Selected KPIs from yesterday and last week are copied automatically to Optimizer database over night Fixed set of GSM, GPRS and WCMDA RAN KPIs Common KPI formula in all Reports and Optimizer keeps the consistency
Interference measurement data as an exception CF and DAC measurements are activated in BSC only when needed Results are retrieved from PM database to Optimizer by request via a separate interface (IM creation) Possible to provide the data also from an external tool (IM import) 12 NOKIA / Preliminary tasks in Optimizer / 6-137228 / version 2.0 en / 05.05.2004 / Bettina Baacke Why Mobile Measurement Based Optimisation Features? In most of the planning tools the radio environment (interference matrix etc) is estimated with predictions Predictions can be made quite accurate if all models are very accurate and tuned Propagation model, map data, antenna model Optimizer uses predictions mainly for visualisation and analysis. The decisions are made based on measurements However the best accuracy and the best coverage of the measurements can be done with Mobile Measurements Coverage: the interference data is reported where the mobiles really are Standard MMRs (Mobile Measurement Reports) are used

The reason for creating new BCCH Allocation lists is to retrieve also measurement data from surrounding cells which are not defined as adjacency cells. These new defined BA lists are used only during the Measuring period and should be removed after the measurements are completed. A new BA list can be created using MML or CM Editor (plan based).
*)Note: This is only important if the total amount of used BCCHs in the NW to be optimized exceeds 32. If less than 32 BCCHs are used then there is no need for this process step
