Module Objectives
At the end of this module the trainee should be able to: Describe the measurements needed for Optimizer Outline the measurement setup and collection process
Mobile Measurements
The measurements needed in Optimizer How to manage BCCH Allocation List (BAL) changes?
CIP and ARP measurements if equal or less than 32 BCCH frequencies to be measured CIP and ARP measurements if more than 32 BCCH frequencies to be measured
The usage of mobile measurements in Optimizer

Mobile measurements are used in Optimizer to generate Interference Matrix to generate timing advance histogram Interference matrix is used for - automatic frequency optimisation - automatic adjacency optimisation Interference matrices are stored in Optimizer database and not automatically cleaned.
Mobile Measurements in GSM

Defined Adjacent Cell (DAC) measurement collects data from cells defined as adjacent cells Channel Finder (CF) measurement collects data from nonadjacent cells Traffic measurements are typically active by default The cells that use the same BCCH channel as the serving cell cannot be measured and are defined as Blind Spots

Measurement Time
Minimum measurement period depends on the traffic but should be at least 2-3 days Less traffic => longer measurement period More measurement rounds means longer measurement time During the measurements and optimisation there must be NO CHANGES to the NW
Preparations
During the measurements the BCCH Allocation Lists (BALs) need to contain every BCCH frequency in the network Maximum length (theoretical) of the BA list is 32 Common BCCH and WCDMA neighbors will reduce the theoretical maximum BAL length by one each (down to 30) If there are more than 32 (or 31, or 30) BCCH frequencies in the network the measurements need to be run in several cycles of equal length but with different BA lists
How to measure all BCCHs

10 20 30
25 neighbour cell BCCH frequencies + serving cell frequency
(max) 6 free places
If the network has less than 32 BCCHs : create a double BAL If the network has more than 32 BCCHs : rotate the BAL lists
How to get the measurements
Less than 32 BCCH frequencies
More than 32 BCCH frequencies
Double BAL for CIP, ARP BAL rotation tool for CIP, ARP

Using BAL Rotation (1/18) Select BSCs from the Navigator
Using BAL Rotation (2/18) More than 32 BCCH frequencies to be measured
Using BAL Rotation (3/18) More than 32 BCCH frequencies to be measured
Using BAL Rotation (4/18) To measure more than 32 frequencies using CF and DAC measurements BAL Rotation tool is needed First you must remove old BAL objects if any exist.
Using BAL Rotation (5/18)
Using BAL Rotation (6/18) Start the BAL Rotation tool to begin creating BALs

Define the weekdays for measurements (for example, Monday, Tuesday). Define measurement interval in minutes (1 440 minutes equals 24 hours). Define the start time and the stop time (00:00 to 24:00). Additional parameters are I/C thresholds for BSCs (lower=-18, higher=0).
Using CM Operations Manager provision the backup plan that was created previously (in order to bring back the original configuration in the network).
Exercise (CIP, ARP)
