Introduction
1 Introduction
This document contains a list of all the required information and data to be collected on
Ericsson UMTS infrastructures in preparation for the installation of the Mentor optimization tool.
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.

Detailed Description of Required Information and Data
Note: TEOCO recommends using RES recordings for a limited time only, and mainly for creating
the UeTxPower maps.

First check if the configuration files are already available in the following directory:
/var/opt/ericsson/nms_umts_wran_bcg/files/export
You can use the UNIX scripts in the OSS that periodically generates the XML configuration file.
The shells script is called start_rah_export.sh, and is located in the following directory:
opt/ericsson/nms_umts_wran_bcg/bin/
Further information can be found in the ALEX system through:
“Bulk Configuration System Administrator Guide 1/1543-APR 901 550/2 Uen E “
“Bulk Configuration General and Transport User Guide”
“Bulk Configuration System Administrator Guide”

3.1.1.3 Working with Ericsson XML files and checking their validity
Ericsson OSS will not export the NodeB information when only exporting a single RNC.
TEOCO recommends verifying the data using an external XML reader, such as “XML Marker”.
(http://symbolclick.com/download.htm)
When loading a single RNC xml dump without the NodeB information, you will see a picture
similar to the one listed below. Under the main “SubNetwork” folder, there is an individual
“SubNetwork” for each RNC.
6
Detailed Description of Required Information and Data
An XML dump that contains NodeB data will include additional information under the RNC
“SubNetwork” such as “ExternalGsmCell”, etc.
Sometimes, it is not possible to open a large XML file with an XML editor (usually over 750MB).
In this case, use TEOCO’s scripts to divide the file into the different RNCs, or manually cut-out
RNCs between the two XML directives:
<xn:SubNetwork id="RNC01">
And
</xn:SubNetwork>

Retrieve the required BSS network configuration file from the Ericsson OSS, using the Cellular
Network Administrator (CNA), by running the following commands:
8
Detailed Description of Required Information and Data
All soft parameters may be defined in this file, but will be overridden by the Network Topology
files. We recommend 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.
The antenna file (in tab-delimited text format) includes the physical configuration of each
sector, including:
o Location data (i.e., coordinates, height, and so forth)
o Antenna characteristics (i.e., height, azimuth, and so forth)
o Physical constraints
o 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. We recommend that all sectors
within two tiers of the selected sectors be included.
The Antenna file fields are described in Table 1:
Field Value Range Description Default
RNC Name String Unique in the network RNC display name

Note: If UTM coordinates are used, the relevant column headers should be different:
NodeB X, NodeB Y, Antenna X, and Antenna Y.

• UeFraction=1,000
• GPEHfileSize=60,000
• Mentor can operate with reduced values for these parameters. To define a different set of
values, please consult TEOCO support.

10. Recording activation by using "Resume profile" option or Scheduler information - see Using
scheduler. Finish.
To view and change the profiles go to the General performance profile tab.
Changing the GPEH recording profile from “Headers data only” to “All data”:
1. [Read / Edit] GPEH data level (Edit - only in admin user type).
2. Change GPEH data level from Headers data only to All data (Admin users only).
3. Close the window.

4.3 Templates
The template files are located in:
var/opt/ericsson/nms_umts_pms_reg/templates
The Template files include the GPEH events to record, counters to record, and network areas for
both.
If the template files are used, they must be activated in the “Data collection subscription profiles”
in the OSS.

3. For the RNC measurements, under Service1, define the required RABs for recording.
We recommend including both voice and data RABs.

5. Select Sample & Fraction Settings. Make sure that UE Fraction is set to Full and that
the periodic samples for each service are maximum 16 seconds. (If required, you can
choose a higher sampling rate, for example, 12 or 8.)

1. Start Event Based Applications (EBA) for GSM from the OSS–RC Workspace Menu:
2. Define recording cell sets using the Set Handler which is available from the RPMO main
window.

Raw Event Data Export (REDE) makes it possible to store any events and
monitors that can be provided by the R-PMO server software in a file. The format
of the file can be tab delimited or BIN. (In Mentor 9.1 the only supported format
is tab delimited). Tab delimited format is limited by OSS-SC to a maximum 100
sectors even though more than one recording could be scheduled simultaneously.
