RESTRICTIONS/LIMITATIONS

For existing SUN SF V880 and SF E4800 customers, as a consequence of the OAM06.0

feature 33421 - Co-resident FCPS Main Servers, the WMS Main Server capacity is the

following:

SF V880 4 CPU: a maximum of 550 BTS and 3.3k cells are supported per Main

Server

SF E4800 8 CPU: a maximum of 1600 BTS and 9.6K cells are supported per Main

Server

SF E4800 12 CPU: a maximum of 2400 BTS and 14.4k cells are supported per

Main Server

OAM07.1 is the last software release to support the SUN SF V880 server and the SUN

SF E4800 server.

The SF V250 server is no more supported in OAM07.1

ENGINEERING IMPACTS

From OAM06.0 on, a WMS Main server Alarm History waiting queue defense

mechanism is implemented. This mechanism will discard alarms, under rare

conditions, if the waiting queue grows too large to prevent out of memory errors.

Linked to the behavior of the SUN UltraSparc T2 CPUs (high level of multi-threading

but at lower frequency than previous generation of SUN Sparc CPU), some

configuration management operations on large RNC configurations (like e.g. build

offline) may take a longer time than on the SF V890 server.

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

The goal of this feature is to have a more flexible solution for the backup and

restore of essential and non essential data on local tape drive.

Instead of doing of backup / restore of all modules of essential / non essential data,

the improvement will allow to backup on demand all, or a selection of modules, and

restore them in the same way.

The modules chosen are the ones which might change regularly due to customer

operations. For example the selection applies to WICL development, historical fault

browser data, audit trail data, SDA data.

This flexibility can be used for the implementation of Disaster Recovery solutions.

The explicit selective list is:

SRE: NE software loads

databases

jobserver database (access job history, details of CM operations on the network)

notification server database (OA&M applications notifications)

job scheduler database

WPS workspace repository information database

east west interface database (optional)

access: UTRAN GUI

WICL: passport views, WICL data

HFB: HFB alarms database

NE configuration data,

BTS 1120 configuration data

FEATURE BENEFITS

Improved flexibility of the WMS backup and restore solution for the local backup and

restore on tape drive solution.

Centralized backup and restore solutions such as Symantec Veritas Netbackup

support this type of flexibility already.

111199 - WMS essential data backup without restrictive Window

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

In OAM06, in order to guarantee the consistency of the WMS essential data during

backup, a lock is put on the following operations, during a 10 to 15 minute period

called the restriction window

CM operation

WICL

layout edition

With this new feature, the WMS system behavior is changed to remove this short

restriction window period

Principles:

Always have a consistent copy of the database and use this copy for the Backup

When a backup is on-going, WOs can be executed in the meantime without

restriction. They will be taken into account at the next backup session

Even when WOs are on-going, if a backup is requested, it will run and backup

the current consistent copy of the database

Key operational impacts:

The coherence is guaranteed at node level, not inter node level

Impact on the configuration management KPI as a copy of the database will be

regularly done

113599 CTn processing capacity increase

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

A series of enhancements has been implemented to increase the capacity to process

CTn call traces on the WMS servers, and to protect the servers against congestion

cases, i.e. when the user-defined CT sessions overload the WMS.

The WMS processing throughput has been increased, allowing WMS to process more

input per second without using more CPU or memory.

The policy for defence against congestion has been modified to not sacrifice latency

over exhaustiveness. By triggering data loss, WMS now provides CTn data quickly.

FEATURE BENEFITS

The enhancements added to the CTn processing allow WMS to handle up to 20M calls

per day w/o delay on a large server in a given context (see limitations section). XML

CTn data are made available one publication period after collection end.

UMT/OAM/INF/025095 - 17 / 76 V01.07 July 2010

Standards


The CTn processing of 20M calls per day on a large WMS server assumes a typical

traffic model for CTn data where each busy hour call generates on average 11 CTn

records, with an average call duration under 1min, and 3 busy hours per day.

Facing a more aggressive traffic model, the WMS server might initiate CTn data loss

to protect itself from data overload.

