Downloading Operational Logical Configuration from Alcatel-Lucent 9153 OMC-R
and transforming it into an easy-to-read ASCII format to start and optimization
task using the 9955 RNP tool
- Cell design logical parameters
- Frequency Plan
- Neighborhood Plan
- Time Slot Allocation & Configuration



Analysis of Operational Logical Configuration using statistics and cross-checks
- Consistency checks on operational configuration to prepare OMC clean-up
- Visualization of Logical Configuration using OMC Viewer
- Statistical Evaluation Cell Parameters and HO Relations

Consistency Checks on Optimized Configuration coming from 9955 RNP tool in
COF format
- Cross-checks between planning data files
- Statistics on planning data
- Parameters checking
Consistency Checks between optimized planning configuration and operational
configuration
- Cell identification is unique and clear

Report on expected impact of Planning on the Network
- Number of LAC/CI changes
- Number of frequency changes
- Number of hopping mode swap operations
- Number of HOs creation/deletion
- Number of GPRS enable/disable operations
- Number of created/deleted 2G External cells
- Number of created/deleted 3G External cells
- Number of impacted cells/BSCs
-

Creation of ACIE file for the OMC-R with these changes for an automatic process
of implementing the planning configuration in the OMC-R

PRC Generator Main Features
Changes in the OMC-R

Possibility to change non-COF parameters that are modifiable via the ACIE
interface
Different levels of granularity besides planning data:
- Network wide default value
- Cell class dependent value
- Exceptional values (at cell, adjacencies, BSC level)
Thus offering a very powerful
automatic support for implementing
both planning and optimization
parameters in the GSM OMC-R

Twin TRX, MC-TRX 900, MC-RRH 900 and MC-TRX 1800 hardware information is
extracted by PRC Generator from dedicated export files from OMC-R
Twin TRX, MC-TRX 900 configurations exported in COF files can be imported into
9955 RNP and used in planning activities.
Dedicated checks to reveal the configuration of the TRXs in the network and
detect if any changes are intended from planning
Note:
- TWIN TRX is available since B9 MR4 ED.07 BSS Release
- MC-TRX 900 is available in B11 MR1 Ed.01, B11 MR1 Ed.2, B11 MR1 Ed.3, B11 MR3 Ed.1,
B12.1 and B12.2 BSS Releases
- MC-RRH 900, MC-RRH 1800, MC-TRX 1800 are available in B11 MR1 Ed.3, B11 MR3 Ed.1,
