(collecting data from the M2000).
Table 1-2 Networking mode of the Nastar GSM (collecting data from the M2000)
Scenario Description
On commercial GSM networks, the M2000 manages all the NEs in the
BSC6000. The network optimization data is stored in the M2000.
Number of Data
Collection Servers
On the BSS network where the M2000 manages all the NEs, the number of
collection servers is the same as the number of the M2000 servers.
Huawei recommends that you place the collection server and PNS in the same
equipment room. In this way, you can configure, manage, and upgrade the
collection server conveniently.
Interconnection Mode
If the PNS and the M2000 are located on different network segments, the
collection server should be configured with double network cards. If the
PNS and the M2000 are located on the same network segment, a network
card is configured to the collection server.
The FTP service should be installed and started in the M2000 and PNS.
For the original network optimization data stored in the M2000, you can set
the storage period to 5-10 days.
If the Nastar data collection server and the PNS are not integrated in one
physical entity, you can set the storage period of the original data on network
optimization in one BSC to 3-6 months.
Advantage, Disadvantage,
and Limitation
1-6
The stationary IP address of the collection server can be added to the access
list of the M2000 firewall. Thus, the collection server can collect the
optimization data from the M2000.
The stationary IP address of the collection server can be added to the access
list of the firewall in the PNS. Thus, the collection server can upload the
collected optimization data to the PNS.
If the Nastar data collection server and the PNS are integrated in one
physical entity, you can set the storage period of the original data on network
optimization in one BSC to 1-3 months.
The PNS does not store the original network optimization data.
The planning of the networking mode is clear and distinct. The Nastar
collection server and analysis server are placed together. In this way, you can
manage them conveniently. You can obtain the performance data of the BTS
through the M2000.

in one physical entity, you can set the storage period of the
original data on network optimization in one BSC to one
month.
The PNS does not store the original network optimization
data.

1 Overview
The server imports data and performs public functions, such as the client and
management of multiple users.
The client analyzes the performance data and generates analysis reports.
The Nastar GSM server and client use different computers or the same computer. When they
use different computers, the two computers are connected through the TCP/IP protocol in
LAN mode or virtual private network (VPN) mode. The server/client mode in the Nastar
GSM comprises the following physical entities:

Collecting data
You can collect the network optimization data by using the data collection tool, or the
data collection tool automatically collects the network optimization data. Huawei
recommends automatic collection. The PLS collects and preprocesses the CHR data and
imports the data to the PNS.
1-10
Storing data
The data collection tool automatically uploads data to the PNS through the FTP. The
Nastar WCDMA Transdata is a data import tool in the PNS. You can start the Transdata
and it automatically imports periodic data to the SQL Server on the PNS.
Analyzing data
The Nastar client analyzes data. The data is displayed on the PNS or Nastar client.

The Nastar GSM comprises the following physical entities in stand-alone mode:
Comparing with the server/client mode, the stand-alone mode integrates the PNS and Nastar
client. The Nastar server, however, is capable of analyzing the data of only one BSC.

Workflow
The Nastar GSM workflow in stand-alone mode is similar to the workflow in server/client
mode. For details about the workflow, refer to Figure 1-3. In stand-alone mode, the Nastar
GSM is not configured with a Nastar client. The Nastar GSM stand-alone server functions as
the PNS plus the Nastar client.
The server/client mode and stand-alone mode use the same Nastar GSM installation packet. You can
choose to install the version you need during installing the Nastar GSM . You can differentiate the server
version from the stand-alone version through the dongle authority.

A project has two connection modes, namely, online mode and local mode. The Nastar
GSM provides different functions for different connection modes. For details, see section
1.1.5 "Stand-Alone Mode."
A project defines the overall configurations, which include the connection mode, server
address, local network analysis, start time, end time, and busy time for traffic statistic
analys is. The project also comprises the project information and configuration used to
support network optimization analysis.
A project saves the network analysis results. Each time you open the project, you can
continue the network optimization analys is based on the previous network optimization
analys is.
The SQL Server stores the information about one or multiple local networks, such as traffic
statistic data and configuration data. The online mode project analyzes the associated local
network and a local network on the server and contains several projects. The projects are
independent from each other.
The client program provides the project management function, such as creating, configuring,
and deleting a project.