34693 - UTRAN NE upgrade improvements (WAUT output report, NodeB

wizard)

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

This feature provides multiple various enhancements of the RNC and of the NodeB

upgrade procedure. Starting with this release:

The WAUT tool is enhanced and provides now an upgrade report in a tabular

format containing for each parameter, its previous value, its new value and if the

parameter is new / updated or deleted.

Two reports are issued: one for the RNC and one for all the NodeBs. The RNC report

is tagged with the RNC id, date and time of the generation. The NodeB report is

tagged with date and time of the generation

Usual export functions are supported: print and CSV export.

The NodeB software download and activation wizard is enhanced with the two

following changes:

The Network Element type on which this software is applicable to (iBTS sub-

family, OneBTS sub-family, Micro/Pico BTS), is added in the software

selection window



UMT/OAM/INF/025095 - 21 / 76 V01.07 July 2010

The Network Element type is added in the network selection window as well

FEATURE BENEFITS

The enhancements in the NodeB software download and activation wizard allows the

OAM operator to sort per Network Element type in these two windows and by such

simplify and ease the upgrade wizard.

The WAUT reporting new capabilities speed up the RNC upgrade process by

dramatically simplifying the preparation phase.

36250 - UTRAN Sharing Management evolution

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

Operator main drivers for introduction of the UTRAN sharing feature include:

Reduces Cost for operator by decreasing OPEX and low value capital outlay

Improves Time To Revenue by providing faster service to a greater population



UMT/OAM/INF/025095 - 22 / 76 V01.07 July 2010

Reduces Business Risk which gives a more favorable view from Banking

community

Therefore, operators of same countries are currently negotiating an association to

share their expenses while extending their current coverage to fill their government

contractual commitments.

Different management models for the support of Utran sharing feature can be

imagined:

Report base model

Data segregation model

Data segregation and Resource Based Access Control (ResBAC) per PLMNid model

Report base and Resource Based Access Control (ResBAC) per PLMNid model

The business model for Utran sharing management retained by Alcatel-Lucent is the

Report base and Resource Based Access Control (ResBAC) per PLMNid model. It is

implemented in OAM07.1 release and will be enhanced in future releases based on

customer feedbacks.

The following example covers the case of 3 operators sharing (however, the Alcatel-

Lucent Utran sharing solution supports up to 4 operators).

A neutral operator (in this example the GREY operator) is responsible for all network

operations including installation, maintenance, upgrades, parameters optimization

of all part of the shared network. It includes the common parameters and the

dedicated parameters modification / optimization linked to RED, BLUE and ORANGE

operators), etc.

A Change Control Board structure has to be put in place between all partners to

define the features list to activate, decide new deployments, sites to share or

unshared, common parameters values, etc.

This GREY operator is responsible for reporting to the RED, BLUE and ORANGE

operators multiple reports such as Quality of Service reports to ensure to the RED,

BLUE and ORANGE operators of their investment and return of profitability. It

includes:

Performance counters reports

Cell availability reports

Configuration reports

RED, BLUE and ORANGE operators have access to the GREY operator operational

centre. Each empowered person of the RED, BLUE and ORANGE operators is

activating their dedicated work-orders (or CIQ based). The GREY operator is

deciding of the most appropriate common PURPLE parameters based on the data

received from the RED, BLUE and ORANGE operators and according to the decision

taken during the Change Control Board meeting.

It has to be noted that the GREY operator role can be handled by one of the RED,

BLUE or ORANGE operators.

In more detail, this feature is providing:

Resource based Access Control per PLMNid function (ResBAC)

The ResBAC function on WMS consists to allow different access right for different

people on different resources.

- The read only access right for the RED, BLUE and ORANGE operators to

all resources (RED, BLUE ORANGE, PURPLE).

- The read/write access right for the RED, BLUE and ORANGE operators to

their dedicated RED, BLUE and ORANGE resources.

- The read/write access right for the GREY operator to all parameter

resources (RED, BLUE, ORANGE, PURPLE).

5 FAULT MANAGEMENT

5.1 First Alert

34562 - Alarm flow reduction ruleset package

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

WMS provides a robust Fault Management solution capable of handling thousands of

alarms generated by the managed network elements. All alarms are however not

relevant for all operators, as each operator has his own supervision strategy.

