SPECIFICATION FOR METRICA GRAPHS AND REPORTS

RADIO PLANNING

Page 1 of 15

Introduction.

This document specifies Metrica reports and graphs required by the Radio Planning team, classified in four main categories: traffic, accessibility, retainability and features. A few specific functionalities are needed; they are presented at the end of the document. General information: The reports relate to a group of cells and a specific date. The graphs relate to one, two or three cells, and to a determined date/time range. The graphs are of type Line if not stated otherwise. A so-called graph in this document can be shown as several graphs in Metrica, some of which can have two value axes. This is specified in the columns Graph # and Axis #. Decimal numbers must be shown with 2 decimals. Notice all mentioned dropping and failure rates are to be understood as the ones related to the Radio Network only. Remark: The period during which data have to remain available in Metrica will be discussed later.

Traffic.

Some new indicators will be used several times in the following reports and graphs and are presented below: TCH_capacity = ErlangB(Act_def_TCHs, 0.02) where Act_def_TCHs = Int[(TAVAACC / TAVASCAN + 0.5) / 8] * 8 + TNUCHCNT Mod 8 SDCCH_capacity = ErlangB(CNUCHCNT, 0.01) if CNUCHCNT <= 4 ErlangB(CNUCHCNT, 0.005) if CNUCHCNT > 4 TCH_key_traffic_dim is used for dimensioning purposes and is defined as the average of the highest 3 hourly traffic values related to a specific week. There is a new value each week. Important note: the highest 3 traffic values are directly selected from the 168 hourly values available, i.e. they can relate to the same day! TCH_key_traffic_mon is used for monitoring purposes and is as the average of the highest 3 hourly traffic values related to the previous 7 days. There will be a new value each day. Important note: the highest 3 traffic values are directly selected from the 168 hourly values available, i.e. they can relate to the same day!

2.1 TCH traffic weekly graph. This graph relates to selected cells and date range. One value per week is shown. From the date range selected, dates up to present (for which data is available) will be shown as in the first table below. The graph #1 will also show data for the future, based on the traffic and capacity forecast for the considered cell(s), as shown in the second table below. For dates <= current:

4.8 Cell neighbouring relationship daily report. This report relates to a specific serving cell and date.
Name Target cell ID Total HO attempts (#) HO attempts (%) Formula HOVERCNT(target cell) 100 * HOVERCNT(target cell) / HOVERCNT(total) Description Target cell ID Total number of HO attempts from Serving cell to considered Target cell over the whole day Percentage of HO attempts from Serving cell to Target cell of all HO attempts from Serving Cell over the whole day Data type String Long Single

4.9 Cell zero handover report. This report identifies useless cell neighbouring relationships. All relationships for which no handover from A to B occurred during the past two weeks are shown, even if handovers did take place from B to A. The cell relationships shown in this report must be checked before they are considered as useless and action is taken. The report is sorted on alphabetical order and will be run on a weekly basis. It can also be processed for an area (based on the first two digits of the cell ID, i.e. AN, BW, BX etc.). The defined neighbouring relationships will be extracted on a weekly basis from a text file, each row containing two fields: Serving Cell and Target Cell. This process will be launched manually.

5.1 Summary report. This report relates to a group of cells and a selected date. It shows several key indicators in order to help identify cells where action has to be taken. Thresholds can be set on any field except TCH BH traffic (E). Also, the report can be sorted on any of those fields in this descending order, as well as on alphabetical order. It can be processed for an area (based on the first two digits of the cell ID, i.e. AN, BW, BX etc.).

6.2 Assignment to Another Cell weekly report. This report relates to a group of serving cells and a selected week. For each serving cell, it shows one line per target cell. The serving-target relationships dont need to be extracted from the neighbouring relationships file; the report only shows pairs of cells between which HO assignments to Better or HO assignments to Worse have happened. It shows number of incoming / outgoing assignments to better / worse cell as well as the respective failure rates. Each of the success rate fields can be used for trigger and descending sort.

6.3 Hierarchical Cell Structure weekly report. This report relates to a group of serving cells and a selected week. It shows the incoming / outgoing handover attempts and handover success rates on fast moving mobiles (handovers at high rate). The success rate fields can be used for trigger and descending sort.

List of Ericsson counters to be imported into Metrica database.

See annexed Excel file.

Data to be imported into Metrica.

1.1 Traffic prediction. On a monthly basis a text file containing traffic predictions will be imported into Metrica. This file will contain one line per cell and per week, from the current week to the end of forecasting period (can be up to 2 years). Each line will show: Cell ID, Date, Predicted traffic, Required capacity. 1.2 Cell neighbouring relationships. The cell neighbouring relationships will be imported into Metrica to allow identification of zerohandover cells. The frequency will be between weekly and monthly. The file will be a text file with each line containing Serving cell ID and Target cell ID.

Miscellaneous.

1.1 Web access. All the reports and graphs defined in this document will be available through the Metrica web access. 1.2 Cell group creation. It will be possible for dedicated Metrica users (license) within the Radio Planning team to create new cell groups. Those groups will then be available to web access users. 1.3 Area cell group. Groups of cells based on the first two digits of the cell ID will be available (by example, the cell AN0246 would belong to the area group AN, etc.). They will be based on dynamic queries on cell Ids (as opposed to static definition).
