INTRODUCTION:

This document will describe the NodeB integration process flow which will be used when integrating a new node B, as well as demonstrating the CCR process from the delivery of data fill to the production and loading of XML and MO script.

1 UMTS Architecture

1.1 Design Team:

The integration team should be provided and updated with the LLD (Low Level Design) for the 3G Node B integration from the design team

1.2 Radio Planning Team:

Has to generate the two CCR forms (excel sheet) one for Hardware Scripts and other for Cell Network.

The names of two CCR sheets are:- AddCellNetworkP7.xls

Onsite P7.xls ( for hardware script)

1.3 Onsite Commissioning Team

Responsible for the installation and commissioning the NodeB, Loading OAM and External Hardware scripts

1.4 Node B Integration Team:

After loading OAM and Hardware script. The integration team can start the integration

To generate the XML files required for the WDCMA RAN integration, a CCR web based tool is used.

1.4.1 OAM & Hardware Scripts:

Both scripts are generated by referring to the LLD .Those two scripts will be emailed to the onsite commissioning team to load it on to NodeB.

1.4.2 ARW Script:

Integration team will generate and load the ARW script on to the OSS Common Explorer by using the ARW (Add RBS Wizard) tool.

1.4.3 Add Cell Network Scripts:

From the AddCellNetworkP7.xls CCR form, Cell scripts are generated and loaded on to the OSS Common Explorer by creating Planned Area and importing the.xml files to the planned areas.

2. Add RBS Wizard

Open OSS Go to WCDMA RAN Explorer Use your favourite FTP client to transfer files to OSS Upload the ARW script to : /var/opt/ericsson/nms_umts_arw_reg/dat/xml/import Open new planned configuration Enter the name of the planned configuration then click ok

Go to: tools ARW

Select ARW file for import file then click NEXT

Change the RNC SUBRACK related to your site, then click next until you reach the

end of the wizard

Verify that the RBS status was successfully complete

Go to your created planned configuration: right click activate

2.1 CCR TOOL

CCR Tool is the official internal tool that is used in producing .xml scripts.

2.2 CCR Tool - Workflow

Create CCR-Form Template

Populate CCR form

Create project/import CCR form

Execute/generate scripts

2.3 CCR Tool - Create CCR-Form Template

Click on Create CCR-form Template:

Make appropriate selections and click Create:

CCR Tool - Create project/import CCR form

CCR form is an excel spreadsheet and it will be emailed to you if you choose that option when creating a template.

After CCR template is populated, you can create a project in the tool and import your spreadsheet.

Select Create Project:

Make appropriate selections and click Create:

Your project will now appear under Projects Tab. To generate scripts, click on the Icon in the Configuration column:

- Uncheck “Test Load” and click Generate.

- XML scripts will get generated.

- Scripts will be emailed to you or you can extract them from Configuration column.

- Once the scripts are generated the icon will be changed from

to

2.4Loading Add_Cell Network Scripts:

Upload the cells scripts to : /var/opt/ericsson/nms_umts_wran_bcg/files/import

Three planned areas are created as below:1. Create Planned Configuration for Cell :<Site_ID>_Cell

Right click import

Import the following Scripts in following order

areas.xml

add_cell.xml add_hsdsch.xml add_eul.xml coveragerelation.xml cell update

After loading all the scripts, activate the Planned Configuration

Go to moshell and check if the cells and the channels are created

2. Create Planned Configuration for GSM Relation :<Site_ID>_GSM

Import the following Scripts in following order:

add_gsmcell.xml gsmcell_relations.xml

Activate Planned Configuration.

Go to moshell and check if the GSM relations are created

3. Create Planned Configuration for Utran Relation: <Site_ID>_UtranRelation

Import the following Scripts in following order:

cell_relations.xml add_extcell.xml extcell_relations.xml

Activate Planned Configuration.

Go to moshell and check if the utranrelations are created

3. IUB Script:

Upload the iub script to : /var/opt/ericsson/integration/xml_scripts/iub_scripts

Open element manager

Tools run command file

Choose your IUB script

Check halt on errors, verbose logging

Then start

4. Loading License Upload the license to : /var/opt/ericsson/integration/xml_scripts/lkf

In rbs element manager go to licensingMO propertiesAction(2)Update licensekeyfile

User ID: xxxxxxPassword: xxxxxxxxIp Address: IP address of the master serversFile: /var/opt/ericsson/integration/xml_scripts/lkf/licensename.xml (license directory in the node)

Then execute

5. Adjust License

Go to configuration Manage HW and SW inventory software management organizer

Choose your RBS name, right click adjust

6. Update Parameters

Open element manager tools run command file

Choose your parameters script

Also check the RBS parameter IubDataStreams, maxHsRate must be modified depending on the number of E1s

Change the following parameter using Moshell

numHsCodeResources

numEulResources

maxTotalOutputPower

7. Create back CV and set as startable on NodeB:

Go to Moshell :

CVMS <CV_Name>CVLS <CV_Name>

After creating the CV we unlock the IUB and the site name

8. Software Upgrade using SMO

Locate the desired node and start the wizard using the upgrade function in SMO

Choose the upgrade package then click next

Choose the appropriate ftp server area

Check the upgrade steps to be executed

Then click finish

9. Conclusion

Once the upgrade is completed we list the iub status for the node ( lst . site name), we print the traffic status (get radiol), we check the license status (license lkf), we print the list of the active alarm (alt)
