TASKS

VALIDATIONTASKS

Phase consists ofone-time preparationtasks like design ofexcel templates andPE adjustments toproject needs.

Phase consist of two main groups of tasks:

First, which is the core of LACE, focuses on activities regardingradio parameters flow from project excelsheet via PlanEditor toRNC.

Second is about verification of implemented data.

LACE steps for new network element creation1/5

Steps forproject preparation

1. Under Excel prepare 2 templates in which you will keep NodeB, Cells(in one workbook) and Neighbours relations (in separate workbook).You will use one Exel file per RNC to keep track for your networkobjects.

2. Under PlanEditordefine CSV mapping. This mapping is set of rulesapplied during importing to data taken from your excel sheet, in orderto put it into PlanEditor.

3. Under PlanEditorverify if your project default settings for NodeB, Cellsand Neighbours are the same as default PlanEditor templates. If not,under PlanEditorupdate the default template values.

LACE steps for new netwrok element creation2/5

Steps forcreation of network elements

4. Under Excel type in data for new elements to be created in RNC. Savethe excelsheet.

5. Under Excel save the data as CSV file. One file for NodeBs and Cells,The second file for adjacencies.

6. Under Radio Access Configurators Planning Interface upload andsave current parameters of RNC to which you are going to add newnetwork element.

7. Under PlanEditorimport the plan downoaded in step 6. Whenimporting choose option import actual data....

8. Under PlanEditorcheck that objects like CoCo, HOPS and FMCS doexist in the RNC. If not create them.




Steps forcreation of network elements-cont.

9. Under PlanEditorcreate and activate new planwith RNC RN 1.5profile.

10. Under PlanEditorimport CSV file with WBTS and WCEL objects. Thisis the one of the two files that you have prepared in step 5.

11. Under PlanEditor import second CSV file with ADJS objects. This filehas been also prepared in step 5.

12. Under PlanEditorvalidate parameters of newly created objects.

13. Under PlanEditorexport the plan to XML RAML 1.0 file.

14. Under Radio Access Configurator Planning Interface download theplan to RNC.




Steps forvalidation of plan downloaded to RNC.

15. Under Radio Access Configurator Planning Interface upload the planfrom RNC (in the same way as in step 6)

16. Under Plan Editor import the uploaded actual RNC data on top ofcurrent plan. Switch on logfile during the import.

17. Under Plan Editoranalyse the logfile to check differences betweenyour plan and the one implemented. Take actions if needed.

18. Under Plan Editoranalyse export bufferwith exclude option to checkparameters which are missing in network although they wererequested in your plan. Take actions if needed.

19. To add new set of network elements go to step 4



How to prepare excel templates for RANobjects creation 1/5

Excel templates are just predefined files which will include RF data that isparameters of RAN objects like WBTS, WCEL and ADJS

These templates will be used not only to store the data, but also to transfer yourdata to the network to make it running

You need one set of templates per one RNC

The format of each template can be very flexible, and project dependent,

however you have to follow certain rules like:

1. Keep WBTS and WCEL data in one workbook and ADJS in separateworkbook or file

2. Keep minum required parameters for each objects like Ids, Names,Scrambling code, etc. Common parameters will be taken from templates.

3. Keep information about WBTS and ADJS objects in rows it means eachrow of excelsheet represents one WBTS (or ADJS) while each columnrepresents parameter for the object

4. Keep information about WCELs in one row which refers to their parentWBTS


9/72



Here you can see an example of template file. It includes some values fordemonstration purposes

The file consists of two workbooks WCEL which includes minimum set of parameters for WBTS and

WCEL objects definition ADJS which includes minimum set of parameters for ADJS objects

definition

Double click the icon to see the file


10/72



Example of WCEL workbook consists of 32 columns A-AE. They includeparameters which are obligatory for WBTS and WCEL creation under RNC

Column A includes data reference to parent RNC. Columns B-D include data of WBTS object.

Please note that column D template name, if empty, refers to PlanEditor default template forWBTS. If not empty then it refers to template with given name. Setting of remaining (notmentioned in columns B-D) WBTS parameters is done during import to PlanEditor basing onthese template values.

Columns E-M as N-V and W-AE include data of WCEL objects. As in this example template there are 3 WCELs per WBTS. Each of mentioned column groups

includes parameters for single WCEL. So in one row parameters for 3 WCELs are provided Similarly to WBTS also each of 3 WCEL objects has template name column avaliable.


11/72



Example of ADJS workbook consists of 22 columns A-V. They includeparameters which are obligatory for ADJS creation under RNC

Columns A and B includes data reference to parent RNC and WBTS Columns C-V include data of ADJS objects.

Please note that columns E template name and F template set if empty, refer to PlanEditordefault template and template set for ADJS. If not empty then they refer to templates with givennames. Setting of remaining ADJS parameters is done during import to PlanEditor basing onthese templates values.

