DAISY 2G Swap: Assumptions

DAISY supports the daily swap activities for a “parcel” scenario, where sites are swapped in “clusters”. At every “cluster swap”, DAISY calculates parameters using internal mapping rules, fixes all the incoming/out coming neighbors, and generates the proper data for the NetAct.

The tool is able to manage a general M:N BSC swap scenario, and It can be used for GEMINI (providing input as “.asc” ex-Siemens DB in ACL format) or in Multivendor projects (using a general purpose Excel template).

DAISY works together with Plan Editor to generate data for the NetAct. After the initial configuration of Plan Editor there is no need to access it again, since DAISY is able to directly interwork with the tool to upload the generated cluster plan and to export it toward NetAct.

DAISY 2G Swap Assumptions

- BSC must be already integrated to the Core Network;

- BSC must be already integrated to NetAct, so that plan provisioning is possible;

- BSC, as a logical object, must be already created in RNW DB;

- DAISY doesn’t provide all parameters needed to build up the objects, but only the relevant ones: the “default” parameter values for each objects have to be already defined in Plan Editor’s templates . The PE templates will be referred by DAISY, when importing data into PE.

MUSA-DAISY Startup: Project creation

The first time you run the tool two choices are available:

- use the Demo Project already present

- create a new empty project, to store your input and output files generated by DAISY.

To create an empty project, when the “Select Project” dialog appears, press the “New Project ” button…

…and type your project name

A Project can represent a BSC to be swapped, a group of them, a Town, an area, etc.

At each DAISY project corresponds a folder in the MUSA\Projects directory, where the tool will search for input (by default) and will store all its output data.

DAISY 2G Swap: Phases

Initial Configuration:discussion with the customer, TRS planning considerations, Plan Editor setting. DAISY is used to create TRS configurations.

Plan Definition: the start of the BSC swap. Definition of the scenario. Ex-Siemens DB is provided in ACL format.

Cluster Swap: sites are swapped in clusters, day by day. The cluster can be easily defined graphically using the GUI. Planner must fill few data inputs.

time

DAISY “ideal” time-process: complexity mostly placed in the two initial phases, which should be executed only once, defining and mapping all configurations.

Of course users can use the tool in a more “iterative”way, pairing configurations step by step, after each cluster swap.

DAISY 2G Swap: Configurations PhaseUnfortunately TRS data objects can not begenerated directly and automatically fromthe ex-Siemens counterpart, as mostlyhappen for objects of the radio part.

The Configurations button gives access to the NSN Configurations page. Here the user can see all available configurations, used to generate the TRS part for the swapping sites. The user can import a set of already prepared configurations or creates them starting from scratch.

DB Import/DB Export functions, useful in case of TRS configurations distribution among local offices/projects.

This button opens the Configuration Editor , to create, modify, or delete items.

Using this button it is possible to close the page and return to the standard “network” view of DAISY.

Listed here are all NSN TRS Configurations available for thesite swap.

DAISY 2G Swap: Configuration Editor (1/3)The Configuration Editor is divided in several frames, which must be used to create/select items. A timeslots representation of the selected PCM is given using colors for each kind of TRS object.

PCM frame: to add up to 4 PCM objects.

Sites frame, to add all sites that belong to the configuration.

Cells frame, to specify the number of sectors for the selected site (in the frame above)

The grid gives a “timeslot picture” for the selected PCM. On the grid it is possible to place and see TRS objects.

TRX frame: to add TRXs needed by the

selected site.

LAPD/MUX frame: it can be used to

specify MUX for the selected site.

Parameters frame, to see all available

properties of the selected item.

To close the Editor.

DAISY 2G Swap: Configurations Editor (2/3)

The Configuration control at the top of the window can be use to select an already created NSN TRS configuration, for review or changes. At the beginning, the Editor is always set in read-onlymode.

Immediately on the right, a group of buttons permits to create new configurations and to change the editor from read-only to modify mode. The save button stores changes and return to the read-only mode. Finally the delete button can be used to erase unwanted configurations.

Summary of the steps needed to create a new configu ration1. Press the “+” button and select “+ Empty ”

2. Add as many PCMs as your configuration needs (PCM frame)

3. Add all your sites (Sites frame)

4. Selecting one site at time, create all the required sectors (Cells frame)

5. Add TRXs for the selected site, using for example the layout button present in the TRX frame: typing 222 for example means: “add 2 TRXs on the first sector, 2 more TRXs on the second one, and further 2 TRXs on the third and last one”.

