User equipment
The term User Equipment (UE) refers to the mobile devices that are used to access
UMTS services.
Examples of UEs are:
• Mobile phone
• Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
• Laptop personal computer.

Access network
The access network is known as the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network
(UTRAN) and provides user access to the core network. The UTRAN also manages
the radio resources, call setup, and handovers.
A UMTS network may consist of one or more access networks that use different radio
access systems and that are linked to the same core network. Together these networks
form a single UMTS network.
The entities of the UTRAN are:
• Radio Network Controller (RNC)
• Node B.

Core network
The core network provides central switching, transmission and service-provisioning
functions that are required to provide UMTS services.
The entities of the core network are grouped into functional areas:
• Entities to support circuit-switched services
• Entities to support packet-switched services
• Entities that are shared by packet-switched and circuit-switched services.

Circuit-switched entities
The entities of the circuit-switched core network are:
• Mobile Switching Center (3G-MSC)
• Gateway MSC (GMSC)
• Visitor Location Register (VLR).

Node B
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Functions
The Node B is responsible for:
• Radio transmission and reception to and from the UE
• Termination of ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) 5 and AAL-2 layers on the Iub
interface
• Call-processing functions, including channel-element resource allocation and
application processing
• OA&M processing, including circuit-pack status monitoring and reporting to the
OMC
• External-alarm inputs and output control
• Antenna connections.

Physical
The Lucent UMTS Node Bs are dedicated to UMTS macro cellular applications and
are available in both indoor and outdoor versions.A single cabinet offers a capacity of
3 sectors on 1 carrier frequency.

Receive diversity
The Lucent UMTS Node Bs supports two-channel antenna diversity for the uplink.
Each antenna uses a separate receiver. The data from the receivers is combined. This
improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

Tower Top Low Noise Amplifier

The Lucent UMTS Node Bs supports interfaces for up to six Tower Top Low Noise
Amplifiers (TTLNA). The TTLNA improves the receiver noise and compensates for
cable losses and thus improves the cell capacity.

Antenna-tilt interface
The Lucent UMTS Node Bs supports an optional electrical antenna-tilt control
interface.

The RNC is primarily responsible for:
• Supporting of call setup, maintenance and tear down
• Management of radio resources
• Management of UE mobility in the UTRAN.

Call setup
Support of call setup, maintenance and tear down includes:
• Handling of call-admission requests (including integrity checks on signaling
messages)
• Establishing, maintaining and deleting signaling bearers towards a UE
• Establishing, maintaining and deleting radio bearers (at agreed QoS levels) towards
a UE
• Handling the routing of end-user voice and/or data traffic between the core network
and supporting Node Bs
• Implementing the ciphering of user traffic and control-plane signaling.

Radio resources
Management of radio resources includes:
• Setting power-level targets
• Allocating radio-channel codes.

UE mobility
Management of UE mobility in the UTRAN includes:
• Performing hard/soft/softer handovers.

RNC types
Types of RNC:
• Serving RNC (SRNC)
• Drift RNC (DRNC).

Serving RNC
The SRNC controls the connection of an established call between the UE and the
UTRAN. The SRNC is the RNC where the UE originates a call.

OMC functional blocks

The functional blocks within the OMC are:
• Sub-Network Management (SNM) integrates all managed sub-network elements
• RNC Element Manager (EM) integrates all RNC management agents
• Node B EM integrates all Node B management agents.

OMC interfaces
The OMC has the following interfaces:
• Itf-N between the OMC and the NMS (also named Northbound interface)
• Itf-R between the OMC and an RNC.
• Itf-B between the OMC and a Node B.

OMC connectivity
The OMC needs to connect to the UTRAN elements via both IP and ATM protocols.
The OMC can use an existing IP and/or an ATM infrastructure to connect with the
UTRAN elements.
Methods of transporting OA&M traffic via the Itf-R and Itf-B interfaces from the
OMC to the RNC and the Node B:
• In-band across the ATM network
• Separate data-connection network.
If the RNC is co-located with an ATM edge switch, the OA&M traffic from the OMC
to the Node B via the Itf-B can be sent on the physical links that are used for the Iub
traffic.

RNC Local Maintenance Terminal

The Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) acts as an EM terminal that provides access
to element-management functions for the RNC. A laptop or desktop PC can be used as
an LMT via a connection with the Local Area Network (LAN) connection of the RNC.

Remote Maintenance Terminal

The Remote Maintenance Terminal (RMT) acts as an EM terminal that provides access
to element-management functions for the Node B. A laptop or desktop PC can be used
as an RMT via a connection with the LAN connection of the Node B.

Node B Local Maintenance Terminal

The Node B Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) acts as an EM terminal that provides
access to element-management functions for the Node B. A laptop or desktop PC can
be used as an LMT via an Ethernet connection to the Ethernet port of the Node B.

UTRAN Transmission equipment

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
Network provisioning for the transmission equipment of the 3G wireless networks uses
the methods that are used for wireline networks. A transport network may have either
SDH or SONET equipment. Typically, the transmission equipment in the transport
networks consists of multiplexers that are arranged in ring configurations. The transport
network has to provide Internet Protocol (IP) over Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM).

Transmission equipment
Types of transmission equipment:
• Edge devices, for example: switches and access concentrators
• ATM end users, for example: Node B, RNC, 3G-MSC, and 3G-SGSN
• ATM backbone switches in the ATM transport network.

ATM provisioning
ATM provisioning consists of the provisioning of ATM network elements within the
different domains of the UMTS network.

UTRAN overview UTRAN Transmission equipment

Domains of the UMTS network:

• UTRAN
• Circuit-switched
• Packet-switched.
Each domain is managed by its distinct OMC.
Once ATM connections are established, they remain fairly static unless addition or
deletion of equipment is required. For example, when you add an RNC in the UTRAN,
the corresponding ATM network elements for the Itf-R, Itf-B, Iu-cs, Iu-ps and Iur
interfaces must be established.

ATM network management

ATM provisioning is managed by a centralized network-management system. This
system will send the ATM configuration commands to the appropriate OMCs.
Each OMC, in turn, will send the appropriate set of commands to the NEs within its
domain.

IP network provisioning
The UMTS network has IP components in the access, circuit, transport, and packet
domains. Each of these domains contains elements that need configuration files and IP
addresses for equipment initialization.

IP network management
For network provisioning, the IP addresses are static. There is no direct need to
centralize the provisioning of IP addresses. However, it is essential that an inventory of
IP addresses is maintained. VitalQIP ™ can be used to maintain this inventory.

