format collected by Ericsson TEMS.






 Project
 The Assistant analyzes data based on project management. A project contains
all the information required for data analysis, such as engineering parameters,
maps, legends, templates, themes, and DT logfiles. You can create projects
according to the test duration, test area, or service to be tested.
 DT logfile
 A DT logfile is the record of the data collected during a DT. The test data is
stored in one or multiple files during a DT. These files are called DT logfiles.
 Binning
 Binning refers to the method of combining multiple DT points that meet certain
conditions into one DT point according to the specified statistical rules such as
distance, time or grid.
 The Assistant supports the statistics of original DT points according to the
distance.

 Select an IE to be analyzed in the IE list: Choose the concern IE indicators, if the IE is
not be selected, it will not into the database, thus it can improve import efficiency.






 Location binning is binning by grid.


 The engineering parameter templates are stored in the \Assistant

V300R014\SystemConfig directory.
 Engineering parameters are classified into mandatory fields and optional fields.
 Mandatory LTE parameters: eNodeBID, eNodeBName, SectorID, Local CellID,
CellID, EARFCN, PCI, Longitude, Latitude, Azimuth. The other parameters are
optional.
 Before you import the engineering parameter data, find the sheet on which the
engineering parameters are located, and select the sheet.
 It is the same as the heading of the engineering parameter table and can be
automatically mapped. If the headings of the tables are different, manually correlate
them.
 If any exceptions occur during the import, Assistant generates a CSV file. You can
view the CSV file to locate the problems.

 Matching and checking are two important processes for importing engineering
parameters to the Assistant.
 Matching is to match mandatory fields and optional fields in engineering parameters
with those in the system.
 The mandatory fields must be totally matched. Otherwise, the corresponding
engineering parameters cannot be imported.
 The optional fields are matched according to the actual situation. If some
optional fields are not matched, the system displays a message to show the
unmatched fields during the import of engineering parameters. This does not
affect the import of engineering parameters
 Checking LTE engineering parameters is to check the validity of engineering
parameters.

 The system considers this error as an alarm, records it in the report.

 In the LTE Engineering Parameter dialog box, the rows of the values that the
check fails are marked by pink. For the mandatory fields, the values that the
check fails are marked by dark red. For the optional fields, the values that the
check fails are marked by yellow.
 The data in rows that are marked by dark red and yellow cannot be imported
into the system.
 Export engineering parameters to export the engineering parameters in .xls format for
future use.


 The Assistant supports the import of indoor maps, such as the indoor raster maps. It
supports the import of outdoor maps, such as MapInfo maps and raster maps.
 MapInfo map: The files supported by the MapInfo map are in .tab or .gst
(GeoSet) format. A GeoSet is a special type of workspace used for saving the
layer sequence, layer label information, and legend.
 Raster map: The raster map supported by the Assistant is in .tif, .bmp, .jpg,
.gif, or .png format.

 The layer control function enables you to add, delete, and change the mode of
displaying the layer so that you can view the presentation information on a map as
required.



 The Assistant can import the following types of DT logfiles:

 .gen DT logfiles collected by GENEX Probe V100R005, V200R002,
V200R003 and V300R005.
 .phu DT logfiles collected by GENEX PHU V100R002 and V100R003
 DT logfiles collected by TEMS 5.0, 7.0, or 8.0. The extension of the TEMS
filenames is .fmt or .fm*, where * indicates the version of the TEMS. For
example, the DT logfiles of TEMS 5.0 are in .fm5 format.
 Both the GENEX Probe and the GENEX PHU can slice DT logfiles automatically.
During the import of DT logfiles, the Assistant can automatically determine whether
the imported DT logfiles are sliced, and combine these automatically sliced DT
logfiles into one logfile for analysis.

 Click Auto to automatically create an analysis group , the progress bar Begin
background logic set analysis is displayed stating that the created analysis group is
being added. After the analysis group is added, the progress bar disappears and the
main window is displayed.
 Click Add to manually create an analysis group and perform step 2.
 By creating an analysis group, you can manage different types of test terminals in
each DT logfile according to the service type, test area, and test duration. The
functions of analyzing KPIs and generating reports are all dependent on analysis
groups. If analysis groups are not created on the Assistant, DT data cannot be
analyzed.