6. Add all the MUX objects required by the selected site (LAPD/MUX frame)

7. Select a PCM and right-click on the grid to place any TRS objects usingthe context menu tree.

DAISY 2G Swap: Configurations Editor (3/3)

To place a TRX on the PCM grid, right-click on the first sub-timeslot and from the context menu select the site and Traffic Channel type. A group of 8 sub-timeslots will be created. After the creation, the user can still change the channel type for each sub-timeslot.Note : [COPY] means to map the channel type from the ex-Siemens one.

Examples of TRX-Sig placement in an empty sub-timeslot or in a MUX. A TRX-Sig can be added on a PCM only after the corresponding TRX has been placed.

An example of O&M placement in an empty sub-timeslot. The “width” of the object must be selected: 16 kbps (1 STL), 32 kbps (2 STL), 64 kbps (1 TS = 4STL). The O&M LAPD can be also inserted in an already existent MUX.

An example of EDAP placement: selecting “Add… ” the tool will asks for the number of TS (rows) which will be allocated for that object.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseThe Plan Definition phase must be executedonly once (or few times) at the beginning ofthe Swap of one or more BSC.

During this phase the user defines the swap type , the scenario , provides the source ex-Siemens DBs (in ACL format), and optionally an “.mdb”file from Plan Editor.

DAISY analyzes input files to identify all the TRS configurations in terms of PCMB, BTSM, TRX, LPDLM, etc. All the collected information are also saved in some output reports for user reference.

At the end of the process, each ex-Siemens schemas can be mapped to the NSN one,defined with the previous Configuration button.

The first step after the pressing of the Plan Definition button is the selection of the Swap Type :Siemens BR 9.0 � NSN RG 10Siemens BR 10.0 � NSN RG 10Multivendor � NSN RG 10

The last option permits to replace the ex-Siemens DB in ACL format with a generic Excel file containing all relevant objects and parameters. It can be useful in swap scenario from other vendors. The Excel template required in this case can be found in the Musa\Help folder.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseThe second step of the Plan Definitionconsists of the choice of the Swap Scenario in terms of number of ex-S BSCs to be swapped into the NSN ones (N:M scenario).

The tool asks for an Excel file containing the so called Swap Plan :

In the example above, we define 3 ex-S BSCs (1, 5, 30) belonging to the Milan Radio Commander which must be swapped into 2 new NSN BSCs (33357 and 33366). The “*”notation means “all CGI”. So we define a 3:2 scenario where all sites will be moved with the same CGI. The user can also specify a different map between source and target CGI (e.g. to change the LAC) row by row.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseAs a third step the user can specify User Defined parameters, creating one or more User Sets , which can be assigned later to group of cells.

DAISY assumes that most parameters are already defined in PE templates : it doesn’t handle all parameters but only the relevant subset.

Basically there are 4 different operations performed on parameters by DAISY:

Translation from ex-Siemens DB by means of a mapping rule.Calculated parameters: for some reason the value cannot be translated from the ex-Siemens side, but is calculated autonomously according to a rule.User Defined (considered here): the user has to define those parameters which either do not exist in ex-Siemens network, or have different meaning, and DAISY can not calculate it.Synchronized : parameters having an interdependency between different object in RNW DB, and requiring a consistency check (e.g. in the target object of the ADCE/ADJW)

DAISY 2G SWAP: Parameters Mapping (2/2)

Then also a Parameter Mapping based on Feature has been done like for the following features:• AMR (AMR_HOC, AMR_POC, AMR_HR);

• Hopping (SFH, Dynamic SFH, BBH);

• Half Rate

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseNow it is time to specify the ex-Siemens BSC databases.

The user must provide at least each ex-Siemens BSC written in the Cluster Plan: BSC 1, 5, 30 in the example below.

DAISY can read BSC databases in ACL format (.asc/.acl). Since the identification of the BSC using the internal MELId can be ambiguous, all the requested files must be stored in folder on Radio Commander (RC) basis. In our example all three files are located in a folder representing the Milan RC.

