1. The first time that the page is loaded a dialog will be presented to the user asking them to accept the java applet that the web page utilizes to communicate with the File Catalyst tool to upload drive test log files.

2. A second dialog may also appear asking the user to accept a further application – which is the File Catalyst application.

Step 1 – Input Email Address


A single (or multiple) email addresses can be entered with the use of semi-colons.

e.g. [email protected];[email protected]

The purpose of this is to alert the submitter (and/or any other user) the status of the Job.

Once the job is submitted, all individuals listed in the email submission will receive regular automated email updates on the progress of the job.

Selecting “+ Add a Support Center Team Member” will allow you to copy a NUSC support engineer if required.

mailto:[email protected];[email protected]

Step 2 – Notify At Each Stage


There are several stages in the process.

Selecting “Notify At Each Stage” will ensure that the listed email addresses will be alerted to them all as the job progresses.

If the user does not select this option, then the standard 3 x emails will be sent. These are:

1. Job ID Created.2. Spotlight Investigation Task Created.3. KPI Report Created.

Step 3 – Adding Files For Upload


Adding files to be uploaded is achieved through the browse file dialogue. Once this button is selected a browser will appear with the default location as the users desktop.

Users can add files (ZIP/RAR/*.log) from desktop or network locations but it should be noted that optimum upload performance can only be achieved from the users local desktop.

When the “Browse” button appears grey this indicates that you must install the latest version of Java.

Step 4 – Selected Files Are Added


Once the files are selected (ZIP/RAR or *.log) they will appear in the selected files. ** Please ensure that all files to be uploaded are compressed. Not doing so will result in extended upload times. **

The client will automatically validate the files to ensure that none are corrupt and that all log files within the ZIP and RAR files are named correctly.

Step 5 – Validation Of Selected Files


The validation logic runs automatically and the client will establish/report if the selected files are corrupt.

If the selected file names are incorrect, the dialogue window (pictured left) will appear allowing the user to easily and quickly rename the files.

Step 6 – Region/Market Selection


Region, Market, Cluster, Sub-Cluster, Scope, Pre-Launch/Post-Launch, Drive Iteration and Venue/Stationary Drive data will be read from the drive test log files and will automatically be populated in the selections.

Please ensure that these selections are verified before submitting the job.

Step 7 – Flexible UE’s & Ad-Hoc


If the naming of the log files is based on the Ad-Hoc convention, (ADH instead of S01 in file name) then a secondary dialogue window will appear requiring that the user populate the UE functions.

This data will be passed to the Actix One platform where this input will be used to correctly generate the KPI report.

Step 8 – Single Site/Infill Site


Selection of the “Single Site/Infill Site” option will allow the user to input the name(s) of the sites being driven.

This data will be appended to the name of the Task ID and KPI report to clearly distinguish from cluster/market drives.

Step 9 – Selection Of Cell Ref


If the cell ref file does not contain all of the cells and/or the correct cell configuration, then a cell ref can be manually selected.

** Please ensure that all cells have been properly undated within the correct databases 24hrs prior to submitting a job. Failure to do so will result in missing cells/sites in the project. **

The following two slides show how to validate the cell ref.

Actix CelRef Validation ProcessMany issues have been reported regarding inaccurate or missing site data listed in the Actix celref(.txt site data file). To obtain the desired results, it is important that drive test logfiles are processed against the most accurate site data available. The following steps should be followed whenever a site data issue is suspected. Step 1– Validate date_UMTS.csvActixOne pulls site data from the following FTP link daily and processes logfiles against site data collected on the same date the drive was performed.

ftp://10.46.36.80Login : ActixPassword : MavMuh#5Directory : UMTS_ActixCellref

The file correlating to the date the drive test was performed should be checked for accuracy. If inaccurate, proceed to step 2. If accurate, contact NUSC POC.

Step 2– Validate source data basesThe previously mentioned file (date_UMTS.csv) is created from data that is stored in multiple locations. If this file is inaccurate, then it may be due to an error in the source data. The following databases should be validated before contacting the appropriate NUSC POC.

OSS Asset (4 Regional Projects)

– Central-UMTS– West-UMTS– NorthEast-UMTS– South-UMTS

InSite

The following page indicates the source DB and the time data is pulled for the UMTS .csv. Data is generally pulled from the 2G/3G OSS after the local maintenance window (6:00 AM).

Step 10 – Submit


“Submit” will start the upload process where a real time upload dialogue will be displayed to visualize progress.

Step 11 – Duplicate Job Submission


After submission, the client will perform a check to see if a job with the same selected criteria already exists within the DB.

If the client identifies another job it will display this information with the Job Id and the email address of the user who submitted this.

By clicking on the Job Id the user will be redirected to the information page regarding this job.

By clicking on the email address of the previous submitter the user will launch a new email to that individual.

If the user chooses to proceed with the job submission, the process will continue normally and the time of submission will be appended to the task name to uniquely identify this task.

Step 12 – File Upload Progress


After submission the file upload progress dialogue window (displayed left) will appear.

** To ensure satisfactory completion of the upload, it is important to maintain this window. Navigating away from or closing this window will result in the failure of the upload and Job **

When using Internet Explorer there may be an issue refreshing the upload window once another window has been overlaid. This is due to the single threaded nature of IE which is not observed in FireFox.

Please do not close the window or kill the session as the upload is still ongoing in the background.

Step 13 – Task ID creation


When the drive test data has been process completely. A task ID will be created. This will be your reference in looking for the process data.

Using the link shown to open the ActixOne webpage. Look for the taskid shown to start working.

Step 14 – GNG KPI report.


After the data is process, an email is sent to show the link for the GNG report.

GNG report is the KPI identified to verify the stats of the drive.

• All columns in the above table can be sorted by clicking on the column header.

• For over shooting cells, best server scanner attribute is recommended.

• For cross feeder sites, where seen scanner attribute is recommended.



Pilot Pollution:-• Selecting the pilot pollution from the scanner analysis,

will show the polluted data bins.• Clicking on any data point will show the polluting cells.• Clicking on any cell from the table will show the bins poluuted by the sector

Polluting sector are shown with the red lines.



Pilot Pollution:-• Verify coverage propagation for polluting site.

Coverage propagation for the selected cell based on the date selected.

- The data shows the distance. No.of samples and percentage for each particular distance.

What is Antenna Visualization?


Antenna Visualization is a functionality of Actix One that allows the user to estimate the effect of any change in antenna tilt.

The user has the capability of adjusting both the electrical and mechanical tilt to simulate the possible improvement/degradation in a particular coverage area.

This feature is embedded in the Pilot Pollution Coverage Analysis.

Antenna Visualization Capability Can:

Simulate coverage based on tilt configuration Provide the end user the ability to visualize the antenna pattern Instantly provide all antenna configuration/attributes Provide an interactive way of analysis with pollution bins and altitude profile



Pilot Pollution:-• Verify tilts.