Columns V includes AdjCPICHTxPwr parameter, please note that itsvalue is not user interface value but RAC db value.

It means that istead of providing for example 33dBm here one should provide value multipliedby 10 in this example 330.

SUMMARY Excel templates are needed as input for the LACE process

You should define global project templates for WBTS,WCEL and ADJS

Your templates should keep minimum number of parameters, ascommon parameters can be easily taken from PlanEditor templates

during import In order to be easily handled by PlanEditor parameters should be defined

in columns while network objects should be put in rows

How to define CSV mapping under PE 1/12

CSV (comma separated values) mapping is part of import interface ofPlanEditor .

It enables easy way to grab the parameters from excelsheet templates intoPlanEditor: 1) Excelsheet is saved as CSV file 2) CSV file is imported to PE3) PE import module interpretes CSV data with defined CSV mapping.

Columns of our excel templates standing for parameters are mapped toparameter structure valid for PE. That is why proper construction of exceltemplates (keep parameters in columns) is so important.

Definition of CSV mapping is one-time process. You set it once per PEdatabase that is mdb file. If you will decide to use several mdb files (oneper RNC for example) you have to remember to set CSV mapping for eachof them. Also you need to update the mapping when you decide to changethe structure of excel template (in order to add new parameter for example).

This definition can be done manually, but it might be more convinient to

prepare a special file with mapping this file can be used many times fordifferent mdb files for example.


14/72


How to define CSV mapping under PE 2/12There is following excel sheet with data to be inputed to PE:

Data of the exel sheet might be also presented like this:

RNC

WBTS

WCEL

RNC

WBTS

WCEL

RNCId=205

RNCName=RN25

Template_name=

WBTSId= 3307

WBTSName=3307U

WBTSId= 3307

WBTSName=3307U

Template_name=

CId= 13307

LCRId=1

Template_name=

LAC=10205

NOTE:In real life projects you will probobly never add RNCobjects to your excel sheet, so please take it as anexample only. Quite realistic example of exceltemplate was provided on slide 9.

To put this data from excelsheet to Plan Editor weneed to define specialmapping rules under PEimport interface, which willtranslate data from excel

format to PE format.

1. Go to Import

2. Choose Importprofiles...

3. Select DefaultCSV Profile from

Profile Name

4. Select ... fromCSV Mapping


16/72



Object Number specifies howmany types ofnetwork elementsare included inCSV file. Here wecan see 3 objects

Class is relatedwith ObjectNumber. This issome kind ofmapping. In thisexample we cansee suchmapping: ObjectNumber 1-RNC,Object Number 2-

WBTS and ObjectNumber 3-WCEL

Column Numberprovides number of the

column in our exceltemplate where

Parameter for givenClass is located. In

this example: column 1(means A) of excel

sheet includesParameter RNCId for

class RNC, but alsoWBTS and WCEL

Parameterprovides name of

parameter forcetrain object

Class

Above you can see predefined CSV mapping table


17/72


How to define CSV mapping under PE 5/12 For object number 1, which is RNC,

parameters are given in columns 1-4 (A-D) ofexcel sheet. These parameters are RncId,RNCName, template_name and nms_id

The first row of excel file includes headerwith parameters names. This is notnecessary that these names are exactly thesame as Parameter value in CSV mapping.The header row might be also missing fromthis file. It is only needed for plannerconvinience.

Following rows of excel file include networkelement data. In this example we have RNC205, WBTS 3307 and WCEL 13307 definedin row 2 of excel sheet and RNC 207, WBTS2272 and WCEL 12272 defined in row 3


18/72


How to define CSV mapping under PE 6/12 For object number 2, which is WBTS,

parameters are given in columns 1, 5-7 (A, E-G) of excel sheet. These parameters areRncId,WBTSId, WBTSName and

template_name

You can see that parameter RNCId isreferred not only by RNC object but also byWBTS and WCEL objects. This is done forhierarchy purposes. In the same time you donot need to provide same parameter in excelsheet many times only once and refer to itwhen needed.


19/72


How to define CSV mapping under PE 7/12How to define your own mapping for excelsheet template like this attached to slide 9?

This can be done manually:

1. Press New

2. Provide namefor mapping table

3. Define mappings for WBTS and WCEL objects.First remove old mappings then create object no 1,select class to WBTS, next provide avaliableparameters from excel sheet. Please note that in

this example COCOId parameter is assumed to bethe same as WBTSId


20/72


How to define CSV mapping under PE 8/12Instead of manual definition of mapping table you can use automatic configuration of PE

First you need to prepare 3 files as attached examples:

c_import_table_mapping.cf the file which includes mappingdata for WBTS and ADJS objects basing on input data definedin excel template

c_import_profile.cf the file includes new names of profiles

which will be displayed under import profiles. The description ofprofiles is placed in c_import_table_mapping.cf. In thisexample two profiles are created: WBTS Creation and ADJSCreation

makefile.cf the file defines what changes should be addedto the existing PE database. It refers to both files described

above.


