collection task.
 Collecting Data for RNC and NodeB PMI

 The UMTS_SOP V5.2 script package (matched with OMStar V500R008C00SPC200)

supports the NodeB preventive maintenance inspection
(DBS3900WCDMAV200R013C00/BTS3900WCDMAV200R013C00). The OMStar
whose version is earlier than V500R008C00SPC200 does not need to collect the NodeB
data.
The NIC in co-deployment mode provides the access of all NodeBs in the following versions. The NIC
in co-deployment mode in the OMStar of earlier versions does not support the NodeB data collection.
iManager U2000 V200R011C01SPC240 and later versions
iManager U2000 V200R012C00SPC220 and later versions
 The following section uses the UMTS NE as an example. The data collection method for
the SingleRAN is the same.
 The method described here also applies to the NICs in stand-alone and co-deployment
modes.
You are advised to collect data of one RNC and its corresponding NodeBs for the RNC and NodeB
preventive maintenance inspection. It is recommended that you create multiple collection tasks for
multiple NEs.
 Before collect the NodeB performance data, you should make sure the U2000 let the
NodeB performance to be saved.

Collecting RNC and NodeB Data in One Task

 In BSC6900 V900R014C00SPC200 and later versions, the Scenario(Group) names of
RNC and NodeB are both SOP. For RNC and NobeB co-collection task, see step 3.
 In BSC6900V900R014C00SPC200 earlier versions, As the UMTS_SOP and the
NodeB_SOP collection scenarios belong to different groups, they cannot be selected
concurrently when you create a collection task. You can modify the groups that the
UMTS_SOP and NodeB_SOP collection scenarios belong to ensure that the two
collection scenarios belong to the same group by performing the following operations.
Then, the RNC and NodeB data can be collected concurrently in one task.
 One task collects the data of 1 RNC and 249 NodeBs at most. (In U2000
V200R012C01SPC230 and later versions, when the NIC is co-deployed with the U2000,
a collection task can support the data collection of one RNC and 999 NodeBs, and the
NIC automatically divides the task to four subtasks.)
Step 1 Modify the group that the UMTS_SOP scenario belongs to.
Choose Scenario Management > UMTO_SOP to view the scenario configuration of the
BSC6900UMTS_SOP. Change the default group UMTS_SOP to SOP and click Save As. In
the displayed dialog box, change the scenario name to BSC6900UMTS_SOP_NEW.
If the number of existing scenarios in the NIC exceeds 200, the modification cannot be saved.
Collect data by referring to section "Collecting the RNC and NodeB Data Separately and
Creating a Data Package."
Step 11 Modify the group that the NodeB_SOP scenario belongs to.
Choose Scenario Management > NodeB_SOP to view the scenario configuration of the
NodeB_SOP. Change the default group NodeB_SOP to SOP and click Save As. In the
displayed dialog box, change the scenario name to NodeB_SOP_NEW.

Return to the Task Management window to create a collection task, choose the SOP scenario
group, and select the UMTS and NodeB collection scenarios.
Step 12 Collecting the RNC and NodeB Data Separately and Creating a Data Package
If you cannot concurrently collect RNC and NodeB data in one task in the methods described
in section "Collecting RNC and NodeB Data in One Task" collect the RNC and NodeB data
separately and manually create a data package to perform the PMI.

1. Create a UMTS_SOP collection task and obtain an RNC data package.

2. Create a NodeB_SOP collection task and obtain a NodeB data package.

You can select a maximum of 1000 NodeBs in one task. The NIC automatically collects data
of 1000 NodeBs per subtask.

3. Compress the UMTS_SOP and NodeB_SOP collection results into a data package by

performing the following operations.

The UMTS_SOP and NodeB_SOP collection tasks obtain the following two collection
results:

Drag the data folders in the UMTS compression package to the directory of the NodeB
compression package. Then, you obtain a combo data package.
2.1.3 Data Collection Based on Customized Collection
Items
Collecting LTE configuration data, Performance Data, and internal CHR data is used as an
example. The data collecting method for other RATs is similar.
Step 1 Select Based on Customize Collection Item on the Task List tab page.

Step 2 Set the task properties in the Custom Task Creation Wizard window.
Step 3 Set the time range for data collection.
Step 4 Select NEs whose data needs to be collected.

Step 5 Select collection items.

