Huawei Wireless Network User Group Newsletter, Oct 2012 Overview All eight Top N projects determined at the 2011 Huawei Wireless User Group Meeting (WUG 2011) have now passed the Deploy & Verify phase milestones. In October 2012, Huawei will select appropriate projects that meet the requirements to summarize and standardize. WUG 2011 Top N Project Milestones All the results of improvements and customer feedback are detailed as follows: Sub-Project #1: Frontline Technical Skills Improvement No. Problem Analysis Proposed Solutions 1 Training and learning mechanisms need to improve. Usability of training documents concerning typical network problems (relevant to voice, speed, dropped calls, and IP problems) needs to improve. Identify specific team to analyze typical network problems and complete development of 34 training courses by Q2 2012. 2 Skills transfer processes from headquarters to local staff need to be optimized. Responsibilities of local offices need to be clearly defined. Optimize process for skills transfer from headquarters to local offices: 80% of senior supervisors will be assigned to oversee transfer of skills to frontline staff in 2012. 3 Training programs not effectively implemented at local offices. Improvement targets for local staff skills are not clearly defined. Set skills improvement targets and encourage local staff to self-study. Organize headquarters experts to deliver training at local offices on a regular basis (550 local staff will receive training in 2012). Select key local staff to attend long-term training programs at R&D on
Customers can much more easily obtain documentation: Streamlined more than 30,000 old customer accounts. Added more than 3,000 new customer accounts. Sub-Project #1: Control of Northbound Interface Changes No. Problem Analysis Proposed Solutions 1 O&M baseline needs to be improved. Improve O&M baseline in Q2 2012: reinforce O&M planning and design baseline restrictions. From SingleRAN8.0 on, realize consistent alarms and consistent software upgrade model. 2 O&M changes and interconnection interfaces changes occur due to software upgrade. Minimize changes of O&M model and northbound interfaces for SingleRAN7.0. 3 Northbound interfaces are not strictly frozen within three months prior to the GA point. Northbound control team monitors the freezing of northbound interfaces within three months prior to GA on a regular basis and ensures the accuracy of interface documents. Sub-Project #1 Result: To resolve O&M planning and design restrictions, we outputted an O&M baseline “Operational Process and Pain Point Overview” to guide SingleRAN 8.0 planning and design. Achieved minimal changes to O&M models and northbound interfaces. Succeeded to freeze northbound interfaces within three months prior to GA in SingleRAN 7.0. Sub-Project #2: O&M Efficiency Improvement No. Problem Analysis Proposed Solutions
Sub-Project #1: Improve Capacity Planning Capability No. Problem Analysis Proposed Solutions 1 Capacity visibility tools or services need to be developed. Include capacity visibility tools to be used for regular planning. Provide capacity visibility reports in the Performance Surveillance (PRS) by Q3 2012 and GUI support in 2013. Give guidance service about capacity planning to customers by Q3 2012. Sub-Project #1 Result: Capacity monitor will be changed from a counter to a GUI in 2012 Q3, which is clearer in observing resource usage and finding bottlenecks. Close to a 20% improvement in air interface capacity in RAN14.0. Sub-Project #2: Improve Capacity Processing Efficiency No. Problem Analysis Proposed Solutions 1 A resource sharing mechanism should be developed between RNCs and between SPUs within the same RNCs. For SinleRAN8.0, launch new BSC6910 that supports dynamic configuration of CP/UP and CP pool, and BSC6910 supports forming the RNC pool with BSC6900. 2 NodeB signaling processing capability needs to improve. Increase NodeB signaling processing capability of SingleRAN7.0 to ten times higher than that of SingleRAN6.0. Sub-Project #2 Result: BSC6910 (new RNC) will improve capacity efficiency by supporting pools on three levels: dynamic CP/UP on one board, CP pool and UP pool between boards in RNC, pool between RNCs. BSC6910 will be GA in 2013 Q2. Signaling capacity for NodeB has been improved to 1,500 CNBAP/s from 250 CNBAP/s for SingleRAN 8.0 with new hardware. Sub-Project #3: Ensure KPIs for Key Events No. Problem Analysis Proposed Solutions 1 VIP assurance needs to be improved and service assurance solutions need For SingleRAN7.0, ensure system stability and service experience through intelligent access controls. For SingleRAN8.0, provide resource reserves for VIP customers to ensure access and service experience.
