1 Basic Principles
Basic Principles
The PRS is a comprehensive performance report management solution for telecom operators. It
provides professional system (predefined) reports on the RANs and core networks of different
radio access technologies (RATs), such as GSM, WCDMA, LTE, CDMA, and WiMAX. It
displays analysis results in reports of various types and supports user-defined reports. This allows
users to flexibly define key performance indicators (KPIs) and service performance reports and
helps users learn about network performance.
Figure 1-1 describes the data flow process in the PRS.
Figure 1-1 Data flow process in the PRS
In the PRS, the data collection module periodically collects performance files and configuration
files from the data storage directory of the element management system. Then, the data collection
module transfers the files to the data storage directory of the PRS using FTP/SFTP.
Issue 01 (2013-07-15)
PRS
Statistics Performance Visibility Function Description
1 Basic Principles
PRS-FS, which indicates the PRS file service (FS) module, periodically parses the files in the
PRS data storage directory and imports the original configuration data, performance data and
license data into the sumdb database. It also clears obsolete original data from the sumdb
database.
PRS-DS, which indicates the PRS data service (DS) module, periodically collects original data
from the sumdb database according to the preset rules and the period set for collecting
performance counters. After setting and aggregating original data, the DS module saves the
processed data in the sumdb database for report analysis.
The PRS-ReportService service for KPI management and report management and the PRSReportEngine service for KPI query obtain summary data from the sumdb database according
to search criteria. Then, the module provides the following services according to the commands
from the PRS client: report management, KPI management, and KPI analysis.
In addition, Administration Tool, which indicates the PRS administration tool (AT), is a Webbased configuration tool. It allows you to access the database using the Web browser and set
performance counters in the database. For example, you can set counter-related attributes, set
system attributes, and query log information. System settings include the setting of the start day
in a week, setting of special date, data integrity query, collection of performance data and
configuration data, import and export of counters, space estimation, and export of configuration
parameters.
Data Collection
A measurement period refers to the interval for NEs to report performance measurement results.
After an M2000 user sets a measurement period, NEs measure counters based on the period and
report measurement results. The M2000 parses the results and saves them in the database. Report
periods may vary according to measurement counters. Measurement periods may vary according
to NE types. The measurement periods supported by NEs may be one or several of the following
periods: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 24 hours. The NodeB does not support
the 5-minute measurement period.
After NE's performance measurement results are reported to the M2000, the M2000 exports the
results from the performance database to the specified path on the server based on the northbound
export parameters set on the client. Then, the M2000 sends the results to the PRS. The
northbound export parameters set on the M2000 do not distinguish periods. The M2000
generates performance data for the PRS based on the periods of performance data reported by
NEs. If NEs do not report performance data, no performance data exists on the M2000. The
performance measurement results of multiple periods can co-exist.
According to the performance data collection period set on the client, the PRS selects the
performance result files generated in one period from all the original files exported from the
M2000 as the original result files.
NOTE
The PRS does not import all the counters collected from the M2000 into the database. Therefore, in the
Counter Settings dialog box on the AT of the PRS, you must check whether the required counters have
been activated. By default, KPIs have been activated. If the counters are not activated, activate them on
the AT.
Data Aggregation
Data aggregation is a process in which data is gathered and expressed in a summary form.
Through data aggregation, the PRS obtains original performance data according to system

settings and saves the data in the sumdb database. This helps you query and analyze performance
data. Figure 1-2 describes the data aggregation process in the PRS.

1 Basic Principles
Monthly Busy-Hour Data (month): The PRS calculates the busy hours of the last month
and aggregates all the data generated in the busy hours at 06:15 in the third day of the
next month by default.
l
Compared with data aggregation on default time, data aggregation on user-defined time allows you
to perform query on the fly for the data aggregated within the customized period. For example, to
aggregate the data generated from Monday to Friday, you can customize a time type that spans from
Monday to Friday. After selecting the time type, you can query the data aggregated from Monday to
Friday immediately.
In KPI analysis or performance report query, the PRS immediately starts aggregating original data and
hourly data after parsing collected original performance data and configuration data. You can quickly view
the latest summary data in the query results. The parsed data is not aggregated on day, week, month, daily
busy hours, weekly busy hours, or monthly busy hours until the next time the scheduled aggregation is
triggered.
Issue 01 (2013-07-15)
PRS

