User Interface Overview

Workspace

Measurements tab in workspace is divided to three sections: Folders

All measurements folder in the workspace shows all files currently in the database Other user-defined folders where files can be grouped automatically, e.g., All files from certain operator, All files from UMTS List of all measurements in the folder selected in the Folders section Shows all available parameters and KPIs for the selected file, measurement, or folder, depending on the selection in Folders and Folder contents sections

Folder contents

Parameter tree

KPIs can be displayed in graph, map, etc., or statistics can be calculated from the parameter tree Visible tab in the workspace can be changed from the bottom Tabs: Measurements Base stations Maps Data source files Reports

Loading files into Nemo Analyze

Select File | Open | Measurement/BTS/Map/Report or click the Open Measurement button

Measurement files and BTS files are loaded in the database

Maps and report templates are loaded in the workspace

Note that all the files uploaded into the database need to have unique file names

The added files will appear in the workspace view in the left-hand side of the Nemo Analyze main window

Organize measurements

By default, all added measurement files go into the All Measurements folder Measurement files can be further grouped to folders 3 different folder types: Drag-and-drop folder

User can manually drag-and-drop the files to the folder User sets a criteria, based on which the measurement files are automatically added to the folder Folder contents is updated automatically when new files are added to the DB E.g. all files from last week, all files from UMTS, all files from certain operator

Search folder

Query folder

Files to the folder are filtered based on user-defined SQL query E.g. all files with dropped RRC connections

Organizing Measurements -Drag&Drop Folder

Right click on Measurement, Add Folder/Drag & Drop

Create a new folder, input folder name.

Drag & Drop measurement file into new folder

Removing Files from Drag&Drop Folder

Click on Measurement, Right click, Remove from Folder

Organizing Measurements -Intelligent Folder

Right click on Measurement, Add Folder/Query

Once the query is defined, Nemo Analyze will go through the measurement files in the database and automatically add all relevant files to the query folder.

Predefined queries or custom queries can be used to define the folder.

Organizing Measurements -Intelligent Folder

Joined Measurement

With Nemo Analyze it is possible to join separate measurement files into a joined measurement. Joined measurements will be handled as one measurement file. Note that you cannot join overlapping measurement files. Files must have been recorded at different times. Right-click on All Measurements and select Add Joined Measurement The joined measurement appears in the Workspace and you can now drag & drop measurement files in it. Joined measurements are identified with a symbol.

Joined Measurement

Joined Measurement

15thSep2005 will be treated as a single measurement. Drag & Drop measurement files to joined measurement folder created.

Organize measurements

Right-click on All measurements folder Organize.. In the Organize Measurements dialog you can conveniently handle and organize large sets of measurement files In the Organize Measurements dialog you can create new folders, make joined measurements, and remove files from drag & drop folders. Right-click in the left-hand panel to create new folders.

Network performance report, KPIs on:

GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, CDMA, TDMA, TETRA

Statistical reporting

Reports can be run over single file or multiple files Inside the selected measurement files, data to be reported can be filtered further on based on: Time frame System Band Area Combination of above attributes For example: Report from all measurements from last week in the DB, from WCDMA in city X Reports can be configured: KPIs to be included Range and binning step for the cumulation and density histograms Threshold and threshold condition (e.g. percentage of RSCP samples <= -95dBm)

Statistical reporting

2.

Right-click on measurement file or folder Report Select report template

Report can be exported to pdf, .doc, .xls, etc..

GENERATING REPORTS FROM MULTIPLE FILES

Rightclick on the multi measurement file name or on the folder and select Report and the report template. In the Report Scope dialog you can define what kind of data will be included in the report. After making all the selections, click OK and the report is generated.

System and Band define from which cellular systems and frequency data will be included in the report. Begin time and End time define the time period from which data is included in the report. Area defines the geographical area from which data is included in the report.

UI Statistics

In addition to report templates, it is possible to quickly run statistics over single parameter directly from UI Right-click on a parameter Statistics Statistics can be run based on time or distance Statistics can be fetched from single file, or over a folder with multiple files Benchmarking is easy: statistics from different files or folders can be dragand-dropped in the same graph

Troubleshooting and Optimization

Problems caused by bad quality pinpointed automatically, e.g.: Low Ec/No Low RSCP High BLER High UL TX power High DL TX power Results shown in the following formats: Timeline Grid Map Workbooks, graphs, grids, map displays, etc. synchronized to each other In the parameter tree there is Troubleshooting branch showing available troubleshooting KPIs

Troubleshooting

Right-click on log file or folder

UMTS UMTS Troubleshooting (or GSM)

User-Defined SQL Queries

User can write SQL query, show the results in graph, and add the custom query to menu as a new parameter DB schema is provided along with the software The database has an open ODBC interface Any third party SQL DB tool can be used to fetch data from the DB

Adding Custom Queries to Analyze UI

Manual Query

Own queries can be added from query manager 1. Query manager -- > add manual query 2. Give name to the query 3. Select Edit SQL manually checkbox 4. Type the query in 5. Set aliases for different graphs, i.e. what column will be in x-axis, what will be in yaxis, etc. 6. When finished, the query is available in the User branch in the parameter tree in Analyze workspace.

Adding Custom Queries to Analyze UI Query Wizard

Simple queries can be done with query wizard Joins are made automatically between tables that have relationships Time-based correlation is not done If two selected tables dont have relation, result set will be Cartesian product of the tables!

Step-by-step procedure:

Select tables from where data is get Select columns to be displayed from the table(s) Select column for ordering the results, if time based ordering is not sufficient Set filtering conditions for results

Define aliases between controls and result columns (which columns will be x and which will be y in graph etc.)
