Configuration data import and export: This applies to configuration data sharing between Assistants of the same version to facilitate c
onfiguration data transfer among project members.
Overwritten import: This function is designed to modify KPIs. If you choose Full, the system overwrites the existing data during data i
mport. If you choose Custom, you can select whether to overwrite the existing data during data import, as shown in the preceding fig
ure.
Non-overwritten import: In this mode, new KPIs are imported and existing KPIs remain unchanged. Therefore, original KPIs in the sys
tem are kept and only new KPIs are added.
After a KPI template is imported in an existing project, the template takes effect only after you analyze the old data of the project.
Data Binning Types
You can select the data binning type according to the act
ual situations. By binning data, the impacts of fast fading
can be significantly reduced. Currently, Assistant supports
four data binning types: no binning, time binning, distance
binning, and grid binning.
No binning
The analysis is based on the original test data. It is ap
plicable to synchronous analysis of events and signali
ng.
Benefit: Every event or IE can be located and analyze
d in detail.
Defect: A great deal of data needs to be imported.
No binning
Time Binning
Time binning
The test vehicle is stable, and no GPS service is availabl
e at the test points.
Benefit
1. This data binning type is applicable to the test of stabl
e speed.
2. Divide a continuous period by fixed time interval, colle
ct the maximum and minimum values, and analyze the s
pecial KPIs.
3. The test can be efficiently performed.
Defect
1s
If the speed of the test vehicle is not stable, the time inte
rvals are not consistent.
Example
Fast
Test data with the time interval of 1s.
Slow
Distance Binning
Distance binning
This binning type is commonly used in drive test analysis t
o locate coverage problems.
Benefits
1. Avoids the congestion of sampling points due to long st
op, such as the stop due to a red traffic light.
2. The test can be efficiently performed.
Defect
5m
This binning type is not applicable to indoor tests or fixed
point tests.
Example
Test data with the distance binning interval of 5 m (ensure
that the vehicle speed is not fast)
Grid Binning
Benefits
1. Avoids the congestion of sampling point
s due to long stop, such as the stop due to
a red traffic light.
2. Ensures test efficiency.
3. Tolerates the GPS offset.
Defects
5mx5m
1. This binning type is not applicable to ind
oor tests or fixed point tests.
2. The grid size is limited.

You can customize KPIs if the predefined KPIs cannot meet your requirements. You
can combine predefined KPIs, events, or IEs together to form new KPIs.
You can filter and modify KPIs to selectively view and manage a large number of KP
Is. You can also export all KPIs and directly import them later when necessary.

Customizing KPI-Counting KPIs
You can customize two types of KPIs in the software. One is the counter KPI which records the times that an event happ
ens and is logically simple. The other is the calculation KPI which is used to obtain a result based on certain algorithms.
For example, for "average call setup delay", you must create two counter KPIs, which are the total call setup delay and t
he number of calls. You can obtain the average call setup delay by dividing the total call setup delay by the number of ca
lls.
Customizing KPI-Calculation KPIs
Calculation KPI: You can use calculation KPIs or available functions in the system to calculate the result of, for example,
the call drop rate shown in the preceding figure, according to a specific data expression. Available functions are Averag
e, Count, Max, Min, and Sum, for example, KPI(Call Drop Rate) = Count(EVENT(GSMCallDropped)) / (Count(EVENT(G
SMIncomingCallSetup)) + Count(EVENT(GSMOutgoingCallSetup)))*100.
Customizing KPI-KPI Attributes
KPI attribute
Data Type: indicates the type of a KPI, such as floating point, integer, or character.
Initial Value: indicates the initial value of a KPI.
Visible: indicates whether to display a KPI. You can set certain intermediate KPIs to False if necessary.
Data Source: indicates whether a KPI is calculated after binning or based on the raw data. If you want to obtain
an original collection point, you can set this parameter to Original Data. Otherwise, you can set this parameter t
o Binning.
Customizing KPI-MOS Average
Mos Avg: The Average function is used to define this KPI.

Function description:
Average: takes the average.
Count: takes the sum of sampling points.
Max: takes the maximum value.
Min: takes the minimum value.
Sum: takes the sum.
Customizing KPI-BLER > 1%
Step 1. Customize a counter KPI, Counter (BLER>1%), and calculate the number of sampling points where the BLER v
alue is larger than 1%. For the related expression, see the preceding figure.
Step 2. Customize a calculation KPI, BLER Percentage(>1%). For the related expression, see the preceding figure. In t
he expression, the denominator is the number of sampling points and the numerator is Counter (BLER>1%).

Indicates the downlink interference of the BCCH. The identification condition is as follows:
Check the C/I value corresponding to the BCCH frequency.
GSM DL Interference
Indicates the downlink interference of the TCH. The identification conditions are as follows
:
RxLev_Sub >= -85dBm, Rxqual_Sub >= 7
When any of the preceding conditions are meet, the downlink interference of the TCH occurs.
GSM Island

Indicates the island effect. The identification condition is as follows: TA >= 2 and Rxlev Sub > -80.00dBm
GSM Poor Coverage
Indicates poor GSM coverage. The identification condition is as follows: Rxlev (Idle + Sub) < -90dBm
Predefined WCDMA IEs
WCDMA Poor Coverage
When the value of RSCP For 1st Best In Active Set is smaller than -95dBm, poor covera
ge occurs.
WCDMA DL Interference
When any of the following conditions is met, downlink interference occurs.
Ec/Io For 1st Best In Active Set < -10dBm
RSCP For 1st Best In Active Set >= -95dBm
WCDMA Pilot Pollution
The conditions for identifying pilot pollution are as follows:
The quantity of the pilots whose strength is larger than or equal to -95 dBm is larger th
an or equal to 4, and the differences between the strongest pilot and other pilots are s
maller than 5 dBm.
Predefined LTE IEs
LTE Pilot Pollution

