Feature Description Basic FeaturesBasic Features

 Server time management


This function is used to manage the time zone and time settings of server devices, including
setting the time zone, and configuring a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server for
synchronizing time to server devices.
 Server configuration management
This function is important for installing and deploying software for the Discovery. This
function is used to configure module groups, service IP addresses, and backup servers for
servers. After server hardware devices are added, users need to deploy software packages on
the servers. The software packages are organized by module group. Therefore, users need to
set the module groups that need to be installed on each server. After the module groups are
set, packages can be automatically downloaded and installed. Then, users need to configure a
service IP address for each server to ensure that services can be processed. The backup server
configuration function is used to configure standby servers for each type of server (for
example, web servers).
 Software package management
This function is used to upload software packages, query uploaded software packages, and
delete software packages during system software installation and upgrade.
 Startup and restart management
This function is used to start up and restart the following processes: data access subsystem,
data pre-processing subsystem, data center subsystem, service application subsystem, and
system management subsystem. The Discovery automatically starts each subsystem process
after being powered on. When a subsystem process is suspended, the Discovery automatically
restarts this process. Users can also manually restart a subsystem process.
 License management
This function is used to import, delete, activate, deactivate, and query license files.
 Application management
The service features and platform of the Discovery are independent of each other. The
service features are packaged and installed in the Discovery as applications to quickly
meet customer requirements. The application management function enables users to
dynamically install, start, stop, and uninstall an application package when the Discovery
is running without restarting the Discovery.
 Task scheduling
The Discovery processes service data through periodic tasks. Tasks may be dependent on one
another and multiple dependent tasks comprise a job flow. The task scheduling function is
used to schedule job flows through the following methods:
− Periodic scheduling: The Discovery schedules tasks based on a specified time period.
− Timing scheduling: The Discovery schedules tasks at a specified time.
− Dependent scheduling: Users set the sequence of executing tasks, and the Discovery
schedules a task only after all the tasks before it are executed.
− Event- and operation- triggered scheduling: Users manually trigger the execution of a
task.
 System monitoring
This function is used to monitor the running status of the Discovery hardware and
software, including:

Feature Description Basic FeaturesBasic Features

− Monitoring overview: displays the topology diagram of the data flows for each server
or cluster from the perspective of system data processing. This function helps monitor
data processing, such as traffic and the number of call history records (CHRs), on
each node of each cluster.
− Hardware monitoring: monitors the hardware status of each server, including the
overall server status, memory, CPU, disks, and network port operating status.
− Software monitoring: monitors the status of each software process on each server,
including whether each process is started, and the CPU usage and memory usage of
each process, and starts, stops, and resets service processes.
 Alarm management
This function is used to view and clear alarms.
 Log management
This function is used to record and manage operation logs and run logs. Operation logs
record user operations on software functions, are used to manage security and collect
statistics on the frequency of using these functions. Run logs mainly record the context
information about abnormal system running, and are used to demarcate and identify
software problems. Operation log management allows users to browse, filter, and export
operation logs. Run log management allows users to browse, filter, and download run
logs.
 Backup management
This function supports manual backup and automatic scheduled backup of the data in the
Discovery database. When exceptions occur in the database, users can restore data using
backup files, which improves the disaster tolerance capability of the Discovery. This function
supports operation functions, such as remotely backing up data, manually deleting backup
data, and uploading, downloading, and restoring backup data.

1.2 Security Management


1.2.1 SGNDFD-100020 Security Management
Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
To ensure operation security, the Discovery provides functions, such as user and rights
management, anonymization management and certificate management, as well as preset
services such as operating system (OS) hardening and antivirus management.

GENEX Discovery
Feature Description Basic FeaturesBasic Features

Benefits
This feature ensures the operation security of the Discovery.

Description
 User and rights management
The user management function is used to add, delete, modify (for example, configuring user
roles), and query system users. Implemented through roles management, the rights
management function is used to add, delete, modify, and query user roles (for example,
administrators) and configure operation permission for user roles. (Operation permission
indicates the permission on a specific system function, such as user group analysis and system
maintenance.)
 Anonymization management
The anonymization management function provides two functions: setting the anonymization
mode and checking the current anonymity key status of each operations support system
(OSS).
− Setting the anonymization mode: In an encryption version, users can set the
anonymization mode to hardware anonymization or software anonymization. When
the mode is set to hardware anonymization, a third-party external encryptor is
connected to the Discovery to encrypt subscriber identities in raw data. When the
mode is set to software anonymization, the Discovery provides an internal
anonymization function and therefore the third-party external encryptor is not
required.
− Checking anonymity key status: Users can check whether the anonymization function
of each Huawei OSS connected to the Discovery is enabled (Huawei NEs anonymize
sensitive data when the anonymization function is enabled). Users can also check the
hash values of anonymity keys to determine whether the anonymity keys of different
OSSs are consistent.
 Certificate management
In normal cases, the subsystems of the Discovery communicate with one another using a
certificate mechanism to ensure security. For example, web servers and browsers on clients
communicate with one another through certificates. Preset certificates are provided for the
Discovery when the Discovery is installed. The certificate management function enables users
to change current certificates used by the Discovery to other certificates.
 OS hardening
This function is used to harden an OS by disabling insecure OS services, restricting access to
files and directories, hardening OS accounts and passwords, and adjusting OS kernel
parameters, thereby enhancing the OS security of the Discovery.
This function displays a security warning message when users perform system operations,
such as logging in to the Discovery using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure Shell (SSH).
In addition, this function provides system logs related to Inetd, FTP, cron tasks, and daemon
process, helping users trace and audit the system operations they have performed.
The SUSE Linux OS installed on each server is hardened according to the default hardening
policies during the production of Discovery devices. Some hardening policies are not
universal, and therefore need to be manually implemented to harden the OS based on site
conditions. Such policies include disabling the remote login by user root, setting Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) wrappers, disabling FTP services, and others.