– Battery Heaters
– Convenience outlet.
• The battery compartment contains backup batteries for short-term AC mains failure
coverage and controlled shutdown.
• The High Power Distribution Assembly (HPDA) distributes the DC power from the
AC rectifiers or the internal backup batteries or the optional external batteries to
the shelves inside the cabinet.
Non integrated power option
If DC power supply is available on site, the power module, containing the controller,
the rectifiers and the ACPDA may be omitted. In this case the HPDA is replaced by a
Low Power Distribution Assembly (LPDA), providing fuses for the heat exchanger
fans and the cabinet light.
As no battery backup is necessary when DC power is supplied on site, the battery
compartment is accordingly replaced by a blanking plate.
If additionally AC power supply is available on site, an optional AC service kit
providing an AC mains outlet may be installed.

Shelves
The Modular Cell Outdoor contains the following shelves:
• Filter shelf
• Amplifier shelf
“Note”: The amplifier shelf might be replaced by blanking plates for Multiple
Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA) configurations.
• Digital shelf.

Shelves and their components

The Modular Cell Outdoor shelves are equipped with the following components:

cPSB chassis and components

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
This topic describes the Compact PCI Packet Switched Backplane (cPSB) chassis,
which may also be referred to as the cPSB shelf, its component parts and their
functions.

cPSB chassis
The cPSB chassis and its installed components are the primary element of the FBP
cabinet. Up to twocPSB chassis can be contained in an FBP cabinet.
The cPSB chassis is PICMg2.16-compliant and is the foundation of the cPSB shelf and
components. The cPSB chassis includes the backplane, power, and cooling. It is a
full-height (12U high) chassis that provides slots for the remaining subcomponents.
The components in each PICMg2.16-compliant cPSB chassis include:
• Alarm Cards (AC): 2 per chassis
• Ethernet Switch Cards (ESC): 2 per chassis
• Depending on the configuration, up to 18 processing cards per chassis including
Common Intelligent Carrier Cards (CICCs), Gateway Common Carrier Cards
(GICCs) and Solaris Blades (SBs)
• Power supply units
• Fan trays
• Blank panels for unused slots.

Alarm Cards
The chassis Alarm Cards (ACs) provide reliability management for the blades. Two
alarm cards are used in each cPSB shelf. The alarm card follows the standard PICMG
2.16 and IPMI specifications. Software in the alarm cards implements low-level chassis
hardware management and provides alarm information to the application.
The alarm cards obtain feed voltage status directly from the power supplies. This
enables the alarm cards to send alarm information via Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) to a system manager.

Ethernet ® Switch Cards

The Ethernet ® Switch Cards (ESC) provide internal and external Ethernet connectivity.
Two ESCs are used in each cPSB shelf. The gigabit Ethernet switch operates in a
standard PICMG 2.16 extended fabric slot. The ESC provides a total of 24 switched

Gigabit Ethernet ports. Four of the switched ports are available for interfacing with
other switched ports in the cabinet or with an external network. 20 ports are available
within the backplane to connect to other cards in the chassis.

Solaris ® Blades
A Solaris Blade (SB) consists of a Sun ™ Sparc ® processor and provides call processing
and OA&M functions.
The SPARC processor core communicates with the packet switched backplane directly
through two 10/100 Base -TX Ethernet interfaces. The Solaris ® Blade is a PICMG ®
2.16 cPSB card implementing a complete Solaris system including processor, memory
and disk subsystem. Two PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) slots are available for individual
application needs.
The contents of the PCI mezzanine cards in the Solaris Blade varies:
• Slot A is available for additional I/O needs (for example, Ethernet interface)
• Slot B is reserved for the on-board disk drive.

Common Intelligent Carrier Cards

The Common Intelligent Carrier Cards (CICC) provide signalling processing and
general purpose processing power for software modules that are computer-intensive.
The UMTS RNC CICCs have three independent PowerPC processors, each running the
CP, SP and TP applications.

Gateway Common Carrier Cards

The Gateway Intelligent Carrier Cards (GICC) blade provide network routing between
traffic on ATM optical links and the Gigabit ports on the ESC for a fast, flexible data
path processing for a number of telecommunications protocols.

Power supply units

The bottom of each cPSB chassis contains two power trays. Each tray has its own
backplane that provides slots for up to four power supplies. Each power supply is a
field replaceable unit.

Fan trays
The top of each cPSB chassis contains three fan trays, each containing three fans, a
control board and a status LED. This combination of fan trays provides cooling for the
entire shelf. Each fan is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU).

Maintenance terminals
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Introduction
Maintenance terminals provide the maintenance management interface for the UTRAN.
Types of maintenance terminals are:
• RNC Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT)
• Node B Remote Maintenance Terminal (RMT).
• Node B Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT)

RNC LMT
The RNC LMT provides telnet access to a command-line interface that is used to
perform administration, diagnosis, and maintenance of the RNC equipment. Connection
to the RNC is via the RNC LAN or directly over the RS-232 serial port.

Node B RMT
The Node B RMT application allows maintenance tasks to be performed on a Node B
without a physical connection to a wireless network. The Node B RMT can be used
for installation and maintenance of Node B cells.

Node B LMT
The Node B LMT provides access to the element management functions used to
perform administration, diagnosis, and maintenance of the Node B equipment.
Connection to the Node B is via the Ethernet port on the Node B.
Event message
The Node B sends an event message to the OMC to indicate that a Node B LMT has
gained control over the Node B. In this case, the Node B maintains the registration
with both the OMC and the Node B LMT. Any autonomous events and alarms from
the Node B, which are generated by the Node B, are sent to both the OMC and the
Node B LMT.
Events resulting from operations such as create or delete from the OMC will be sent to
the Node B LMT. Events resulting from operations such as create or delete from the
Node B LMT will be sent to the OMC.
When both the OMC and Node B LMT manage the same Node B in parallel, the LMT
takes precedence. In this case, the Node B LMT has read/write privileges and the
OMC has read-only privileges. The Node B automatically synchronizes its data with
the OMC through events.

Functions of LMTs and RMTs

The principal functions of RMTs and LMTs are to:
• Perform installation and commissioning tasks
• Read and write inventory data
• Create and restore backups
• Fault management
• Software administration
• Tests and diagnostics (reset, shutdown, etc.)
• Trace/debug functions.

Main Maintenance Terminal

The Integrated Maintenance System for UTRAN (FIMS-UT) is a laptop or desktop PC
that is equipped with software to integrate different maintenance tools on one PC
platform. The term Main Maintenance Terminal (MMT) is also used instead of
FIMS-UT. The RNC can physically connect one MMT at a time.
Applications that are combined on the MMT:
• OMC Remote Access for installation scripts and routine maintenance activities on
each NE
• RNC LMT that is used to diagnose and maintain the RNC
• Mobility Server (FMS) interface for access to the FMS resources
• Node B RMT that is used for local diagnosis and maintenance of Node B BTSs
• Node B LMT that is used to administer, diagnose and maintain the Node B.

Orthogonal Channel Noise Simulator

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
The Orthogonal Channel Noise Simulator (OCNS) is a tool that simulates voice or data
traffic on the forward link or downlink from the Node B to the UE within a cell or
cluster of cells. The OCNS runs on the Node B, hence only OCNS setup data is sent
over the Iub interface and not the noise itself.