WMS offers since OAM03 (completed in OAM04) a powerful Advanced alarm

management mechanism for customizing the alarm flow. Rules, implemented

through a GUI, are applied to the alarm flow and define a so-called managed alarm

stream to which each individual user (including 3GPP agent) can subscribe or not.

Rules are based upon the following functions:

Alarm inhibit

Alarm delay

Alarm toggling

Alarm thresholding

Severity change

Auto acknowledgment

Send SMS

Send mail

Action on alarm

This feature requests that a recommended set of rules is delivered with the product,

in the form of documentation, in the UTRAN supervision guidelines document.

Those rules and the way to implement them using the advanced alarm management

GUI is explicitly described in order for the operators to easily apply a first level of

filtering to the alarm stream, such that alarms presented to the alarm manager GUI

are consistent and relevant ones.

The recommended set of rules provides:

Alarm Inhibition rules

Alarm Severity Change rules

Alarm Severity Change & Threshold rules

Method for automatic purge of aging alarms



UMT/OAM/INF/025095 - 35 / 76 V01.07 July 2010

The rules are described in the UTRAN Supervision Guidelines document

(UMT/SYS/INF/007308).

89864 Customized iBTS board Insertion/Extraction alarm flow

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

Starting OAM5.1, WMS is converting automatically the board insertion / extraction

states received from the iBTS into alarms visible in the alarm window.

This feature allows the operator to turn on/off this conversion mechanism as willing

by its operational model on a per ROC basis.

If the operator decides to switch on the conversion mechanism, the iBTS states

are visible in the Notification Log tool and converted as alarms in the alarm

window.

If the operator decides to switch off the conversion mechanism, the iBTS states

are visible in the Notification Log tool and no more in the alarm window.

The switch can be performed on-line and does not affect neither the supervision nor

the configuration operations. It is implemented thru WICL scripts that can be run by

the operator manually or scheduled using the job scheduling functions of WMS. Per

default the switch is set as on (alarm conversion on).

FEATURE BENEFITS

This feature gives to the operator the flexibility to decide based on these

operational model if these specific board insertion / extraction iBTS states are

converted in alarm or not.

30934 Activation Manager Enhancements: Pause/Resume Sessions

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

This feature provides the possibility to release the Network Elements involved in an

Activation Session whatever was their activation status (even during activation

phase).

At the release action, the activation manager will automatically generates

Fallback/Resume WorkOrders (a separated WorkOrder for each released NE) and the

associated sessions (Multi WorkOrders session). The fallback and resume sessions will

be ready to be launched.

FEATURE BENEFITS

With these improvements, the user will be able to release some Network Elements

locked due to their involvement in an activation session and enable other sessions or

other activities to be launched on these Network Elements (Lock/Unlock). The user

can resume the activation later on or fallback the released Network Elements to

reach their initial status.

All the resume/fallback automatically generated sessions will be listed in the

session tree list enabling the user to easily resume or fallback the released Network

Elements.

This feature will bring more flexibility to the activation activities in terms of user

collaboration and in terms of session management with the enhanced release,

74608 One Step Node B Renaming

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

This feature provides the possibility to rename a Node B and associated components

in a single action thru a dedicated standalone operation that the user can launch by

selecting the Node B object. The modification of the Node Bs userlabel will be

propagated properly to the BTSEquipment, the FDDCell, Site and other

components that could be impacted by the Node B renaming (e.g. Iub VCC

CorrelationTag).

FEATURE BENEFITS

In the previous releases, WPS provides a renaming interface for each object: Node B,

FDDCell, BTSEquipment and site. However, to comply with engineering rules, a Node

B renaming requires several individual actions to update all related objects and

attributes.

This operation makes the Node B renaming less time consuming by allowing the

propagation of the new name to other related components. The WPS Rules and

Checks integrated in this operation ensure that this propagation is done properly to

all the associated objects and attributes and recommendations are respected for all

the user labels and attributes (tags, etc).

7 PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

7.1 Operational Performance

20972 - WMS Real-Time Performance Monitoring application

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

WMS solution will be extended to include a Real Time Counters Monitoring

framework to be launched from the NSP desktop.

