Topology Object Properties

The operator can check several properties from network objects using properties button of
right-click menu over the object.
In cells and TRXs there is more information

below this properties table.
39

In cell properties user can find the following
information:
Frequencies and TRX Mapping
Neighbourhood
OMC External View

If the user open the right-click menu over one network object a list of features are available
to manage the selection of objects.
The resulting cells are added to the selection, the tree
can be expanded, but it is not scrolled.
Alcatel-Lucent provides the following predefined and
non-modifiable set of cell classes, known as system cell
classes:
Rural
Suburban
Urban
Dense urban
Indoor
System cell classes cannot be viewed, modified, or
deleted using the Network Object Class Editor.
In order to fit with their own optimization methods, the
optimizer may define additional customer cell classes.
40

Post-Its
In NPO it is possible to add, edit and removed post-its associated to one network object.
Post-Its are visible to all users and are clearly visible in topology or function trees.
A yellow icon ( ) being attached to them, then a tooltip comes up with the post-it.
Similar to Note feature in RNO.


Manage Tuning Inhibition of Network Objects
By default, all network objects are admitted for tuning, but the tuning operation can be
forbidden on some network objects and a reason can be described.
If the operator inhibit network objects, then they are no longer accepted for tuning and their
labels appear in italic format.
A notification is sent to all the clients about the new status of the concerned network objects.
Similar to Inhibit Cell tuning in RNO.

Counters and Indicators
44

Introduction
Counters are retrieved from the BSS and MFS and used as building blocks in the formation of
indicators.
The indicator is computed from counters, other indicators or any other available network
parameter values such as radio parameters.
An indicator can be stored. For stored indicators, the storage duration can be configured.
In order to perform some actions in NPO it is necessary to install a specific license.

MUSE_QOS_<TECHNO>_LICENSE - To declare QoS data sources for a given technology
MUSE_QOS_INDICATOR_CREATION_LICENSE - To create customer indicators
MUSE_QOS_HISTORY_LICENSE To save historical QoS data more than one week.

Storage
Counters values are not stored into NPO database.
Basic indicators are always stored, but only a limited number of basic indicators is supported.
Calculated indicators are not stored in the database unless they have an associated stored
temporal aggregation.
Every stored indicator has an indicator group and the table name will be related to this group.
In the data warehouse, each indicator group corresponds to a different table.
45

A counter is defined by:
Reference Unique counter reference (ASCII)

Long Name Unique long counter name (mnemonic)
StructureType 4 types are supported - scalar, axis, vector or matrix
Description Counter description
GSM
Source Network Object Type of object supporting the counter
only
Collecting Network Object - Type of object collecting the counter
PMType PM Group files per Type
LoadMapFormula Simple formula to apply before loading the counter (ex: *100,
means counter*100)
Interpolation Method used to compute the missing values
Consolidation Method used to compute hourly value - Normalization.
Unit Counter Unit
Precision Number of significant digit displayed to the operator
There are more counter attributes and they are described in NPO User Guide.

A Telecom Indicator has two types.
Basic Indicator (stored and based on a counter formula)
Interpolation method
Consolidation

Precision The number of significant digits.
Sampling indicator Sampling indicator long name
Threshold values Threshold values for each QoS Requirement
Sampling values - Sampling values for each QoS Requirement
Reliability Indicator Reliability indicator long name
Access Right {Private, Public}
isVisible {True, False} Default value: True. If the indicator doesnt have a family, this
boolean is forced to False whatever the dictionary value.

When imported a new temporal aggregation with the same long name as the global indicator
there will be a migration problem. In this case, it is mandatory to specify a different long name
for TA indicator.

