ACTIX ANALYZER 1. Analyzer Classic 2. Spotlight The Network Explorer is a tool available from the Cells menu that allows you to import network elements from delimited text files possibly exported from a planning tool and store this data in a text file called cellrefs.txt located at C:\ProgramData\Actix\Analyzer\Bin\CellRefs\cellrefs.txt The Site ID field must contain a unique value for each site location.Longitudes with West notation and latitudes with South notation should be represented as a negative decimal. Important cell site parameters include: Site Name Site Number SiteID Latitude Longitude Sector Number Azimuth Antenna HPBW PN Offset Base Station Power MCC List of neighbors In order to provide a reasonably small number of data points from both a computing and an analysis perspective, Analyzer aggregates logged data into groups called bins. The aggregation method used to create one bin from many data points depends on the type of parameter. For example, measurement parameters, such as UTRA_CarrierRSSI and UetransmittedPower, are binned by averaging all component measurements into one data point. For network state parameters, such as scrambling codes, a bin is given the mostfrequently occurring value (the mode) among the component measurements. Events, such as dropped calls and handovers, are binned by the number of events occurring within the component measurements. Change the binning method 1 Within Analyzer, from the Tools menu, select Preferences to open the Preferences dialog. 2 Under the heading Binning, select the appropriate Binning Mode. A typical setting for viewing drive test data would be to select Time binning, with Time (ms) set to 1000. 3 Click OK to accept the changes. To load all messages in the data 1 From the Tools menu, select Preferences to open the Preferences dialog. 2 Under the heading General Settings > Load Speed Default, select Load All. The default value is Load Time Message Filtering (fast). 3 Click OK to accept the changes. MapInfo layers are named according to the geographic location of the data MapInfo data types: Suffix Y1 Y2 X1 X2 Pc Pn Pm R H S Wr Wb Lm Cb Mc Cy Layer Type RtHwy010_Top RtHwy010_Bot IntShld010 IntShld1040 Cultural Points Natural Points Municipal Points Railroads Highways Streets Water (rivers) Water (bodies of water) Landmarks City Boundary Minor Civic Division County Color lines Technology CDMA GSM iDEN IS_136 UMTS Attribute PN_1stBestEcIo ServBCCH Channel FACCH_CurChannel Uu_ActiveSet_SC A solid line is drawn to the serving cell site, with dotted lines drawn to neighboring cells. To search for an attribute: Ctrl + Shift + F If the title of a particular series is too long to see easily in the legend pane, right click on the series name and select Multipath from the options to split the name over two lines. Integrating reverse/forward link (uplink/downlink) data - superstreaming The reverse link data from the switch or a protocol analyzer can be integrated with the drive-test data. This lets you see how parameters such as Ec/Io behave at specific mobile locations. 1 Ensure that you have loaded the two files that you want to synchronize into a superstream. 2 From the View menu, select Superstream to open the Superstreaming dialog. This dialog shows all currently available data streams. 3 Change the superstream name from the default to something more meaningful. 4 Check the box of each data stream that you want to combine to form a superstream. You can also use the All or None buttons to change the box settings of every listed data stream. 5 Click the Settings button. This expands the dialog to show the Merge Method options. 6 To superstream data from the reverse link and the forward link, click the Correlated Parameters option. This lets you select attributes from each stream that correspond to one another. 7 Highlight the uplink data stream. 8 From the attribute picker button on the right, select a suitable attribute, for example 'Cell_PN_Primary'. 9 Highlight the downlink data stream. 10 From the attribute picker, select for example 'PN_Primary'. 11 Click OK. The superstream is now generated and appears in the Attribute Explorer. ActixQueries 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