Feature Description Basic FeaturesBasic Features

 Antivirus management
Virus attacks and spread pose a great challenge to operators' network security. Huawei
provides antivirus solutions for Windows and SUSE Linux OSs by deploying third-party
software, thereby preventing the Discovery from being attacked and harmed by viruses,
worms, and spyware.
Huawei OSS antivirus solution protects the Discovery, Citrix client, and Citrix server that run
the Windows OS from viruses by deploying OfficeScan 8.0. In addition, this solution protects
the Discovery server software that runs the SUSE Linux OS from viruses by deploying
ServerProtect for Linux 3.0 and Control Manager.

Enhancement
None

Dependencies
OfficeScan 8.0, ServerProtect for Linux 3.0, and Control Manager are commercial antivirus
software products and must be purchased separately by operators. Third-party hardware and
software configured for antivirus solutions apply to OSS products, such as the U2000, PRS,
and GENEX Discovery, after being deployed once. Operators do not need to purchase the
hardware and software for each product.

1.3 Service Configuration


1.3.1 SGNDFD-100030 Service Configuration
Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
The Discovery provides the following service configuration functions: NE access, source data
subscription, feature parameter configuration, engineering parameter management, polygon
management, feature database management, and data maintenance and management.

Benefits
This feature enables service features to work properly.

Description
 NE access
The Discovery obtains NE lists, NE configuration data, and performance data from Huawei
OSS U2000. When the Trace Server is deployed, the Discovery obtains CHR and MR data
generated by Huawei RNCs (BSCs), NodeBs, eNodeBs, and mobility management entities
(MMEs) from the Trace Server. When no Trace Server is deployed, the Discovery obtains
CHR and MR data from the service aware unit (SAU) boards in Huawei RNCs (BSCs). In
addition, the Discovery obtains the data (configuration data, traffic data, CHR data, and MR
data) generated by competitors' NEs from the data gateway (DGW). This function is used to

Feature Description Basic FeaturesBasic Features

configure and collect the basic information (for example, accounts and IP addresses) of
external systems, such as the OSS, Trace Server, RNC SAU boards, and DGW. The basic
information is used for command and data interaction between the Discovery and external
systems. The Discovery supports setting of the collector. The IP addresses, port numbers, and
protocol types of the collection objects can be configured for data collection.
 Source data subscription
This function is used to deliver data subscription commands (which directly control NEs to
generate related data, such as controlling the NE sets that report CHR and MR data and
controlling the specific types of data blocks reported by NEs) to Huawei NEs. This function is
also used to deliver data subscription commands for obtaining competitors' device data to the
DGW (users need to configure data on OSSs of competitors' devices). Therefore, users can
obtain the CHR and MR data used for various service features.
This function provides NE objects for data collection. The CHR and MR data required in
different features can be collected from NEs that are subscribed to.
 Feature parameter configuration
This function is used to configure calculation-related parameters for various service features,
for example, the Call Setup Time-out Threshold parameter for the UMTS User Group
Analysis feature.
 Engineering parameter management
Engineering parameters describe information, such as BTS locations, cell names, cell
identifiers, and antenna azimuths, downtilts, heights, and types, and are the basic data that is
collected, analyzed, displayed, and operated by the Discovery.
This function allows users to import, export, and query engineering parameters, collect
statistics on engineering parameter status, and manually synchronize NE configuration data
(for example, frequencies and scrambling codes) based on engineering parameters. This
function allows the system to automatically collect and import engineering parameters from
third-party SFTP/FTP servers.
 Polygon management
Polygons are widely used in the Discovery to specify the range of measurement,
analysis, and query in a specified service feature. The polygon management function
allows users to create, delete, query, and manage polygons.
 Feature database management
On live networks, one geographic location is covered by multiple cells in normal cases. The
signal strength in these cells and the related cell information constitute the signal
characteristics of this geographic location. A feature database describes the distribution of
network signals on maps. Feature database-based matching is one of the MR location
positioning algorithms used by the Discovery. This function allows users to import, delete,
and query feature database files.
 Grid origin configuration
The initial results of MR location positioning are the longitudes and latitudes on a spherical
coordinate system. The Discovery displays the location positioning results on a grid map and
projects the sphere to a plane to facilitate statistical summarization and display. The system
projects all or part of the sphere to a plane in order to display the geo-location results on a grid
map. The sphere is distorted after the projection, and the generated grid map or geographic
observation data is distorted. The grid origin configuration function minimizes the distortion
of geographic observation data by properly setting parameters based on the areas on the
sphere.

