3 Application layer improvements

3.1 Generic

Some attribute spelling mistakes have been corrected.

3.2 Spotlight

A new Spotlight LTE KPI “4G – 3G/2G Missing Neighbor Analysis” has been implemented in order to help building the GSM and UMTS neighbour list of the LTE cells in a network. At every location bin, Spotlight determines the best sector for each EARFCN from either LTE scanner or handset data (LTE handset data is only used if no LTE scanner data is available). If the strongest LTE sector is weaker than a threshold, Spotlight uses the GSM and UMTS scanner data to determine

what neighbours should be added, retained or removed from the inter-technology neighbour list.

Actix Analyzer Update October 2012 7

The following parameters can be configured:

▫ LTE coverage criteria applied on each bin: it may not be

required to look for possible inter-technology neighbours in places where LTE coverage is good.

▫ GSM and UMTS coverage criteria: a cell is not a suitable inter-

technology neighbor for an LTE cell if its signal is too weak, if it is too far from the LTE cell, or if it is seen only rarely as a possible neighbour. The maximum number of GSM and UMTS neighbours that can be defined for the LTE cells is also configurable.

[Case 66837] The Missing Neighbours tab has been improved in order to be populated with correct results for all known logfiles.