Test call
On request of a technician, OCNS noise is generated to cause interference for a special
test call. This is particularly necessary when the network is first installed and when
cluster testing and complete system testing are required.

Noise model
Noise models that are supported by the OCNS are:
• Voice
• Data.
The generated noise pattern can be defined by parameters to simulate the interference
noise that is generated by real live traffic.

OCNS voice model

The OCNS voice simulation model and parameters for a single user:
burst on time

burst off time

Where:
• burst on time represents voice activity by the simulated user
• burst off time represents no voice activity by the simulated user.

OCNS data model

The OCNS data simulation model and parameters for a single user:

burst off time think time

Where:
• burst on time represents data activity by the simulated user
• burst off time represents no data activity by the simulated user
• burst cluster represents the total on and off burst time
• think time represents the processing time for the tool.

Power variation
Power variation can be used to vary the power of each frame to simulate power
control. When power variation is switched off, each frame will be sent with a constant
power level.

RF trace
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Introduction
The RF trace capability is a service which allows the operator to gather radio related
information associated with a predefined UE.
The information that is collected is can be used by the network operator to:
• Check the network performance
• Localize faults
• Optimize the network.

Performed in RNC
The RF trace functionality within the RNC is performed by the collection of signaling
messages on the Uu, Iub and Iu interfaces.

Collected data
For each RF trace, data is collected from the following sources:
• UE
• Node B
• RNC.

Trace data storage

After receiving the command to start an RF trace, the RNC creates a trace-data file.
The file name has the following format IMSI_timestamp_rncid. It consistes of the IMSI
of the UE, the time upon which the trace was initiated and the RNC identity.

Number of RF traces
The maximum number of traces that can be performed are:
• One RF trace per UE
• 10 RF traces per RNC.

Viewing trace data

The trace-data files are in XML format and can be viewed with a normal text editor on
the screen at the RNC LMT or the OMC (after uploading the file from the RNC). The
trace-data files can be archived for analysis and processing by data-analysis tools.

HSDPA Orthogonal Channel Noise Simulator

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
The High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) Orthogonal Channel Noise
Simulator (OCNS) is a tool that simulates HSDPA traffic on the forward link or
downlink from the Node B to the UE within a cell or cluster of cells.

Test call
On request of a technician, HSDPA-OCNS traffic is generated to cause interference for
a special test call. This is particularly necessary when the network is first installed and
when cluster testing and complete system testing are required.

HSDPA-OCNS data model

The HSDPA-OCNS data simulation model and parameters for a single user:
burst cluster burst on time

burst off time think time

Where:
• burst on time represents data activity by the simulated user
• burst off time represents no data activity by the simulated user
• burst cluster represents the total on and off burst time
• think time represents the processing time for the tool.

Power variation
Power variation can be used to vary the power of each frame to simulate power
control. When power variation is switched off, each frame will be sent with a constant

Modify Node B frequency - CLI

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This topic provides the procedure to modify the frequency used in the downlink
direction for a Node B cell.
The OMC CLI is used in this procedure.
Important! This procedure is useful when you update a few Node Bs manually. If
the frequency of all Node Bs in a market need to be changed, then a script which
makes repetitive use of the modifycell-lcell command is recommended.

Commands
There are two commands:
• Shutdown - In this scenario, the LCell object is shutdown gracefully. Existing calls
within the cell are allowed to complete before the object is shutdown. See “Modify
Node B frequency - without locking cell” (p. 6-6).
• Lock - In this scenario, the LCell object is immediately shutdown. Existing calls
within the cell are not allowed to complete before the object is shutdown. See
“Modify Node B frequency - locking cell” (p. 6-6).

Scripts
A script can be created to change the frequency for multiple cells on multiple Node Bs.
The script will need to repeat the modifycell-lcell command multiple times to
change the frequency for the required cells.

Reference
For more information on the modifycell-lcell command, refer to:
• Command Line Interface, 401-380-072.

Before you begin

Ensure that:
• you have appropriate CM privileges
• the required frequency is available. See “Verify RNC configured frequency”
(p. 6-3).
Important! This command is service affecting as the LCell object will be
shutdown by the modifycell-lcell command.

9

Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This chapter provides the procedures to be used by the OMC administrator in order to
generate a number of recommended alarm filters that can be used during the alarm
surveillance process.
After the filters are created, they can be used by the OMC operator during the
day-to-day alarm surveillance process. These filters allow the operator to quickly
oversee the alarm status of the network elements or interfaces while performing Fault
Management (FM).
Note: The filters that are discussed in this topic are defined on the OMC. If a filter
needs to be defined to suppress alarm on a Node B or an RNC itself, refer to the
“Suppress alarms on a Node B or an RNC” (p. 13-13) topic.

Recommended OMC filters

Recommended filters
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Filters
Filters filter data and display only the data that is matching the filter criteria. The
OMC operator can create filters to filter for example by alarm severity or type of
alarm. Filters can be stored on the OMC server. In specific situations, like an overload
situation, the OMC operator can select the appropriate filter to see only the alarms that
are matching the filter criteria.

Recommended filters
Alarms are cleared by severity. During serious UTRAN network problems, many
alarms of a different severity are displayed in the Alarm Tables.
Therefore Lucent recommends to create the following filters:

Filter name Contents

Unacknowledged alarm filter Filter for all unacknowledged alarms
which are not cleared.
Acknowledged alarm by user filter Filter for all acknowledged alarms which
are acknowledged by you.
All alarms during shift filter Filter for all alarms that occur during your
shift.
Critical alarm filter Filter for critical alarms only.
Critical major alarm filter Filter for critical and major alarms only.

The UTRAN information model

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Managed Information Base

Inside each network element data is available to indicate how the element should
operate and how it is configured. In each element this information is stored inside a
“database.”
The 3GPP specifications refer to this “database” as the Managed Information Base
(MIB).

Managed Information Model

The MIB of each network element needs a number of definitions. For example, to
indicate:
• How the information that is managed in the MIB, is structured
• The operations that are allowed on the managed information
• The notifications that the managed information is allowed to omit.
All these definitions that have been made for a MIB, are combined into a structure that
is referred to as the Managed Information Model (MIM).
Note that the MIM only defines how the MIB is structured together with the actions
that are allowed within this structure. It does not provide the actual contents of the
MIB!

MIM Example
A common example of a MIB and a MIM:

MIB example MIM example

A database that contains information about The database definitions that for example
all company employees. define that for each employee two mobile
numbers may be inserted in the database.

Managed information in the Lucent UTRAN

The Lucent UTRAN can contain up to six MIBs where information is stored for
control and configuration of the network. These MIBs are located in the following
network elements:
• Node B controller
• RNC controller
• OMC-UPS
• Network Management System (optional).

The UTRAN Managed Information Model (MIM) MIBs in the Lucent UTRAN

Node B MIB
The Node B MIB contains all information that is needed to configure and control the
Node B hardware and the logical Node B objects (the cells) that are controlled by the
Node B.