2.1.2 SGNDFD-500020: GSM Problem Area Recognition


Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C50.

Summary
Traditional evaluation methods can identify only abnormal cell-level counters, and they
cannot identify the situation that the cell-level counters are normal but the counters in certain
areas in the cell are abnormal. This feature provides an evaluation function at the micro level.
It automatically and quickly detects grid-level problem areas and identifies the top-N problem
areas.

Benefits
Most operators detect network quality problems through performance data evaluation by NE
or area. This traditional method helps operators evaluate the cell groups or cells within a
valuable area, but it cannot identify the situation that the cell-level counters are normal but the
counters in certain areas in the cell are abnormal. This feature can detect problem areas of a
finer granularity more quickly based on cell-level evaluation. (A problem area can be an area
within a cell or the overlapped area of multiple cells.) This helps area managers improve the
problem area identification efficiency and continuously and efficiently evaluate problem
areas.

Description
 Frequency analysis
After a GSM neighboring cell measurement task is enabled on the U2000, this feature allows
users to add test ARFCNs to the BA2 list of the test cell. Then the test cell performs
neighboring cell measurement for the specified ARFCNs. After the measurement task is
complete, the original BA2 list of the test cell is restored and the U2000 reports the
measurement results to the Discovery. The implementation of neighboring cell measurement
task does not affect calls.
The GSM frequency analysis task processes information about downlink neighboring cells in
the measurement results reported by the BSC, analyzes the results according to specific
algorithms, and generates frequency analysis reports.
The task generates an interference matrix report. If the test cell and its neighboring cells use
the same ARFCN or adjacent ARFCNs, the interference between the test cell and its
neighboring cells is recorded in the report. A GSM frequency analysis report consists of the
following tables:
 Frequency analysis overview table: This table lists the co-channel/adjacent-channel
interference traffic of all test cells and MRs.
 Interference matrix table of the test cell: This table describes the details about
interference matrix between the test cell and its neighboring cells. Users can check the
interference between the test cell and its neighboring cells through interference traffic
and percentage of interference traffic.
 Frequency interference matrix table of test cells: This table describes the interference
traffic between the test cell and its neighboring cells with the same ARFCN or adjacent
ARFCNs after certain ARFCN is used as the BCCH ARFCNs of the test cell.
 The analysis results are displayed on the same GUI. Users can perform the cell
correlation analysis.
 The GSM frequency analysis reports can be exported.
Through the GSM frequency analysis task, users can check the potential interference among
cells and know the interference degree of available ARFCNs. By sorting out target cells
according to interference traffic, users can replace the BCCH or TCH ARFCNs of the target
cell. In addition, they can select the optimal ARFCN during TCH expansion. Users can
perform the frequency optimization analysis based on the latest frequency optimization result.
 Frequency optimization
After registering a GSM frequency optimization task on the Discovery system, users can
perform frequency optimization. Users can set corresponding algorithm parameters based on
the requirements for network optimization.
A GSM frequency optimization report consists of the following information:
 Basic information table of test cells: This table lists the basic information about all test
cells, such as BCCH, TCH, and BSIC.
 Interference table of available BCCH ARFCNs: This table describes all available BCCH
ARFCNs for a specified test cell, and the interference traffic between the specified test
cell and its intra-frequency and adjacent-frequency neighboring cells after certain
ARFCN is used as the BCCH ARFCN of the test cell.
 Interference table of available TCH ARFCNs: This table describes all available TCH
ARFCNs for a specified test cell, and the interference traffic between the specified test
cell and its intra-frequency and adjacent-frequency neighboring cells after certain

