1.2 Overview of WCDMA Networking
Figure 1-1 shows the WCDMA networking.2007-12-13 All rights reserved Page18 , Total220 In Figure 1-1, RNP&O engineers must pay more attention to RAN network side. RNC is connected to:
l NodeB through the lub interface
l MSC of core network through the lu-CS interface l SGSN of core network through the lu-PS interface
l Other RNCs through the lur interface so that RNCs exchange information with each other
l Cell broadcast center (CBC) through the lu-BC interface
Wherein, BSC6800 represents Huawei RNC model in the following chapters.
Different IP addresses are assigned for different WCDMA network and OM clients, so user names and passwords are different. Equipment room operators manage and distribute user names and passwords uniformly, so you must follow rules in equipment room in using user names and passwords.
1.3 Introduction
The document includes the operations in the equipment room for radio network planning and optimization engineers during the radio network optimization. It helps them analyze routine network optimization problems, such as call drop, handover, and pilot pollution. This document details operations related to the RNC, NodeB, and M2000, including tracing signaling of single subscriber under the RNC, MML command line, tracing signaling in both user plane and control plane, collecting and converting RTWP data, tracing real-time performance and cell performance. Different items are traced in different test tasks. The following section introduces the above-mentioned items by taking the equipment room of a site as an example.
There is an RNC and a core network, and an M2000 at the site. The following table lists the IP address, user name, and password of each NE:
Device IP Address Mask User Name Password
Before performing operations in the equipment room, you must identify IP address, user name, and password of each NE to avoid mistakes. For example, to telnet to NodeB, you must configure necessary routes.
& Note :
Generally, the IP address of the RNC is different from that of the NodeB. To maintain the NodeB remotely, you need to run the following commands to add a BAM route to RNC:
2007-12-13 All rights reserved Page19 , Total220 l For the RNC, run the command route add 12.11.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 10.238.23.95 - p. l For the M2000, run the command route add 12.11.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 10.238.23.84 - p. If the LMT is connected with a LAN switch of RNC, the next hop is RNC. If the LMT is connected with a LAN switch of M2000, the next hop is M2000. For details about route configuration, see documents related to the BSC6800.
1.4 Rules and Precautions in Equipment Room
For RNP&O engineers, follow related precautions as below:l Follow the time schedule and rules for engineer to enter and leave equipment room.
l Do not eat and drink in equipment room, and do not bring glasses into equipment room.
l Different OM clients use different user names and passwords in equipment room. Equipment room operators manage and distribute user names and passwords uniformly, so you must follow related rules when using them.
l Do not perform other operations except necessary RNP&O operations, such as board reset and system parameter modification.
l Equipment room operators must ensure usability of platform. For example, there is enough space on the server disk, and both sending RNO engineers tracing data files and deleting them on clients should be in time, otherwise, excessive data files on clients take up space.
l Do not privately create folders in the folder FTP on BAM server. For the convenience of management, the files are temporarily saved in FTP\logdata\ directory.
l Do not copy files directly from operation platforms with any storage medium, because there are more requirements on security of servers in equipment room. If you need upload script files and download operation result files onto your portable computers, you can only use network cable of internal maintenance network segment. For system security, uploading files to BAM server is prohibited without permission.
l In BSC6800 performance management system, if you need create a task, you need permission from equipment room operators. Otherwise, excessive tasks might affect RNC performance.
2 RNC OM System
2.1 Installing and Starting RNC
RNP&O engineers use BSC6800 at RNC side most frequently in equipment room, so they can install BSC6800 OM on the clients by default.
Caution:
l Select a proper software language (English or Chinese) and make sure that the version number (BSC6800V100R005C01B068 for example) is consistent with that of the equipment room.

