Required Data Inputs for Huawei Infrastructure –
Ultima Mentor v7.1.1

1 Introduction
The following document contains a list of all the required information and data to be collected
on Huawei UMTS infrastructures in preparation for the installation of the Mentor optimization
tool.
The information and data required includes the following:
 Network configuration (described in detail in section ‎3)
o Schema Format
o Network Topology file (MML)
o Network Preferences
 Huawei logs and stats (described in detail in section ‎4)
o CHR logs
o PMs
When preparing to set up Mentor in a network, it is usually recommended to start by creating
the network configuration, followed by a sample data collection.
Section ‎2 outlines a “setup checklist”, which should be used as a first step to facilitate
efficient installation and configuration.
The following sections of this document provide a more in-depth description of the required
data sources, and the manner in which they can be obtained.

1.1 Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations


The following definitions, acronyms, and abbreviations are used throughout this document:
 HO – handoff
 HHO – hard handoff
 NL – neighbor list
 RNC - Radio Network Controller
 RAB – Radio Access Bearer

3 Detailed Description of Required Information and


Data

3.1 Network Data


The sources for network configuration data are:
 Schema Format files, including complete information required for physical sites and soft
parameter configuration (depending on availability) in text format.
 A predefined set of Network Topology files exported from the Huawei switch dump.

3.1.1 Huawei Switch Dump – Inner Configuration MML


The MML file is configuration file that contains all the NodeB parameters per RNC.

3.1.1.1 Retrieval Procedure


The MML script is generate by the LMT tool every day. The default path for the MML file is:
BAM/Version/FTP

Schema Confidential & Proprietary May 2011 Page 5 of 18


Required Data Inputs for Huawei Infrastructure –
Ultima Mentor v7.1.1

1. In the LMT tool, execute the command ADD SUBTSK in the Command Input
field.
2. Enter the information in the relevant fields. Note that fields in red are
mandatory, and must be filled in.
a. In the Command String field, enter EXP INNERCFGMML to execute
the MML script.
b. Choose the start date
c. Choose the time mode - DAILY_T (day_based_scheduling)
d. Choose the execute time – the time when the MML script is generated.
3. You can also run a command through a batch file:
ADD SUBTSK: ID=1, TSKN="INNERMML", SUBID=1, ENF=ENABLED, SCMD="EXP
INNERCFGMML", FREQ=DAILY_T, SD=2009&02&19, RFT=1;

3.1.1.1.2 Using the LMT Tool to Generate One-Time MML Scripts

Figure 2: Executing one-time INNER MML scripts

1. In the LMT tool, execute the command EXP INNERCFGMML in the Command
Input field.
2. Enter the path in which to store the MML file in the Export file path field. If you
do not enter a value, the default value is used: BAM/Version/FTP
3. Enter a name for the exported file in the Export file name field. The following
name should be used: INNERCFGMML-20090212120000.txt

3.1.2 Antenna and Sectors Physical Location, Profiles, and Parameters in Delimited Format

The physical parameters of the network, such as the sector and antenna location, and the
antenna profiles, might not be available through the configuration dump.
Most of the required physical configuration of the network can be derived from network
planning tools or from customer-self-maintained databases with the most updated network
configuration.
Mentor defines a set of textual files that should be available. These files are:
 Antenna file - includes the physical configuration of each sector. See section ‎3.1.2.1 below
for the file format.
 Antenna profiles – antenna-pattern data files
 Mentor also requires an updated Terrain file
In contrast to planning tools or other configuration sources, Mentor requires only active sector-
carriers. Sectors that are inactive during an analyzed period should be marked as “inactive” in
the antenna files.
All soft parameters may be defined in this file, but will be overridden by the Network Topology
files. It is recommended that the latest Network Topology files be used to update the Schema
Format file and to identify any inconsistencies, such as missing or unnecessary sectors.

3.1.2.1 Antenna File


The antenna file (in tab-delimited text format) includes the physical configuration of each
sector, including:
 Location data (i.e., coordinates, height, and so forth)
 Antenna characteristics (i.e., height, azimuth, and so forth)
 Physical constraints
 Network topology
The antenna file must include all sectors selected for optimization and all sectors in the
guard-zone area – where optimization is not performed. It is recommended that all
sectors within two tiers of the selected sectors be included.

3.1.2.2 Terrain File


The terrain map should be in GeoTif data format. It is recommended that the map resolution is
at least 50m. Mentor can support additional terrain file formats, such as TAB, GRD, etc.

3.1.2.3 Antenna Profiles


Antenna-pattern data files are in Planet format.

4 Huawei Logs and Stats

4.1 Logs (CHR) Files


From Mentor v7.0, the IOS traces are no longer used, as the log data is collected from CHRs.

4.1.1 CHR/UPCHR File Paths

4.1.1.1 Huawei R10

From Huawei R10, the CHRs are generated automatically and stored under the BAM in the
following path:
- /BAM/VersionA/LoadData/FamLofFmt

4.1.1.2 Huawei R12

From Huawei R12, collect UPCHR or PCHR log files instead of CHRs; they are generated
automatically and stored under the BAM in the following path:
- /BAM/VersionA/LoadData/FamLofFmt
Or
- /bam/common/fam/famlogfmt/

4.1.2 CHRs in the Inner Configuration MML File


Before running a model, check that the CHRs field is enabled in the INNER MML file.
1. Check table “SET CHRRNCCTRL:”
2. Check if all fields are enabled (set to 1), for example:
a. STATETYPE=ABNORMAL_ONLY-1&NORMAL_ONLY-1
meaning that the CHRs log abnormal and normal calls

4.1.2.1 Using the LMT to Enable the CHRs Field


If one of the fields is not enabled in the CHRs, use the following command to enable it:
1. In the LMT tool, execute the command SET CHRRNCCTRL in the Command Input
field.
2. In the Type option drop down lists, click the “SELECT ALL” check box.
3. In Huawei R10 and above, you can run the command through a batch file only:
SET CHRRNCCTRL:STATETYPE=ABNORMAL_ONLY-1&NORMAL_ONLY-1, DOMAINTYPE=CS_ONLY-
1&PS_ONLY-1, FLOWTYPE=CONN_SETUP-1&RAB-1&DCCC-1&SHO-1&HHO-1&SYS_HO_OUT-