Description
Users start a neighboring GSM cell measurement task on the U2000. Users are allowed to
select BCCH frequencies to be tested or use the BCCH frequencies automatically provided by
the system. After the measurement task is started, the Discovery automatically adds the test
frequency to the BA2 list of the test cell and checks the frequency validity. Then, the test cell
performs neighboring cell measurement based on the modified BA2 list. After the test is
complete, the BSC automatically restores the original BA2 list of the test cell, and reports the
neighboring cell measurement results to the Discovery.
Based on the neighboring cell measurement statistics in the BA2 list, topology relationships
between the primary serving cell and its neighboring cells, and handover relationships
between cells, this feature uses an algorithm to score and sort out neighbor relationships and
generate a neighboring cell analysis report. When creating a task, users can customize the
neighboring cell optimization parameters. This feature has the following functions:
 Provides an analysis report of the neighboring GSM cells. The report consists of the
following information:
− Test cell overview table: This table displays the missing and redundant neighboring
cells of all the test cells in an analysis task.
− List of the defined neighboring cells: This list displays the test results of the defined
neighboring cells of each cell. It also provides the operation suggestions, including
the neighboring cells that need to be reserved and the redundant neighboring cells
that need to be deleted.
− List of undefined neighboring cells: This list displays the test results of the undefined
neighboring cells of each cell and provides the operation suggestions, including the
undefined neighboring cells that do not need to be added and the missing neighboring
cells that need to be added. Users can perform the corresponding operations manually
according to the operation suggestions.
− Neighboring GSM cell analysis chart: The Discovery displays neighboring cell
information about selected test cells in bar and curve charts.
The preceding four lists and charts are displayed on the same interface. Users can
perform the correlation analysis by cell. This helps improve analysis efficiency.
 Performs possible neighboring cell analysis.
Multiple cells with the same BCCH frequency and same BSIC exist in a GSM network.
The undefined GSM neighboring cells for a GSM network are identified by BCCH
frequency and BSIC. The system provides the undefined neighboring cells based on
algorithm analysis, but the analysis results may be inaccurate due to various factors. The
system provides a maximum of five possible neighboring cells corresponding to the
BCCH frequency and BSIC. Users can confirm undefined neighboring cells based on the
possible neighboring cells before exporting neighboring cell analysis results.
 Supports the check of neighboring cells with the same BCCH frequency and same BSIC.
After checking the specified neighboring cell analysis task, if a neighboring cell shares
the BCCH frequency and BSIC with the serving cell, or if other cells that are distant
from the serving cell within 5 kilometers share the BCCH frequency and BSIC, the
Discovery displays the information about the serving cell and the neighboring cells in a
table.
 Supports the check of intra-frequency neighboring cells.
After checking the specified neighboring cell analysis task, the Discovery displays the
information about the serving cell and the neighboring cells sharing the BCCH frequency

Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C50.

Summary
This feature summarizes and analyzes the MRs and handover events reported by UEs with the
combination of configuration data and engineering parameters, and checks missing
neighboring cells, redundant neighboring cells, and the priorities that need to be adjusted of a
test cell. The information is displayed on maps and in diagrams to help users resolve network
quality problems caused by redundant or missing neighboring cells.

Benefits
Proper neighbor relationships can ensure that a UE on the edge of a serving cell can hand over
in a timely manner and gains are obtained through soft handovers. This helps reduce intra-
network interference, improve the QoS of the network, and ensure stable network
performance. Missing neighboring cells or improper priorities will cause problems, such as
call drops and communication quality deterioration. A large number of redundant neighboring
cells in an NCL will affect the handover speed. Neighboring cell optimization is a routine
network optimization operation. The automatic analysis function of this feature greatly
improves the neighboring cell optimization efficiency and accuracy.

Description
This feature provides the following functions:
 Automatically identifies the missing and redundant neighboring cells of each cell
involved in the analysis.
The analysis results are displayed in the following ways:
− Overview table of neighboring cell analysis: This table displays the missing and
redundant neighboring cells of each cell.
− Neighboring cell information table: This table displays the detailed neighboring cell
analysis results of each cell. The Discovery displays normal neighboring cells and
redundant and missing neighboring cells, and provides operation suggestions, such as
reserving a defined neighboring cell, deleting a redundant neighboring cell, adding a
missing neighboring cell, and not performing any operation on a missing neighboring
cell.
− Neighboring UMTS cell analysis chart: Information, such as the RSCP (dBm) and
Ec/No (dB) of a neighboring cell and the distance between a neighboring cell and the
primary serving cell, is displayed in bar charts.
− Performs possible neighboring cell analysis.
Multiple cells with the same UARFCN and same PSC exist in a UMTS network. The
undefined neighboring UMTS cells for a GSM network are identified by UARFCN
and PSC. The system provides the undefined neighboring cells based on algorithm
analysis, but the analysis results may be inaccurate due to various factors. The system
provides a maximum of five possible neighboring cells corresponding to the
neighboring cell UARFCN and PSC. Users can confirm undefined neighboring cells
based on the possible neighboring cells before exporting neighboring cell analysis
results.

 Displays neighboring cell analysis results on maps.


This function displays neighboring cell analysis results on maps. The following results
are obtained: Defined neighboring cells are reserved, defined neighboring cells are
redundant, undefined neighboring cells are not configured, and undefined neighboring
cells are not performed, helping users identify neighboring cell problems and determine
optimization solutions.
 Automatically or manually determines neighboring cells.
In MRs, missing neighboring cells are identified by UARFCN and scrambling code.
Some cells are configured with the same UARFCN and the same scrambling code. The
Discovery can automatically identify undefined neighboring cells and determine their
cell IDs. However, the analysis results may be inaccurate due to various factors. To
ensure the analysis result accuracy, the Discovery provides a list of possible neighboring
cells and allows customers to manually determine the IDs of undefined neighboring
cells.
 Exports analysis results, helping customers further filter missing and redundant
neighboring cells in batches.

2.2.2 SGNDFD-200020 UMTS Problem Area Recognition


Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
This feature automatically aggregates poor-counter grids to form a problem area and
automatically identifies area landmarks.
Traditional evaluation methods can identify only abnormal cell-level counters, and they
cannot identify the situation that the cell-level counters are normal but the counters in certain
areas in the cell are abnormal.
This feature provides an evaluation function at the micro level. It automatically and quickly
detects grid-level problem areas and identifies the top-N problem areas.

