Chapter 4Data ManagementData management allows users to import various data automatically or manually andmanage the imported data in the UniPOS NetMAX system. All data managementoperations are managed as tasks.

Data Management Functions

The UniPOS NetMAX system provides the following data management functions:

l Establishes connections to EMSs and NDSsl Imports engineering datal Imports radio datal Imports MR, CDT, and DPI datal Imports performance datal Imports feeder balance and RSSI datal Deletes engineering data, MR/CDT/DPI data, feeder balance and RSSI datal Manages UE informationl Manages tasks

Some data can be imported or deleted manually or automatically, including radio dataand performance data. The automatic import and deletion functions are disabled in thesystem by default. Users can set and enable a plan for using the automatic import ordeletion function. If a plan is set for importing specific data automatically, users must set acorresponding plan for deleting the data automatically to avoid insufficient free disk spacecaused by accumulated data.

Note:

The default settings are recommended when multiple plans are set for automaticallyimporting or deleting different types of data.

Data Types

Table 4-1 describes different data types required for network analysis.

4-1



Table 4-1 Data Type Descriptions

Data Type Description Remarks

Engineering

data

Engineering data is manually imported from an

Excel file that is prepared during the commissioning

of the radio access network. This file records the

information of all cells in the network, such as

Radio Network Controller (RNC) ID, Node B ID,

Cell ID, Sector ID, Primary Scrambling Code (PSC),

longitude, latitude, and azimuth.

All fields (required and optional) can be randomly

sorted in the Excel file. The required fields

are: RNCID, NodeBID, CellID, SectorID, PSC,

Azimuth, CellLON, and CellLAT.

Other data (such as MR, CDT

and DPI) can be imported

into the system only after

engineering data is imported.

You are not required to import

the engineering data again if

no engineering data changes

in the network.

Radio data Radio data is collected from all managed RNCs in

the radio access network by the EMS. The radio

data is automatically or manually imported into the

UniPOS NetMAX system from the EMS after a

connection is established between the EMS and

the system.

-

Performance

data

Performance data records the values of various

performance counters in the managed RNCs.

The EMS collects performance data from all

managed RNCs in the radio access network and

stores the collected data in its database. After a

connection is established between the UniPOS

NetMAX system and the EMS, performance data in

CSV file format can be automatically or manually

imported into the UniPOS NetMAX server from the

EMS.

-

MR data In the radio access network, the RNCs record

measurement reports generated during calls.

These measurement reports contain raw data

measured by Node Bs and UEs, such as field

strength, interference, and signal quality.

The ZTE UniPOS NDS-U system collects MR data

from the RNCs and stores the collected data in

CSV file format. After a connection is established

between the UniPOS NetMAX system and the ZTE

UniPOS NDS-U system, the MR data files can be

imported from the ZTE UniPOS NDS-U system.

CDT data CDT data, also called Call Detail Record (CDR),

records the details of calls. It provides sufficient

and real-time call information for network planning

Three methods can be used

for importing MR/CDT data

files:

l Setting a policy for

automatically importing

MR/CDT data files from

the ZTE UniPOS NDS-U

system.

l Manually importing

MR/CDT data files from

the ZTE UniPOS NDS-U

system.

l Manually importing

MR/CDT data files that

are stored on a client.

and optimization, fault location, and algorithm

optimization.

The ZTE UniPOS NDS-U system collects CDT data

from the RNCs and stores the collected data in

CSV file format. After a connection is established

between the UniPOS NetMAX system and the ZTE

UniPOS NDS-U system, the CDT data files can be

imported from the ZTE UniPOS NDS-U system.

Engineering data provides

longitude and latitude

information for MR data

being imported.

VIP user

information

VIP user (subscriber) information, such as

International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and

International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), can

be arranged in an Excel file and then imported into

the UniPOS NetMAX system.

VIP users can be determined in accordance with the

optimization requirements or specified by telecom

carriers.

VIP user information is used

for monitoring and analyzing

VIP users.

User

information

User information (such as IMSI and IMEI) is

acquired from the imported CDT data.

User information can be used

for KPI analysis.

UE information Telecom carriers arrange the information of UEs

by IMEIs. The network planning and optimization

personnel prepare an Excel file containing the UE

information, including vendor, model, and chips.

You can obtain the Excel file, and then import it into

the UniPOS NetMAX system through a client.

UE information can be used

for special analysis and UE

analysis.

Feeder
