All users, including indoor and outdoor, motionless and moving, voice and data
users involved in optimizating data collection. CDT are stored in dedicated NDS.
MR tells the wireless environment of key events such as handover, call drop,
hang up;
Associated log find the reason of failed service through abnormal signaling,
contributing to background location of user complaint;
CDT tells call related information, such as terminal capability, call time, called
number.
KPI analysis based on user and terminal instead of NE performance enables to
fast locate user complaints, monitor terminal quality and improve user
experience.
The detailed scene information is recovered through detailed annotation of
millisecond signaling and secondary decoding tree;
The call abnormal signaling is visually displayed through graphical signaling
display and millisecond data;
MR is rendered in GIS through Cell ID + RTT algorithm to provide geography info
of key event and make user behavior analysis.
Quasi real-time (10 minutes when the fastest) VIP user CDT exportation for
analysis;
IMSI and service time is made as the input of user call detail retrieval;
Wireless environment of each service link is reproduced.

 The Advantage of ZTE NetMAX Compared with > Internal Only

Traditional Network Optimization Tool

NetMAX Base on DT/CQT Based on OMC Performance Data
CDT from users all over the network,
DT: The data acquired on site is accurate. The network performance trend can be
reflects the actual experience of the
network, contributes to problem location, The road coverage is available; learned from a macroscopic view;

expense and time of DT decrease;
CQT: The indoor coverage is available; The bad cell can be analyzed and
Advantage

User complaint is handled conveniently

and user experience is grasped thanks to
recorded historical use event, user location
The complaints can be used to solve fault macroscopic situation can be learned;

and replay;
Mass data of MR and the unique data
and optimize network. OMC alarm serves for finding the Node B

problems;
CDT VIP user analysis serves the purpose of
learning user behavior trace and improving
service quality;
There is both single user analysis based on
DT/CQT and multi users analysis based
IMSI similar to that of OMC.

There is location deviation. DT,CQT cant get all users experience, Performance data is difficult to be
especially the indoor user experience, refined and cant make user level
more than 60% of all the users;
Disadvantage

DT test range is limited to passable area analysis;

and accessible buildings. The workload
and expense rise with the increase of
Node Bs. And there is some distance
between the true users;
CQT cant get the whole network
situation and is time-consuming, energy-
consuming;
Its hard to reproduce the complaints.
Usually problem cant be located
correctly;
The optimization focuses on index and
performance instead of true user
experience of the network where
carriers are really interested in.

ZTE NetMAX Case I - Weak Coverage Analysis

Problem
How to handle the ever growing DT
cost for network evaluation?
How to evaluate the area that is
difficult to make a DT test?
Solution
Using NetMAX, RSCP, Ec/Io, TxPower,
BLER distribution statistics are
displayed geographically to locate the
weak coverage area intuitively.

ZTE NetMAX Case II - Pilot Pollution Analysis
Problems:
When therere many strong pilot
signals but none is strong enough, its
pilot pollution;
Checked from test UE, the pilot signal
is strong but RSCP, Ec/Io of each cell is
weak.
Pilot Pollution Distribution
Pilot Pollution Report
> Internal Only
Solution:
The pilot pollution is identified and related
report is generated based on the absolute
pilot strength, the difference among every
pilot signal and pilot pollution percentage
got through CPICH RSCP, RSCP & Ec/Io,
RSCP & Diff Ec/Io algorithm.

ZTE NetMAX Case III - Call Drop Analysis

Problems: Solution:
There is call drop and reason unknown. Call procedure is displayed
geographically and wireless signal is
checked by NetMAX call drop
analysis function.

The place with call drop happening is displayed geographically, and then double-click the
place the signal appears to show clearly that call drop is caused by weak coverage.

ZTE NetMAX Case VI Neighbor Cell Optimization

Problems:
In China Unicom Shenzhen, it is found
the KPI of one RNC is not very good
due to neighbor cell problems.
Solution:
With the NetMAX neighbor cell
optimization function, 519 neighbor cells
are deleted and 412 neighbor cells are
added.

The comparison before and after optimization is shown below:

Phase Time Soft HO Virtual Virtual RAB Setup CS Call Soft HO
Times Handover Handover Success Drop Success
Times % Rate Rate Rate
Before 20140304- 85,643,149 12,635,540 12.9% 99.89% 1.41% 34.3%
20140308
After 20140309- 84,446,035 7,229,796 7.9% 99.9% 1.2% 35.36%
20140310

It can be seen clearly that after neighbor cell optimization, virtual handover is
decreased and network KPI is improved.

Problem: Solution:

frequently in a specific site, and 1000 NetMAX terminal statistics analysis
times happen to a specific user, but
there is no complaint.

After analysis its found that the user is using unknown PAD which supports Wifi but cant set the
APN automatically. Therefore the PAD keeps on connecting network and results in high data
connection drop rate. Carriers are recommended to set APN automatically after finding the USIM
card and the problem is solved.

CSL, NetMAX in Hong Kong

CSL

Innovative NetMAX Tool Network KPI Improvement

CSL is the largest operator in Hong Kong with 4
million subscribers.
NetMAX service helps CSL guarantee the network
KPI and subscribers perception
Average network throughput is 2~3 times more than
other operators
High quality voice service
Better customers experience by improving the E2E
latency

I think it is a good tool for improving customer experience. It can reflect the actual radio performance(e.g.
Ec/Io) experienced by any particular customers (especially for who has made the complaints), it could provide
good inputs for further optimization.