Benefits
Most operators detect network quality problems through performance data evaluation by NE
or area. This traditional method helps operators evaluate the cell groups or cells within a
valuable area, but it cannot identify the situation that the cell-level counters are normal but the
counters in certain areas in the cell are abnormal. This feature can detect problem areas of a
finer granularity more quickly based on cell-level evaluation. (A problem area can be an area
within a cell or the overlapped area of multiple cells.) This helps area managers improve the
problem area identification efficiency and continuously and efficiently evaluate problem
areas.

connected, and can be used to analyze access failures or overlong access delays. The last-MR
counters are collected based on the last MR of each call before the call is terminated, and can
be used to analyze abnormally released calls. All-MR counters are collected based on all the
MRs of each call. The preceding three types of counters are used to identify the coverage
upon initial access, coverage upon abnormal release, and network-wide average coverage,
respectively. Counters related to ActiveSet 1, 2, or 3 can be used to analyze whether soft
handover planning is proper (namely, whether the soft handover gain and capacity redundancy
consumption cost are balanced).

cells. This function also provides the information about each cell. The information
includes the percentage of overshoot coverage grids, maximum overshoot coverage
call distance, average overshoot coverage distance, percentage of overshoot coverage
calls, total number of calls, and others. The average overshoot coverage distance and
the maximum overshoot coverage call distance are used to evaluate the degree of
overshoot coverage. The percentage of overshoot coverage calls and the total number
of calls are used to determine the percentage of calls affected by overshoot coverage
in the cell, helping determine the RF optimization priority of the cell (in normal
cases, a higher percentage of overshoot coverage calls indicates a higher probability
of exceptions, which means that the cell needs to be preferentially optimized).
− Overshoot coverage geographic observation: This function displays the overshoot
coverage MR ratio of each grid and the grid-level distribution of overshoot coverage
in a specified cell, helping users understand overshoot coverage in the cell.
− Grid-level statistics analysis: This function displays the RSCP of the best serving cell
for each cell.

2.2.7 SGNDFD-200060 UMTS Intra-Frequency Neighboring Cell


Analysis
Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
Based on the MR data of common subscribers, topology relationships between the primary
serving cell and its neighboring cells, and handover relationships between cells, this feature
scores and sorts out neighbor relationships and automatically analyzes missing and redundant
neighboring cells in batches.

Benefits
Proper neighbor relationships can ensure that a UE on the edge of a serving cell can hand over
in a timely manner and gains are obtained through soft handovers. This helps reduce intra-
network interference, improve the QoS of the network, and ensure stable network
performance. Missing neighboring cells or improper priorities will cause problems, such as
call drops and communication quality deterioration. A large number of redundant neighboring
cells in an NCL will affect the handover speed. Neighboring cell optimization is a routine
network optimization operation. The automatic analysis function of this feature greatly
improves the neighboring cell optimization efficiency and accuracy.

Description
This feature provides the following functions:
 Automatically identifies the missing and redundant neighboring cells of each cell
involved in the analysis.
The analysis results are displayed in the following ways:
− Overview table of neighboring cell analysis: This table displays the missing and
redundant neighboring cells of each cell.
− Neighboring cell information table: This table displays the detailed neighboring cell
analysis results of each cell. The Discovery displays normal neighboring cells and
redundant and missing neighboring cells, and provides operation suggestions, such as
reserving a defined neighboring cell, deleting a redundant neighboring cell, adding a
missing neighboring cell, and not performing any operation on a missing neighboring
cell.
− Neighboring UMTS cell analysis chart: Information, such as the average RSCP of a
neighboring cell and the distance between a neighboring cell and the primary serving
cell, is displayed in bar and curve charts.
 Performs possible neighboring cell analysis.
Multiple cells with the same UARFCN and same PSC exist in a UMTS network. The
undefined neighboring cells are identified by UARFCN and PSC. The system provides
the undefined neighboring cells based on algorithm analysis, but the analysis results may
be inaccurate due to various factors. The system provides a maximum of five possible
neighboring cells corresponding to the neighboring cell UARFCN and PSC. Users can
confirm undefined neighboring cells based on the possible neighboring cells before
exporting neighboring cell analysis results.
 Displays neighboring cell analysis results on maps.

 Automatically or manually determines neighboring cells.
In MRs, missing neighboring cells are identified by UARFCN and scrambling code.
Some cells are configured with the same UARFCN and the same scrambling code. The
Discovery can automatically identify undefined neighboring cells and determine their
cell IDs. However, the analysis results may be inaccurate due to various factors. To

Benefits
Proper neighbor relationships can ensure that a UE on the edge of a serving cell can hand over
in a timely manner and gains are obtained through soft handovers. This helps reduce intra-
network interference, improve the QoS of the network, and ensure stable network
performance. Missing neighboring cells or improper priorities will cause problems, such as
call drops and communication quality deterioration. A large number of redundant neighboring
cells in an NCL will affect the handover speed. Neighboring cell optimization is a routine
network optimization operation. The automatic analysis function of this feature greatly
improves the neighboring cell optimization efficiency and accuracy.

