Functionality areas of NetAct
Functionality area
Optimizer target is to provide GSM/GPRS/WCDMA functionality for
maximising NW capacity utilisation rate
optimising the service performance with minimum manual effort
The application combines means for NW analysis and optimisation:
Geographical NW visualisation and analysis
Actual and planned configuration on a map
Performance measurements with elements from GSM and WCDMA
networks
Manual optimisation
GIS based adjacency management
Browser based parameter management
Synchronised with CM Editor
Automated optimisation
Seamless integration with
optimisation solutions

Interworking with RAC and Reporter
Optimizer obtains the actual or planned GSM configuration data
from Radio Access Developer part of RAC
Actual: e.g. frequency allocation
Planned: e.g. adjacencies for new BTSs
Performance statistics are retrieved from Reporter
Internal access to PM database
Selected set of KPIs for optimisation needs
The same KPIs as in Reporter
Optimizer combines the selected CM & PM information
together with optimisation specific data
User input for guiding the algorithms
optimisation targets
User specific map and browser view customisation
optimisation results are stored as plans in RAC DB
Common RAC functionality for plan management and provisioning

Configuration data for Optimizer 1.1
KPIs from PM database
Reporter collects the data from network and stores the counters
Dedicated KPIs provided in Reporter for different purposes
Optimizer Report defined containing KPIs needed for optimisation
KPIs are calculated based on scripts defined in Report Builder

Selected KPIs from yesterday and last week are copied automatically to
Optimizer database over night
Fixed set of GSM, GPRS and WCMDA RAN KPIs
Common KPI formula in all Reports and Optimizer keeps the
consistency

Interference measurement data as an exception
CF and DAC measurements are activated in BSC only when needed
Results are retrieved from PM database to Optimizer by request via a
separate interface (IM creation)
Possible to provide the data also from an external tool (IM import)
Why Mobile Measurement Based Optimisation
Features?
In most of the planning tools the radio environment (interference
matrix etc) is estimated with predictions
Predictions can be made quite accurate if all models are very
accurate and tuned
Propagation model, map data, antenna model
Optimizer uses predictions mainly for visualisation and
analysis. The decisions are made based on measurements
However the best accuracy and the best coverage of the
measurements can be done with Mobile Measurements
Coverage: the interference data is reported where the
mobiles really are
Standard MMRs (Mobile Measurement Reports) are used

Plan with Optimizer
Concept and purpose of BA List
Obtain the exiting BA-list (e.g. using Network Doctor) to
investigate how the adjacencies are defined for each serving cell.
*)
The existing BA lists contain only the BCCHs of the defined
adjacency cells.
The reason for creating new BCCH Allocation lists is to retrieve
also measurement data from surrounding cells which are not
defined as adjacency cells.
These new defined BA lists are used only during the Measuring
period and should be removed after the measurements are
completed.
A new BA list can be created using MML or CM Editor (plan
based).

*)Note: This is only important if the total amount of used BCCHs
in the NW to be optimized exceeds 32. If less than 32 BCCHs
are used then there is no need for this process step