DAISY will ask the user to specify sequentially those folders.

All .asc/.acl files must be stored in a folder structure divided by Radio Commander.

Note: Ex-Siemens BSC DBs available in “dba”format must be converted into “asc” format before using them in DAISY.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseAfter the import of all ex-Siemens BSCs the tool shows a log window reporting a summary of all sites, cells, TRXs, and neighbors read from them.

During the import phase, DAISY will also analyze some key parameters in order to identify all the used TRS configurations.For each .asc/.acl files, an Excel report file on BTSM, PCMB and TRX basis is created. In addition a “configurations.xls ”file with a graphical representation of the TRS schema is provided. All those files are stored in a new folder with the following name convention: <date>-<time>-<BSC filename>located in you Project folder .

Configurations.xls

Sites.xls

PCMBs.xls

TRXs.xls

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseThe “configurations.xls ” report can be very useful to understand how the transmission part is organized in the considered BSC for all the contained sites. It shows a diagram of all “chains”(PCMs shared by several sites) including the number of sectors, TRXs, EDGE capabilities, LAPD for TRX Signaling and O&M. The elements in the pictures are the most important ones for the matching with the NSN TRS configurations defined with the “Configurations ” button. In particular please pay attention to the LAPD timeslots .

This report can be also used to define clusters: in the example below it makes sense to swap all together BTSM 0, BTSM 1, BTSM 2 sharing PCM 0 and 18.

3 sites (BTSM 0, 1, 2) in a “drop”configuration of 2 PCM (id=0 and 18).

BTSM 0 has 1 sector, 2 TRX (GE = the first GSM/GPRS, the second EDGE). There are one LAPD on the first timeslot of the PCM 0 (P0:T1) and another LAPD on first timeslot of the PCM 18 (P18:T1).

BTSM 1: 1 sector, 3 TRX (GEG), LAPD on second timeslot of PCM 0 and PCM 18

BTSM 2: 1 sector, 2 TRX (GE), LAPD on timeslot 3 of both PCMs.

1 site (BTSM 3) in a “star” configuration on PCM with id 1. The site has 3 sector with 2 TRX each (222). The EDGE is present on the second TRX of each sector (GE GE GE). LAPD is located on timeslot 1.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition Phase

In case the NSN BSC is not empty, optionally the user can provide a Plan Editor “.mdb” file containing already integrated sites. In this way DAISY can calculate correctly neighbors considering the presence of those initial sites.

In case the user selects this option, the successive “Synchronization ” steps will be performed to make some consistency checks between ex-Siemens and NSN DBs. Otherwise the user can skip them pressing the corresponding buttons.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseThe last step of the Plan Definition is the Configuration Pairing : here the user creates a link between ex-Siemens TRS schemas and NSN configurations already prepared with the “Configurations ” button.

During the swap, TRS objects (PCM, DAP, LAPD, partly TRX objects) will be generated according the selected NSN TRS configuration.

It is possible to skip the selection for some schemas: for all sites that belong to an unmatched schema only the radio part will be generated by DAISY . It is also possible to skip the selection at all, pressing the “Skip ” button on the bottom of the window.

Finally, the “View NSN Conf. ”button can be used to open the Configuration Editor, to review possible matchingcandidates.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Definition PhaseAfter the Plan Definition wizard ends, the main window will show two panels containing all imported objects from ex-Siemens (on the left) and NSN (if provided, on the right).

The tree structure can be expanded to analyze in details imported sites, cells, TRXs, neighbors, etc.

Also parameters, features, and TRS information (relevant for the swap mapping rules) can be shown expanding the “Params ”nodes for the desired object.

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster Definition PhaseAfter the Plan Definition , usually performed only once at the beginning, the user can swapsites in clusters on daily basis.

To start the swap procedure, the first operation is the definition of the cluster by means of the “Cluster Def. ” button: DAISY will show a dialog window and the user can simply drag and drop sites from the left side to the right one (or use “>” and “<“ controls).

Drag and Drop of sites to define the Cluster

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster Definition PhaseAfter the cluster building, it is possible to press the “OK”button to generate the corresponding Cluster File in Excel format (the tool will ask for the target location and the filename).

Then MS Excel is started to open this file, to let the user to fill the part not already prepared automatically by DAISY.

