5 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Adjacency Optimisation Prerequisites

• Invalid adjacencies fixed

• Antennas defined for every cell

• Optional: Mandatory and forbidden constraints have been created

• KPIs available

6 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Starting Adjacency Optimization Tool 1

• Check the KPI date and summarisation level

• Select target objects from the Navigator, Map, Browser or a scope

7 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Starting Adjacency Optimisation Tool 2

• ADJW should be selected for bidirectional optimization with ADJGs

8 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Summary Table

• Check the summary for the scope

• WCDMA Cells and All Adjacencies can be checked also

9 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Rules

• Rules can be used to

– Make existing adjacencies consistent with constraints

– Create all missing intra-site adjacencies

– Make all unidirectional adjacencies bidirectional (requires “Use bidirectional optimization” activated in “Common” tab)

10 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Common Options

• Bidirectional deletion of an adjacency requires ONE bad value in both directions

• Changes between Scope and buffer must be enabled if ADJWs need to be deleted and BSCs are not in scope

11 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Deletion Options

• Deleting outgoing adjacencies to foreign target cells can be allowed

• It is recommended not to delete adjacencies to the same site cells

• Adjacencies without measurements will have 0 values for KPIs and are deleted if selected

• It is recommended to delete and create separately -> Switch off the tick box in creation

• Set/check common options for all adjacency types and individual options per type

12 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

ADJS Deletion Parameters

• KPI need to be selected before the threshold can be modified

• With multiple selections an adjacency is deleted if value is bad

13 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

ADJG Deletion Parameters

• Bidirectional deletion requires at least one bad value in both directions

14 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

ADJW Deletion Parameters

• To delete ADJWs together with ADJGs that have bad KPI values

– Define zero (0) value for Theta Angle

– Use bidirectional optimization (in Common tab)

– Changes enabled between scope and buffer (in Common tab)

• Note: Uni-directional ADJWs are also deleted in this case

15 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

ADJI Deletion Parameters

18 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Saving the Results

• The results must be saved to the plan

• Save is possible only

– to the plan that was open whenAdjacency Optimization started

– to a new plan that is createdafter pressing Save

• After the save the results can belisted to Browser or shownon the Map

19 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Exercise

• Check and set Common parameters

• Set Deletion parameters and start the optimisation

– Change parameters if needed and run optimisation again

• Save the results into your plan

21 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Additional Prerequisites for Creation

• Templates and template assignment rules exist

22 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Creating ADJS based on DSR (1/4)

• The licenses for the measurements needs to be in place first

( RAN189, RAN1189, RAN1191 and RAN1245)

• FMCS Object needs to be modified (DSRepBasedSHO should be set as 1 or 2)

• Autodef SHO and Autodef SHO DSR needs to be started by using the Administration of Measurements tool

• All ADJDs needs to be deleted manually prior the creation of ADJSs

WCDMA Adjacency Optimisation

• Deleting adjacencies

• Creating ADJS based on DSR

• Creating ADJS, ADJG and ADJI based on rotations

– creating the plans for candidate rotations

– creating the final plan for adjacency creation

27 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Creating ADJS, ADJI and ADJG using rotation (1/6)

• Only existing ADJS, ADJG, and ADJI adjacencies can be measured

• Candidate adjacencies must be created to the network

• Maximum list length limitations must be obeyed– Only part of the possible candidates can be created at once

• To measure all possibilities the candidates have to be rotated

• In each rotation new candidates are created and old ones deleted

• Example:– Three days of measurements

– 3 rotation plans, each one provisioned in the night

– The 4th plan deletes the candidates of the last rotation

28 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

• Optimizer will not create candidates for a cell if

– The adjacency lists are already full

– The maximum number of WCDMA adjacencies is reached

– Allowing collisions is NOT enabled and▪ There are existing Scrambling Code collisions

▪ There are existing BCCH or BCCH-BSIC collisions

▪ New candidates would cause collisions

• Deletion plan could be implemented before starting the rotations

• There cannot be a deleted adjacency in plan without actual adjacency object in CM database

– Because of this earlier plans must always be provisioned before the next rotation plan is exported from Optimizer DB to CM DB

• If the traffic in the NW is low the KPI coverage may not be very high after just one day of rotations

Creating ADJS, ADJI and ADJG using rotation (2/6)

29 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Creating ADJS, ADJI and ADJG using rotation (3/6)

30 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

• Do NOT select Use Bidirectional Optimisation

• Select Enable Changes between Scope and Buffer

• Check the maximum List Lengths

• Verify that nothing is selected in Deletion

31 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Creating ADJS, ADJI and ADJG using rotation (5/6)

• Recommended: Do NOT enable creating collisions

• Enable Include deleted adjacencies into rotation list

• Select #of measurement days+1 for Maximum number of plans in rotation process

32 © Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / PLe / 20.3.2010For public use – IPR applies

Creating ADJS, ADJI and ADJG using rotation (6/6)

• Maximum pool list length is the maximum amount of adjacencies which are rotated

• Pool Creation Threshold value is the Priority value (Distance, Theta)

• Rotation Slot Length is the maximum number of candidates per cell for each rotation plan