Consolidation
Indicator consolidation is used to normalize and optionally to aggregate QoS data inside the
data warehouse.
Aggregation and normalization apply only on indicators.
It is possible to calculate multiple temporal aggregation from the same indicator at a raw
level.
The scheduler launches the consolidation scripts every night. If the previous day
consolidation is not finished, the system waits for the completion of the ongoing loading of
files before launching the consolidation for the current day. If any files are missing, the
consolidation starts anyway.
The administrator can manually launch a manual consolidation if he finds out that there is
recovered data that has not been consolidated yet.
52

Consolidation Steps
It performs the following tasks once a day at 01:00 (Local Time - Oracle Scheduler)
Data transfer from RDB to HDB
Transfer daily indicator from RDB to daily tables
Normalize data from HDB to normalized tables
Daily spatial aggregation
Spatial aggregation
Temporal aggregation
Purge of old partitions

Consolidation Normalization and Aggregation
The consolidation scripts include:
Data normalization - normalized indicator tables are computed using the default
normalization methods
Data aggregation - aggregated tables are computed using normalized indicators and
aggregation methods.
The obtained indicator data is aggregated spatially and then temporally.

Daily aggregation is performed every day.
Weekly and Monthly aggregations are only performed on the first day of the week or of the
month.

Normalization
In the telecom context the measurements can be reported with different periods, different
synchronizations.
The measurements can be lost for different reasons, normal network management or incident
in the process.

If we use directly those measurements it is not possible to compare the different objects and
the different measurements.
To allow the comparison between different objects and different periods, it is used the
normalization.
54

Normalization
The normalization aims are:
Order the measurements
Interpolate missing data
The normalization process can be divided in different steps:

1. Retrieve the needed data
2. Order the data
3. Synchronize data to display period
4. Interpolate missing and NULL data
5. Consolidate to the requested period size

Normalization
Retrieve and order data
The measurements can arrive in wrong order or with some delay.
The aim of this step is to provide time-sorted data to the next step.

This period alignment (time shift), will set the same measurement period for all
measurement data involved in the aggregation or formula calculation (for example 4H, 1H,
15mn).

Normalization
The aim of this (optional) step is to provide values for all the missing time intervals.
In RNO there are only 2 interpolation methods, linear and padding by zero. In NPO there are 4
new methods.
56

Normalization
In NPO, six customizable interpolation methods are supported:
None - only the existing values are used (no interpolation)
Only OK value - when a display period is not fully available, a NULL value is provided for that
displayed period NEW
Extend - only the existing values are used and they are extended to the wanted displayed
period NEW
Zero - all the missing periods are set to the zero value

Normalization
Interpolation methods (continuation):
Linear - the missing values are replaced by a linear interpolation between the previous
known value and the next known value. The linear interpolation can be specific if the values
before or after are not known.
Padding - all the missing periods are set to a padding value. This is zero by default, but can
be configurable through the Padding parameter. NEW

This consolidation will return a consolidated value for the whole display period.
7 methods of consolidation are supported by NPO.
58

Consolidation methods
Sum - This method sums all available data to get the consolidated value.
Average - This method computes the temporal average of all available data to get the
consolidated value. It varies between intensive and cumulative cases (value is already
depending on the collection interval).
Maximum - This method gets the maximum of all available data to get the consolidated value.
Minimum - This method gets the minimum of all available data to get the consolidated value.
The consolidation result for these 4 methods will be NULL if a NULL value is provided.

Consolidation methods (continuation)
Count - This method counts all contributing data to get the consolidated value. For
instance, if PM data are collected every 15 minutes, a consolidated hour should be

composed of 4 measurements, so 4 will be the consolidation result even if there is
missing PM data.
Count Present This method sum the duration of each available data and compute
the ratio with the display period to get the consolidated value. For instance, if PM
data are collected every 15 minutes and only one quarter was collected, for a
display period of one hour, 0.25 will be returned.
Count Missing - This method returns the missing data ratio as consolidated value. It
is the opposite of Count Present method.