Automatic optimization of neighbors helps to sort out the defined neighboring cells,
undefined neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and missing neighboring cells of
each serving cell from the M2000 measurement task files and the Nastar database. Automatic
optimization of neighbors helps to analyze the reasons for redundant and missing neighboring
cells and provides recommended operations. You can optimize a single cell or cells in batch
mode.
The application scenarios of automatic neighbor optimization are as follows:
Table 7-1 lists the information about the database versions of the BSC and Nastar that helps to
implement automatic optimization of neighbors.

Difference between a period task and an once task: A period task is performed periodically while an
once task is performed for only once. Thus, you need to set only the execution time for an once task.
This part takes a period task as an example to describe how to set the related parameters. You can set
the parameters for an once task by referring to this part.
Step 3 In the New Task dialog box shown in Figure 7-3, set the start time of the task in the Time
Setting area and the task period and execution times in the Period Setting area. The periodic
execution times range from 0 to 65535. The value 0 indicates no limit. Click Next.

8.1 Overview
Automatic optimization of frequency is based on the analysis of traffic statistics. The principle
for automatic optimization of frequency is as follows: The system automatically modifies the
BA table of a cell and sends the BA table to an MS in the form of a message. Then, according
to the BA table, the MS performs neighbor measurement and reports the measurement result.
By checking the measurement result of the corresponding frequency in the measurement
result, the system determines whether the cell mapping to the frequency is an undefined
neighbor.
Table 8-1 lists the versions of the BSC and the M2000 that are related to the implementation
of automatic optimization of frequency.

KPI
The Nastar GSM analyzes KPIs and resource utilization ratio to evaluate the whole
network performance. The indicators suggest the performance in one month. The font of
the associated indicators turns red if any exceptions occur.
Exceptions may occur in the following scenarios:
Intra BSC Handover Success Rate Due to Radio Reasons < 95.5%
Outgoing BSC Handover Success Rate Due to Radio Reasons < 92%
Incoming BSC Handover Success Rate Due to Radio Reasons < 90%
BSC TopN
For each KPI (whole-month statistics), the Nastar GSM finds the worst N cells, and sorts
them in an ascending order. The default value for N is 10. You can also assign a new
value to N (1<= N <=20).

Implications of Each CI
If BCCH and TCH are both selected in the Auto Check Channel Interface dialog box, the
system marks B, T, B-T and T-T for the relevant co-channel and adjacent channel.
The meaning of each mark is listed as follows:
B-T: compares the BCCH and TCH to current frequency. Meanwhile, the value in TCH
is the down (upper) adjacent channel of the current frequency.
T-T: compares the TCH of this cell to current frequency. Meanwhile the upper and down
adjacent channels also exist in TCH, and the BCCH is neither adjacent nor equal to the
current frequency.
B: indicates that the BCCH of current cell is the upper (down) adjacent channel and the
TCH is neither adjacent nor equal to current frequency.
T: indicates that only one TCH value from this cell is the up adjacent channel of current
frequency, and BCCH value is neither adjacent to nor equal to current frequency, as
shown in Figure 11-43 and Figure 11-44.

Question
What operations are involved when you plan to cancel the modifications on the
project parameters?
Answer
When the project parameters are imported in the last time, the system backups the
project parameter and saves the backup in the database.
By using the Compare Project Parameters function, the system compares the
current project parameter table with the last imported one and lists all addition,
deletion, and modification records. Then, the Nastar GSM exports them to an .xls file.
CAUTION
By using the Undo Project Parameter Modification function, the system returns to the
project parameter table that is lately imported. You should notice that the Undo Project
Parameter Modification function can disable all addition, deletion, and modification.

