Network Elements

Network Elements: The objects of the Communication

Service Provider Network within NIMS-PrOptima.

These objects are categorized into types of Network

Elements (NEs).

Examples: RNC, NodeB, etc. Members:A specific realization of any object , e.g.

object instance, for each NE type of the

Communication Service Provider Network.

Examples: RNC-1, RNC-2, RNC130, etc.

NEs and the types of NEs are identified by icons andaccessible from the Network Elements tab in the

palette.

Introduction


29/149

Mycom Holding Ltd

The Time Palette

Time limits are determined by the current global

context setting.

Selection Time contain members that correspond to

a defined, non-repeated, period of time.

Example: Day, 14 Jan 07, etc. Dispatching Time members have no absolute

reference, and the members corresponds to a

repeatable, periodic time slot.

Example: Day of Week, Quarter Hour of Week

Monday, etc. Selection and Dispatching Time and their members

are identified by icons and accessible from the Time

tab in the palette.

performance data is obtained from source

Details of how NEs are extracted from thedata (RNC, NodeB, FDDCell)

Link details (Parent-Child relationships)

Vendor Technology Interfaces

Topology Management

All NEs that are reporting performance data are identified through CM

or PM files

The complete list of managed object instances is imported once a day

CM topology based on PM files

Dynamic Importation Keys

Mapping PM data to NE instances is critical

The identification of objects in the PM files

and the CM files are not always identical

Re-Parenting Management

Radio Access VTIs are designed to managere-parenting

Reporting integrity is maintained

Network element duplications are avoided

35/149

Mycom Holding Ltd35

Understanding Data Importation

Data is imported at the time

granularity specified within the VTI

for each counter.

In this example the counter data is

imported at Quarter-Hour

granularity.

When an hour of Quarter-Hour

data has been imported it is

aggregated and stored at the hour

level as well.

When a days worth of Hourly data

has been imported it is aggregatedand stored at the Day level as well

All counter data is stored on the

NIMS-PrOptimaTM server in a

multi-dimensional data storage

architecture also called flat files

Aggregations

Aggregations combine the data from one granularity to another

An RNC-level report is computed using FDDCell-level data

An Hourly counter is computed at the Day level

There are several methods of combining the data (sum, average, max, min, etc.) Network Object Model

Defines parent granularity level

Project Books

The Project Book allows you to

consolidate all reports related to

a project within one project

book rather than having to open

all the reports individually.

The project book is easy to

manipulate allowing you to both

view and modify the documents

it contains.

The maximum number of

subdocuments in a project bookis limited to 5. This can be

changed by modifying the

Project.MaxTab property.

Release Tab

The Applicable Releases tab allowsyou to apply NE releases to your

formula. As updates to equipment

occur, it is normal that NEs of various

releases co-exist on the network.

To facilitate the management of suchcases, NIMS-PrOptima associates

an NE_RELEASE parameter to NEs,

which makes it possible to limit

formulas to certain releases, and

offers the capability of creating

multi-release formula

Pre Aggregated Formulas

Pre-Aggregated Formulas

A Pre-Aggregated formula is a formula that is

automatically calculated at importation time

and stored in the database.

When generating a report using a pre-

aggregated formula the data is simply

retrieved from the database rather thanperforming an on-the-fly calculation.

To create a Pre-Aggregated formula create a
