    2. Area analysis

    Area analyses are designed to visualize measurements and network conditions and to aid in theidentification of problem areas. There are two different types of area analyses depending on thecollection device: phone-based and scanner-based. The dialog for each area analysis has one Generaltab. The Generaltab contains common parameters used in all area analyses.

    The Generaltab has the following configuration parameters:

    Report name specifies the report name. This name is used as a prefix for all maps and tablescreated by the analysis.

    Data selection specifies following parameters:o File type specifies the type of data source. There are two possible file types: Original

    and Merged (dynamically). Original files refer to data converted by the File converterutility. Merged (dynamically) refers to files created using the Dynamic merge utility.

    o File specifies the devices to be analyzed (one or several devices can be selected foranalysis at the same time).

    o Workspace specifies the name of the workspace that will be used to store the results.If a nonexistent workspace is specified, the analysis will automatically create the newworkspace using the specified name.

    Input parameters contains generic parameters used by the analysis, such as Systems andVectors.

    The parameter values can be saved by clicking Save valuesor loaded from a previously saved file byclicking Load values.

    Typical area analysis configuration window is presented in Figure 2.

    Export maps creates map in a bitmap format in a directory path given by the last field.

    Analysis resultsThe analysis generates a table, map (optionally), and a report using either the Gladiator Worksheet utilityor MS Excel. The report and map will be named based on the specified Report name.

    The table contains following columns: Fileld, Time, Sequence No, Latitude, Longitude, Cell Id, BSIC,BCCH, LAC, MNC, MCC, Rxlev (Full), RxLev (Sub), RxQual (Full), RxQual (Sub), Tx Power, AggregateC/I, FER, Timing Advance, N1RxLev, N2RxLev, DTX, and Hopping Flag.

    The map displays RxLev (Full), RxLev (Sub), RxQual (Full), RxQual (Sub), Tx Power, Aggregate C/I,FER, Timing Advance, N1RxLev, N2RxLev, DTX, and Hopping Flag as aggregate values for all selectedphones. The RxLev (Full) is presented on the map by default; all others should be selected to be visible.

    The report contains a statistics sheet for each of the following: RxLevel, RxQual, TxPower, AggregateC_I, FER, Timing Advance, Neighbor, DTX, and Frequency hopping.

    RxLevel, RxQual, TxPower, Aggregate C_I, FER, Timing Advance, and Neighbor sheets contain theminimum, maximum, average, standard deviation, value at percentile, and percentile at value and a tableand histogram view for the specified ranges.

    DTX and Frequency hopping sheets contain a histogram table and graph.

    Example reports generated by the GRP_RF analysis are presented in Figure 19.

    4.1.8. GRP_VoiceCall

    The GRP_VoiceCallis a GSM phone-based report that generates statistics of voice calls.

    Analysis resultsThe analysis generates a result tables and a report.

    The table will be table is saved with '_VCA appended to the name. The table contains following columns:FileId, sequence no, Time, Latitude, Longitude, Call Number, Event, Release Cause, Setup Time, CallDuration, CellId, Min RxLev(F), Min RxLev(S), Worst RxQual(F), Worst RxQual(S), Min RLT, Max TxPower, Max FER, Min C/I, and Mode.

    The report can be generated in the Gladiator Worksheet utility and MS Excel (optionally). The report willbe named based on the specified Report name. The report contains sheets for each of the following:Voice call, Event table, Call setup, and Release cause. The Voice call contains summary statistics forfollowing events: total call attempts, connected calls, good calls, dropped calls, blocked calls, and noservice. For each of the events, the total count and percentage relative to total call attempts arecalculated. For each event, following parameters are presented: FileID, Sequence No, Time, Latitude,Longitude, Call Number, Event, Release cause, Call setup Time (ms), Call duration (s), CellId, Min

    Rxlevel (full), Min Rxlevel (sub), Worst RxQual (full), RxQual (sub), Min RLC, Max Tx power, Max FER,Min C/I and Mode. For Call setup, min, max, average, standard deviation and a table and histogram viewfor the specified ranges are presented. The Release cause sheet presents call release cause and itstotal number.

    An example report generated by the GRP_VoiceCall analysis is presented in Figure 20.