Aggregation
Indicators can be aggregated in two modes:
It aggregates data of one network element into one value that defines the parent in the
period hierarchy. Period hierarchy = {Hour, Day, Week, Month}
Spatial Aggregation
It aggregated data of several network elements into one value that defines the parent in the
network hierarchy. Example of network hierarchy = {TRX, Cell, BSC, Network}
Counters and Parameters can be aggregated as well but is not so common as on indicators.
60

Two types of temporal aggregation can be defined:
Stored Aggregation
Calculated Aggregation To avoid too much stored aggregations when it is possible
to calculate it using other indicators
A Daily value is computed from hourly values based on the following temporal aggregation
methods: SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG, BH.
A Weekly value is computed from daily values based on the following temporal aggregation
methods: SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG, BH, nDAV
A Monthly value is computed from daily values based on the following temporal aggregation
methods: SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG, BH, nDAV

Temporal Aggregation Methods
The next functions are used to compute spatial or temporal aggregated values. In the
temporal case, they are used to compute Daily, Weekly and Monthly aggregated data, below
daily periodicity, the normalization process is used instead.
SUM - This method sums the non-NULL present measurements.
AVG - This method computes the average value of non-NULL present measurements.
MAX - This method returns the maximum value of non-NULL present measurements.
MIN - This method returns the minimum value of non-NULL present measurements.
COUNT - This method counts the number of non-NULL present measurements.
Busy Hour, 3DAV and 5DAV are presented in the next slides.
61

Busy Hour Aggregations
All Busy Hour aggregations are working on plain hours (xx:00:00 to xx:59:59), sliding hours are
not supported.
The Busy Hour principle consists in retrieving the hourly value of an indicator when the peak
of traffic is measured during the day. The traffic peak is identified thanks to a traffic
indicator called reference indicator.
Input:

Busy Hour algorithm:
1. Identify the hour of the day that corresponds the maximum hourly value for the reference
indicator (1 value per day the first value in case the same value is present several times).
2. Retrieve indicator values for the identified hour.
3. Compute the calculated indicator value (if necessary).
In RNO/NPO, the reference indicator for GSM is:
RTCH_occy_total (GTCTRT)
And for GPRS is:
GPRS_useful_throughput_radio_avg (GTRPDXA)
Note: Due to the fact that NPO supports several technologies, all the GSM refnames start by
G on NPO (starting since B10). So, from RNO to NPO, the operator should add a G in the
beginning of the indicators refname.

Busy Hour Position
This function returns the hourly (GMT) position of the busy hour (0 to 23).
Input:

Daily Average Value (DAV)
The objective of Daily Average Value computation is to get an average busy hour value for a
given period (several days).
Algorithm:
1. Select the n hours that correspond to the maximum values for the hourly reference
indicator (one maximum per day)
2. Retrieve the hourly indicators values at the n hours,
3. Average the n values for each indicator
4. Compute the calculated indicator from the average values (if necessary).
nDAV: n is the number of data (generally 3 or 5)

Spatial Aggregation
It consists in data coming from several network elements into one value for a related upper
object in the topology model using one of the following spatial aggregation methods:
SUM
MIN
MAX
AVG
COUNT
Usually the related upper object is the parent one, but sometimes topology levels can bypass
or a relation can be used to reach another object.
The spatial aggregation is always done on normalized indicators tables, except for daily
indicators.

Consolidation Traces
During the consolidation execution, a file is written in real time with useful information
about the process, this file is called a trace.
In NPO Server, traces regarding consolidation can be found in:
/alcatel/muse/data/trace/CONSO_LOG_0.traces (Standard consolidation)
/alcatel/muse/data/trace/admintrace_<hostname>_0.traces (Manual consolidation)
/alcatel/muse/data/trace/scripttrace_<hostname>_0.traces (Manual consolidation)
Trace Keywords:
started & ended: each step of the consolidation is described by a trace like:
************RBD to HDB transfer started************
***************Normalization started***************
************Spatial Aggregation started************
************Spatial Aggregation started************
************Daily Aggregation started************
************Weekly Aggregation started************
************Monthly Aggregation started************
All Errors or Exception found in the traces have to be analyzed.