The system has the function of memorizing IMSI ID automatically.
The following sections detail the operations.
2.2 Tracing Signaling at Standard Interfaces of BSC6800
Single Subscriber
2.2.1 Background
When locating problems, such as call drop, you need view signaling reported by the UE before call drop and analyze the signaling based on signaling recorded at RNC side. Provided with IMSI number, you can enable tracing signaling at standard interfaces of single subscriber under RNC.
2.2.2 Procedure
To trace signaling at standard interfaces of single subscriber, perform the following steps:
1) Double-click UE tracing (Standard Interface Message) in Maintenance Navigator. 2) Select All standard interface in the pop-up dialog box.
3) Type the IMSI number of UE to be traced in the IMSI text box.
& Note :
You report the last four digits of IMSI to equipment room operators, because the first 11 digits are the fixed. For example, an IMSI in a WCDMA network is "45419500000****". The first 11 digits vary in different WCDMA networks.
4) Select All standard interface during tracing signaling at standard interfaces of single subscriber or select Specify standard interface for tracing signaling at partial standard interfaces, and select one or more interfaces of lub interface, lu interface, Uu interface, and lur interface where the signaling must be traced from
Select standard interface message in the right.

2007-12-13 All rights reserved Page24 , Total220 5) Click Advanced. A dialog box Advanced for modifying parameters pops up. At this interface, you can modify the directory to save data, the maximum messages per window, flow control types, and message colour.
6) Click OK.Tracing starts. When the tracing is complete, stop tracing by shutting down the window. Or you can stop tracing by selecting Stop tracing in the menu. You must start and read the traced signalling by using the BSC6800 TraceViewer of the same version. Otherwise, an error occurs upon tracing the signalling file. The BSC6800 TraceViewer is integrated to LMT OM system of BSC6800, with the starting interface as shown in Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5 Starting TraceViewer
On RNCv1.7, to trace the signaling of a single UE on standard interfaces, perform the following steps:
1) Double-click UE (Standard Interface) in Maintenance.
2) Select All standard interface message in the pop-up dialog box. 3) Type the IMSI number of UE to be traced in the IMSI text box.
& Note :
Typically, you need to report the last four digits of IMSI to equipment room operators, because the first 11 digits are always the same.
For example, an IMSI in a WCDMA network is "45419500000****". The first 11 digits may vary in different WCDMA networks.
4) Typically, select All standard interface message for the signaling tracing of a single UE on standard interfaces. You can also select Specify standard interface

Figure 2-7 Modifying the version output format
5) Click Save as. You can modify the path where the data is to be saved. 6) Click OK. The tracing starts.
7) When the tracing is complete, stop the tracing by shutting down the window. You can also stop the tracing by selecting Stop tracing in the menu. You must open and read the traced signalling by using the BSC6800 TraceViewer of the same ve rsion. Otherwise, the traced result cannot be opened. The BSC6800 TraceViewer is integrated to LMT. When the LMT is started, the user interface is as shown in Fi gure 2-5.

Figure 2-8 Starting TraceViewer in RNCv1.7
& Note:
l For the same IMSI, the system traces signaling at standard interfaces of single subscriber for one time under RNC. If you trace single subscriber on one LMT, you cannot trace the signaling of the same subscriber on another LMT.
l Under the same RNC, the current version of Trace Viewer supports tracing signaling at standard interfaces of six single subscribers at most at the same time. When multiple engineers start tracing signaling at standard interfaces of single subscriber at the same time for test, they need coordinate resources.
l During tracing signaling at standard interfaces of single subscriber, closing Trace window and clicking
Stop Tracing are different.
l Close Trace window to export log file for tracing. Copy the file, send it to related engineers, and delete the file in time.
l When you click Stop Tracing, The log file to be traced is not closed. Copy the imported log file, and save it. If the file is deleted, data is missing upon next recording.