1 Basic Principles
Data Storage
The performance result files collected by the PRS from the OSS are saved in the specified
directory on the PRS server for 1 to 32 days. You can change the period for storing collected
data files on the server in Data Collection Parameters in the OSS Management window on
the PRS client.
The original result data that has been parsed by the PRS FS can be saved for 1 to 14 days. After
choosing Counter Settings > Storage Time on the PRS AT, you can change the value of
Original Data (day). The FS service deletes obsolete original result data at 04:15 every day
by default.
Table 1-1 lists the periods for saving the data that is aggregated by the PRS DS by hour, day,
week, month, daily busy hours, weekly busy hours, and special date. After choosing Counter
Settings > Storage Time on the PRS AT, you can change the value of a data type. By default,
the DS deletes obsolete data at 04:15 every day by default.
Table 1-1 Period for saving aggregated data
Data Type

31 to 93 days
The default value is 31 days.
Daily data
62 to 1095 days
The default value is 180 days.
Weekly data

The default value is 13 months.
NOTE
Generally, the data stored in a system cannot reach the upper storage threshold. In some special cases where
storage space cannot meet onsite requirements, such as non-standard server type and excessive NEs
connected, the PRS provides a protection mechanism to ensure that new data can be handled properly. By
default, the PRS samples the usage of the sumdb database. Once the usage of the sumdb database reaches
90%, the PRS starts the protection mechanism and deletes the oldest data from hourly data.

you can analyze the causes and solve the problems accordingly to ensure that the network runs
properly.
3.2 KPI Insight
This section describes the KPI insight feature. Different from common KPI statistical tools
(providing only reports), the PRS allows users to obtain the network performance data for
monitoring network performance from each network object dimension by using one-click query,
and displays network performance data in indicator tables, charts, data tables, and reports. The
feature has integrated rich network optimization experience, which helps users perform network
quality correlated analysis. KPI insight supports the following object dimensions: whole
network, cell, and cell cluster.
3.3 KPI Benchmarking
The KPI benchmarking function of the PRS enables you to set benchmarking rules for the
specified KPIs of specified objects or object groups. By using the function, the PRS compares
the current value of the performance data and the benchmark value. Then, it identifies the KPIs,
objects, or object groups that change significantly in comparison with the benchmark value. This
helps network maintenance engineers quickly identify network exceptions and improves
problem locating efficiency.
3.4 Traffic Trend Analysis
The PRS provides the traffic trend analysis function for you to predict the voice traffic trend of
the radio network before network capacity expansion and reduction, network optimization, or
major holidays. This helps telecom operators provide quality communication services for
subscribers and protects telecom operators' investments.

Users can define multiple sets of benchmark rules based on the radio environment and apply
the benchmark rules to specific devices or object groups. The fixed benchmark rules apply
to network swapping and network deployment scenarios, and the floating benchmark rules
apply to routine network monitoring.
2.
After benchmark rules are created, the PRS can automatically search for the benchmark
rules that match the selected object type when a benchmark report is created. You can select
the KPIs in the benchmark rules as required to create a report containing benchmark data.
The report enables you to easily query the KPI values, benchmark values of KPIs, and
benchmark delta data that indicates the difference between the benchmark value and the
current value of each KPI.
3.
In the query result of a benchmark report, you can view the KPI values of the device or
object being compared, benchmark values of the KPIs, benchmark delta indicating the
difference between the benchmark values of the KPIs and the current values of the KPIs.
The benchmark delta data enables you to learn the difference between the benchmark values
and the current values of the KPIs of each object being compared.

network quality. Data collected before relocation is used as the benchmark data. In this
way, network optimization can be performed effectively to ensure that network quality has
not been negatively impacted by relocation.
Data collected before and after network optimization is compared to optimize network
performance and evaluate network optimization results. Data collected before network
optimization is used as the benchmark data.

The PRS can preprocess historical data required for prediction. The preprocessing involves
checking the correctness of input data, supplementing missing data, replacing abnormal data,
and correcting traffic volume based on congestion ratio. The prediction object level is
categorized into NE level and cell level. The traffic trend analysis function enables you to predict
the traffic trend of three months or one year. To predict the traffic trend of the coming three
months, you need to prepare the historical traffic data of more than three months. Similarly, you
need to prepare the historical traffic data of more than one year and 33 days to predict the traffic
trend of the coming year.
