XEDA Sync

+ XEUS Smart Client

XEDA + XEUS Integrated

Conventional PM & CM Based Architecture

Data from Live Networks (PM Counters & CM & FM)

Data is collected daily and stored in XEDA database.

Quick snapshot overview enables customer care team to have overview of network health

Field Based Optimization

Drive Test Logs TMR GPEH / CHR/ Megamon Logs

One Platform designed for Customer Complaints engineers. Capable of viewing CM, PM, FM from XEDA, DT and GPEH data. No more running around collecting reports for analysis.

XEDA to collect process and create CM Error Reports + KPI report + Alarm

XEUS talks to XEDA so RF Teams have one snapshot view on problem events and trace the issue quickly and efficiently.


XEDA OPTIMIZATION PLATFORMData Correlation and Automated Diagnostics


Integrated Dashboard for Overview of Network


Multi Vendor, Multi Technology Network

Integrated Web Map with multi data source view

Powerful overview tool by geographical location

Easy checking and troubleshooting by location.

Powerful planning tool for expansion and re-homing / re-parenting.

XEDA CONSISTENCY CHECK SOLUTION

Managing Multi-vendor and multi-technology networks


Solution Setup

DashboardReporting

Live CM data from all vendors and

technologies


Automated Rules based checks across multi-vendor and technologies and multiple nodes> 80 Built In Rules

Inter-vendor and inter-RAT relation rules Identify External Utran Cell that has different scrambling code and UARFCNDL from the actual internal cellIdentify External GSM Cell that has different BCCH or BSIC value from the actual Internal cell

Vendor specific rulesIdentify GSM Cell that have two or more Neighbors with same BCCH and BSIC pairMissing MBCCHNO (Ericsson)

MSC rulesIdentify External GSM cell of neighboring MSC that is not defined as Outer Cell of the serving MSC.

LTE rulesIdentify External EUtran Cell that has different PCI value from the actual Internal cell in Ericsson LTE.

What is Traffic Measurement Recording ?

Built-in logging system that collects RRC, NBAP, RANAP, Internal, NAS messages.

Rich data source for RF optimization Engineers. XEUS is the key to analyzing it.

Different vendor formats include Ericsson (GPEH), Huawei (CHR), NSN (Megamon), ZTE (CTS)

Similar to having a Protocol Analyzer in each RNC