2.3 Tracing Connection Performance of RNC Single
Subscriber
2.3.1 Content
When locating problems such as call drop, you need analysis the problems based on tracing connection performance of single subscriber recorded at RNC side. Provided with IMSI number, you can enable Tracing connection performance of single subscriber under RNC.
During routine test of network optimization, you usually trace the following four connection performances:
l UL SIR (measured SIR in radio uplink set) l UL SIRtarget (target SIR in radio uplink set) l UL BLER (BLER on uplink transmission channel) l DL Tx Code Power (downlink transmit code power) You might also trace the following connection performances: l PCPICH (Ec/No&RSCP)
l AMR mode
l DL BLER (downlink block error rate) l HO delay (handover delay)
l DL throughput & bandwidth l UL throughput & bandwidth
l DL traffic vol (downlink traffic volume) l UL traffic vol (uplink traffic volume)
l UL Phy BER (uplink physical channel bit error rate) l UE TxPower (UE transmit power)
l UL SIRerror (uplink signal-to-interference ratio error)
2.3.2 Procedure
To trace connection performance of single subscriber, perform the following steps: 1) In Maintenance Navigator, double click Connection performance monitoring.
In the Monitoring item drop-down menu, select UL SIR. Type IMSI number of UE to be traced in IMSI field, shown as in Figure 2-9.
2007-12-13 All rights reserved Page29 , Total220

2) Type the IMSI of the subscriber to be traced and click OK.Tracing connection performance of single subscriber starts. The system automatically saves the tracing file in the default directory.
3) Close the window or right click on the menu after tracing, and select Stop
monitoring to stop tracing
The method for tracing Connection performance of UL SIRtarget, UL BLER, and DL Tx Code Power is similar with that of UL SIR. The difference lies in that you select UL SIRtarget, UL BLER, or DL Tx Code Power in Monitoring item drop-down menu.
2.4 Tracing RNC Cell Performance
2.4.1 Content
When locating problems in a cell, you need view the performance specifications of the cell. If you have the RNC ID and cell ID, you can start tracing cell performance on BSC6800. Cell performance usually includes:
1) PCPICH TxPower (transmit power of cell PCPICH pilot) 2) Tx Carrier Power (transmit power of cell downlink carrier) 3) DCH Subscriber Num (number of DCH subscribers of cell) 4) CCH Subscriber Num (number of CCH subscribers of cell) 5) Cell Code Tree (monitoring cell code tree)
In RNCv1.7, Cell User NUM (number of cell subscribers) and Cell Cmb UserNum (number of cell cmb subscribers) are newly added. DCH User Num (number of cell
2007-12-13 All rights reserved Page30 , Total220 dedicated channel subscribers) and CCH User Num (number of cell common channel subscribers) are deleted.
RNCv1.7 enhances the function of monitoring Cell User NUM, combines DCH User Num with CCH User Num, and adds the function of monitoring the number of HSPDA subscribers. As a result, it can monitor DCH User Num, CCH User Num, and the number of HSPDA subscribers in the same performance monitoring task.
You might also trace the following cell performances:
1) HS-DSCH Provide Bit rate (bit rate provided by HS-DSCH) 2) HS-DSCH Min Power Required (minimum power of HS-DSCH)
3) DL Total Equivalent User Monitor (downlink total equivalent user monitor) 4) UL Total Equivalent User Monitor (downlink total equivalent user monitor) 5) DL CAC Monitor (downlink access grant judgment monitor)
6) UL CAC Monitor (downlink access grant judgment monitor) 7) Node Sync (node synchronization)
8) RTWP (received total bandwidth power)
2.4.2 Procedure
To trace cell performance, perform the following steps:
1) In Maintenance Navigator, double click Cell performance monitoring. Select
PCPICH TxPower in the pop-up dialog box. Type RNC ID and cell ID to be traced
in RNC ID and Cell ID entry area
2) Click OK to start tracing cell performance. The system automatically saves the tra cing file in BSC6800 LMT OM Installation Directory\Rtm by default, such as: C:\H WLMT\BSC6800V100R002ENGC03B092\Rtm.
3) After tracing, close the window or right click on the menu to select Stop
monitoring to stop tracing
4) The method for tracing cell performance of Tx Carrier Power, DCH Subscriber Num, CCH Subscriber Num, and Cell Code Tree is similar with that of PCPICH TxPower
The difference lies in that you select Tx Carrier Power, DCH User Num, CCH User Num, or Cell Code Tree in Monitoring item drop-down menu, shown in Figure 2-10.
2007-12-13 All rights reserved Page31 , Total220
Figure 2-10 Tracing cell performance
To trace cell performance on RNCv1.7, perform the following steps:
1) In Maintenance, double click Cell performance monitoring. Select PCPICH
TxPower in the pop-up dialog box. Type the cell ID to be traced in the Cell ID entry
area.
2) Click OK to start tracing cell performance. The system automatically saves the tracing file in the BSC6800 LMT installation directory \output\realmonitor by default, such as:D:\HWLMT\adaptor\clientadaptor\BSC6800\BSC6800V100R007 C01B061\output\realmonitor.
3) After tracing, close the window or right click on the menu to select Stop
monitoring to stop tracing.
4) The method for tracing cell performance of Tx Carrier Power, DCH User Num, CCH User Num, and Cell Code Tree is similar with that of PCPICH TxPower. The difference lies in that you select Tx Carrier Power, DCH User Num, CCH User Num, or Cell Code Tree in Monitoring item drop-down menu, shown in Figure 2-11.