Collecting configuration data, Performance Data, and internal CHR data is used as an
example. The selected collection items are eNodeB configuration, Obtain Performance
Data of the U2000, and Call log collection. If you need to collect other data sources, select
an item from Available collection items and move it to the list of Selected collection items.
Step 6 Set detailed parameters of collection items.
Step 7 Set additional information about the task.
Do not select Download collection results by NEs during the settings. Otherwise, the
OMStar cannot identify the collected data.
Step 8 Confirm information about the data collection again and click Finish to start data collection.
2.1.4 Viewing the Collection Result
During collection, view the progress of the whole collection task and the progress and running
status of each NE.

The data collection results are saved.

The NIC stand-alone version collects and saves data.
The save path of NIC V100R006C00SPC500 and later versions is Installation directory of
the NIC\NIC\var\nic\task ID.

 Task IDs are generated randomly, for example, 10002, 10003, and 10004.
 Check whether the task ID folder saves the collection task created by the user based on the
collection task name in the folder.

After data collection by using the NIC in co-deployment mode, collection results are
downloaded and saved through a web page, as shown in the following figure:

Collection results are downloaded in .zip format. The naming convention of the data package
is collection task name_timestamp, as shown in the following figure:

The data packet downloaded by the NIC in co-deployment mode from the GUI must be copied to the
directory that is used as the database directory when you create a task in the OMStar V500R009. The
version earlier than OMStar V500R008C00SPC200 does not support the download of data packet by the
NIC in co-deployment mode.
 Record the directory for saving the data collection results for the further analysis of the
OMStar in one-click mode.
If the online deployment mode is used (that is, the NIC and the OMStar are installed on the
same PC), record only the directory for saving the collected data.
If the offline deployment mode is used (that is, the NIC and the OMStar are installed on
different PCs), copy the data in the task ID folder to the PC where the OMStar is installed,
and record the directory for saving the collected data.

2.2 Manual Data Collection

This section mainly describes how to manually collect RNC data and NodeB data required by
the OMStar.

2.2.1 BSC/RNC Configuration Data Collection

The BSC/RNC configuration data result files used by the OMStar are MML configuration
scripts (*.txt), which are exported from the RNC using MML commands.
Step 1 In the address bar of the Internet Explorer, enter the IP address of the BSC, log in to the Web
LMT, and click MML.

Step 2 Enter and run the EXP CFGMML command. In the command output, the save directory for
configuration data is displayed.
Step 3 Start the File Manager tool to download configuration files.

In the File Manager window, find the configuration data in the directory displayed in the
EXP CFGMML command output and click Download to download the files to the local PC.
2.2.2 RNC Performance Data Collection
In the File Manager window, BSC and RNC Performance Data are stored in the
\bam\common\MeasResult directory. The Performance Data can be directly downloaded.
You need to download only the files whose names contain EMS-NORMAL.

For Neighboring UMTS Cell Analysis, UMTS Antenna Fault Detection and UMTS Antenna
Reverse Detection, you need to start the Measurement of Neighboring UMTS Cell
Performance by U2000. Perform the following steps:
Step 1 Log in to the U2000 client, and choose Performance > Measurement Management.
 Step 2 Select the Measurement of Neighboring UMTS Cell Performance and RNC that you want
to collect, and select all counters in the module of Setting->60 minutes on the right of
window. Click button Apply to start the performance measurement. The performance files on
the next period will contain the counters of Measurement of Neighboring UMTS Cell
Performance.

2.2.3 RNC Alarm Log Collection

Step 1 Use the Web LMT to run the COL LOG command. Set Log File Type to
HISTORY_ALARM. Retain the default values of other options. The system collects alarm
logs of all levels and all time by default.
 Step 2 Use the File Manager tool to download alarm logs. The file directory is
\bam\version_b\ftp\COLLOGINFO\ALM-LOG. Click Download to download the files.

2.2.4 RNC MML Report Collection

Use the Web LMT to run the MML commands, such as DSP LICUSAGE. Store the
command output information as a .txt file or select Save Result to save the command output
information directly.
2.2.5 RNC CHR/MR Data Collection

Raw data contains personal user data (such as IMSI). Before collecting the data, you must obtain
the written authorization from customers and anonymize personal data at the NE side. Ensure
that collected data has been anonymized.

