Introduction

This document describes the procedure for the migration of site/sites from one BSC/s to another BSC/s.

BTS Site Migration Procedure Prerequisite for starting migration activity

An approved CR should be assigned to your group, which should have cell wise migration plan in the mutually agreed format. Activity Notification by SPOC should have been sent. Drive Test Engineer contact details should be available. Required RBS SW should be available in target BSC/s. For new BSC/s a SNT should be checked with TXN NMC team. If migration is planned in continuation, ensure that the deletion of TG/subord data has been done after last migration. (Applicable only if, source BSC/s involved in the last migration is/are the target BSC/s in the current migration). A mail should be sent to FO-BSS-TL/PW&C-M for freezing of configuration on the involved sites/cells. Migration data sheet should be ready and sent to all the concerned i.e. FO-BSS, BO-NSS, TXN, FM etc. Cmd files of RXMOE, RXMOI, RXMOC, RXTCI, RLSTC (Halt), and CBCH Log should be ready. Planned area should be ready in C.N.A. Permission from the Node Surveillance Engineer should be taken before the start of activity. Migration activity should start only if all the above prerequisites are fixed.

Activities recommended to be completed in daytime

Activities in Source/Target BSC Prepare Migration data sheet with all required details in specific format and crosscheck. Check required RBS SW availability in target BSC. Take CBCH logs. Create DIP/s in target BSC with proper VC12 values; inform the same to transmission engineer. Prepare command files for RXMOE, RXMOI, RXMOC, RXTCI and RLSTC (Halt/Active). Create TG (see rxmsp: moty=rxotg), CF, IS, CON, TF, ODP with command RXMOI: MO=______; Do RXAPI: MO=_____; to attach devices to new TG/s. (Caution!!!) Create TRX, TX, RX and TS with command RXMOI: MO=______; Run C.N.A. adjust in source/target BSC(s). Perform general checkup of source and target BSCs. (allip, plldp, caclp, nsstp, syrip: survey, dbtsp: tab=sactions, ntstp: snt=all, rlcrp: cell=all, rlstp: cell=halted). Activity in C.N.A. (Planned Area Creation) Open C N A

File New Area Planned Area - Enter name of planned area. File Open Planned Area My Own Select the area created by you and open. View BSC Select Source BSC. View Cells Internal All. Select any one cell to be migrated and go to Edit Move Cells. In Move Cells window click Insert Source BSC window pops up; select cells to be migrated and press Apply. Select all cells and press Target BSC Select Target BSC. Click on Move. Check status shows removing cells, creating cells and copying relations. Wait for process to complete. When status shows Completed, check Report it should show No Errors Close the move cells window. In source BSC check all DELETED cells No other cells, except those to be migrated, should show DELETED. In target BSC cells show [NEW] status Change the LAC of every [NEW] cell, one by one, carefully. Cross check after completion Check Neighbors To mutual neighbor relations and CGI data in all NEW cells of target BSC. Now planned area is ready to Update.

Migration Activity (Start Time-As per CR)

Activities in Source / Old BSC Perform and log general checkup of source and target BSCs. (allip, plldp, caclp, nsstp, syrip: survey, dbtsp: tab=sactions, ntstp: snt=all, rlcrp: cell=all, rlstp: cell=halted). Run the RLSTC cmd file/s for halting all the involved cells. (Important for N/W Avail.) Inform TXN NMC Engineer in parallel to start configuration change activity at TXN end. In source BSC/s Enable Output Logging and give RXBLI: MO=______, SUBORD, FORCE; Block all the TGs and subordinates in old BSC. RXESE: MO=______, SUBORD; Put all TGs and subordinates out of service. RXMOE: MO=_____; End all MO under that TG for all the sites to be migrated. (Run RXMOE Script file for TRX, TX, RX, TS) RXMSP: MO=______, SUBORD; Check and ensure that all TRX, TX, RX, TS has been deleted. If any subord left, delete the same and keep a note of it to further create in target BSC/s. Activity in C.N.A. (Planned Area Execution) Open C N A File Open Planned Area My Own Select the area created by you and open. File New Job Update Job Give Unique Job Name Action on fault Continue and then press New. File Jobs My Own now observe the status of the job updated by you i.e. check Active / Completed / Failed. Run Planned area once more. Check all the failed commands from the planned area report and take the corrective action if required. Run Planned area once more. Activities in Target / New BSC Run the RLSTC cmd file/s for halting all the involved cells.

In Target/New BSC/s Enable Output Logging/Delayed Response in Separate Area and give RXMOC: MO=RXOTRX______, CELL; Run RXMOC Script to attach TRX to TG and Cell. RXMOC: MO=RXOTX______, CELL; Run RXMOC Script to attach TX to TG and Cell. RXTCI: MO=RXOTG__, CELL__, CHGR__; Run RXTCI Script to attach TG to Cell/CHGR.

Again Run Planned Area. Deblock VC12 Ports, Devices and DIP/s. DTSTP: DIP=____; Check the status of DIP/s. Enable Output Logging and give RXESI: MO=RXOTG______, SUBORD; bring all TG and subords in service, check the loading result in delayed response area, if CF shows loaded, its ok, otherwise take the necessary action according to the status of CF. RXBLE: MO=RXOTG______, SUBORD; Deblock all TG and subords. Run the RLSTC cmd file/s for making active all the involved cells. Ask Drive Test Engineer for conducting Drive Test and share the results. Perform the following checks now RLSTP: CELL____; Check the status of all cells. RLCRP: CELL____; Check the operational status of all cells. MGCEP: BSC= ___; Check all the involved cells are defined in the target MSC. Check in C.N.A. Neighbors To for mutual neighbor relations should exist. Activate CBCH on all the involved cells. ALLIP; Delete all the involved TG / Subord in the OLS/Source BSC. Update the CR status. Get the clearance from N/W Surveillance Engineer on All Sites Up and No Active Alarms. Inform to all the concerned person thru mail using fixed distribution list.

At a glance: - Create MO in New BSC without RXMOC and RXTCI - Delete MO from Old BSC but not RXTCE - Run CNA, update will fail in new BSC - Run RXMOC (TX and TRX) and RXTCI in new BSC - Run the CNA again.