Figure 2-12 Tracing cell performance with a list in RNCv1.7
In RNCv1.7, you do not need to enter the RNC ID when starting tracing cell performance. Only the cells of the local RNC can be traced, so it is redundant to enter the RNC ID. In addition, an incorrect RNC ID may cause that the system cannot give
2007-12-13 All rights reserved Page33 , Total220 any report on cell performances. Therefore, entering RNC ID is removed in RNCv1.7. LMT and the foreground processes the RNC ID automatically.
2.5 Tracing RNC Calls
The BSC6800 LMT provides abundant functions of tracing subscribers, listed in Table 2-1. It can trace the messages at standard interface of UE, messages at user plane and signaling plane of UE, and even multiple calls. Operation methods and procedure are similar to that of tracing signaling at standard interfaces of single subscriber.
Table 2-1 List of tracing on BSC6800
Type of traced task Function description
Tracing messages at standard interfaces of UE
Tracing signaling messages at lu interface, lur interface, lub interface, and Uu interface of specified UE during calling.
You must specify the IMSI, TMSI, P-TMSI, or IMEI of UE to start tracing. Tracing all signaling messages at four standard interfaces or tracing messages at specified interfaces.
Tracing messages at UE interface and signaling plane of UE during calling
Tracing messages at UE interface and signaling interface of UE during calling.
You must specify the UE (IMSI, TMSI, P-TMSI, or IMEI is also optional) to start tracing. You select messages at subscriber interface and signaling interface through selecting tracing events.
Tracing IOS (multiple calls at the same time)
Tracing messages imported in multiple callings connected consecutively to the specified cell.
The number of calling connected consecutively to the cell is specified to N,
If the number of current callings connected to the cell is N, the system does not trace new incoming callings.
If the number of current callings connected to the cell is less than N due to calling termination, the software adds the new incoming calling to task list automatically.
Through selecting traced events fro selecting traced messaged type, you select one or more cells. If no cell is added, the system traces all BSC6800 cells.
Tracing cells
Tracing NBAP common messages or USER_VOLUME events in the specified cells. Wherein, USER_VOLUME contains some customized messages which reflect the statistics information of UE in the cell. Specify a cell by typing cell ID. Select the types of messages to be traced by selecting tracing events. Cells to be traced must be already activated. The information to be traced is much, so this has little impact on system operation. You can trace 32 cells at most at the same time due to the limit by system. If you request are met by using lub interface, then use it as possible.

2.6 Tracing RNC Protocol Messages at Transport Network
Layer
When the interface link is problematic, you can locate and analyze the problem by tracing transport network layer, including tracing the following messages:
l QAAL2 protocol messages l SCCP protocol messages l MTP3B protocol messages l SAAL protocol messages
Tracing protocol messages at transport network layer does not belong to frequently-used operations by RNP&O engineers.
Table 2-2 lists the traced messages at transport network layer on BSC6800.
Table 2-2 Traced messages at transport network layer on BSC6800
Type of traced tasks Function description
QAAL2 protocol message It helps locate problems of AAL2 setup failure and Abnormal release of AAL2. It helps judge whether the local or the opposite is normal by whether to send ESTABLISH_REQUEST.
SCCP protocol message
The SCCP protocol message includes the connection-oriented and non-connection-oriented message. It helps locate problems of lu connection setup failure and abnormal release.
MTP3B protocol message
The MTP3B protocol message includes the upper layer subscriber (QAAL2 and SCCP) message, the MTP3B signaling link test message, and MTP3B signaling network management message. It helps judge whether the target signaling point is unreachable or MTP3B link is unavailable. If the corresponding SAAL link is available, the method for locating
problematic point is to check whether OPC, DPC, and SLS are matching and consistent with the negotiated data in the received and sent SLTM messages, and whether
SAAL protocol message It helps judge whether the SAAL link is unavailable. If only messages are sent from RNC but not sent to RNC in the traced message, the bottom layer link (PVC) is congested or the opposite end work abnormally.

