UMTS Feature Introduction

* UMTS Intra-Frequency Neighboring Cell Analysis

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 28

Overview
Summary
• Proper neighbor relationship can ensure that a UE at the edge of a serving cell can be handed over in a timely manner
and that the handover gain is obtained. This helps reduce intra-network interference, improve the quality of service
(QoS) of the network, and ensure stable network performance. This feature provides the suggestions on determining
intra-frequency neighboring cells as missing or redundant neighboring cells and helps customers optimize neighboring
cells.
Benefits
• UMTS network characteristics determine the following basic networking scenario: intra-frequency cell networking at
the same network layer, and inter-frequency cell networking between different layers. The UMTS network system is a
self-interference system. Therefore, intra-frequency neighboring cell optimization plays a vital role in network
optimization.
• Data sources of this feature include neighbor relationships (synchronized from the U2000) in MRs and configuration
files and engineering parameters. The feature checks whether any neighboring cell of the test cell is missing or
redundant and whether the priorities need to be adjusted. It also provides the recommended priority sequence of
neighboring cells. By comparing the suggested priorities and the configured priorities, customers can optimize UMTS
intra-frequency neighboring cells of the current network in batches. This reduces DT and manual analysis costs and
improves the network optimization efficiency.
Application Scenarios
• Neighboring cell optimization after network adjustment: If the neighbor relationship changes due to the network
deployment, migration, and expansion, neighboring cell optimization is required.
• Periodic network-level neighboring cell optimization: Due to network adjustment generated by the change of network
scale and subscriber distribution, neighbor relationships on the overall network need to be checked and optimized
periodically.
• Neighboring cell optimization in some areas: Neighboring cells are optimized for cell clusters or VIP areas with poor
KPIs in a centralized manner.

Overview (1)
 Summary
Based on the control-plane data (such as call logs and MRs) generated during
subscribers' calls, this feature allows users to restore information about call service
quality, RAN environment, and key signaling procedure from the time and space
dimensions, helping engineers locate and resolve history call problems.

 Benefits and Application Scenarios

Restores historical call records from time and space dimensions, quickly locates
complaint problems, and reduces drive test (DT)-based recurrence to improve
operators' efficiency in handling subscriber complaints.

 Feature Introduction
 Provides geographic observation of abnormal events experienced by a single
subscriber.
 Users are provided with statistics on the distribution of root causes of abnormal events.
 Users are provided with the CDR correlation and drilldown of abnormal events.
 Users are provided with CDR trace playback of abnormal events (only for VIPs).
 Provides CDR query of a single subscriber.
 Users can query and export all CDRs (normal and abnormal CDRs) of a single subscriber.
 Users can drill down the following detailed information about CDRs:
– Signaling (Common subscribers provide signaling before call release and VVIPs provide all-signaling
and code streams.)
– MRs (Intra-frequency MRs, inter-frequency MRs, inter-RAT MRs, and UE TxPower MRs)
– RABs (CS RAB setup/release, PS RAB setup/release, and RAB process statistical data)
– Other RRC CDRs (RRC setup, RRC release, and RRC process statistical information)
 Users are provided with the CDR trace playback (only for VIPs).
 Users are provided with geographic observation correlation of abnormal events for
abnormal CDRs.

* UMTS VIP Analysis

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 54

Feature Description
Summary

This feature is designed for subscribers of companies (organizations) or subscribers of specific groups
that show the same characteristics. It identifies call data of VIPs based on the international mobile
subscriber identity (IMSI) reported by UEs during voice services, and analyzes the data. This feature is
used to proactively ensure the network performance in hotspot areas or problems-frequently-occurred
areas where VIPs are located, and analyzes VIP calls deeply. This helps engineers quickly identify and
locate possible network problems experienced by VIPs, ensures good service experience of VIPs,
improves their satisfaction, and avoids important subscriber loss.

Application scenarios
Application scenario 1: VIP or VIP group routine performance monitoring
Periodically monitoring the service usage of VIPs or VIP groups and identifying active cells during routine
network operation & maintenance (O&M) to detect network problems in a timely manner, improve the
VIPs' or VIP groups' experience, and retain key subscriber groups.
Application scenario 2: Guaranteeing network performance during major events
Monitoring network performance for key subscribers during major events, such as leader inspection or
sports meeting to ensure activity smooth development.