Description
This feature provides the following functions:
 Automatically identifies the missing and redundant neighboring cells of each cell
involved in the analysis.
The analysis results are displayed in the following ways:
− Overview table of neighboring cell analysis: This table displays the missing and
redundant neighboring cells of each cell.
− Neighboring cell information table: This table displays the detailed neighboring cell
analysis results of each cell. The Discovery displays normal neighboring cells and
redundant and missing neighboring cells, and provides operation suggestions, such as
reserving a defined neighboring cell, deleting a redundant neighboring cell, adding a
missing neighboring cell, and not performing any operation on a missing neighboring
cell.
− Neighboring UMTS cell analysis chart: Information, such as the average RSCP of a
neighboring cell and the distance between a neighboring cell and the primary serving
cell, is displayed in bar and curve charts.
 Performs possible neighboring cell analysis.
Multiple cells with the same UARFCN and same PSC exist in a UMTS network. The
undefined neighboring cells are identified by UARFCN and PSC. The system provides
the undefined neighboring cells based on algorithm analysis, but the analysis results may
be inaccurate due to various factors. The system provides a maximum of five possible
neighboring cells corresponding to the neighboring cell UARFCN and PSC. Users can
confirm undefined neighboring cells based on the possible neighboring cells before
exporting neighboring cell analysis results.
 Displays neighboring cell analysis results on maps.
This function displays neighboring cell analysis results on maps. The following results
are obtained: Defined neighboring cells are reserved, defined neighboring cells are
redundant, undefined neighboring cells are not configured, and undefined neighboring
cells are not performed, helping users identify neighboring cell problems and determine

Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
Based on the data, such as call logs and MRs, generated during subscribers' calls, this feature
restores information, such as call service quality, radio environment, and key signaling
procedures for subscribers, from the time and space dimensions, helping engineers locate and
resolve subscribers' history call problems.

Benefits
Subscribers may complain to a telecom operator when they encounter communication service
problems, such as call drops. If the complaints are not handled effectively in a timely manner,
the subscriber satisfaction rate will be reduced and they may even leave the operator's
network, which affects the network quality reputation of this operator. Each operator has a
special team to receive and handle subscriber complaints. This feature can quickly provide the
CHRs about subscribers' calls when subscribers complain to a telecom operator, helping this
telecom operator quickly analyze the causes and improving subscriber satisfaction.

Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C10.

Summary
Based on the MR data of common subscribers, topology relationships between the primary
serving cell and its neighboring cells, and handover relationships between cells, this feature
scores and sorts out neighbor relationships and automatically analyzes missing and redundant
neighboring cells in batches.

Benefits
Proper neighbor relationships can ensure that a UE on the edge of a serving cell can hand over
in a timely manner and gains are obtained through soft handovers. This helps reduce intra-
network interference, improve the QoS of the network, and ensure stable network
performance. Missing neighboring cells or improper priorities will cause problems, such as
call drops and communication quality deterioration. A large number of redundant neighboring
cells in an NCL will affect the handover speed. Neighboring cell optimization is a routine
network optimization operation. The automatic analysis function of this feature greatly
improves neighboring cell optimization efficiency and accuracy.

This feature provides the following functions:
 Automatically identifies the missing and redundant neighboring cells of each cell
involved in the analysis.
The analysis results are displayed in the following ways:
− Overview table of neighboring cell analysis: This table displays the missing and
redundant neighboring cells of each cell.
− Neighboring cell information table: This table displays the detailed neighboring cell
analysis results of each cell. The Discovery displays normal neighboring cells and
redundant and missing neighboring cells, and provides operation suggestions, such as
reserving a defined neighboring cell, deleting a redundant neighboring cell, adding a
missing neighboring cell, and not performing any operation on a missing neighboring
cell.
− Neighboring LTE cell analysis chart: Information, such as the average RSRP of each
neighboring cell and the distance between a neighboring cell and the primary serving
cell, is displayed in bar and curve chart.

confusion, intra-frequency and co-PCI reuse distance, PCI mod30, and PCI reserved values,
helping engineers quickly identify problems caused by improper PCI configuration and
improve daily network optimization efficiency.

Benefits
On an LTE network, PCIs determine the main synchronization code, frequency-domain
position of downlink RSs, and channel scrambling codes of a cell, and are used as unique
identifiers of cells within a certain scope. PCI configuration is of great importance to a
network. It is necessary to evaluate and check PCIs and modify problem PCIs in a timely
manner. In this way, network problems caused by improper PCI planning can be prevented
and network quality can be improved. The Discovery can quickly analyze PCI problems to
greatly improve the work efficiency of network optimization engineers and reduce
maintenance costs.

Description
LTE PCI analysis: Analyzes PCIs based on configuration data, engineering parameter data,
and algorithms, and exports PCI analysis reports.
 The LTE PCI analysis supports the following functions:
− Check of PCI consistency of external neighboring cells: This feature checks whether
the information about external cells configured for base station A is consistent with
that configured for base station B. The information includes PCI and frequency
configuration. With the PCI consistency check function, if the configuration
information of these external cells of base station B is modified, the information
about these cells of base station A will be modified accordingly. Therefore, the
handover failures caused by inconsistent parameters are prevented.
− PCI conflict and confusion detection: A PCI conflict refers to the same frequency and
same PCI are shared by a serving cell and its neighboring cells. PCI confusion refers
to the same frequency and same PCI are shared by the neighboring cells of a cell. A
long intra-frequency and co-PCI reuse distance also leads to PCI confusion.