2.7 Tracing RNC MNCDT
Missing Ncell Detect (MNCDT) means that the RNC misses configuring some neighboring cells in the neighboring cell handover list for each cell. It includes intra-frequency MNCDT (Intra Freq), inter-frequency MNCDT (Inter Freq), and inter-system MNCDT (Inter RAT). The MNCDT information reported by UEs is delivered to CHR, thus facilitating optimization of neighboring cells.
To implement MNCDT, the following functions must be provided:
Function 1: RNC supports inter-frequency MNCDT. To implement this function, the measurement and control information of inter-frequency hard handover based on period or event must be delivered, and RNC must receive a valid measurement report for analysis. That is to say, this function is closely related to inter-frequency handover. LMT initiates and terminates inter-frequency MNCDT, queries status, and delivers the result to CHR.
Function 2: RNC supports inter-system MNCDT. To implement this function, the measurement and control information of inter-system handover based on period or event must be delivered, and RNC must receive a valid measurement report for analysis. That is to say, this function is closely related to inter-system handover. LMT initiates and terminates inter-system MNCDT, queries status, and delivers the result to CHR
To trace MNCDT, perform the following steps:
1) In Maintenance, double click MNCDT. Select the type to be traced in the pop-up dialog box.
2) Click OK. The system automatically saves the tracing file in installation directory\ client\output\main\BSC6800\BSC6800V100R006C01B040\trace by default, in the format of office direction name_trace type_year-month-date-hour-minute-second. tmf.
3) For inter-frequency MNCDT, enter uplink UARFCN, downlink UARFCN, start of primary scrambling code, and end of primary scrambling code. For inter RAT MNCDT, enter NCC, BCC, start of BCCH ARFCN, and end of BCCH ARFCN. Figure 2-17 shows tracing BSC6800 MNCDT in RNCv1.7.

2.8 Tracing RNC CDT/IFTS
This task can be used to trace the standard interface messages of the UE, and the messages on the user plane and signaling plane of the UE in a call. Through the tracing task, the operator can monitor the signaling interaction process on each standard interface, signaling interaction on the user plane, and the uplink and downlink data in a call. To perform CDT tracing, the operator can specify the UE to be traced, the interface, and message type or can set a cell ID, SPUa subsystem of the cell, service type, and RRC setup cause. The powerful user plane statistics tracing function of the CDT and the printing tracing function of the CDL are sharp weapons that locate HSPA digital transmission problems, user plane problems, and internal product problems.
The following takes V29 as an example to introduce the startup interface and common tracing setting interfaces of the CDT tracing function. Figure 2-1 shows the CDT startup interface, on which CDT tracing based on the UE ID is performed.
Figure 2-21 CDT startup interface in V29 (tracing based on UE ID)
In addition to CDT tracing by UE ID (IMSI, TMSI, or IMEI), a cell such as the IOS can be specified; the system can then randomly select a UE to perform CDT tracing. This is called IFTS. The IFTS tracing specially applies to the case in which the fault is known but the UE ID cannot be determined.

The CDT/IFTS provides a powerful user plane tracing function. We introduce the following common user plane tracing settings. To locate general network problems, select Periodically Data Report and set the period to two seconds and L2 Data
Report Time to zero seconds or ten seconds. If the user plane data is required to
locate a problem (for example, TRB resetting problem), set L2 Data Report Time to
