1.1 Overview

The GENEX Assistant is the professional background processing software for wireless test data. It supports the following wireless network technologies:

z GSM/GPRS/EDGE

z WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA

The Assistant optimizes and handles test data such as drive test (DT) data and RNC data related to the air interface on a wireless network and exports analysis reports. The Assistant benefits network planning and optimizing engineers in the following ways:

z Thoroughly understanding network performance

z Quickly and effectively analyzing network problems

z _{Improving working efficiency}

The Assistant provides the following features:

z Quickly and effectively obtaining the information about the quality of the entire network

z Reducing test workload incurred by network adjustment

z Providing thorough and useful information about problem locating and optimization analysis

z Providing sharable analysis, which reduces the requirements for optimization skills of engineers

1.2 Functions

Table 1-1 lists the main functions provided by the Assistant.

Table 1-1 Functions of the Assistant

Function Description

Supporting the import of multiple test data

z The Assistant analyzes the test data collected on WCDMA and GSM networks.

z The Assistant supports the data collected from the following test devices: GENEX Probe, Qualcomm test UE, Huawei test UE, Huawei RNC, DTI scanner, Anritsu scanner, Probe Handset Unit (PHU). The Assistant also supports the import of TXT data. The Assistant provides preferable display and analysis for test indicators.

z The Assistant supports multiple expanded types of DT data. For a new type of device, you need to update only the associated file.

(25)

Function Description

Supporting multiple modes of data display

z The data display modes are as follows: Geographic display, curve chart, customized coordinates chart, Probability Distribution Function (PDF) chart, and data table. You can perform common operations such as moving or deleting operation on each chart.

z The Assistant supports synchronization display of data in multiple windows. That is, the data in each window is dynamically displayed based on the time for selecting data in the main window. It supports synchronization display of data in all e-maps, charts, sheets, and signaling events.

Supporting multiple modes of data export

z The Assistant can export data in .bmp, jpg, gif, png, .txt, or .xls format. z Word collector: Using the word collector, the Assistant exports the

browsed pictures and data tables to a specified file in .doc format. In this way, you need not copy and paste the pictures and tables. Automatically

generating analysis reports

The Assistant automatically generates analysis reports such as drive test reports, WCDMA KPI reports, GSM reports, scanner reports, custom reports, and theme reports.

New features z Intelligent report system: The Assistant can automatically generate a DT summary report of WCDMA or GSM.

z Parsing the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) package: The Assistant can parse the PESQ packages of various marking mechanisms.

z High speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) statistical analysis: It represents current network performance, parameter configuration, rate statistics, channel decoding statistics, and service performance, obtains uplink packet access (UPA) events by parsing L3 signaling, and uses different display modes to display UPA events.

1.3 Operation Mode

The Assistant is a software used for post-processing, which can run without using any special hardware.

Correspondingly, the Probe is a foreground DT data collection software. It can collect signals through different devices such as scanner and UE. The Assistant imports the test data

collected by the Probe from different test devices for analysis.

1.4 Application Scenarios

The Assistant is used with the Probe in the following application scenarios:

z _{BTS performance verification}

z _{On the early stage of network construction, you need to test and evaluate the site}

verification.

(26)

1-4 _{Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.}Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Issue 06 (2009-06-20) On the stage of network operation and maintenance, the Assistant analyzes the drive test data and thus provides a reference for network performance evaluation.

z BTS fault location

During the network operation, the Assistant can locate network faults by analyzing the test data.
