Based on configuration data and engineering parameter data the OMStar renders cells with intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells in different
colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and
BSIC as the selected cell

GSM Indoor Distribution
Analysis If the indoor distribution system is not established properly indoor subscribers cannot receive good quality services and outdoor subscribers are also adversely
affected by the indoor distribution system The OMStar provides a simple and accurate method to forecast indoor signal leakage cells and allows users to make
adjustment so that outdoor subscribers are prevented from accessing indoor cells Therefore the indoor cell congestion and call drops of outdoor subscribers are
prevented
The GSM indoor distribution fault check of the OMStar identifies the indoor signal leakage outdoor signal intrusion weak coverage and interference from high

with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and

colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and
BSIC as the selected cell

cluster The OMStar provides some basic themes by default KPI query results can be geographically rendered according to the value ranges
Function Principle
When counters are browsed by hour counter results of each object
are aggregated by hour When counters are browsed by day counter
results are aggregated by day
When the results of one counter for one object in two time segments
are compared the OMStar compares the results of the first day in
the earlier time segment with that of the first day in the later time
segment by default and the results from 0000 through 2300 within

are compared the OMStar compares the results of the first day in
the earlier time segment with that of the first day in the later time
segment by default and the results from 0000 through 2300 within
the two days are compared hourly by default

bull The OMStar queries the lists of neighboring GSM UMTS and LTE cells of a
source cell based on the NE configuration file (MML configuration script) to
determine unidirectional and bidirectional neighboring cells
bull The OMStar counts the number of neighboring cells and compares the number
with the threshold set on the OMStar GUI to determine cells with too many or
too few neighboring cells
bull If engineering parameter data is imported the OMStar calculates the distance
between the source cell and the neighboring cells and compares the calculated
values with the threshold set on the OMStar GUI to determine over distant
neighboring cells
bull The OMStar compares the parameter value configured in the external
neighboring of the source cell and the parameter value in the homing BSC to
check consistency of an external neighboring cell parameter

are aggregated by hour When counters are browsed by day counter
results are aggregated by day
When the results of one counter for one object in two time segments
are compared the OMStar compares the results of the first day in
the earlier time segment with that of the first day in the later time
segment by default and the results from 0000 through 2300 within
the two days are compared hourly by default

Based on configuration data and engineering parameter data the OMStar renders cells with intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells in different
colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and
BSIC as the selected cell

Analysis If the indoor distribution system is not established properly indoor subscribers cannot receive good quality services and outdoor subscribers are also adversely
affected by the indoor distribution system The OMStar provides a simple and accurate method to forecast indoor signal leakage cells and allows users to make
adjustment so that outdoor subscribers are prevented from accessing indoor cells Therefore the indoor cell congestion and call drops of outdoor subscribers are
prevented

colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and

Algorithm Principle
bull The OMStar queries the lists of neighboring GSM UMTS and LTE cells of a
source cell based on the NE configuration file (MML configuration script) to
determine unidirectional and bidirectional neighboring cells
bull The OMStar counts the number of neighboring cells and compares the number
with the threshold set on the OMStar GUI to determine cells with too many or
too few neighboring cells
bull If engineering parameter data is imported the OMStar calculates the distance
between the source cell and the neighboring cells and compares the calculated
values with the threshold set on the OMStar GUI to determine over distant
neighboring cells
bull The OMStar compares the parameter value configured in the external
neighboring of the source cell and the parameter value in the homing BSC to
check consistency of an external neighboring cell parameter

with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and

GSM Frequency Check Function Description
Based on configuration data and engineering parameter data the OMStar renders cells with intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells in different
colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and
BSIC as the selected cell

Algorithm Principle
bull The OMStar queries the lists of neighboring GSM UMTS and LTE cells of a
source cell based on the NE configuration file (MML configuration script) to
determine unidirectional and bidirectional neighboring cells
bull The OMStar counts the number of neighboring cells and compares the number
with the threshold set on the OMStar GUI to determine cells with too many or
too few neighboring cells
bull If engineering parameter data is imported the OMStar calculates the distance
between the source cell and the neighboring cells and compares the calculated
values with the threshold set on the OMStar GUI to determine over distant
neighboring cells
bull The OMStar compares the parameter value configured in the external
neighboring of the source cell and the parameter value in the homing BSC to
check consistency of an external neighboring cell parameter

GSM Frequency Check Function Description
Based on configuration data and engineering parameter data the OMStar renders cells with intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells in different
colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and
BSIC as the selected cell

GSM Frequency Check Function Description
Based on configuration data and engineering parameter data the OMStar renders cells with intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells in different
colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and

GSM Indoor Distribution
Analysis If the indoor distribution system is not established properly indoor subscribers cannot receive good quality services and outdoor subscribers are also adversely
affected by the indoor distribution system The OMStar provides a simple and accurate method to forecast indoor signal leakage cells and allows users to make
adjustment so that outdoor subscribers are prevented from accessing indoor cells Therefore the indoor cell congestion and call drops of outdoor subscribers are
prevented
The GSM indoor distribution fault check of the OMStar identifies the indoor signal leakage outdoor signal intrusion weak coverage and interference from high
buildings

GSM Frequency Check Function Description
Based on configuration data and engineering parameter data the OMStar renders cells with intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells in different
colors and allows users to manually modify the frequency and export the modified content The OMStar enables users to check cells with a specific frequency
and BSIC check intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells or check intra-frequency and co-BSIC cells across the network The OMStar can display cells
with intra-frequency and co-BSIC neighboring cells on the map and render them in different colors on the engineering parameter map
Function Principle
Frequency check The OMStar searches for the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency cells of the specified frequency or cell within a certain
range or across the network based on the frequency or cell selected
by users
Intra-frequency and co-BSIC check Based on the check rule
selected by users (a specific frequency check intra-frequency and
co-BSIC neighboring cell check and intra-frequency and co-BSIC
cell check across the network) the OMStar identifies the cells with
the specified frequency and BSIC or with the same frequency and
BSIC as the selected cell

GSM Indoor Distribution
Analysis If the indoor distribution system is not established properly indoor subscribers cannot receive good quality services and outdoor subscribers are also adversely
affected by the indoor distribution system The OMStar provides a simple and accurate method to forecast indoor signal leakage cells and allows users to make
adjustment so that outdoor subscribers are prevented from accessing indoor cells Therefore the indoor cell congestion and call drops of outdoor subscribers are
prevented
The GSM indoor distribution fault check of the OMStar identifies the indoor signal leakage outdoor signal intrusion weak coverage and interference from high
buildings