Use the File Manager tool of the Web LMT to download CHR\MR files. The file directories
are as follows. Click Download to download the files to a local PC.
UMTS PCHR data directory: \bam\common\fam\famlogfmt\pchr\
If UMTS PCHR data is used for UMTS in-depth call drop analysis and UMTS access failure
analysis, ensure that the event functions for call drops and access failures in the PCHR have
been enabled. Event functions to be enabled and MML commands to be run are as follows:
Event functions to be enabled:
CONN_SETUP, RRC_RELEASE, RRC_RELEASE_RF, RRC_RELEASE_MSG,

UMTS MR data directory: \bam\common\fam\mr
To use UMTS MR data for neighboring cell analysis, run the SET UMRCTRL and SET
UMRSCOPE commands to enable MR collection of neighboring cells. For details about the
commands and the impacts of the commands on NEs, see the related MML command
reference.
In the SET UMRCTRL command, set MR Trace Traffic Type to TRAFFIC_AMR, MR
Intra-freq Measurement period to D12, and MR Report Configure Switch to a proper
value based on actual situations.
SET UMRCTRL:
RTRAFFICTYPE=TRAFFIC_AMR-1&TRAFFIC_VP-1&TRAFFIC_BE-

MRDLBLERPERIOD=D12, MRUETPPERIOD=D12, MRULSIRPERIOD=D12,
MRLCSPERIOD=D12;
In the SET UMRSCOPE command, specify Scope Type to set the NE objects to be enabled.
For V9R12\V9R13\V9R14
SET UMRSCOPE: SCOPETYPE=ByRack, SRN=0, SN=0, SSN=0, MRSCOPECTRL=ON;
For V9R15 and the later version
SET UMRSCOPE: SCOPETYPE=ByRnc, LOGICRNCID=1230, MRSCOPECTRL=ON;
The commands for turning on the switch for detecting missing inter-frequency and inter-RAT
neighboring cells are as follows:
 R13: Run the SET UAUTONCELLDETECT command to set the GSM BSIC scope
and BCCH ARFCN scope.
 R13.1: Run the SET UAUTONCELLDETECT command to set the switch for
detecting missing neighboring cells and parameters in the SON.
 R14: Run the SET UAUTONCELLDETECT command to set the switch for detecting
missing neighboring cells and parameters in the SON.
 R15: Run the ADD UCELLAUTONCELLDETECT command to set the switch for
detecting missing neighboring cells and related parameter groups, and run the ADD
UAUTOGSMNCELLGROUP command to set the BSIC scope and BCCH ARFCN
scope.
 R16: Run the ADD UCELLAUTONCELLDETECT command to set the switch for
detecting missing neighboring cells and related parameter groups, and run the ADD
UAUTOGSMNCELLGROUP command to set the BSIC scope and BCCH ARFCN
scope.
 R17: Run the ADD UCELLAUTONCELLDETECT command to set the switch for
detecting missing neighboring cells and related parameter groups, and run the ADD
UAUTOGSMNCELLGROUP command to set the BSIC scope and BCCH ARFCN
scope.

The impact of enabling the MR collection function by running the SET UMRCTRL
command is as follows:
Enabling the MR collection function increases the processing overhead on the control plane of
an NE. Therefore, you are advised to set the MR period parameter with caution. The
following example is a typical CPU usage scenario: If the MR period is set to 12s, the SPU
CPU usage on the RNC increases by about 10% when all types of cell-level MR collection
functions are enabled on the RNC.
The impact of enabling the MR collection function by running the SET UMRSCOPE
command is as follows:
 After the MR collection function is enabled for cells, the amount of control plane data to
be transmitted increases. This increases the probability of congestion exceptions
occurring over the Uu and Iub interfaces for such cells during control plane data
transmission.
 If the number of cells for which the MR collecting function is enabled increases, the
processing overhead on the control plane on the RNC increases.
 After the MR collection function for specified areas is enabled by running the SET
UMRSCOPE command, the CPU usage increases.
For details, refer to the MML Command Reference.
 After the data collection is complete, run the preceding commands one by one to disable each
MR collection function. In addition, the SET UMRSWITCH command is added in RAN15.0
and later, and can be used to enable all MR collection functions at a time.

2.2.6 RNC Operation Log Collection

Step 1 Use the Web LMT to run the COL LOG command. Set Log File Type to OPT_LOG.

Step 2 Use the File Manager tool to download alarm logs. The file directory is
\bam\version_b\ftp\COLLOGINFO\OPT-LOG. Click Download to download the files to a
local PC.
2.2.7 UMTS RTWP Data Collection

Step 2 In the NE tree in the left pane, select a NodeB and click Backup to back up the configuration
data of the NodeB. The backup process is displayed in the Immediate Task list in the lower
part of the window. After the backup is complete, the FTP directory storing the NodeB
configuration data is displayed in the NE Backup List. You can obtain the configuration files
from this directory using the FTP. The file name is NodeBCfg.xml. The system downloads
the NE description information file neinfo.xml at the same time. You do not need to pay
attention to it.
2.2.11 NodeB Performance Data Collection (.mrf)
The NodeB Performance Data files in .mrf format are stored in a fixed directory on the
U2000, /export/home/sysm/ftproot/nbi. You can directly access this directory on the U2000
using the FTP.
In this directory, the Performance Data files are stored by NodeB. The Performance Data of
each NodeB is saved in one folder named after the NodeB FDN.