 On Assistant, you can create analysis groups by UE ID, device type, IMSI, and IMEI.

 After DT logfiles are imported, the DT data is not imported to the database of the
Assistant. The Assistant imports the DT data to the database, analyzes it, and
generates analysis reports only after the analysis task is executed.
 You can execute an analysis task for a specific analysis group. Alternatively, you can
execute an analysis task for all the analysis groups in a project at a time.

 Right-click the analysis group to be viewed and choose View Theme Result from the
shortcut menu. You can select View Theme Result only when the theme analysis
type is set and the cell radius is calculated.


 When analyzing multiple projects, you can click Add to add a maximum of 100
projects.
 The Assistant provides two automatic import modes, namely, time mode and text
mode.
 Assistant supports two automatic input mode: Time mode and Text mode
 Time mode: Start time is considered as the condition for triggering an
automatic import, whereas Time mode is considered as the number of times
that the automatic import is performed.
 Text mode: The OK.txt file is considered as the condition for triggering an
automatic import.In text mode, you need to manually upload the OK.txt file to
the corresponding folder. After identifying the OK.txt file, the Assistant starts to
analyze DT logfiles in the folder.

 In the Automatic Analysis Manager window, monitor the execution status of the
automatic analysis task, including the logfile name, logfile size, execution progress,

 This section describes how to generate a benchmark report. The benchmark report
can show the comparison analysis of the network data of different operators in
different scenarios so that operators evaluate the network quality by observing the
statistical rank of the network performance. In addition, the benchmark report can
show the comparison analysis of the data before and after the network optimization
so that operators learn the operating status of the swapped network by observing the
differences between the KPIs before and after the network optimization.
 LTE Benchmark Template: includes the comparison analysis results of common KPIs,
such as the Kilometer per Drop Service, RRC Setup Success Rate, and HO Attempt
Success Rate, and the presentation of important IEs on a map, in a chart, or in a table.
 The default path for saving the report is as follows: Path for saving the project
file\Report.



 This section describes how to create a custom report template. You can set the
contents to be displayed in the report, including the text, table, map, and chart. After a
custom report template is created and applied, each analysis group of the project
generates analysis reports according to the report template.
 You can use the tools from the create report toolbar to export the custom report
template in the xml format, it can be used conveniently for next time.



 You can add a batch of IEs to a report template at one time.
 You can set the items, including the map, legend, CDF/PDF chart, and statistics
table, for display in the report to be exported.
 You can set whether to display IEs on a same map.
 You can set parameters for certain IEs if necessary. For example, you can set
parameters for frequency-based IEs.



 If existing predefined IEs cannot meet service requirements, you can change the
threshold values for predefined IEs to meet the service requirements.

















 Usually, the cluster optimization test indicators also needs to provide the RSRP
distribution map, the SINR distribution map, DL PDCP Throughput distribution map
and UL PDCP Throughput distribution map.







 1. The red points indicate the sampling points affected by over coverage; the green
points indicate the normal sampling points (not affected by over coverage); the gray
points indicate the sampling points outside the serving area of the cell. The red and
green points indicate the drive test points where the drilled cell serves as the serving
cell.
 2. You can click any sampling point in the Map pane to view cell connections. The
sampling points are connected to the serving cell with solid lines and to the
neighboring cells with dotted lines. The neighboring cell measurement information
can be displayed in the correlated pane. The circle on the map indicates the coverage
and the horizontal lobe of the cell. The chart on the map shows the step statistics.
The statistical results of multiple steps can be provided, such as the sampling points
affected by over coverage and normal sampling points.


 Phenomena: UEs frequently perform cell reselections or handovers between identical

cells.
 Analysis: Analysis can be based on PCI distribution. According to PCI distribution
shown in the figure, PCIs alternate in two or more colors if there is no dominant cell.
 Solution: According to the coverage plan, cell 113 is a dominant cell covering the area
and cell 102 also has strong signals. To ensure handovers between cells 113 and
102 at crossroads, increase tilts in cell 102.
