3 ACTIX User Manual

Firstly ……. How can we install Actix ?

………………………………………………. Finish



4 ACTIX User Manual

After starting Analyzer, choose how you want to proceed by selecting an engineering process.

We will start with “Analyzer Classic” then “Spotlight” So…..Select Analyzer “Classic” and enjoy…



5 ACTIX User Manual

After Actix setup we need to create workspace .. View >> Display new map



6 ACTIX User Manual

Loading cell file… Unfortunately Actix isn’t compatible with TEMS cell file, It accept “Cell Ref ” . How can we create “Cell Ref ”? Open TEMS cell file and delete the first raw

Save the file as “ Text (Tab delimited)”



7 ACTIX User Manual

Actix >> Cells >> Network Explorer

Import from new template

Open the text file



8 ACTIX User Manual

Write templete name >> next

GSM_Cells >> Sector_ID >> Select CI

Repeat for each of the fields in the GSM_Cell node and GSM_Site node then press finish…



9 ACTIX User Manual

Repeat the same procedures to create 3G Cell Ref.



10 ACTIX User Manual

Load “Egypt map” as shown below

Enjoy




How can you load cell ref ? Tools >> Preferences >> CellRefs >>File Location >> Open it




Now we are ready for log files analysis... 2G Log Files analysis Load 2G log files

After loading log files we should merge them to be one log file Tools >> Create Superstream




Select MS1 and change name to be “2G DT” Note: MS1>2G , MS2 > 3G

Open 2G interfaces that help you for log files analysis Right click on log files >> Display From >> GSM interfaces as shown below ….one by one




2G analyzer interface:

Plot Rxlev 2G DT >> Down Link Measurements >> ServRxLevSub >> Drag to the map




Modify ranges and adjust colors :




Plot Rx qual







Plot serving CI 2G DT >> Serving Cell Parameters >> ServCI >> right click: Display on map




Plot Events 2G DT >> TEMS >> TEMSEventHandoverOk >> Drag to map

If you want to run log files:




3G Log Files analysis Create 3G DT super stream by merging log files (MS2)

Create 3G analyzer interface




Plot RSCP 3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_RSCP >> Uu_ActiveSet_RSCP_0




Plot Ec/No 3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_Ec/No >> Uu_ActiveSet_Ec/No_0

Plot Active set count (Number of cells in Active set list)




3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_Count

Plot serving cells (Scrambling codes): 3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_SC >> Uu_ActiveSet_SC_0




Plot RSCP footprint of specific cell (CS) 3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Pilot Measurements >> CPICH_AllSets_UE_RSCP_For_SC >> select your SC

Plot 3G Events 3G DT >> TEMS >> TEMS Event




HSDPA Throughput analysis 3G UMTS >> Down Link Measurements >>3G HSDPA >> Uu_HSDPA_Throughput_MAC >> Display on Workbook

Excell sheet will be opened as shown.




Using Pivot chart, create the below graph

How can we export log files to Tab file or Kml file? Actix make it very easy







By Actix we can plot DT directions

It’s very easy to convert DT results to Histogram using Actix!!




How Can We Generate KPIs Report By Actix? From Analysis..

UMTS Drive Test Analysis




The O/P will be...




UMTS Call Statistics







The O/P will be...

UMTS Call Setup Analysis




The O/P will be...







New engineering process >> Spotlight

Create new project




Select cell ref

Add log files




GSM Spotlight Report




The below is the O/P report …







Event Explorer

The Event Explorer provides a detailed analysis of critical failure events such as Call Drops and Call Setup Failures.




Ex: We need to analyze the below dropped call

Nice……the below is the dropped call analysis it’s very easy way …




Using Filters

Really …..It’s very good feature…..It enable us to filter on bad quality spots




Attributes




Radio Network Analysis Spotlight contains the following Radio Network Analysis:

- Coverage Analysis. - Allows you to perform wide area coverage-based analyses in GSM, it determines the coverage

footprint of cells and identifies - Overshoot against coverage design boundaries.




The page operates in two modes: Best Server and Where Seen. Changing the mode affects the Rxlev attribute that is displayed on the map. In Best Server mode, the Rxlev when the selected cell was the best server is displayed (note that in this mode, Raquel can be seen). In Where Seen mode, the Rxlev whenever the cell was measured is displayed.




Quality Tab:

Distance Tab:




The Visualization tab:

There is a good feature for detecting cross sectors. It indicates % of samples >180 degree beam width.

Ex:




Also, we can use Filters and attributes as shown before…….
