What is a Scope?

A scope is a collection of objects that we use as our optimization target

Visualization in the Browser, in the Navigator and on the Map

Scope modification:

activation

adding and removing objects

deleting a scope

renaming a scope

Scopes are visible and modifiable to all users

For public use IPR applies

6 Nokia Siemens Networks OS86693EN04GLA0

Creating a Scope

Select objects

Use popup-menu Scope

->Create New Scope

A new scope is automatically activated

A double click activates and deactivates a scope

If a site is in the scope the cells are automatically in the scope too

Creating a Scope

Affected Area Scopes may be used in Antenna Tilt Optimization, for example. Depending on the selections made in Antenna Tilt Optimization dialog, the selected elements will have an initial scope and/or a scope that shows the situation after the antenna tilting.

Scope Group:

Scopes are assigned to scope groups, either to the Default Scope Group or user-defined scope groups.

Active Scope

The active scope is highlighted in the Scopes list.

On the Map only the cells belonging to the scope are colored.

Exercise

Create new scopes by selecting objects

In the Map In the Browser In an existing Scope Add a new site from the map into the active scope

Remove from the scope one of the cells of that site What can you do? Play with the scopes

Plans

A plan is a collection of changes to the actual data

If a plan is deleted all changes are lost

Optimizer plans can be exported to RAC for provisioning

Changes will become actual data after successful provisioning

RAC plans can be imported into Optimizer

New PLANNED elements can be optimized also

Old or unnecessary plans should be deleted both in RAC and Optimizer

Note! Plans are not limited by the scope selection
