Weekly Maintenance Operations


This chapter describes the weekly maintenance items and operations of an eNodeB. Weekly maintenance items involve backing up the eNodeB configuration data,
preparing weekly reports on network performance, counting top alarms, auditing security logs, checking the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and checking the
equipment transmit power.

Backing Up the eNodeB Configuration Data


The eNodeB configuration data can be automatically or manually backed up on the U2000 client. Automatic backup can be periodically performed and
therefore applies to periodic tasks, and manual backup applies to other tasks. For routine maintenance tasks, automatic backup is recommended.
Preparing Weekly Reports on Network Performance
Counting Top Alarms
eNodeB alarms can be counted on an U2000 client. Analyzing top alarms helps know the severity and quantity distribution of top alarms in a week, facilitating
network quality analysis, fault diagnosis, and threat prevention.
Auditing Security Logs
Security logs record security-related operations, such as login and password changes. You must query and audit security logs on an U2000 client every week to
check whether system operations are authorized.
Checking the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio
The antennas working with a high VSWR can be located and rectified by checking the VSWR. Therefore, cell coverage decrease or cell unavailability caused
by a high VSWR can be prevented.
Checking the Equipment Transmit Power
You can estimate and adjust the equipment status by checking the radio frequency (RF) transmit (TX) power on the U2000 client.

Checking the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio


The antennas working with a high VSWR can be located and rectified by checking the VSWR. Therefore, cell coverage decrease or cell unavailability caused by a
high VSWR can be prevented.

Prerequisites

The U2000 client is properly connected to the U2000 server.


The U2000 server properly communicates with the eNodeB.

Context

The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is the ratio of the maximum load voltage to the minimum load voltage. It is used to judge whether the antenna system works
properly. The minimum VSWR value is 1. A high VSWR indicates a reduced signal transmission distance and easily damages the power amplifier (PA). In this case,
the operations of the communications system are affected.

By default, the VSWR on each transmit (TX) channel can be in any of the following conditions:

If the VSWR ranges from 1 to VSWR alarm threshold, the antenna system is normal. If the VSWR is greater than 1 and close to 1, the antenna system works
in the best performance.
If the VSWR ranges from VSWR alarm threshold to VSWR alarm post-processing threshold, the antenna system is abnormal. The cell coverage is affected
and an alarm is reported.
If the VSWR is greater than or equal to VSWR alarm post-processing threshold, the RF channels are disabled.

Therefore, if the VSWR is greater than or equal to VSWR alarm threshold, the antenna system is abnormal and the faults need to be rectified.

NOTE:

file:///C:/Users/david/AppData/Local/Temp/~hh1F11.htm 29-03-2017
eRAN Routine Maintenance Guide Page 24 of 35

To query the VSWR alarm threshold and VSWR alarm post-processing threshold, run theLST RRU command for Macro eNodeB , run theLST BRU command
for BTS3202E.

Procedure

Check the VSWR in real time.


NOTICE:
Checking the VSWR interrupts services in the cell for a few minutes, except checking a multi-mode RRU in a TDS&TDL dual-mode base station or an RRU3152e,
RRU3251, RRU3252, or RRU3253 in a TDD eNodeB. Therefore, you are advised to perform the operations during the period with the lowest traffic volume.
From the main menu of the U2000 client, choose Trace and Maintenance > Maintenance > Antenna Management > VSWR Test (application style) or
Maintenance > Antenna Management > VSWR Test (traditional style). Choose eNodeB in the left-pane of the VSWR Test tab page, and select an NE from the
navigation tree, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Choosing NEs for checking the VSWR

At the lower right corner, click Test. In the displayed Warning dialog box, click Yes, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Warning dialog box

If the progress in the VSWR Test dialog box reaches 100%, click Close. The result is displayed in the right-hand pane of the VSWR Test tab page, as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3 Test Result tab page

NOTE:

The checking result of the VSWR may be displayed as NULL in the following situations:

The VSWR alarm post-processing switch is set to ON and a major VSWR alarm is generated.
The current output power of the RRU\RU is 15 dB or more less than the maximum output power.
The current time is within two minutes away from the time when the RRU\RU was powered on or reset, because the periodic detection of the standing wave has
not been started in this case.
The specified TX channel does not exist.

Follow-up Procedure

If the VSWR is greater than VSWR alarm threshold, rectify faults by referring to ALM-26529 RF Unit VSWR Threshold Crossed in 3900 Series Base Station
Alarm Reference or BTS3202E Alarm Reference.

Checking the Equipment Transmit Power


You can estimate and adjust the equipment status by checking the radio frequency (RF) transmit (TX) power on the U2000 client.

Prerequisites

The U2000 client is properly connected to the U2000 server.


The U2000 server properly communicates with the eNodeB.

Context

The actual TX power of an RF module is normal if it is 0.5 dBm greater or less than the theoretical TX power.

For a cell with empty load, the theoretical TX power of an RF module is calculated based on the configured reference signal (RS) power. The formula used to
calculate the theoretical TX power is as follows: Theoretical TX power = RS power - 10log (14/ (Number of resource blocks (RBs) x Number of RSs on each RB)).

In this formula,

RS power indicates the configured RS power, which can be queried by running the LST PDSCHCFG command.
Number of RBs indicates the total number of RBs under a cell bandwidth, which can be queried by running the LST CELL command.
For details about Number of RSs on each RB, see 3GPP TS 36.211.

NOTE:
This check item is used only to trace the carrier TX power of a single RF module in real time.

Procedure

1. From the main menu of the U2000 client, choose Trace and Maintenance > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management (application style) or Monitor

file:///C:/Users/david/AppData/Local/Temp/~hh1F11.htm 29-03-2017