− This feature includes intra-frequency and co-PCI confusion detection, intra-frequency


and co-PCI reuse distance detection, PCI mod30 conflict detection, and reserved PCI
detection.
− This feature checks for cells where PCI conflict or confusion exists, PCI mod30
problems exist, and reserved PCIs are used, and displays the PCI consistency check
results in tables and maps.
 LTE PCI analysis reports can be exported as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files. An LTE PCI
analysis report contains the following information:
− PCI consistency check on external neighboring cells: exports external neighboring
cells of a cell and the cells whose external neighboring cells have inconsistent PCIs.

2.4 LTE TDD Features


2.4.1 SGNDFD-400010 LTE TDD Network Health Evaluation
Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
This feature provides network evaluation functions at the macro level, including network-
level evaluation and area-level evaluation. The network-level evaluation function evaluates a
network from multiple dimensions, including coverage, performance, and traffic, and scores
the heath of the network in combination with geographic observation results. This helps users
quickly understand the network status and trend. The area-level evaluation function scores the
health of each valuable area on a network, helping users quickly identify problem areas. Users
can set some areas as valuable areas. The counter quality in the valuable areas greatly affects
the health score of the areas and entire network.

Benefits
This feature helps telecom operators continuously evaluate the status of a network and
valuable areas on the network, thereby providing a basis for area managers' work assignment
and evaluation management. This feature also provides continuous evaluation reports for
telecom operators to evaluate the health of the network and areas, helping telecom operators
make future plans.

Description
This feature provides the following functions:
 Scores health from dimensions, such as coverage (weak coverage and overlapped
coverage), performance (access failure, call drop, and handover failure), and traffic
(traffic variation, only for Huawei networks).
This feature scores health based on the following predefined sub-items, sub-counters, and
atomic counters:
 Coverage
 Uplink weak coverage (only for Huawei networks): High UE TXPower Ratio, UL Poor
RSRP Ratio, and UL Poor SINR Ratio
 Downlink weak coverage: DL Poor RSRP Ratio and DL Poor RSRQ Ratio
 Overlapped coverage
 Performance
 Retainability: Call Drop Ratio
 Mobility: Intra-Frequency HO Success Ratio and Inter-Frequency HO Success Ratio
 Traffic (only for Huawei networks)
 PS Traffic Variation
 Evaluates network-wide health and identifies the top-N problem polygons.
− Allows users to specify the time period, vendor (Huawei and Ericsson), and
frequency band for health evaluation.

example, retainability and mobility) values, and grid-level distribution of a specified
sub-item (for example, performance).
− Allows users to view the hourly trend and top-10 problem areas of each atomic
counter (for example, Handover Success Ratio) under a specified sub-counter (for
example, mobility). This feature can direct users from an hourly trend chart to related
network analysis features (Coverage Analysis and Pilot Pollution Analysis). For a
top-10 problem area, this feature can direct users to the Problem Area Recognition
feature for further query and analysis in this area.
− Immediately calculates the values of sub-counters in a temporary area specified on a
grid map.
− Geographically displays abnormal events for VIP subscribers on the level-1
performance scoring page.

2.4.2 SGNDFD-400020 LTE TDD Problem Area Recognition


Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
Traditional evaluation methods can identify only abnormal cell-level counters, and they
cannot identify the situation that the cell-level counters are normal but the counters in certain
areas in the cell are abnormal. This feature provides an evaluation function at the micro level.
It automatically and quickly detects grid-level problem areas and identifies the top-N problem
areas.

Benefits
Most operators detect network quality problems through performance data evaluation by NE
or area. This traditional method helps operators evaluate the cell groups or cells within a
valuable area, but it cannot identify the situation that the cell-level counters are normal but the
counters in certain areas in the cell are abnormal. This feature can detect problem areas of a
finer granularity more quickly based on cell-level evaluation. (A problem area can be an area
within a cell or the overlapped area of multiple cells.) This helps area managers improve the
problem area identification efficiency and continuously and efficiently evaluate problem
areas.

Description
This feature provides the following functions:
 Automatically identifies problem areas based on the specified time period, vendor
(Huawei and Ericsson), NE range, polygon, frequency band, and counter. This feature
determines whether each grid is problem based on a specified counter, and determines
the severity of each problem grid. This feature also analyzes the location adjacency
relationships between problem grids to identify continuous problem grids.
 Supports the following counters:
− Coverage
− Uplink coverage (only for Huawei networks): High UE TXPower, UL Poor RSRP,
and UL Poor SINR
− Downlink coverage: RSRP and RSRQ
− Overlapped coverage
− Performance

 Displays problem grids in a problem area on a map based on the severity level.
 Allows users to set thresholds for identifying problem grids and determining severity.
 Displays all problem areas on maps for users to understand problem distribution.
 Identifies the top-50 problem areas, displays the top-50 problem areas in a list. The map
is correlated with the list.

