Chapter 1
Overview
The NetMAX GSM system is a network optimization tool for analyzing and optimizing GSM
radio access networks. It collects all required data for network analysis and optimization,
including engineering data, MR data, CDT data, MRCI (MR C/R) data, and handover data.
l
The engineering data are the basis for all functions, and should be recorded by
engineers in accordance with the actual situation during commissioning.
The engineering data include: BSC ID, site ID, cell ID, BCCH, BSIC, longitude,
latitude, and antenna azimuth.
l
l
The MR data is the raw data measured by base stations and subscribers. The MR
data includes field intensity, interference, and signal quality.
The MRCI (MR C/I) data records the distribution of power level differences among
each cell and its related cells. The data is used for cell filtering by C/I differences, C/I
interference analysis, and neighboring cell optimization.
The CDT data records the detailed information of calls in the network. The call
details, providing abundant real-time information, can be used for network planning
and optimization, failure location, and algorithm optimization.
System Architecture
The NetMAX GSM system, consisting of the client and the server, is used in cooperation
with the data collection server. The system architecture is shown in Figure 1-1.

The data collection server obtains IP packets from each BSC periodically, and
generates data files in the format required by the NetMAX GSM system.
The NetMAX GSM server obtains the data summarization from the data collection
server, and imports the data statistics into the database.
The NetMAX GSM client, connected to the NetMAX GSM server, obtains the
data from the database, and performs data analysis, including network evaluation,
special analysis, parameter optimization, subscriber experience evaluation, and GIS
geographical analysis.

The import and deletion operations on different data are similar. This chapter does not
contain detailed instructions for each data type. You can refer to similar procedures as
required. For example, to delete radio data, performance data, or MRCI data, you can
refer to the procedure for deleting engineering data.
The NetMAX GSM system supports automatic and manual import and deletion of various
data, such as engineering data, radio data, performance data, and MR, CDT, and MRCI
data. The automatic import and deletion function is disabled by default. You can set
and enable a task for using the automatic import or deletion function. If a task is set for

SJ-20141014101219-001|2014-10-15 (R1.0)
importing specific data automatically, you must set a corresponding task for deleting the
data automatically to avoid insufficient free disk space caused by accumulated data.
The default settings are recommended when multiple tasks are set for automatically
importing or deleting different data. Based on the default settings, the tasks are started at
different time.

Multiple conditions can be combined for analyzing specific data from different aspects, for
example, the call completion ratio in a specific cell, the call completion ratio of a specific
terminal, or the call completion ratio of a specific terminal in a cell.
The system deems that all objects are selected even when no object is selected on the
Conditions tab. However, if an analysis function requires that specific objects must be
selected, a message will be displayed in the message pane, prompting you to select an
object.
The Conditions tab varies with the actual data analysis window on the right part of the
client. It only displays the conditions related to the corresponding analysis function.

Context
The following provides the definitions of problem cell and suspicious cell in the analysis of
crossed BCCH antennas:
Suppose there are three cells, cell A, cell B, and cell C. Cell B is a relevant cell of cell
A. Cell C is a cell using the same frequency band in the same base station as cell A. If
the correlation value (CO1) between cell A and cell B is less than the correlation value
(CO2) between cell C and cell B and the correlation difference is greater than or equal
to the threshold, the system determines cell A as a problem cell, determines cell C as a
suspicious cell whose antennas are crossed, and determines cell B as an abnormal cell.
The system displays problem cells and suspicious cells in pairs.
Before analyzing crossed BCCH antennas, you can perform the following operations to
set the correlation difference threshold:
1. On the NetMAX GSM client, select Tools > Options from the menu bar. The Options
dialog box is displayed.
