SON Plug and Play
/
The steps of BTS Plug and Play process• Configuration pre-planning• BTS Auto connection• BTS Auto configuration
•Automates the BTS network integration •Downloads all needed data like SW upgrades and initial parameter configuration from NetAct and makes BTS up and running in minutes.
•This one-touch self-commissioning deployment is industry unique simplifying the network setup markedly.
GSM/WCDMA

Automated Neighbor Relations (ANR)
/
The steps of ANR process• Measurement collection• Defining the creation/deletion criteria• Run optimization and activate the changes
• The ANR function for WCDMA automates and optimizes the adjacency optimization process •Support for Inter-System (2G-3G), MV adjacency •The decision about adjacency creation/deletion is based on real measurement information from the network•The automated neighbor relations removes a need for manual neighbor optimization, maintenance and subsequently errors from the process•NetAct Optimizer is used to perform the neighbor optimization

Minimization of drive test by location based performance analysis
/
The steps of interference optimization process• Measurement collection via RNC Collector• Measurement processing and geo-location by TraceViewer•Optimization and visualization via Optimizer
•Accurate real-time location based analysis for network performance and traffic distribution • Partial replacement of drive test measurement OPEX saving
•Localization algorithm is based on network statistics collected from RNC•Geo location of drop calls•Drop call history analysis including drops reasons•Traffic localization (coming in later releases)•Traffic type distribution (coming in later releases)
•Solution consist of several products: RNC Collector, TraceViewer and Optimizer

Power Saving Mode for BTS
/
The steps for Power Saving Mode for BTS process• Configuration of radio parameters and thresholds•>60 000 sites, 20% saving ~70 MUSD/year
•Cell shutdown during low load periods•It is ensured that the target layer has room for the calls before execution
•Cell is activated on need basis•The other layer cell load increases
•The shutdown and activation is possible for more than one frequency layer

FindingQuality perception improvement
from Bad to Poorresults in 1 minute longer calls.Estimated gain: 2.7 m$ yearly
UnderstandingNow, what does it mean:
Quality perception improvementfrom Bad to Poor?
It depends on location, e.g.:Metro: gap = 5 dBm (-90 to -85)Rural: gap = 6 dBm (-87 to -81)Correlation with RX_Qual must be done too
ActionImprove RX_Level per location
on cells below threshold
Note: Findings and conclusions are based on limited data from MTS UA trial. Wider data collection is needed for statistical verification.