RNC MIB
The RNC MIB contains all information that is needed to configure and control the
RNC hardware and the logical RNC objects (the location areas, handover parameters,
etc.) that are controlled by the RNC.

OMC-UPS MIBs
In the OMC-UPS three MIBs are available:

MIB name Description

Sub-Network Manager (SNM) Includes all information that:
MIB • Can be forwarded and accessed by the Network
Management Systems using the “Northbound”
interface (Itf-N interface)
• Is used by the OMC-UPS as a source “database”
to configure Node Bs and RNCs in the UTRAN.
Partial “shadowed” copy of the This copy allows the OMC operator continuously to
Node B MIB view the “last reported” functional state of the Node
B.
Partial “shadowed” copy of the This copy allows the OMC operator continuously to
RNC MIB view the “last reported” functional state of the RNC.

NMS MIB (optional)

If a Network Management System (NMS) is available, it is possible to store a (partial)
“shadowed” copy of the SNM MIB in the NMS. This copy allows the NMS operator
to view a subset of the SNM configuration when the NMS connection to the OMC is
lost.
Note that the availability of this particular MIB depends on the manufacturer of the
NMS.

MIB contents
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
This topic provides the definitions that are needed to better understand the
object-oriented structure of the MIBs.

Definition
Objects Represent the basic building blocks of the MIB.
In the MIB, each object:
• Has a contained relationship with a parent object (except for the top object)
• Can be associated with other objects
• Consists of a number of attributes (parameters).

Definition
Object types Can represent either physical or logical resources. A physical object is
real and can be touched whereas a logical object is abstract in nature.
Examples of Physical and Logical Objects

Physical objects A host, an antenna, a hub, or a router.

Logical objects A local area network (LAN) or alarm log.

Definition
Attribute An attribute is a property carried by an object. This property is a condition,
value or predefined set of values. All objects have one or more attributes.

Definition
Parent-Attribute When an attribute exists of more than one property it is referred to
as a Parent-Attribute.

Definition
Sub-Attribute When an attribute exists of more than one property, the parent-attribute
can be divided into a number of sub-attributes. Each sub-attribute can be a
condition, value or predefined set of values.

The UTRAN Managed Information Model (MIM) MIB contents

Definition
Contained relationship When an object has a contained relationship with another
object, there is a parent-child relation between these two objects. To be able to
create a child object, the parent object always needs to be present.

Definition
Associated relationship When an object has an associated relationship with another
object, the objects rely upon the services of each other. Neither object is
subordinate to the other but they are directly related, and neither can function
without the other. In some cases, an object that relies upon the service of another
object, cannot be created until the other object is created first.

Adding and removing objects

For each MIB object, definitions have been made that define if the object:
• Can be added
• Can be removed
• Is automatically created.

Inserting and updating attribute values

For each MIB attribute a definition has been made with available actions while
inserting or updating the attribute value.
The allowed actions per attribute are:

Key Code Definition Description

RO Read Only You cannot modify the attribute values.
RO-SC Read Only - Set On You cannot modify the attribute values.
Create The attribute can only be set through a
create object request.
RW Read Write You can modify the attribute values.
RW-EL Read Write - Element You can modify the attribute. The
Locked element must be locked before you can
modify the attribute.
RW-LO Read Write - Lock Object You can modify the attribute values. The
object must be locked before you can
modify the attribute.
RW-PL Read Write - Parent You can modify the attribute values. The
locked parent object must be locked before you
can modify the attribute.
RW-RR Read Write - Reset You can modify the attribute. Attribute
Required changes do not take effect until after a
reset of the object.

Reference
For more information about the actions that can be performed on each UTRAN
attribute, refer to the UTRAN Attribute Descriptions manual, 401-382-801.

Introduction
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Information models
When an OMC operator is performing UTRAN related tasks at the OMC GUI or CLI,
the operator must understand how all these managed objects:
• Are represented at the OMC (their names)
• Are related to each other (the contained and associated relationships that they
have).
All this information is provided in the information models.

Available information models

For the Lucent UTRAN the following information models are available:
• SNM
• RNC
• Node B.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Reduced GUI MIM visibility

To reduce the complexity of the OMC-UPS GUI, the OMC-UPS operator is offered a
MIM version with a reduced number of SNM objects on the GUI. This simplified
approach allows the operator a more clear overview of the status and structure of the
UTRAN.
To assure the correct operation of the OMC-UPS, the OMC-UPS wizards and CLI
commands have been created in such a way that they assure that all SNM information
that is not visible in on the GUI is still correctly populated in the SNM MIB.

CLI visibility
To assure that the SNM MIM is still fully accessible and manageable, the complete
model has been made accessible for OMC-UPS CLI users.

UTRAN fault-management architecture

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
UTRAN fault management:
• Provides the required functionality for the operator to detect faults
• Determines the cause of faults in the system
• Helps the operator to minimize the effect of the faults on the service provided by
the network
• Provides assistance to correct the fault.
Fault management monitors the operational and administrative states of each of the
network elements within the system that is controlled by the Element Managers (EM),
as well as the operational and administrative states of all the individual components of
the network elements.

Reference
UMTS fault management is based on the TMN management principles for fault
management that are defined in:
• ITU-T Recommendation M.3400: TMN Management Functions.
The requirements for UMTS fault management are outlined in:
• 3G Technical Specification 32.111: UMTS - 3G Configuration Management.
The requirements for alarm reporting are outlined in:
• ITU-T Recommendation X.733: Information Technology - Open Systems
Interconnection - System Management: Alarm reporting function

Fault-management architecture
The fault-management architecture for the UTRAN domain with the Integrated Fault
Manager (IFM) interfacing to the OMC and the OMC interfacing to the network
elements Node B and RNC:

Element managers
The Element Managers (EM) collect and classify event and alarm messages and then
display the appropriate status to EM operators. The NEs are able to take defined
recovery action depending on the nature of the fault and the EM is also able to take
defined recovery action to return the network to an operational state.

OMC
The OMC combines the element-management functions for the UTRAN NEs in one
system. The OMC monitors and controls the RNC, the Node B and the external
equipment that is controlled from these NEs.
Functional blocks within the OMC:
• RNC Element Management (RNC EM) function
• Node B Element Management (Node B EM) function
• Integrated RNC/Node B Sub-Network Management (SNM) function.

LMT
The Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) is attached to a single RNC. The
fault-management operator will have access to a RNC from the LMT terminal.

RMT
The Remote Maintenance Terminal (RMT) is attached to a single Node B. The
fault-management operator will have access to a Node B from the RMT terminal.

IFM
The Integrated Fault Manager (IFM) is the fault-management functionality that is
resident at the Network Management System (NMS) in the management hierarchy. The
IFM provides an overall view of the different types of equipment within the complete
UMTS system, including the outstanding alarms and the operational states of the NEs.

