WiMAX troubleshooting principle

Firstly, Find out which NE have the trouble. (the

main NE include MS,RRU,BBU,AGW,AAA)

Software fault: the wrong version, configuration data error, etc.

Hardware fault : the broken board, etc. Installation quality : FE cable, fiber, feeder cable, etc.

Alarm management 2-1

The Alarm Management is used to help operation & maintenance personnel locate faults and recover them partly as soon as possible. Alarm management show the active alarm, clear alarm and notification.

<#>

Alarm management 2-2

Alarm management show the active alarm, clear alarm and notification.

<#>

Appeed information 2-1

Double clip the active alarm, it show the append information, useful for RRU troubleshooting.

<#>

Appeed information 2-2

LinkStatusshow the RRU & MPXM link status, if link broken, PA could be closed. R6Status show the R6 link status, if link broken ,PA could be closed. 10MLock10M clock status. When RRU is in starting status, clock is unlocked. PA could be closed. GPSStatuswhen GPS is out of service , PA could be closed. PACmd[0]show PA Tx0 is manual closed. PACmd[1]show PA Tx1 is manual closed.

<#>

Operation 2-1

Reset the board & subsystem

10

<#>

Operation 2-2

Enable/Disable the PA

System tools

Useful tools in OMC.

13

<#>

Service Analysis

Service analysis include the signaling trace, access, service flow, release, hand off.

14

<#>

RF Analysis

Main function is RF control and Spectrum scan

Check the RRU Tx preamble power in RF control. check

Check the interference in Spectrum scan.

15

<#>

Radio test

Main function is Terminal monitor.

It show the signal quality, modulation code, PC, HARQ, etc.

16

<#>

System Info

Main function is Running Info .

Board CSIM, MPIM, WBPM, MPXM, WPTR Subsystem OSS, DBS, SPS, OAM, CCS, BB, CBS

Check system running check message.

17

<#>

Probe
Check data record saved in the board. check Check segment, terminal MAC address, QoS, service flow record in MPIM board. Check the AGW route in MPXM.

QoS Service TypeUGS-0RTVR-1NRTVR-2BE-3ERTVR-4.

Version management 3-1

The version upgrade flow.

Version management 3-2

Key word:

version package Xml file to record the version list

20

<#>

Version management 3-3

Key word: auto check version

21

<#>

Diagnose management 2-1

Diagnose the board running status. Check the CPU usage

Signal trace - SBC

ucFailInd=34means Unknown BSID . AGW BSID isnt the same as BS.

25

<#>

SBC Fail

R6 link (BS <--> AGW)

MPXM IP R6 signal IP Static router

Check the operator ID and AGW BSID

26

<#>

Signal trace - PKM

Authentication UcAuthResult=0 means auth success. ucAuthResult=1 means auth fail.

27

<#>

PKM fail

Check the use and password in AAA Check whether the AAA rejectbAuthResult=1 Check the NSP in AGW Check the terminal authentication type (TTLS or TLS) Check whether the certification expire Check the signal (bad signal lead to packet lost)

As the same time u need to check whether just one terminal authentication fail.

28

<#>

Signal trace - admission

Admission, BE user no need to admission. dwCause=0 means admission success.

29

<#>

Signal trace - DSA

DSA flow ucConfirmCode=0 means DSA success.

dwCause0

30

<#>

Admission & DSA fail

Check QoS profile in AAA Check the modulation code in terminal Admission control (ERTPS, UGS, RTPS)

31

<#>

Signal trace - Release

1---DROPOFF_RLS; 2---EXCEP_RLS; 3---POWEROFF_RLS4--IDLE_RLSIdle; 5---HANDSHAKE_RLS; 6---AGW_EXCEP_RLS7--HHODROP_RLS

Case1: VSWR

The pa is abnormal.

Case 2: GPS

GPS antenna feeder.

Case 3: FTP low speed

check user profile from the AAA check the segment channel bitmapuser all subchannel or not. check whether the service flow is the same as configuration or not. check the signal from terminal monitor. check the switch port duplex mode. check the transmission capability. Check the FTP server and FE cable.
