Mission of PRC Generator module


4

5


Full integration in the GSM Tool chain with suited data exchange interfaces

• 9955 RNP is aligned with radio access releases:

Full support of radio features

Adaptation of interfaces

• Interface to GSM management applications:

9153 OMC-R (through the ACIE interface supported by PRC Generator module)

9959 NPO (through the COFF Interface supported by 9955 RNP main application and PRC generator module)

9955 RNP Overview Interface with Alcatel-Lucent 9153 OMC-R for GSM

6


• Connects the 9955 RNP tool to the 9153 OMC-R for GSM

Downloading and decoding operational logical cell design parameters from OMC to Planning Tool

Encoding and uploading planned/optimized logical configuration from Planning Tool to the OMC

Performs Consistency & Impact Checks on Planned and Operational Logical Configuration

• TRE-TRX mapping

• Support for Twin TRX, MC-TRX 900, MC-RRH 900, MC-TRX 1800, Antenna Hopping and Power Handling

• Support for the following BSS releases:

B9 MR1, B9 MR4, B10 MR1, B10 MR2, B11 MR1 Ed.01, B11 MR1 Ed.2, B11 MR 1 Ed.3, B11 MR3 Ed.01, B12.1, B12.2.

Main Features of PRC Generator module

9


• Downloading Operational Logical Configuration from Alcatel-Lucent 9153 OMC-R and transforming it into an easy-to-read ASCII format to start and optimization task using the 9955 RNP tool

Cell design logical parameters

Frequency Plan

Neighborhood Plan

Time Slot Allocation & Configuration

• Analysis of Operational Logical Configuration using statistics and cross-checks

Consistency checks on operational configuration to prepare OMC clean-up

Visualization of Logical Configuration using ‘OMC Viewer’

Statistical Evaluation Cell Parameters and HO Relations

PRC Generator Main Features OMC-R Data Processing

10


• Consistency Checks on Optimized Configuration coming from 9955 RNP tool in COF format

Cross-checks between planning data files

Statistics on planning data

Parameters checking

• Consistency Checks between optimized planning configuration and operational configuration

Cell identification is unique and clear

Same number of cells and TRXs etc

...

PRC Generator Main Features Planning Data Processing

11


• Report on expected impact of Planning on the Network

Number of LAC/CI changes

Number of frequency changes

Number of hopping mode swap operations

Number of HOs creation/deletion

Number of GPRS enable/disable operations

Number of created/deleted 2G External cells

Number of created/deleted 3G External cells

Number of impacted cells/BSCs

…

• Creation of ACIE file for the OMC-R with these changes for an automatic process of implementing the planning configuration in the OMC-R

PRC Generator Main Features Changes in the OMC-R

12


• Possibility to change non-COF parameters that are modifiable via the ACIE interface

• Different levels of granularity besides planning data:

Network wide default value

Cell class dependent value

Exceptional values (at cell, adjacencies, BSC level)

Thus offering a very powerful

automatic support for implementing

both planning and optimization

parameters in the GSM OMC-R

PRC Generator Main Features Massive Logical Parameter Changes

13


• Twin TRX, MC-TRX 900, MC-RRH 900 and MC-TRX 1800 hardware information is extracted by PRC Generator from dedicated export files from OMC-R

• Twin TRX, MC-TRX 900 configurations exported in COF files can be imported into 9955 RNP and used in planning activities.

• Dedicated checks to reveal the configuration of the TRXs in the network and detect if any changes are intended from planning

• Note:

TWIN TRX is available since B9 MR4 ED.07 BSS Release

MC-TRX 900 is available in B11 MR1 Ed.01, B11 MR1 Ed.2, B11 MR1 Ed.3, B11 MR3 Ed.1, B12.1 and B12.2 BSS Releases

MC-RRH 900, MC-RRH 1800, MC-TRX 1800 are available in B11 MR1 Ed.3, B11 MR3 Ed.1, B12.1 and B12.2 BSS Releases

PRC Generator Main Features Twin TRX, MC-TRX 900, MC-RRH 900 and MC-TRX 1800 support

14


• TRE-TRX mapping information is extracted by the tool from dedicated export files from OMC-R

• Dedicated checks to reveal the differences between the number of TRXs and frequencies in the network and in planning

PRC Generator Main Features TRE-TRX Mapping

15


• Support for all major Alcatel-Lucent GSM OMC-R BSS releases

B9 MR1, B9 MR4,

B10 MR1, B10 MR2,

B11 MR1 Ed.01, B11 MR1 Ed.2, B11 MR 1 Ed.3, B11 MR3 Ed.01,

B12.1, B12.2 (without VAMOS feature)

• Various useful features

Comparison of 2 sets of CSV files from the same network

Multi-OMC and sub-network scenarios supported

Export of results for the checks

Consistency check between selected interfaces and input files versions

Automatic logs to save the settings and progress of different activities

Import/export of settings like:

OMCs definition, cell classes and cell class parameters

custom ACIE Interfaces, configuration parameters

PRC Generator Main Features BSS Releases Support and Other Features