2.4.8 SGNDFD-400060 LTE TDD Intra-Frequency Neighboring Cell


Analysis
Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C10.

Summary
Based on the MR data of common subscribers, topology relationships between the primary
serving cell and its neighboring cells, and handover relationships between cells, this feature
scores and sorts out neighbor relationships and automatically analyzes missing and redundant
neighboring cells in batches.

Benefits
Proper neighbor relationships can ensure that a UE on the edge of a serving cell can hand over
in a timely manner and gains are obtained through soft handovers. This helps reduce intra-
network interference, improve the QoS of the network, and ensure stable network
performance. Missing neighboring cells or improper priorities will cause problems, such as
call drops and communication quality deterioration. A large number of redundant neighboring
cells in an NCL will affect the handover speed. Neighboring cell optimization is a routine
network optimization operation. The automatic analysis function of this feature greatly
improves neighboring cell optimization efficiency and accuracy.

and network quality can be improved. The Discovery can quickly analyze PCI problems to
greatly improve the work efficiency of network optimization engineers and reduce
maintenance costs.

Description
LTE PCI analysis: Analyzes PCIs based on configuration data, engineering parameter data,
and algorithms, and exports PCI analysis reports.
 The LTE PCI analysis supports the following functions:
− Check of PCI consistency of external neighboring cells: This feature checks whether
the information about external cells configured for base station A is consistent with
that configured for base station B. The information includes PCI and frequency
configuration. With the PCI consistency check function, if the configuration
information of these external cells of base station B is modified, the information
about these cells of base station A will be modified accordingly. Therefore, the
handover failures caused by inconsistent parameters are prevented.
− PCI conflict and confusion detection: A PCI conflict refers to the same frequency and
same PCI are shared by a serving cell and its neighboring cells. PCI confusion refers
to the same frequency and same PCI are shared by the neighboring cells of a cell. A
long intra-frequency and co-PCI reuse distance also leads to PCI confusion.
− This feature includes intra-frequency and co-PCI confusion detection, intra-frequency
and co-PCI reuse distance detection, PCI mod30 conflict detection, and reserved PCI
detection.
− This feature checks for cells where PCI conflict or confusion exists, PCI mod30
problems exist, and reserved PCIs are used, and displays the PCI consistency check
results in tables and maps.
 LTE PCI analysis reports can be exported as .csv, .xls, or .xlsx files. An LTE PCI
analysis report contains the following information:
− PCI consistency check on external neighboring cells: exports external neighboring
cells of a cell and the cells whose external neighboring cells have inconsistent PCIs.
− PCI conflict and confusion check: exports cells where PCI confusion and conflicts
are detected based on configured neighbor relationships, helping engineers modify
PCIs based on check results.
− Intra-frequency and co-PCI reuse distance check
 Cells with PCI problems are displayed on maps.

2.4.12 SGNDFD-400110 LTE TDD User Group Analysis (RAN)


Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C00.

Summary
This feature defines subscribers whom customers concern about, such as high-value
subscribers and subscribers frequently complaining about network problems, as subscriber
groups in advance, takes proactive assurance on the communication service quality of these
subscribers in the entire network or in hotspot areas, evaluates the traffic, coverage, and
abnormal events of the subscriber groups, and drills down the CHRs of individual subscribers
for in-depth analysis.

3.1.15 SGNDFD-900080 Subscriber Identifier Encryption


Availability
This feature is introduced in GENEX Discovery V200R002C10.

Summary
The Discovery provides a series of measures for protecting communication privacy of
subscribers, for example, deleting communication content, short message content, dual tone
multiple frequency (DTMF) key content, Email content, MMS content, and web page
browsing content, and scrambling subscriber identifier information (such as MSISDN and
IMSI) on the GUI. The Discovery also provides a subscriber identifier (MSISDN/IMSI)
encryption solution for customers. This solution uses a unidirectional irreversible encryption
algorithm to encrypt subscriber identifiers before storing them so that users of the Discovery
system cannot identify subscribers' personal information. Customers can use either the
hardware encryption method (default) or software encryption method.

Benefits
This feature ensures private data security of subscribers, preventing operators from violating
subscriber privacy.

Description
If personal communication data is used inappropriately, private information may be disclosed.
Countries and regions around the world have personal data protection requirements in laws
and regulations. The Discovery uses a unidirectional irreversible encryption algorithm to
encrypt subscriber identifiers (such as MSISDN and IMSI) before storing them. In problem
demarcation and service assurance, encrypted subscriber identifiers are used for analysis.
Customers can use either the hardware encryption method (default) or software encryption
method. In hardware encryption, keys are stored in third-party encryption servers (specified
by customers) and the encryption process is executed completely on the servers to ensure key
security. The encryption servers are managed by operators. In software encryption, the
Discovery encrypts subscriber identifiers using software algorithms, and keys are specified
and entered by users. The keys are encrypted and stored in the system to prevent disclosure.
Personal communication records of subscribers are all stored using ciphertexts. The
information will not be disclosed even if the hard disks are exposed.
Encrypted personal numbers are displayed on the system GUI and O&M personnel uses the
encrypted numbers for problem demarcation and service assurance.