Real Time performance activity for UTRAN can be split the following way:

1. Selection of a zone to monitor (Network Element list with a limited number

of Network Elements) through a GUI

2. Activation of a fixed list of counters on Network Elements

3. Real Time Counters collection from the Network Elements by WMS

4. Real Time Counters mediation into 3GPP format

5. Computation of synthetic counters

6. Presentation of real time counters in a user friendly GUI : table and graphs

as presented on the next page of this document

Example of Tabular View

Example of Graphical View

Granularity of collection is fixed and set to 3 minutes with an end to end reporting

latency of about 1 minute.

The following list of counter families is covered by this feature:

Call Attempts Total, CS & PS

Successful Call Setups Total, CS & PS

Call Setup Success Rate Total, CS & PS

Drop Calls Total, CS & PS

Drop Call Rate Total, CS & PS

Total Traffic, CS & PS (Erlang)



UMT/OAM/INF/025095 - 55 / 76 V01.07 July 2010

FEATURE BENEFITS

From a general manner, the benefits of this feature are to be able to visualize

UTRAN synthetic counters values and evolution as soon as available from the

Network Elements (from a limited number of Network Elements and cells).

UTRAN synthetic counters refer to metrics calculated on WMS server based on raw

counters reported by the RNC.

This allows users to understand immediate network behavior when changes occur on

the network.

The following use cases have been identified:

Special events management

Customers want to be able to follow up special events such as concerts,

sports events or large public meetings, i.e. to be able to monitor places

where many people meet temporarily.

The real time monitoring function will allow monitoring of a limited number

of cells of Key Quality Indicators during several hours.

Control of Local parameter change

In other cases, customer need to be able to evaluate very quickly the results

from the modification of a parameter (under few cells or a RNC), from the

installation of a new site, etc.

34276 Real Time Call Trace Presentation

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

In some cases, cells do not behave correctly and provide very bad quality with no

usual reason, providing severe service impact to end users. Alarms and Counters

cannot help find the root cause of the problem and the only way to troubleshoot is

to send a drive tester on site performing pre-defined call scenarios while

troubleshooter activates a Call Trace session on this user.

Looking at the call flow with messaging content and/or evolution of call KPI on time

graphs, troubleshooter is able to find out what is going wrong and put things back in

order. Due to the impact on service, troubleshooter needs to be able to see call flow

refreshed in real time (some seconds after message really occurs on network).

With this feature, UTRAN messaging for specific mobiles are traced in real time

trough a direct connection with the RNC through IP/UDP protocol.

The overall latency of the solution should be between 10 to 15 seconds.

The Graphical User Interface provided for this feature will be located on the WMS

client and the user shall be able to see the following items:

Call Message Flow

Failure Message Identification

Message Content Display

Call Active Set

List Of Established RAB

Off-Line Replay Mechanism

FEATURE BENEFITS

This feature allows customers to debug some problems linked to specific users or

mobiles in a matter of minutes.

Real Time CTb session only with activation on dedicated UE_ID on a maximum of two

simultaneous calls per RNC.

ENGINEERING IMPACTS

Real time call trace traffic is relying on UDP. A specific UDP port number is used and

the traffic is between the RNC and the WMS client directly.

In case of Citrix server usage, a Virtual IP address pool has to be used on the Citrix

server to allocated individual virtual Citrix IP addresses on a per session basis.


36182 OAM support UTRAN Counter capacity improvement

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

In OAM06 release, a counters list management mechanism provided users with

flexibility to select counters to be activated or not. This feature proposes users to

be more assisted in the selection of counters to be activated, and allow for

activation at screening level.

As a matter of fact, as there is now the possibility to filter out individual

counter/screening pairs, and in order to facilitate filtering the counter list, the

format of the CSV file used for counter list activation/de-activation has evolved to

include the screening filed and some additional information about the the family of

the counter.

The action for the activation of a new counter list is done through a WICL script.

A Wiclet for RNC Counter list will be provided in OAM 7.1 to ease the RNC counter

list setup and is tracked by FRS 34512 - Various UTRAN OAM OE enhancements.

FEATURE BENEFITS

This feature allows customers to get full flexibility at counter/screening level for

RNC counters list definition.