The sampling points of pilot pollution must meet the following conditions: The quantity of the pilots whose
strength is larger than or equal to -100 dBm is larger than or equal to 4, and the differences between the
strongest pilot and other pilots is smaller than 4 dBm.
Serving RSRP 1st Neighbor RSRP

Indicates the difference between the serving cell and the neighboring cell. It is applicable in the following
scenarios:
Statistics on handovers: Intra-frequency handover depends on the difference between the pilot stre
ngth of the serving cell and that of the neighboring cell. When the difference is larger than a certain
threshold and smaller than a certain threshold, intra-frequency handover occurs. Assistant collects s
tatistics on handovers based on the difference.
Statistics on handover exceptions: Assistant collects statistics on handover exceptions by checking
whether the difference between the signal strength of the serving cell and that of the neighboring cel
l is smaller than a certain threshold.

LTE Over Coverage Analysis
Over coverage refers that the actual coverage of a cell exceeds the planned one and becomes a discontinuous servi
ng cell in the area covered by other eNodeBs. Assistant can calculate the radius of a cell based on the engineering p
arameter data. If the distance between a drive test point and the cell center exceeds the radius of the cell and the diff
erence between the RSRP value of the serving cell and that of the strongest neighboring cell is smaller than the confi
gured one, the drive test point is affected by over coverage. Currently, Assistant supports only data analysis.
LTE No Serving Cell Dominance
If no serving cell exists or handovers too frequently occur in a region, the service
quality is affected, and call drops frequently occur. Assistant identifies whether a
region has a serving cell by checking whether the difference between the RSRP value
(in the data reported by a UE or scanner) of the serving cell and that of the
neighboring cell is smaller than a threshold.
WCDMA Over Coverage Analysis
Over coverage refers that the actual coverage of a cell exceeds the planned one and becomes a discontinuous serving cell in the area cover
ed by other NodeBs. Assistant can calculate the radius of a cell based on the engineering parameter data. If the distance between a drive te
st point and the cell center exceeds the radius of the cell and the difference between the RSCP value of the serving cell and that of the stron
gest neighboring cell is smaller than the configured one, the drive test point is affected by over coverage. Currently, Assistant can analyze th
e data reported by both UEs and scanners.
WCDMA No Serving Cell Dominance
If no serving cell exists or handovers too frequently occur in a region, the service quality is affected, and call
drops frequently occur. Assistant identifies whether a region has a serving cell by checking whether the diffe
rence between the RSCP value (in the data reported by a UE or scanner) of the serving cell and that of the
neighboring cell is smaller than a threshold or whether handovers too frequently occur in the region (based
on the data reported by UEs only). If the quantity of handovers that occur within a period exceeds the prese
t threshold, the region has no serving cell.
WCDMA Downlink Interference
An interference source exists on the downlink band of the mobile network. When a UE receive
s the interference signal, the UE cannot identify normal NodeB signals. As a result, the connec
tion between the UE and the NodeB is affected, and call drop occurs. Assistant checks the EC
/IO and RSCP values of the serving cell by parsing the data reported by the UE or scanner. If t
he RSCP value is high but the EC/IO value is low, the UE is affected by downlink interference.
WCDMA Intra-Frequency/Inter-Frequency Ne
ighboring Cell Analysis
Assistant can analyze missing intra-frequency/inter-frequency neighboring cells. Assistant aut

omatically checks the relationship between the serving cell and neighboring cell at each sampl
ing point, compares the live network data with the imported engineering parameter data, and i
dentifies the missing neighboring cells. Only the data reported by scanners is supported. The
data of the existing neighboring cells must be imported before the analysis.
WCDMA Pilot Pollution Analysis
When many strong pilots exist at a sampling point but no pilot is strong enough to act as the s
erving pilot, the sampling point is considered as pilot-polluted. Assistant can check whether th
e serving cell and the measured cell are neighboring cells and find out the pollution point by a
nalyzing the drive test data reported by the UE and scanner.
GSM Over Coverage Analysis
Over coverage refers that the actual coverage of a cell exceeds the planned scope and becomes a di
scontinuous serving cell in the area covered by other BTSs. Assistant can calculate the radius of a cel
l based on the engineering parameter data. If the distance between the cell center and the drive test
point exceeds the cell radius, the drive test point is affected by over coverage.
GSM Poor Coverage Analysis
Poor coverage refers that the signal within the coverage of a cell is lower than the minimum ac
cess threshold of MSs. In this case, MSs cannot camp on the cell or initiate location update or
registration. As a result, disconnection occurs. Assistant can analyze the level of the serving c
ell and check whether a cell is affected by poor coverage based on the GSM MS measuremen
t data. For details about the parameters, see the notes.
GSM Azimuth Garbled
Garbled azimuth refers that the azimuth of an RET antenna is incorrect. Garbled a
zimuth affects the coverage. Assistant checks whether the azimuth configuration is
correct at a drive test point by checking the angle between the drive test point and t
he serving cell based on the GSM MS measurement data.
GSM No Serving Cell Dominance
If no serving cell exists or handovers too frequently occur in a region, the service quality is affe
cted, and call drops frequently occur. Assistant checks whether a region has a serving cell by
checking whether the difference between the Rxlev value (in the data reported by a UE or sca
nner) of the serving cell and that of the neighboring cell is smaller than the preset threshold. If
the difference is smaller than the preset threshold, the region has no serving cell.