UTRAN alarm parameters

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Fault-detection alarm parameters

For each fault that is detected in the Node B or RNC, the fault-detection process
supplies the following alarm parameters to the OMC:
• Affected component
• Alarm type
• Severity
• Probable cause
• Time when the fault was detected
• Nature of the fault
• Any other information that helps to understand the cause and the location of the
abnormal situation.

Affected component
The affected component indicates the hardware unit in which the defect has been
detected.
Identification of the affected unit:
• On the OMC the affected unit is indicated by its FDN.
An example of the FDN is: LRNC=1,Cabinet=1,FBPShelf=1,CICC=1.
• In the fault clearance procedures the affected unit is indicated in the first part of the
alarm name.
An example of the alarm name is: CICC_lostCommunication.

Alarm event types

Alarm event types that can occur in the network are:

Alarm event type Description

Communications An alarm of this type is principally associated with the
procedures and/or processes that are required to convey
information from one point to another.
Environmental An alarm of this type is principally associated with a
condition that relates to an enclosure in which the equipment
resides.
Equipment An alarm of this type is principally associated with an
equipment fault.

Principles of maintenance UTRAN alarm parameters

Alarm event type Description

Processing error An alarm of this type is principally associated with a
software or processing fault.
Quality-of-service fault An alarm of this type is principally associated with a
degradation in the quality of a service.

Alarm severity
Alarms in the network can have the following degree of severity:

Severity Description
Critical A service-affecting condition has occurred and requires
immediate corrective action.
This degree of severity is used when a fault has affected the
service provided to the mobile user(s) such that no service can
be provided in some areas.
Major A service-affecting condition has occurred and urgent
corrective action is required.
This degree of severity is used when a fault has reduced rather
than removed the capability of the network to provide a
service.
Minor A non-service-affecting fault has occurred and corrective action
should be taken to prevent more serious faults.
Typically, minor faults are faults that do not degrade the
network capacity, maybe because redundant capacity was
available or the fault did not affect network traffic.
Warning A potential or impending service-affecting condition has been
detected.
The problem should be corrected to prevent it becoming
service-affecting.
Indeterminate The severity level cannot be determined.

Probable cause
The probable cause of the alarm indicates the most probable reason for triggering the
alarm.

Principles of maintenance UTRAN alarm parameters

Examples of probable causes:

• equipmentMalfunction
• heatingOrVentilationOrCoolingSystemProblem
• powerProblem
• softwareError
• transmitFailure.

Nature of the alarm

The nature of the alarm can be as follows:

Nature Description
ADAC Alarms of this type are Automatically Detected and Automatically
Cleared (ADAC).
Alarms that belong to this category will automatically be removed
from the active list at the moment that the fault has been corrected.
Examples:
• The alarm is cleared when the unit has been replaced
successfully
• The alarm is automatically cleared when the software process
has successfully restarted.
ADMC Alarms of this type are Automatically Detected but must be
Manually Cleared (ADMC).
Alarms that belong to this category must be removed manually from
the OMC active alarm list at the moment that the fault has been
corrected.
Examples:
• After the unit has been replaced the alarm must be manually
reset
• After the software process has restarted the alarm must be
manually reset.

UTRAN alarm thresholds

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Alarm thresholds
For certain Node B and RNC events, thresholds have been defined to indicate when an
alarm should be triggered. In almost all cases these threshold levels have been defined
internally in the NE and can not be changed.

Fault types
Thresholds are used to detect faults of the following types:

Fault type Example

Environmental fault High temperature.
Overload More than a given percentage of a system resource such as
disk space is being used.
Unacceptably frequent On a communication link one CRC error is unremarkable
transient errors but a rate of 10% is unacceptable.

Environmental faults
Upper and lower thresholds are used to detect an environmental condition and its
clearance. This method is used to prevent repeated reporting and clearance if a
condition fluctuates around a single threshold.
A second threshold may be defined at which the equipment is endangered by adverse
environmental conditions and more drastic action must therefore be taken, for example:
shut down autonomously.
Note
Most environmental conditions will be detected using external equipment, and will
therefore be detected as external alarms.

Overload conditions
Overload conditions are reported when a threshold is exceeded and cleared with
hysteresis.

Detection of repeated transient errors

For the detection of repeated transient errors, two sets of parameters are used:
• A maximum count of the number of transient events that can occur (N1)
• A time interval in which transient events are permitted (T1).

Check UTRAN status

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This topic provides the procedures that can be performed to check the operational
status and alarm status of the complete UTRAN.
Note: The procedures that are provided in this topic are written as complementary
procedures to the normal alarm surveillance process that is described in the “Alarm
surveillance process” (p. 13-3).

Recommended time to perform this procedure

Since the outcome of this procedure can have influence on the normal day to day
alarm surveillance process, it is recommended to perform this procedure at the
beginning of the working day or shift.
Reference
Refer to “Preventive maintenance schedule” (p. 12-2) for more information about how
often this task should be performed from a preventive maintenance point of view.

Before you begin

No additional information is required before you begin this procedure.

Preventive maintenance

Check RF coverage
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
The measurements that can be used in preventive maintenance to test the RF network
coverage are:
• Drive test
• RF trace.
Reference
For more information about how often the RF coverage should be checked from a
preventive maintenance point of view, see the “Preventive maintenance schedule”
(p. 12-2) topic.

Drive test
Drive test equipment is used to measure downlink RF coverage.
Equipment typically consists of two components:
• UMTS receiver
• UMTS test phone.
The UMTS receiver is used to measure basic UMTS Node B transmitter characteristics
(for example Tx Power, Pilot level).
The test mobile is used to measure a downlink channel and record Physical and Layer
3 message to monitor the progress of a test call and identify potential causes of quality
affecting issues.

RF trace
The RF Trace capability is a service that allows the operator to gather radio related
information associated to a predefined UE.
Reference
For more information about the RF trace service:
• General information, refer to “RF trace” (p. 5-6)
• Procedures for managing RF traces, refer to “Manage the RF trace service”
(p. 27-8).

Measurement analysis
When measurements are performed regularly and the information is analyzed, an
operator can detect trends. For example deteriorating performances can be detected,
even before errors are generated.

step 1.
Examples of abnormalities are:
• Processes that are restarted on a regular basis
• Alarms that occur on a regular basis
• OC3/STM1 interfaces that have framing errors
once in a while
• E1/T1 interfaces that have framing errors once
in a while.

Suppress alarms on a Node B or an RNC

Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This section includes the GUI procedures that can be used to suppress alarms on a
Node B or an RNC.
Alarm suppression can be useful when:
• Unimportant alarms keep on appearing on the OMC
• Certain Node Bs and/or RNCs are flooding the OMC with alarms. When this
happens, it might be useful to temporarily suppress all or part of the alarms of the
failing network element.

NE communication establishment failure

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides instructions for clearing the fault that was caused when there
is a NE communication establishment failure for receiving events or to synchronize
alarms.

