Customizing KPIs
The PRS allows users to define counter formulas by performing combined operations on
original KPIs, system KPIs, and predefined KPIs. The operations include addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. Users can also define conditional counters such
as worst cell ratio and busiest cell ratio by using counter formulas containing if, min,
max, count, avg, and sum conditions.
Customizing busy-hour rules
The PRS allows users to customize busy-hour rules and identify busy hours based on
specific scenarios.
Customizing reports
The PRS allows users to customize reports such as simple reports, comparison reports,
combined reports, and database-based query reports. Users can also modify, delete, move,
import, and export these custom reports as required.
Customizing report formats
By correlating reports with Excel templates, the PRS allows users to export report query
results using the predefined Excel templates. Users can also edit reports by using various
Excel functions, such as fonts, panes, formulas, charts, and macros.
Generating and delivering reports on schedule
The PRS automatically generates reports based on the preset time and period. The
reports generated on schedule are delivered to a specified email box or FTP server. In
this way, users can obtain the reports by receiving emails or viewing files on the FTP
server.
counters, checks for risks and faults, and then reports performance threshold alarms to notify
users of risks and faults. Therefore, the O&M efficiency is improved.
When the NE performance results meet the trigger conditions for threshold alarms, the
PRS generates threshold alarms, and reports the alarms to the U2000. The performance
data for triggering threshold alarms is reported every 60 minutes or 24 hours. The object
dimension can be raw object or aggregation object.
Users can check whether performance data exceeds thresholds based on threshold and
incremental alarms.
The algorithm principle for threshold alarms is as follows: When the value of a KPI
exceeds the preset threshold, a threshold alarm is generated. When the value is less than
the preset threshold, the alarm is cleared.
The algorithm principle for incremental alarms is as follows: When the offset (absolute
value or percentage) of a KPI in the current and latest periods exceeds the preset
threshold, an incremental alarm is generated.
2 Architecture
The PRS consists of the PRS server, PRS clients, and networking devices. The PRS software
consists of the PRS server software and PRS client software. The server software runs on the
PRS server, and the client software runs on a PRS client.

Component Description
Trace Server The Trace Server, an optional component in the U2000 system, collects
and filters CHR, MR, and trace data of eNodeBs, CHR and trace data
of NodeBs, CHR and MR data of RNCs, signaling logs of VIP
subscribers, CS CHR data, PS CHR data, and PS MR data of BSCs,
CHR data of USNs, provides the data for upper-layer applications such
as the EBC, FARS, Nastar, SONMaster, and PRS.
PRS server The PRS server can be divided into the following categories according
to different application scenarios:
Performance statistics server: Collects performance data and
configuration data from the U2000, parses the data, and generates
analysis results.
Service visibility server: Collects service data of the MBB network
from the TSP, parses the data, and generates analysis results.
PRS client The PRS client software provides graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to
display the analysis results intuitively. You can log in to the PRS server
from the Web-based PRS client and perform the corresponding
operations after successfully login.
and migrating servers and storage and network devices to the cloud platform using the cloud
computing technology. As cloud nodes are extremely low-cost, device costs and power
consumption decrease significantly. Automatic and centralized management of the cloud
improves management and operation efficiency, and reduces OPEX. Compared with the
traditional system, the universality of the cloud increases resource usage more significantly.
Shortened deployment time
On telecom networks with the virtualized architecture, site deployment and capacity
expansion become extremely simple and do not require complex site surveys and hardware
installation. As for service deployment, you only need to install and commission
corresponding software after applying for sufficient cloudization resources (computing,
storage, and network resources) as required. Compared with the traditional telecom NE
deployment, the whole process saves about 80% time.
The PRS provides the visualization of network performance and service usage, which
facilitate network operation and maintenance.

3.3 MBB Service Visibility-RAN
Table 3-1 Application scenarios of the RAN Statistics Performance Visibility feature
Based on the statistics on the traffic consumed by web browsers, telecom operators can
identify the leading web browsers used by subscribers, and can further cooperate with
the vendors of the leading web browsers to benefit from service providers (SPs) by
providing differentiated services or jointly deploying a network.
VoIP Call Statistics
The PRS provides the voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service analysis function for
analyzing usage of the VoIP service on networks to help telecom operators evaluate the
impact of the VoIP service on the traditional voice service and provide reference
information for telecom operators to make decisions on services.
Cell Bandwidth Insight
The PRS uses Gn convergence nodes to collect statistics on network-wide data rates
instead of subscriber experience, and provides subscriber's experience data rate in each
cell under each RAT. In addition, the PRS calculates the target data rate based on the
service model used on a live network, helping users determine the distribution of
high-value regions where subscriber experience is poor and helping telecom operators'
network construction department to make periodic dynamic planning. This enables
telecom operators to make the best use of their budget and improve network
competitiveness, thereby improving subscriber loyalty.