65

PM Purge Data
As soon as the consolidation is completed, the data whose storage duration has expired is
purged / removed from NPO data warehouse.
This is done for performance and storage space reasons, and depends on the configured
storage durations. The minimum purge granularity is the day.
The following table provides an illustration of the default size of each partition and their
storage duration:
Table Type

From 3 to 14 Months
Weekly

Reliability
The value of the reliability indicator informs the operator about loss of QoS data.
The reliability indicators detect:
Lost objects - If any object is lost, the number of the observed objects is lower than the
number of the expected objects.
Lost periods - If any period is lost, the observed time is lower than the expected time.
Indicators are always displayed, even if some data is missing and the propose of reliability is
to inform if the displayed value is reliable or not.
An indicator value is displayed in italic when the reliability indicator threshold associated is
not green.
The reliability display has priority over sampling or thresholds display.
Note: The reliability indicator is not developed for the adjacency object.
66

Threshold and Sampling
When creating an indicator, you can associate thresholds and sampling to it.
Thresholds are used for highlighting QoS values. This is done using colors in a
view or report, in order to quickly see which values are critical, major, etc.

Indicators Restrictions After B9 NPA Data Import into NPO
The following restrictions are applicable for indicators migrated from NPA to NPO:
1. Reliability Indicators
In both NPA and NPO the reliability indicators follow the group structure of the stored
indicators groups.
When groups change (split/join), the old reliability indicators are no longer relevant.
The group structure is very different in NPO compared to NPA, this is why the reliability
indicators are ignored during data import.
For historical data, the reliability indicators do not hold any values in NPO. Therefore
operator should not check the reliability when displaying the historical data - all this data
appears as unreliable.
67

Indicators Restrictions After B9 NPA Data Import into NPO
2. B8 specific indicators
Every new release should have values from the old release.
Indicators from older releases than the previous one will be rejected.
NPO supports B9/B10 GSM releases, so B8 indicators are not migrated into NPO.
3. NPA B9 MR1 specific indicators
NPO dictionaries are aligned with B9 MR4.
Migration from NPA B9 MR1 is possible but with some restrictions.
Indicators removed in B9 MR4 are not imported into NPO.
4. Provisioned or unused indicators
Provisioned stored indicators present in the NPA database are not migrated to NPO.

Tuning
To make an advanced usage of tuning, customer can aplly the following tasks:
Select the appropriate network objects and inhibit all tuning operations for them. These
objects can no longer be tuned.
Select the appropriate network objects and define them as being Reference Objects. These
objects can now be used as templates when tuning other network objects.
Tuning
The available operations over the tuning sessions:
Scheduled or applied but not yet completed / failed /partially failed, then it can only be
copied.
Not owned by the operator (and the operator is not Administrator), then it can only be copied
or opened in read only mode.
Is owned by the operator (or the operator is the Administrator) and is created, or completed /
failed / partially failed, then it can be opened, copied, deleted.
It is always possible to create a new tuning session.
If a working zone is deleted, then there will be an automatic re-parenting of the tuning
sessions.

Cartography
Cartography Toolbar
Main features of Cartography are accessible from this toolbar
Cartography Viewport
Main window of the cartography module
Shows the visible layers at their right position in the current world coordinates system.
Background maps, CCA polygons, network objects, and thematic objects are displayed.
This area can be zoomed and panned.
189
Cartography
Minimap
Defines the overview of the actual viewport.
At any point in time the entire map is visible in the minimap with a small rectangle.
Layer Manager
Contains a list of layers and sub-layers that are arranged in the hierarchical tree structure.
A layer is a graphical component containing the description of the graphical content and not the
graphical content itself.
The layers can be moved up and down in the hierarchy, depending on the type of the layers.
Cartography
Layer Manager (continuation)
The sub-layer within the main layer can be moved up and down, except for the relation type and
thematic layers.
The root nodes and the leaf nodes, as well as their corresponding icons are defined in the
configuration file.
Information Bar
The information bar shows the latitude and longitude of the cursor position in the map.
It also contains a scale displaying the information regarding the distance of the line when the
user is in compute distance mode.
Scale changes dynamically when the viewport is zoomed or unzoomed.