Description
There is no connectivity between the OMC and the NE to receive events or to perform
alarm synchronizations. This alarm is created either on system startup or on NE
creation.

Severity
CRITICAL

Probable cause
• The network element is down
• Problems in the LAN network
• Problems in the transmission network between the OMC-UPS and the network
element.

System impact
• Autonomous NE updates (state changes, alarms, etc.) will not appear on the system
for that NE
• Alarm synchronization operation will fail for that NE
• The system will reflect the last known state for that NE before the communication
was lost.
• Lost calls due to a failing network element
• Technician maintenance requests from the OMC-UPS will be denied

Event-driven overload on single NE

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides instructions for clearing the fault that was caused when a
predefined overload threshold was exceeded for a specified NE.

Description
This overload condition occurs when the system is receiving more events from the NE
than the number specified by the threshold.

Severity
MINOR, MAJOR or CRITICAL based on overload severity.

Probable cause
• The system is receiving events over a predefined threshold
• The network element performs a reboot
• The network element is in an unstable state

System impact
• The system performance may be affected when receiving more events that it can
handle at a given time. This impact depends on the threshold levels being exceeded
and the load of the system when the overload condition is raised.
• Autonomous system updates (state changes, alarms, etc.) will not appear on the
OMC-UPS.
• The OMC-UPS will reflect the last known state of the system before the event
buffer became overloaded (shadowed mode).

Related information
Thresholds can be established per NE type and per event type (alarms and non-alarms
event types). Thresholds are defined by the detection and abatement levels, which are
both the same.
By default the system takes the following corrective actions to abate the overload
condition. These corrective actions depend on the threshold being exceeded
• Minor: no corrective actions are taken by the system.
• Major: discard all the events coming from this NE if it is a normal priority one.
• Critical: discard all the events coming from this NE whether the NE is high or
normal priority.

See notice on first page Issue 1, August 2007
Corrective maintenance - OMC alarm clearance Event-driven overload on single NE
procedures

If an overload condition starts at a given severity, all the actions defined for each lower
severity will be executed before starting the corrective actions for the current severity.
For example, if the overload condition starts at critical severity, all the corrective
actions defined for minor and major severity will be executed before proceeding with
those actions defined for the critical level. Events will be processed again once the
overload condition of the given severity is abated. Events discarded by the corrective
actions will be processed again when the NE is re-synchronized.

Before you begin

By default this alarm is automatically cleared by the system as soon as the overload
condition is abated as described above. If the overload condition last too long or there
is no apparent reason for the system to get into overload state, then follow the next
steps.

To clear alarm
Contact the system administrator and alert them about the problem. The system
administrator may need to perform the following actions:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Analyze the message to determine the NE causing the overload. Then check if this NE
has any kind of problem that makes it to send an excess of events. Set the NE to
unmanage state to stop receiving burst of events from it.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Check the overload threshold levels are correctly established. They can have too low
values so the overload conditions are raised too soon. Change the thresholds if they do
not fit your environment.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Once the problem is resolved, perform a manual re-synchronization of the NE if

needed.

Heartbeat failed
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides instructions for clearing the fault that was caused when an NE
heartbeat fails.

Description
This alarm is generated when the heartbeat synchronization signal between the
indicated Network element and the OMC is lost. This happens when you cannot access
the NE or when there is a NE type or NE version mismatch. The default parameter for
heartbeat frequency is one minute.

Severity
Critical when there is a NE type mismatch and Major when there is an NE version
mismatch.

Probable cause
• The network element is down
• Problems in the LAN network
• Problems in the transmission network between the OMC-UPS and the network
element.

System impact
• Lost calls due to a failing network element.
• Alarms and events from the NE are lost
• Technician maintenance request from the management system will be denied.
• Autonomous system updates such as state changes will not appear on the OMC.
• The OMC will reflect the last known state of the system before the communication
was lost (shadowed mode).

To clear alarm
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 If the alarm occurs for more than one network element, check the network
(LAN/WAN) connections.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 If the heartbeat failure is indicated for a given NE, check the appropriate fault
clearance procedures for the different heartbeat failures.

ND OF STEPS

RNC Fault clearance procedure

Perform the following steps to clear the alarm.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 At the RNC, check whether RNC processes are initialized by RCC and AMW (system
software)

If ... then ...

FMS 1 and FMS 2 are not bring the RNC down and initialize again.
initialized by the system
software,

Result: After initialization the BSC OAM process is running on either FMS1 or
FMS2.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Check the TCP/IP communication between the RNC and the OMC-UPS.
FMS 1 and FMS 2 should be able to ping the OMC-UPS External IP address.
Similarly, the OMC-UPS should be able to ping the external FMS IP address
provisioned.
Additionally the RNC’s FWRVCVM IP address needs to be pingable.
If it is not possible to ping the OMC-UPS and/or the FMS check:
• Infrastructure cable connections and cable connectors
• Ethernet-Switch Port set up in the RNC
• IP address of OMC-UPS of /etc/hosts as configured during RNC installation

procedures

• Incorrect infrastructure static IP routes

• RNC ARP table resolution problems. The solaris backbone system may need its
ARP entries deleted such that a refresh occurs autonomously as part of the RNC
intialization.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Check the throughput of the actual Itf-r link. Check the Transport Network or
connection and throughput to ensure no dropped packets are occurring.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Contact Alcatel-Lucent customer support to check the database as installed in the RNC
and in the OMC-UPS (data scripts). Errors when populating data lead to inabilities for
the registration use case to complete.

ND OF STEPS

Node B Fault clearance procedure

Perform the following steps to clear the alarm.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Check the TCP/IP communication between the Node B and the OMC-UPS.
The OMC-UPS should be able to ping the external Node B OAM&P IP address.
If it is not possible to ping the Node B, check:
• Infrastructure cable connections and cable connectors
• Correct Configuration of DHCP-Server, from which the NodeB retrieves its IP
address as well as netmasks, etc.
• Correct setup of IP interfaces on LIU and UMC of the NodeB
• Correct setup of ERM-Module in PSAX connected to NodeB.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Check the throughput of the actual Itf-b link. Check the Transport Network or
connection and throughput to ensure no dropped packets are occurring.

CGF or SGSN Fault clearance procedure

Perform the following steps to clear the alarm.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Check the TCP/IP communication between the CGF or SGSN and the OMC-UPS.
The OMC-UPS should be able to ping the external IP address of the NE.
• Ping the CGF or SGSN from the OMC-UPS server
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 If it is not possible to ping the CGF or SGSN, clear the IPsec settings on both the
OMC-UPS and the NE then ping again to determine if there are possible network
problems.
To clear the IPSec settings:
• SSH to the NE and run “showIPsec ca” or
• From the OMC-UPS server /omc/OMC-U/scripts/ directory run “./disable_ipsec.sh
ipaddress”
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 If the problem persists, verify that the OMC-UPS IP address is configured for SNMP
Management, that the system IP address is valid and that the Community String is
enabled.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 If the problem persists, contact Alcatel-Lucent customer support.