2.2.17 Property Data Collection

You can use the U-Net to create property data for MapInfo interaction. You can also export
the planning results from the U-Net to Google Earth.

Precautions for Preparing Property Data

Before preparing property data, you need to observe related precautions.

I. Precautions
 If no geographic data is imported before you calculate property data, the exported
property data is based on ground coordinates. If geographic data has been imported when
you calculate the property data, the exported property data is based on longitude and
latitude coordinates.
 The property data is exported as TXT files. Each property data file contains the file head
and file body.

II. Head of a Property Data File

The head of a property data file describes information when the file is generated. A parameter
and its value are separated by pressing Tab. For details about the file head format, see Table
2.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.1.

Table 2.2.17.1.1.1.1.1.1 Format of the property data file head

Parameter Description

timestamp Time when feature data is exported. Format: hh:mm:ss dd-
mm-yyyy.
resolution Precision of exporting feature data. The unit is meter.
xmin Northwest longitude of the area from which feature data is
exported. Feature data is exported based on the WGS84
 coordinate system.
xmax Southeast longitude of the area from which feature data is
exported. Feature data is exported based on the WGS84
coordinate system.
ymin Northwest latitude of the area from which feature data is
exported. Feature data is exported based on the WGS84
coordinate system.
ymax Southeast latitude of the area from which feature data is
exported. Feature data is exported based on the WGS84
coordinate system.
x_num_pixels Number of grids from which feature data is exported in the
horizontal direction.
y_num_pixels Number of grids from which feature data is exported in the
vertical direction.

III. Body of a Property Data File

The body of a property data file records the feature value of each geographic location.
Currently, it records the latitude and longitude, cell information, and received signal level of
each grid center.
Each line in the body of a property data file is organized in the following format:
longitude; latitude; index of the cells in the grid located in the preceding longitude and
latitude coordinates; LAC-CI; downlink received signal level in the primary BCCH

Preparing Property Data

You can prepare property data by creating a prediction group and calculating related counters
in the group.

Prerequisites
 The geographic data has been imported.
 Base station information has been created or imported, including sites, transceivers, and
cells.
 The calculation area is created.

Procedure
Create a prediction group and calculate related counters in the group. You need to calculate the
CPICH RSCP prediction counter for UMTS.

Step 1 Optional: Set global parameters for prediction.

After you set global parameters for prediction, the new prediction groups have the same
global parameters. The following figure shows an operation example.
 Figure 2.2.17.1.1.1.1.2 Properties

The prediction precision affects the reliability of prediction results and the duration of prediction
calculation. A smaller value of prediction precision indicates higher prediction precision and longer
duration of prediction calculation.
You are advised to set the prediction precision to be the same as the path loss calculation precision and
the map precision.

Step 2 Create a prediction group.

The following figure shows an operation example.

Figure 2.2.17.1.1.2.1.1 New

Step 3 In the displayed dialog box, set prediction group name, whether to calculate immediately, and
select prediction counters.
Figure 2.2.17.1.1.3.1.1 shows an operation example (GSM). For counter description, see
Table 2.2.17.1.1.4.1.1.2.

Polygon Area calculated in prediction.
Cell Edge Coverage Probability of cell edge coverage, which is the probability that
Probability the receive signal strength is stronger than the threshold at the
edge of a cell.
With Shadow Specifies whether shadow fading is considered during
calculation.
Indoor Coverage Specifies whether penetration loss is considered during
calculation.
Compare With Specifies whether to compare prediction results with one or
DT/CW more pieces of DT/CW data on the live network.
The U-Net compares prediction results with DT/CW data on the
live network only when DT/CW data has been imported and the
counter Best Server, CPICH RSCP, CPICH Ec/Io, HSUPA
RLC Peak Throughput, or HSDPA RLC Peak Throughput is
selected.
counter(DT/CW) indicates the value of this counter in DT/CW
data. For example, DL RSRP (DT/CW).
counter(Prediction - DT/CW) indicates the counter difference
between the value to be planned and the value in DT/CW (the
difference is obtained by subtracting the value in DT/CW from
 the planned value). For example, DL RSRP (Prediction -
DT/CW).
After this option is selected, the prediction result area is the
same as the area of the selected DT/CW data.
With MR/DT Specifies whether to calculate link loss based on MR/DT data
LinkLoss on the live network.
You can click Advanced LinkLoss Parameter to set path loss
parameters. For parameter description, see Error: Reference