Cartography
Display Network Objects in Viewport
Network objects can be executed to Cartography and then a site will be the new name for
these objects.
A Site is a logical object, where one or more network objects are located.
All the objects that have the same geographical position (latitude/ longitude) are usually
grouped together as a site, and is represented as a filled circle.
Cartography
Cells
To differentiate cells of different standards, a small hexagon containing the technology letter

Cartography
Density Level
The viewport can contain thousands of objects, making the rendering of all objects along with all their
properties practically impossible. This is why the density level notion is introduced.
The density level is the level of details to which the network objects are displayed in the viewport.

Graphic Modes
Depending on the Density Level of the viewport, two modes of graphic display are automatically
selected for the main object type:
Collapsed
Full-expanded
Collapsed Mode
Similar type or located in the same site are grouped together (co-localized cells or
collapsed cells).
The maximum number of cells co-localization for a given azimuth (sector) is:
2G: two co-localized cells
3G: four co-localized cells
Cartography
Collapsed Mode
The meaning of the graphical object presented below is:
The double hexagon indicates that there are multiple cells situated at the same location (colocalized)
U-3 means that there are three UMTS cells grouped together
G-2 means that there are two GSM cells grouped together
W-1 means that there is one WiMAX cell in the collapsed cell.
193
Cartography
Collapsed Mode
Real example
Cartography
Full-expanded Mode
The full expanded co-localized cells are rendered on the border of a circle.
The circle represents sectors by technology and cell type with a larger space between colocalized objects.
This allows rendering of adjacencies between co-localized objects.
The sub-icon and background pattern drawing rule is defined in the configuration file.

Frequency Reuse
This feature is used to make a graphical analysis regarding the re-use of one of the frequencies
of the selected cell by comparing the other cells inside a geographical area.
The geographical area is a circle centred on the selected cell. The radius of this circle is
defined by the min and max values of the U_TIMEADVANCE parameter of the cell multiplied by
a scaling factor (from 0.5 to 2.0).
The frequency reuse analysis is performed on all frequencies of the selected cell except in the
case where RH or NH/RH is used (i.e. only BCCH frequency is checked).
Cartography
Frequency Reuse
For every non RH hopping frequency of the studied cell, the same check is performed on all
cells Ncell that satisfy the geographical criterion, i.e. cells inside the circle defined above:
If Ncell is using RH or NH/RH, only BCCH of Ncell is checked
If Ncell is using NH or BBH, all frequencies of Ncell are checked.
According to the following legend, Ncell is displayed with the highest colour
code (red > orange > yellow > green):
Red - Ncell BCCH is a co-channel frequency with at least one frequency of studied cell
Orange - Ncell TCH is a co-channel frequency with at least one frequency of studied cell
Yellow = Ncell BCCH is an adjacent channel frequency with at least one frequency of studied
cell
Green = Ncell TCH is an adjacent channel frequency with at least one frequency of studied
cell.

Introduction
Introduction
Network stability assessment
The BSS stability assessment helps to get an idea of the network health and so to evaluate
the network quality.
Network quality can be assessed through:
y Quality Of Service, measured from the user point of view thanks to A9156 RNO tool.
y System Quality which:
measures the BSS system capability to run without problems.
Is represented by telecom resources availability and by BSS equipment stability.
Unavailability and instability are the two main indicators representative of the system
quality
y Represent the lack of functioning of the system. or, more frequently, a non-efficient follow-up of
system operation methods and processes.
Unavailability and instability impacts

y For the end users:
Incapability to call
Loss of on-going calls
Loss of network capacity
y For the operators:

Loss of revenue
Loss of supervision
247
Introduction
These problems have to be processed in real time to be corrected immediately.
Post processing of these problems allows the operator to remain aware of them and to
investigate more deeply some periodic or important faults detecting alarm that appears
frequently.
This is the best way to highlight the weak points of the network and to focus the operators
efforts on real problems.
Introduction
The BSS equipment stability follow-up can lead to:
Better correlation between QoS indicators values and the events (actions/alarms) handled
on the network.
Evaluation of the BSS equipment efficiency.
Better comprehension between events, alarms, operator commands and network availability
indicators.
Gaining a real evaluation of transmission node efficiency and reliability.
Analysis and reporting of detected incidents, and elaboration, with the customer, of plans
improvement.
computing telecom availability for a part of, or the whole network.
248
Introduction
Unavailability Definitions
A telecom resource is unavailable when it is completely unable to perform its task: for instance a mobile
subscriber can not make a call to another subscriber.
Such a resource is characterized by the administrative state, which is locked or by the operational
state which is disabled. These states of the resource are retrieved from the state change files, which
are part of the OMC-R data.
Laser distinguishes 2 types of unavailability:
If the operator decides to set its resource telecom into an unavailable state (whatever the
context, Laser cannot cope with the contextual aspect of each operators action), he will do the
operation Lock via the OMC-R then the resource will get the Administrative state to Locked
for a period, during this period the unavailability status of this resource is considered as
planned.
In this case the origin of the un/availability is an operator command.
If the resource goes to an unavailable state during a period independently the initiative of the
operator, it is considered as an unplanned unavailable status for this period.
Remarks:
The Administrative State for TRX is not defined. Only the Operational State is used

Laser Concepts
Laser scope
LASER stands for Lucid network Availability, Stability and Events Reporting.
Laser main scope is monitoring of the system stability and availability, gathered under the
generic terminology of system quality. System is BSS part of a GSM network managed by
one or several OMC-R in charge of supervision of voice and data telecom traffic (GSM and
GPRS) on an operational region.

Input of main processing:
From each OMC-R:
9BSS and MFS alarms included BSS events, in X733 format.
OMC operator commands.
9Resource current state and state changes (TRX, cell, BSC, GPRS cell, MFS, N7).
9BSS and MFS topology (configuration).
Stored in LASER database, customizable by user and applied for all OMC-R:
9List of alarms and OMC operator commands enabled to produce telecom unavailability.
9Rules to detect events.
9Definition of busy/non busy hours.
Output of main processing:
9BSS/MFS topology (configuration).
9Historic of alarms, OMC operator commands, events, basic unavailability.
9Resource unavailability indicators.
9Export to NPA, no more in NPO as all are linked to one database

Main processing:
After uploading of data files from each OMC-R, LASER parses these data and stores remaining
ones. It generates new events from imported alarms according to detection rules and detects
basic TRX / cell / BSC / GPRS cell / MFS / N7 unavailability from resource state changes.
Generated events and basic unavailability are stored in database.
From basic unavailability, LASER computes unavailability indicators for all network, each OMC-R,
each BSS, each BTS and each cell.

IOM Disconnection Alarm Study

T-Mobile/ OMC Lepzig 1
Observation Area & Period

This assessment is covering OMC Leipzig 1 located in Motorola swap area which is
having the following resources:
y 1334 TGT09
y 6 TGT18
y 163 TAGHE
y 3 TRAGE
The observation period is covering the period from 1st August to 21 21st August (3
weeks).
Note:
y The number of resources mentioned above are the ones found on 21st August. It should be
noted that the number of TRXs is changing day by day depending on the swap days.
y For best overview of the IOM alarms is to have a stable OMC without changes and perform
the analysis on it.
275
IOM Disconnection Alarm Evolution

Number of IOM Disconnect alarms on TWIN TRX during the observation period is 262.
The evolution during the observation period is as below:
Number of IOM disconnect alarm per TWIN during 21 days = 262/ (1334+6) = 0.2
Number of IOM disconnect alarms per TWIN per day = 262/ (1334+6)/21 = 0.0093
Note again that this number can be less than the real as the number of TWIN TRXs is
increasing day by day; so this means that on 1st August we dont have this total number of
TRXs.

same for SDCCH.
277
Conclusion
The main observed impact for the IOM disconnection alarm is the increase of Call
Drop due to BSS internal.
The number of call drops depend on the traffic handled by the cell and the time
of occurrence of the alarm whether its in busy or non busy hour.
No main degradation is observed on the incoming HO failures.

TRX Availability
A direct correlation can be
observed between the TRX
availability, RTCH available
average, traffic increase and
call drop due to BSS.

Week
After
TRX availability improved just

after introduction of MX.
This improvement can be
linked to the reset of all HW
after the BSC swap.
