Export Actual Default Parameters from the OSS through a xml file, for e.g.
Use always latest default values (based on latest studies)
Import xml file into a Database using for e.g. CM Plan Editor.
Compare Planned Default Sets with Actual Default Parameters in the
network.
Mark exceptions for each default parameter
Show differences
Select changes to be done
Create dat file or xml file for correction

Benchmarking KPIs used
Bencmarking KPIs
Is recommended for reporting
Release specific
Customer KPIs
Almost all operators have operator specific KPIs.
Important KPIs because optimization is done for customer
Limitations
SW Release limitation
There might be errors in results if wrong KPIs will be used
Feature limitations
There might be errors in results if wrong KPIs will be used
For example if HR is not used

OSS counter and CS KPI analysis gives exact picture about network
performance. The analysis of CS KPIs can be based on the following list:
Accessibility
SDCCH access KPIs
TCH, SDCCH Blocking KPIs
HO failure due to blocking
Retainability
TCH, SDCCH drop KPIs
Total HO failure, HO drops
Quality
UL/DL Quality KPIs
Traffic share

Strong points +
Good co-operation between network optimization and customer service department is
necessary
Helps to find not known problems
Helps to confirm known problems
Might pinpoint location of problem
Reports indoor coverage holes
May trigger fast decision from management in case heavy users are involved
Problems with specific mobiles
Problems of mobile configuration
Weak points
E.g.: Errors in the numbering plan can only be detected from Customer Complaints!