NE event could not be processed

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides instructions for clearing the fault that was caused when a NE
event could not be processed

Description
An network element could not be processed because the event type that was passed on
was incorrect.

Severity
WARNING

Probable cause
Lock could not be acquired, or the management system detected that one MO for
which one or more events have been received, is not found in the management system
database.

System impact
The OMC and the network element are not 100% synchronized. Any attribute value
change related to MO not found in OMC database could not be handled.

Related information
Important! This alarm must be cleared manually. Alarm Correlation can also use
alarms with nature ADMC.

Before you begin

Perform a data synchronization on the NE.

To clear alarm
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Perform a full tree network synchronization on the NE reporting the problem.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Unmanaged state set to NE

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides instructions for clearing the fault that was caused when a NE
state was set to unmanaged.

Description
The state of the NE is set to unmanaged. In the unmanaged state, the NE continues to
provide service but the communication between management system and the NE is
stopped. The communication can be restored whenever needed.

Severity
WARNING

Probable cause
The network element has been changed into unmanaged state.

System impact
• The OMC closes the connection with the NE. This implies that the operator will be
unable to perform any operation on the NE or to receive any notification from it.
• Loss of communication to the NE and corrupt data. Any operation that implies
communication with the NE will be rejected. The alarms shown for this NE may
not represent the current alarm status.
• Technician maintenance requests from the OMC-UPS will not be send to the NE.
• The system will reflect the last known state of the system before the
communication was lost.

Object relationships
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Managed objects
The Node B is a collection of Managed Objects (MO). When an MO detects an error
condition and sends an alarm to the OMC-UPS which is not only informational, the
system will perform an autonomous recovery action.

Dependencies
Some MOs such as radios, UCUs, TDUs depend on other MOs, e.g. a Radio MO
depends on the CTU MO. So when the CTU MO is disabled because it detects an
error condition, the Radio MO will also be disabled.
If a number of alarms for different MOs are sent to the OMC, the operator should
proceed as follows:
1. Find and analyse the oldest alarm (timestamp)
2. Perform the fault clearance procedure defined for it.

Report the alarm

When a fault occurs in a Node B hardware or software unit, the fault is reported to the
Fault Management (FM) software in the Node B.
After receiving this fault indication, the FM software reports the appropriate alarm to
the OMC.

Issue 1, August 2007 See notice on first page
Corrective maintenance - Node B alarm clearance Node B fault recovery actions
procedures

The FM logs alarms locally in the historical alarm logfile which is stored in the RAM.
These alarms can be viewed via ftp (one file per day and one summary file
“NODEB.ALARM”). The Node B RMT provides access to the historical alarm logfiles
via the “FTP Agent” screen. When the Node B is reset, the historical alarm logfile is
empty.

Possible alarm recovery actions

Depending on the seriousness of the fault and the type of unit on which the fault has
been reported, the FM software can take the following recovery actions to solve the
fault:
• Reset and reinitialize the unit
• Isolate the unit.

Automatically reinitialize
The unit is reset and reinitialized automatically by the NodeB as local fault defense.
Note: If the fault occurs again, this local fault defense is repeated, if the reinitialization
threshold hasn’t been reached (6 reinitializations within 1 hour). If the threshold has
been reached, the unit is isolated

Isolate unit
If the unit has a severe fault or the reinitialization threshold has reached, the unit is
isolated, which means that it is reset, but not reinitialized. The operator must trigger a
reset action of the unit, so that the unit leaves the isolate state.

Perform fault clearance procedure

The operator must perform the fault clearance procedures for the unit when:
• The unit automatically performed reset and reinitialization, but the fault hasn’t been
cleared and so the alarm is reported again
• The unit has been moved to isolate (i.e. alarm is pending stable)
• The alarm is not cleared within an appropriate amount of time.
• The alarm is not cleared automatically (ADMC alarm)

Clearing alarms

If... then...
the fault has been cleared but the MO an additional alarm is raised, the MO is
fails to successfully reset and initialize, isolated (MO dependent) and the initial
alarm will still be pending.

If... then...
the fault has been cleared and the MO an alarm clear message is forwarded to
ssuccessfully resets and initializes, the OMC to remove the alarm from the
active alarm list.1

Notes:
1. If after a short time frame (depends on the MO), the fault is triggered again in the Node
B, the MO will be reset (an alarm will be triggered for during the reset period). If the
fault occurs more than six times within the next hour, the MO will become isolated and
the triggered alarm will remain active.

Autonomous recovery actions taken by the Node B

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
This topic describes the autonomous actions that are taken by the Node B whenever
the Node B is internally reset.

Autonomous recovery
When a severe fault occurs, the Node B is autonomously reset.
When a URC is reset, the loss of communication with the Node B will be indicated by
an RNC alarm at the OMC.

Node B status during autonomous recovery

When a URC is reset, the OMC looses communication with the Node B.
During the reset, the status of the Node B is not clear to the OMC operator until the
reset is successfully completed and the connection to the OMC is reestablished.

Failing URC
The following actions are taken after a severe fault has been detected in the URC:

Action Result Expected

recovery time
The Node B will be reset. The cells that are related to this < 5 min1
Node B are not operational until all
main units of the Node B have
returned to the operational state.

Notes:
1. If the URC software restarted successfully.

Node B hardware replacement procedures

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Node B hardware replacement

If hardware must be replaced, the fault clearance procedure lists the following steps:
1. At the OMC, lock <object-name>
2. At the <NE>, replace <hardware>
3. At the OMC, reset the <object-name>
4. At the OMC, unlock <object-name>.
These fault clearance procedure steps are not intended as an exact step-by-step
procedure, but only as an high level overview.
The exact steps in the procedure to replace hardware are described in “Fault
Management”, chapter “Corrective maintenance - fault correction” of the Node B
OA&M manual.
The chapter describes the detailed step-by-step procedures and includes additional
information, such as safety warnings and required tools.

Description
The Radio’s internal attenuators are at their limit or the Radio gain control algorithm is
not able to initialize correctly.

Default severity
Major

Alarm type
equipmentAlarm

Root cause
Cabling problem or hardware failure.

System impact
Radio output power variance is to be expected. The transmit spectrum may break
mask.

Automatic corrective actions

If the Radio gain control algorithm failed to initialize correctly during startup, it falls
back to local loop and remains in this mode, until the Radio is reset
If attenuation is not available, attenuation adjustment stops.

Before you begin

No additional information is required before you begin this procedure.

Manual corrective actions

Perform the following steps to clear the alarm:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 At the OMC-UPS, check for internalGainFailure alarm of the Radio and perform the

available – external adjustment by a large amount due to a fault
fault” external to the Radio. Go to step 14.
CAI=0XA: “attenuation not indicates that the attenuators have run out of
available – unknown fault” adjustment by a large amount due to an unknown
fault. First run the fault clearance procedure for the
“attenuation not available – external fault” and if

Purpose
This topic provides the procedure for clearing the TDU_criticalVoltageFailure alarm.