Here it is possible to view a commented template of the Cluster File.

The Cluster File will represent the input for the next Cluster Swapphase: with it the user can provide further user defined parameters (on site or cell basis) and see enabled ex-S features. The Cluster File gives also the flexibility to change feature implementation of the swapping sites (orange columns) and to “override”parameter values calculated using the “hard-coded” mapping rules (blue columns).Microsoft Excel

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster File Example (1/5)In the next slides an example of Cluster File filling will be shown in details.

Consider to swap the chain of PCM 0/18, shared by the three sites BTSM 0, 1, and 2, (found in the report file “Configurations.xls ”). Assume that this schema was already matched in the Plan Definition phase with a “compatible” NSN configuration made of 2 PCMs and 3 sites, created in the Configurations phase.

In the Cluster Definition phase such cluster will be built moving on the right BTSM 0, 1 and 2 with the drag & drop.

The Cluster file below will be saved and directly opened in Excel. At least the highlighted region must be checked/filled by the user.

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster File Example (2/5)About the radio part, the Cluster File can be filled simply giving BTS Name, BTS nwName, and BTS maioOffset (mandatory if SFH is enabled).

The BCF Name is calculated automatically by DAISY with an increment of 3 or 6 (depending on the number of sectors) checking for collisions. In our case DAISY generates the following name correspondence:

BTSM 0 � BCF 1BTSM 1 � BCF 4BTSM 2 � BCF 7

However, the user can freely overwrite and change the BCF Name, in case the project requires a different rule.

Finally, the User Set parameter can be modified in order to assign to each site the desired User Defined parameters (basically Plan Editor templates for each objects).

In addition, to show a possible mapping rule override, the LAC will be changed (usually LAC is copied from ex-Siemens DB). To force that parameter, a new column is added in the blue area using the correct NSN parameter name (as it is indicated in the Plan Editor dictionary). Since the LAC is a parameter on BTS basis, values must be written in the “white” rows (cell type rows) and not in the “green” ones (site type rows). The LAC will be changed as follow: 30104 � 10104.

Syntax for “parameter override”:

(OBJ) <param.name>

(<optional index for sub-cell obj>)

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster File Example (3/5)

To complete the radio part, now the yellow and orange area of the Cluster File will be described.

In the yellow part, DAISY indicates the features activated for each site in the ex-Siemens DB. This part is read-only, and is reported for user reference. The “*” character means that the corresponding feature was found “active” for the BTSM or for the BTS objects.

The orange part gives a mapping with the features available in the NSN side and supported by DAISY. The user can change the implemented NSN feature deleting or adding the “*”character. The activation of an NSN feature will change the internal mapping rules for the involved parameters.

Features mapping between ex-Siemens and NSN sides

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster File Example (4/5)To complete the Cluster File filling with the TRS part (in red), we have to consider how the assigned NSN configuration (on the left) is internally made.

The NSN configuration has 2 PCM and three sites, named Site#1, Site#2, and Site#3, with one sector each, as can be seen from with Configuration Editor (on the right).

Site#1 has 2 TRXs. The first TRX (Site#1 – TRX#1) is located on the first PCM, the second TRX with EDGE capabilities is located on the second PCM. For that reason EDAP for Site#1 is located on the second PCM too. Signaling is present on the first timeslot of each PCM.

Site#2 and Site#3 have the EDGE TRXs (TRX#2) on the first PCM, where is located also the Site#2 – EDAP and Site#3 EDAP.

For each site there are two MUX objects with O&M and TRX-SIG. The position of the LAPD are the same indicated in the ex-Siemens schema.

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster File Example (5/5)To summarize, the elements needed to correctly fill the Cluster File are:

(A) BCF / Site# assignment: DAISY need to know which site will be considered the Site#1 of the configuration, the Site#2, etc. The “Config Site No. ” column is used to create this link.

(B) Since our NSN configuration has two PCMs, we need the PCM ID for the first PCM andPCM ID for the second one. Columns “PCM ID 1” and “PCM ID 2” can be used to provide the information.