Question
How to identify meanings of cell symbols "B", "T", and "B-T" and "T-T' in the
co-channel and adjacent channel check of the cell?
Answer
For details, see section 11.5.2 "Checking Co-Channel and Adjacent Channel. "
If BCCH and TCH both are selected in the Auto Check Channel Interface dialog box,
the system marks B, T, B-T, and T-T for the relevant co-channel and adjacent channel.
The meaning of each mark is listed as follows:
B-T: compares the values of BCCH and TCH with those of the current ARFCN. The
values of TCH indicate the lower (upper) adjacent channel of current ARFCN, while
the values of BCCH indicate upper (down) adjacent channel of current ARFCN.
T-T: compares the values of TCH between this cell and this ARFCN. Meanwhile the
values of upper and down adjacent channels are available. The values of the BCCH
indicate that it is neither adjacent nor equal to current ARFCN.
B: indicates that the BCCH of current cell is the upper (lower) adjacent channel and
the TCH is neither adjacent nor equal to current ARFCN.
T: indicates that only one TCH value from this cell is the upper adjacent channel of
current ARFCN. The BCCH value indicates that it is neither adjacent to nor equal to
current ARFCN.

13.4.18 When Using the Shortcut Key, the Displayed Dialog Box
Is Not the Related Function Dialog Box, Why?
Question
When using the shortcut key, the displayed dialog box is not the related function dialog box,
why?
Answer
In such a situation, the shortcut key may be conflicted with the runtime software of minimized
task. For example, open PowerWord, and the PowerWord is in status of getting word, the
CTRL+F12 shortcut key is use for reciting. At this time, using the CTRL+F12 shortcut key
of the Nastar GSM, the result is incorrect. Only when you close the PowerWord, the shortcut
key is effective.

Step 3 Set the minimum and maximum map zooming range in the Display Area field.
If the zoom value is within the setting range, the system displays the BTS antenna. Otherwise,
the BTS antenna cannot be displayed. You can set the range based on the antenna density on
the map.
Step 4 Set the displayed color of various types of antennas in the Color Setting field.
Step 5 Click OK.

Description
When the displayed area is set from minimum range 0 km to maximum range 50 km, the
antennas are displayed too dense on the map. Therefore, the cells are not very clear to be
distinguished from other cells, as shown in Figure 13-11.

You can adjust the range of the displayed area. For example, set the range from minimum 0
km to maximum 25 km. Then system automatically estimates the area size and the BTS
antenna out of the range (0 km to 25 km) is not displayed, as shown in Figure 13-12.

13.5.1 Obtaining the Data from the Earlier-Version
Question
Sometimes, the on-site engineers need to use the data from the Nastar GSM of the
earlier-version. Since the database structure of the latest version has changed, you cannot
directly use the original data resource in *.mdb files.
Answer
You should first export the important data of the original database to an .xls file. Then
use the data import function provided by the Nastar GSM to import the copy of the file
to the database of the latest version.

Question
Would you like to explain the implications of the handover indicators in the Nastar GSM,
since so many indicators are available?
Answer
The calculation for handover indicators is relatively complex. Table 13-3 lists the
handover success rate at the BSC level.

NOTE
The handover success rate at the BSC level serves as reference for the BSC overall handover. In general,
the analysis on intra BSC handover success rate, outgoing BSC handover success rate, and incoming
BSC handover success rate are enough.
The result of handover success rate summed up at the BSC level in the performance analysis is
inaccurate, because the intra BSC handover success rate sums up the handovers from cells, in addition to
the handovers to cells and intra-cell handover. The handover success rate at the BSC level in the KPI
analysis sums up the intra-cell handovers and the handovers to the cell.
In case of exceptional handover success rate, check whether the detailed indicators are registered
completely.
