Presentation on Industrial Training at NOKIA SIEMENS NETWORKS
Company profile:
Nokia Siemens Networks was formed by the merger of telecom giants Nokia Networks and Siemens to form the world¶s w orld¶s largest telecommunication company company in April 2007. In India, with the head office at Gurgaon (haryana) Nokia handles the accounts of Bharti Airtel,Vodafone,BSNL,IDEA Airtel,Vodafone,BSNL,IDEA and other operators. The services include network netw ork planning ,maintenance ,optimization as well as providing necessary necessar y hardware equipments. It has now become the leading service provider ahead of competitors like Ericsson ,Motorola ,Nortel Networks .

Overview of the GSM Interfaces For the connection of the different diff erent nodes in the GSM network, different interfaces are defined in the GSM specifications. · Air interface The Air Interface is the interface between the BTS (Base Transceiver Station) and the MS (Mobile Station). The air interface in terface is required for supporting: - Universal Universal use of any compatible mobile mobile station station in a GSM network - A maximum maximum spectral spectral efficiency efficiency · Abis-interface The Abis-interface is the interface interfac e between the BSC (Base Station Controller) and the BTS. The interface comprises traffic and control channels. Functions implemented at the Abis-interface are: - Voice-data oice-data traffic traffic exchange exchange - Signaling exchange between between the BSC and the BTS - Transporting synchronization information from the BSC to the BTS · A-interface The A-interface is the interface interf ace between the BSC and the MSC.
Phase 2: Maharashtra circle planning for Vodafone Vodafone Nokia Net Act Planner Fundamentals of Network Planning
Nokia Net Act Planner:: Nokia Net Act is Nokiaƞs software for planning radio radio network in 2g and UMTS(3g). The snapshots to describe the basic functions of it and the use of it to plan the radio network in Maharashtra are as follows
Clutter: As the input to the Net Act we entered the the clutter values. These values provide approximated attenuation 1.business district 2.dense urban 3.dense suburban 4.mean urban 5.low urban 6.mean suburban 7.low suburban 8.forest 9.rural 10.Water

With the help of a particular kind of propagation model which takes in account the resulting attenuation, diffraction losses ,signal reflection etc we can predict the signal power level up to a certain distance.
In Nokia Net Act, for Maharashtra project we used the Standard Macrocell Macrocell model.
Antenna Eirp =56dbm Propagation Model =Standard Macro cell Antenna Type Type = GSM(900) 74232 ,74234,74122.
Depending
upon the customer requirement we cover the region according to the Best Server Power Levels as shown on the left.
Through these plots we get a fair idea of the approximate locations of the sites to be set up. This is followed by the Drive Test which gives us a better way to decide the exact positions for site to be developed. Lets say what is we predicted a site to be developed as on a position x ,but during the Drive tests it comes out that the site region belongs to a landlord who is not willing to give his land for site. Then the whole w hole process for that particular region is repeated and new locations for sites are given.
In this way overall 13,000 sites were predicted by me for Maharashtra circle.
Phase

1.Mapbasic Application Tool for f or Analysis of OMC Reports of Nokia. MapInfo is a software used for many purposes which evolve sites with available latitude and longitudes. These sites with other databases in tabul ar form can be used to graphically show them on map. To create various utilities for GSM sites I had to learn Map basic ,which is a kind of scripting language ,very much alike Visual basic and Basic Bas ic .
Need for the tool ?? The OMC Reports of Nokia such as Report 232,Report 153 Report 166 etc are generated in text format. Now for circles such as West Bengal or Maharashtra where there may no of sites as much as 30,000 to 50,000 it is not possible to detect the usual errors or performance of sites due to unread ability of text files. So we were asked to make a tool which w hich could read the format to every report and then depending upon the threshold values given by the user performance of sites can be analysed.

Report 232: In this report the cells are listed with the distance range. The share in range (%) parameter is used to study the working of a BTS. For example if a BTS power is designed up to a range of 10 kms but maximum (more than 95%) calls are made from range within 1.1 kms then it can be reduced .

Report 196: This report is to check the quality quali ty class of the signal received by MS . The calls are sampled every 480 ms for the quality class. Quality class info is used on Abis but BSC converts the quality classes into BER % figures using the default values. (Power control measurement shows BER figures). Class BER qua 0 (BER < 0.2%) qua 1 (BER (BER 0.2 0.2 - 0.4%) 0.4%) qua 2 (BER (BER 0.4 0.4 - 0.8%) 0.8%) qua 3 (BER (BER 0.8 0.8 - 1.6%) 1.6%) qua 4 (BER (BER 1.6 1.6 - 3.2%) 3.2%) qua 5 (BER (BER 3.2 3.2 - 6.4%) 6.4%) qua 6 (BER (BER 6.4 6.4 - 12.8%) 12.8%) qua 7 (BER >12.8%) The rule of thumb is that in quality qual ity classes 0-5 the MS user does not yet feel f eel that the quality is bad.
Report 208 This report counts the power loss balance between UL U L and DL for each TRX TRX of each cell of the selected area The UL Power loss is calculated as (MS power ±UL signal strength strength as measured m easured by the BTS) The DL power loss is calculated as (BTS power ±combiner loss ±DL signal strength reported by the MS.) Now the factor DL-UL power loss factor is more important as it shows error is from either side. Report format:

PROJECT FOR TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION DEPPT ::MW LINKS
Due to the immense immense usability of the Map Basic application application developed by us .The transmission department department gave us a project to develop a tool for studying the status of MW links between sites. MW links are made between various sites so as to make a communication communication between various BTS and the BSC. This was earlier earlier also done through optical optical links but every time new site is installed installed its not possible to establish links using optical optical fibers. MW links work in a band of 15 GHz G Hz frequency. Customers
(Telecom operators operators ) like Bharti ,Vodafone etc get only a small band to operate in this MW frequency range. Thus maintaining these links is an important issue. Any link having having used capacity capacity less than 30 % is considered not useful .Or the factors factors such as fade margin are also useful parameters to maintain communication between the BTS and BSC.