(C) BCF 1 (= Site#1 of the NSN configuration) has its TRX#2 with EDGE on the second PCM , where is also located its EDAP (Site#1 – EDAP). For that reason the DAP ID must be filled using “DAP ID (PCM 2)” column. BCF 4 (=Site#2) and BCF 7 (=Site#3) have TRX#2 with EDGE and EDAP on the first PCM. Their DAP ID must be indicated in the “DAP ID (PCM 1)” column.

(D) BCSU-PCUs follow the same rule applied at point (C).

After the filling of the Cluster File generatedin the previous Cluster Definition phase, itwill be finally possible to generate Plan Editor data in RAML 2.0 file format.

By pressing the Cluster Swap button the swap wizard will be shown to guide the user in all required steps. Firstly, the tool will asks for the Cluster File. A log window will give a feedback on any errors found.

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster Swap PhaseThe second step will involve User Defined parameters, which are grouped in User Sets .

The window is exactly the same already presented in the Plan Definition phase, and here it is shown again to let the user the possibility to create or change parameters contained in the User Sets , specified in the Cluster File .

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster Swap PhaseThe third “Swap ” step applies the internal mapping rules and calculates objects and neighbors for sites of the considered cluster.

Finally the fourth (and last) “Export ” step will create RAML 2.0 xml files for Plan Editor.

A global file containing all objects to be created (RAML_Delta_All.xml in the shown example) and single files per each object type are generated.

In addition, after the first cluster swap, DAISY can also generate some “delete ” files, that must be processed before the standard “delta ” files.

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster Swap PhaseIn addition to the RAML 2.0 files for Plan Editor, DAISY generates also some “.csv” files.

Fixed-OTHER-ADJ.csv � This file contains the neighbor relations that should be fixed in the other-vendor databases.

Fixed-3G-ADJC.csv � This file contains the neighbor relations that should be fixed in the 3G network. The source cells are indicated using MCC-MNC-RNDID-CELLID.

Fixed-ExS-ADJC.csv � This file contains the neighbor relations that should be fixed in the ex-Siemens DB. A future version of the tool should replace this csv file with CLI scripts, as already done in DAISY for 3G Auto-swap.

DAISY 2G Swap: Cluster Swap PhaseAfter the Cluster Swap , DAISY will show immediately the updated network state, both in the left and right panels: red items represent deleted objects, green items are the created ones, while yellow items are the objects changed by DAISY for some reason (e.g. to fix neighbors that address newly swapped sites). Of course the user can also see any calculated values expanding “Params ” nodes in the right panel.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Editor Data UploadIn order to upload generated RAML 2.0 files for the swapped cluster, there is no need for the user to manually run Plan Editor.

In fact DAISY has a dedicated window to perform that task. The user can select the “Data Upload ” button and gives few inputs, like Plan Editor file path, the folder containing the DAISY xml files just generated in the previous Cluster Swap , the “plan” to be created in Plan Editor.

Then pressing “Execute” , DAISY will run Plan Editor in background, driving the upload of all selected files.

At the end the user could check the result of the operation using the log panel at the bottom.

DAISY 2G Swap: Plan Editor Data ExportAt the same manner, in order to export data from Plan Editor towards NetAct, DAISY offers a dedicated window.

The user can select the “Data Export ” button and gives all the requested inputs: Plan Editor installation path, Plan Editor plan used in the previous “Data Upload ”procedure, the Export profile , and the filename to be created.

Then pressing “Execute ”, DAISY will run Plan Editor in background to get the desired export file.

DAISY 2G Swap: Multi-Vendor SwapDuring the Plan Definition phase, the user can specify the Multi-Vendor swap type .

Selecting this option, DAISY will try to load all the source BSC parametersfrom a general Excel templatethat replaces the ex-SiemensACL file.

Since DAISY can determine the swap scenario and other information directly from such template, the Plan Definition phase will be simplified, requiring only the source template and the optional Plan Editor DB, with the consequent synchronization task.

DAISY 2G Swap: Multi-Vendor Swap

After the end of the Multi-Vendor Plan Definitionphase, the main toolbar is slightly different: the “Cluster Def.” button is no more present.

To perform the sites swap is sufficient only to press the Cluster Swap button.

Also the Cluster file is no more used, since all information to process the cluster were read at the Plan Definition time.

After the pressing of the Cluster Swap button, DAISY will show the Cluster Definition window and immediately after the sites selection, it will generate the Plan Editor data, updating also its internal status.