Integrated Service Statistics
This feature is an enhanced feature that is developed based on traditional protocols and
application reports. Based on the differentiated service rules and charging control rules
for telecom operators' proprietary services and third-party services, the PRS analyzes the
traffic, number of subscribers, quality, and standard bandwidth of the proprietary
services. This helps users manage such services conveniently and quickly.
Email SPAM User Statistics
The PRS collects statistics on and displays the TopN connections used by all subscribers
to send emails and the TopN blocked connections for sending emails in lists. This helps
telecom operators analyze the subscribers who send a large number of emails within a
short period of time and cause network congestion, thereby evaluating the gateway's
function of blocking emails when a large number of emails sent within a short period of
time cause network congestion.
Rating Group Traffic Statistics
This feature enables the PRS to collect statistics on traffic trends by rating group (RG),
thereby helping telecom operators determine whether the RG classification rules are
proper and adjust improper RG classification rules to increase revenue. This feature also
enables the PRS to check whether all traffic is charged based on CDRs, thereby helping
telecom operators reduce income losses caused by the traffic that is not charged.
Provisioning Event
This feature enables the PRS to access the Provision EDR data sources of the UPCC to
obtain subscription event records. The PRS allows users to query the subscription event
records and trend report of a specified subscriber within 90 days before the current date.
Policy Control
This feature enables the PRS to access the rule-based EDR data sources of the UPCC to
obtain the records for the events triggered by subscriber policies. The PRS allows users
to query the records for the events triggered by subscriber policies for a specified
subscriber within 90 days before the current date, helping telecom operators handle
subscriber complaints.
Per Subscriber Quota Usage
This feature enables the PRS to access UPCC USDR data sources for querying the
historical daily quota consumption of a specified subscriber. Telecom operators can
specify any subscriber and query the quota consumption and remaining quota of the
subscriber within a specified time period per day. This provides a basis for analyzing
quota usage.
User Group Identification
This feature enables the PRS to collect statistics on and analyze the UFDR data reported
by the Huawei GGSNs and identify five types of user groups on the UMTS/GSM
networks: UMTS only users, UMTS users falling back to GSM, GSM users using UMTS
terminals, GSM users with high PS activities, and GSM users with low PS activities.
With this feature, the PRS displays the quantity, traffic, data transmission duration, and
proportion of various user groups in pie charts and tables, and supports TopN cell
ranking. Geographical distribution of each type of user group on the networks is also
displayed on the GIS map, helping users identify UMTS network problems and explore
the value space of GSM-to-UMTS user migration.
VoLTE Quality Visibility-PS CN
In a single-EPC scenario, this feature enables the PRS, based on USN CHRs and UGW
UFDRs, to evaluate and demarcate VoLTE service quality in the entire network, NE, cell
group, and specified cell dimensions and to display KPIs related to accessibility,
retainability, and integrity in the GIS. In an eRAN+EPC scenario, this feature enables the
PRS, based on USN CHRs, UGW UFDRs, and eRAN CHRs, to perform joint evaluation
and demarcation in the specified cell dimension.
PS CN Custom Traffic Report
This feature allows users to customize reports, and set filter criteria for data sources and
the report generation format to meet report customization requirements.
HTTP 2.0 Traffic Report
This feature describes how to view PRS HTTP2.0 traffic distribution on the traffic
distribution and trend by encryption type or protocol version. The query results help
operators assess networks.
QUIC Report
The PRS system allows operators to view the proportion and trend of QUIC or
non-QUIC traffic and learn QUIC traffic growth, providing reference for deploying
charging and control features later.
U-vMOS Report
The U-vMOS feature can gather statistics on distribution of unencrypted video quality,
video playing duration, and resolution on the live network. It allows you to analyze the
distribution from the perspectives of the entire network, radio access technologies
(RATs), and host.
VoLTE quality evaluation and geographic visibility at the area, cell, and grid levels and
joint analysis in the indoor and outdoor coverage, packet loss, and handover dimensions
help users identify causes for voice quality problems on the eRAN side.
WTTx Suite
The WTTx Suite feature offers a complete solution for WTTx service O&M and
provides the following functions: WTTx map, WTTx post-evaluation, CPE log query,
abnormal CPE analysis and northbound allocation data interconnection. This feature
involves the WTTx theme of the PRS and the LTM (Light Terminal Manager). The LTM
collects logs from CPEs. The PRS obtains CPE logs from the LTM for post-evaluation,
CPE log query, and abnormal CPE analysis.
WTTx map
− With this function, the PRS displays the allocation capability on grid-level maps.
After you click any grid on a map, the PRS displays number allocation analysis
results. Address searching is supported.