21/72


How to define CSV mapping under PE 9/12When files are ready you have to apply them to PlanEditor database:

1. Press Config

3. Select UpdateDatabase

4. Press Settings

2. ChooseDatabase


22/72



5. Provide path toMakefile.cf

6. Provide path toremaining *.cffiles

7.Provide filename for logfile, ifneeded

8. You can checkMakefile.cf to be sure

what is inside it and whatchanges are planned

9. Finally press

Update toexecute thechanges

10. Before the update PEwill shut DB. Before ithappens, usual questionappears. Answer no.

11. Update isdone. Shortsummary ispresented witherrors and

warnings. Youcan check thelogfile to identifythem. To see theupdate effectyou need toreopen thedatabase


23/72



12. After re-openingthe databse andchoosing importprofile you can seethat WBTSCreation profilewas added to thelist. Also ADJS

Creation profile wasadded. Now you areprepared to transferdata between yourexcelsheettemplates and PlanEditor


24/72



SUMMARY CSV mapping table is part of PE import interface

Mapping table is used for translation of data from excel sheet templateinto PlanEditor database

Mapping table definition is done under PlanEditor. It can be done

manually, but also automatically with usage of specially preparedconfiguration files.

How to verify that your project defaults arethe same as PE templates

Usually most of the radio parameters of network elements in your project should be taken from Nokia defaultvalues. You can check these current Nokia defaults values in current version of PlanEditor.

1. Select TemplateDetails fromTemplates menu

2. Choose object

for which you wishto check NokiaDefault values. Incase of RadioPlanner thenetwork elementsunder interestusually would beWBTS, WCEL,ADJS, HOPS,FMCS

How to update default template under PE?1/6

If for some reason Nokia default values from PlanEditor do not match yourdefaults (for example Pekka J. Ranta has issued new parameters

adjustments, or after optimisation you decided to change some values to fitbetter your environment) and you are sure you want to keep your values,then you should update PE default profiles. Those profiles are used duringdata import from your excel sheet to PlanEditor. As you remember excelsheet includes only minimal set of parameters rest of them is takenautomatically from PE templates. That is why it is important to keep this

templates uptodate. Updating templates might be done manually or automatically

Manual changes are done straight under Templates window, as it is shownon slide 25

If there is bigger amout of parameters that should be updated, then

automatic update is reccomended. This uses PE database updatemechanism introduced on slides 20-21. Please see next slide for details



27/72



First we need to recognize which parameters are different from current PEdefault values.

Next we create file with these parameters. Lets name this filec_parameter_declatations.cf. Here is an example of such a file

Then we create Makefile.cf which includes reference for previous file.

Next step is similar as it was with CSV mapping tables import. See next

How to upload and save parameters of RNC1/8

For RNC parameters management at least 3 applications might be used:

NEMU used maninly by RNC engineers for live changes of networkelements under specified RNC. This aplication is not directly used inLACE process, but might be helpful. Ask RNC eng. for assistance.

Planning Interface to Radio Access Configurator- Internet Explorerbased aplication which makes consistency checking and provides

your RNW plan to/from Radio Access. You can run this aplication if youhave CITRIX connection to RAC defined. If you have problems with itask OSS eng. for assistance.

RAN Plan Management OSS aplication, part of NetAct Radio AccessConfigurator also avaliable via CITRIX connection. It helps with

preparation, aproving, downloading/uploading and activation of RNWplan to/from proper RNC. OSS engineer should be able to help you incase of problems.

RNC

WBTS

WCEL

ADJS

CoCo

FMCSFMC

S

HOPSHOPS

RNC is a parent for WBT, WCEL andADJ but also for additional objects.

These additional objects are:

CoCo connection configurationreffered by WBTS. There must beone CoCo defined per WBTS

FMCS for frequencymeasurements reffered byWCEL. There must be two FMCSobject defined per RNC one forRT data and the second for NRTdata

HOPS for handover patchparameters referred by ADJSThere must be two HOPS objectdefined per RNC one for RTdata and the second for NRT data



44/72


In practice - before integrating new NodeB to network you must be sure that CoCoobject for the new WBTS is already created and FMCS and HOPS objects do existin this RNC. Usually CoCo Id is the same as WBTS Id (this must be agreed with

person who create CoCo transmission or RNC eng.)

BACK

After import logfile is created. Check this logfile with notepad.

In the logfile you will find the info what parameters or object were created/deleted/modifiedoutside your plan. You should ask other planners or RNC engineer in order to clarify why these

changes were done. In the example below it looks like there was WBTS object created outside your plan (your plan

does not include creation of this WBTS but it exists in RNC), ADJS was removed andPtxPrimaryCPICH for WCEL with LCRID 3 of WBTS 2183 was changed, as well as MHAparameter for WCEL 2 of WBTS 2201