Description
This error condition effects an internally generated DC voltage. The Test and
Diagnostic Unit (TDU) can detect the voltage of the 9.1V converter and raises an
alarm if it is too low or high. There is also a 3.3V converter in series with the 9.1V
converter so if the voltage drops too much, then the system will lose the 3.3V
converter.

Default severity
Critical

Alarm type

Report the alarm

When a fault occurs in an RNC hardware or software unit, the fault is reported to the
Fault Management (FM) software in the RNC.
After receiving this fault indication the FM software reports the appropriate alarm to
the FIMS-UT and/or the OMC.

Corrective maintenance - RNC alarm clearance RNC fault recovery actions
procedures

Possible alarm recovery actions

If a standby unit is available, a switch-over is performed to this unit to guarantee that
the RNC remains operational.
Depending on the seriousness of the fault and the type of unit on which the fault has
been reported, the FM software can take the following actions when a fault occurs:
• Automatically reinitialize the unit
• Isolate the unit and request for manual intervention.

Automatically reinitialize
If the unit supports an automatic reinitialization, one or more of the following
reinitialization actions can be performed:
• Restart one or more software processes
• Reboot the software
• Reset the complete unit.
Note: If the automatic reinitialization fails, this action is repeated until the
reinitialization threshold has been exceeded. When the threshold is exceeded and the
fault is not corrected, the unit will be isolated.

Isolate unit
If the unit does not support an automatic recovery action, the unit can be put into an
isolated state. When the unit is in this state it cannot be used by any of the other units.

Perform fault clearance procedure

The operator must perform the fault clearance procedures for the unit when:
• The unit does not support an automatic reinitialization
• The fault was not severe enough to reinitialize the unit
• The unit is moved into the isolated state.

Clearing ADAC alarms

When an alarm with a nature of ADAC (Automatically Detected Automatically
Cleared) is solved, an alarm clear message is forwarded to the FIMS-UT and/or the
OMC to remove the alarm from the active alarm list.

Clearing ADMC alarms

When an alarm with a nature of ADMC (Automatically Detected Manual Cleared) is
solved, the alarm remains on the active alarm list on the FIMS-UT and/or the OMC
until the FIMS-UT or OMC operator manually clears the alarm.

Autonomous recovery actions taken by the RNC

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
This topic describes the autonomous actions that are taken by the RNC whenever the
RNC is internally reset.

Autonomous recovery
When a severe fault occurs, the RNC will autonomously reset itself.

RNC status during autonomous recovery

When a RNC is reset, the OMC loses communication with the RNC.
During the reset, the OMC should generate an alarm indicating a loss of
communication, or a heartbeat failure for that RNC. This alarm should exist until the
RNC completes the reset and re-registers with the OMC.

Reasons autonomous recovery

The following list indicates the different events that can cause the RNC to perform an
autonomous recovery action:
• Failing software in the CPSB platform.

Autonomous recovery actions

The following actions are taken after a severe fault has been detected in the URC:

Action Result Expected

recovery time
The RNC will be reset The RNC will not be operational and < 5 min1
using a reset Type 1 capable of performing call processing
functions until it returns to the
operational state. At the moment of
the reset all stable calls will be
dropped.

Notes:
1. If the RNC software restarted successfully.

RNC hardware replacement procedures

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

RNC hardware replacement

If hardware must be replaced, the fault clearance procedure lists the following steps:
1. Lock <object-name>
2. Replace <hardware>
3. Unlock <object-name>.
These fault clearance procedure steps are not intended as an exact step-by-step
procedure, but only as an high level overview.
The exact steps in the procedure to replace hardware are described in “Fault
Management”, chapter “Corrective maintenance - fault correction” of the OAM manual
for the related network element.
The chapter describes the detailed step-by-step procedures and includes additional
information, such as safety warnings and required tools.

Related RNC OAM manuals

Description
CRNC detects that it was not possible to set up E-DCH services in the cell.

Default severity
Major

Alarm type
equipmentAlarm

Root cause
A request to configure E-DCH resources in the cell has failed. This failure can be due
to any of the following reasons:
• E-DCH functionality is switched off at the RNC level.
• NodeB does not support E-DCH services.
• RNC is unable to reserve the channelisation codes required for E-DCH downlink
channels.
• A Physical Shared Channel Reconfiguration Failure message or no response was
received from the NodeB in response to a request to configure E-DCH services.
It is recommended to delete the EDCH managed object as channelization codes could
have been allocated and they should be freed and made available for R99 calls.

System impact
E-DCH calls cannot be made on the affected cell, non E-DCH calls are still possible.

GICCProc_standbyMateDown
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This topic provides the procedure for clearing the GICCProc_standbyMateDown alarm.

Description
Standby services on the associated mate Gateway Intelligent Carrier Card (GICC) may
be unavailable or degraded.
This alarm indicates that one of three conditions likely occurred:
1. All optical links on the mated GICC are failed or unavailable.
An indication that this may have occurred would be individual alarms on each of
the 4 OC3 ports on the other GICC, as well as an ’allOpticalLinksFailed’ alarm on
the other GICCProc.
2. The processor or card itself on the associated mated GICC may have failed.
An indication that this may have occurred would be one or more alarms on the
other GICC or GICCProc.
3. The GICCProc upon which this alarm was raised has lost communication with it’s
associated mated GICCProc. The other GICCProc may be fully operational or
failed in this case, however since the local GICCProc cannot heartbeat with it’s
standby mate GICCProc this alarm will be raised.
If no individual alarms are seen on the associated mate GICC or GICCProc then
this may be a communication problem and the standby services may very well be
still available, though it is highly advisable to troubleshoot this issue to the point
where this alarm becomes cleared.

Default severity

procedures

Before you begin

No additional information is required before you begin this procedure.

Manual corrective actions

Perform the following steps to clear the alarm.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 At the OMC-UPS, check the status of the OC3 ports on the associated mate GICC. If
all 4 OC3 ports are alarmed and / or failed then this ’standbyMateDown’ will be raised
on the local GICCProc. Check also for an ’allOpticalLinksFailed’ alarm on the mated
GICCProc. This can also cause the current alarm This implies that no standby OC3
ports are available if one of the local ports fail.
Check the PSAX and network to see if the port failure is external. If no external cause
can be found proceed to step 2.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 At the OMC-UPS, check the status of the associated mate GICC processor and the
mate GICC board itself. Also check if the mated GICC is locked. Check for alarms or
states that indicate problems with the board or processor and replace if necessary. If no
problem can be found on the mate board or processor proceed to step 3.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 At the OMC-UPS, check the status of local RNC communications, - e.g. look for ESC
and EthernetPort alarms that might effect GICC communications. If no local
communications problem can be found proceed to step 4.