− This function supports two number allocation methods: number allocation by
coverage and number allocation by package rate. For number allocation by
coverage, the PRS checks whether CPE number allocation is allowed based on the
RSRP of a grid and further checks whether indoor or outdoor CPE number
allocation is allowed if CPE number allocation is allowed. For number allocation by
package rate, the PRS checks whether CPE number allocation is allowed for each
package rate based on the RSRP and capability throughput of a grid, further
determines CPE models for number allocation if CPE number allocation is allowed,
and provides the number of remaining CPEs for each CPE package in each cell.
Simulated data and MRs are data sources for number allocation analysis. For
number allocation by coverage, if MRs are unavailable, the PRS uses simulated
data for number allocation analysis; if MRs are available, the PRS corrects
simulated data based on MRs and uses the obtained data for number allocation
analysis. For number allocation by package rate, the PRS uses the MR of each grid
for number allocation analysis and uses simulated data for number allocation
analysis for grids without MRs.
− The PRS can display areas with number allocation forbidden and cells with number
allocation frozen due to heavy load.
− Some telecom operators have their own number allocation systems and want to
integrate number allocation analysis data of WTTx Suite into their own systems.
The northbound allocation data interconnection function allows the PRS to export
number allocation analysis results to files and actively transmit files to the number
allocation systems of telecom operators using SFTP. Based on number allocation
analysis results, telecom operators can further improve their number allocation
systems.
WTTx post-evaluation
− With this function, the PRS analyzes the impact of WTTx services on the entire
network and user experience of CPEs after number allocation.
− With this function, the PRS analyzes the percentage of CPEs whose throughput is
less than the target throughput, number of CPEs whose RSPR is less than the
threshold, number of allocated CPEs, number of cells with number allocation frozen
due to heavy load, ratio of the average cell-level throughput for WTTx services to
the target throughput. The LTM is required for analyzing the percentage of CPEs
whose throughput is less than the target throughput, number of CPEs whose RSPR
is less than the threshold, and number of allocated CPEs.
− The PRS collects statistics on causes for poor CPE experience. The possible causes
include heavy cell load, weak signal coverage, poor SINR, and CPE fault.
− The PRS analyzes the WBB and MBB traffic trends for each cell and provides
correlation analysis for RRC-CONNECTED UEs. The correlation analysis covers
the number of CPEs, throughput, traffic volume, and downlink PRB utilization.
− The PRS provides abnormal CPE analysis for identifying suspected offline CPEs
and CPE location changes.
− The PRS allows you to view the status change trend (including the throughput,
RSRP, SINR, and detailed log information) of any CPE and its resource change
trend (including the downlink PRB utilization and number of RRC_CONNECTED
UEs).
− The PRS also provides automatic post-evaluation to analyze load of each cell every
day. The PRS identifies cells with heavy resource load (including the PRB
utilization, CPU load, S1 bandwidth utilization, and number of
RRC_CONNECTED UEs) and freezes number allocation for such cells.
CA Feature Gain Visibility – FDD/TDD
This feature allows telecom operators to evaluate gains after LTE CA enabling and CA
support conditions of UEs and check main CA failure scenarios. With this feature,
operators can evaluate gains after the LTE CA feature is enabled, simplify CA O&M, and
improve efficiency.
LTE UE Capability Visibility – FDD/TDD
This feature provides the distribution reports of LTE UEs by category, protocol version,
RAT, frequency band, and feature, helps telecom operators learn UE capabilities in terms
of the category, protocol version, RAT, frequency band, and feature. Based on UE
capabilities, telecom operators can determine whether to deploy a certain feature, such as
CA and VoLTE sub-feature (including ROHC, TTI Bundling, and Semi Persistent).
MBB-online@PRS
With this feature, users can learn network conditions on the whole network and in key
areas using a pad anytime and anywhere.

5 Technical Specifications
The management capacity of each server is measured by equivalent NE, equivalent subscriber, or
equivalent traffic. For details about the conversion relationship, see section "Description of Management
Capability" in iManager 16.1 Configuration Principle(ATAE Cluster&IBM PC Server). If any algorithm
for calculating is not included in the document, contact Huawei technical support.
The number of equivalent NEs is obtained by converting the number of physical NEs.
The number of equivalent subscribers is obtained by converting the number of simultaneously
attached users (SAUs).
The volume of equivalent traffic is obtained by converting the amount of traffic on the live network.
Table 5-3 PRS virtual system management capacity (RAN service visibility)
The management capacity is obtained based on the standard traffic model. For details about the traffic
model, see iManager PRS V100R017 Management Capacity Specifications.
The management capacity rely on the features to be deployed, so you can only generate the
configuration based on the management capacity and the features to be deployed.
The TSP is used to collect user-plane log data on the GGSN or P-GW, control-plane log data
on the SGSN or MME, and subscriber subscription log data on the PCRF. Then the TSP
preprocesses the data to meet PRS requirements.
