1. Introduction TO PRS
 Overview
The PRS is a platform for monitoring and analyzing the performance data of
mobile networks, customizing reports, and displaying reports. The PRS is used
for the functions such as routine operation and maintenance of the mobile
network.



The PRS is an integrated solution for managing the performance reports of
the radio network
PRS can support the GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA network.
PRS system enables multiple users to manage the performance reports of
radio networks of multiple systems, vendors, and versions, thus providing
a basic supporting platform for the planning and operation of radio
networks.
 Functions



It enables users to aggregate and store data based on multiple dimensions.
It supports the long-duration storage and efficient query of data.
It provides various predefined reports, which are used for monitoring and
analyzing the operating status of networks.
The PRS enables users to customize KPIs and reports, generate and
distribute reports as scheduled, query reports based on multiple
dimensions such as object, time, and properties, and manage dashboards,
and thus improving the work efficiency of network optimization engineers
and operation and maintenance (OM) engineers.

Description
We can check the operation status of the network from the data
that is collected and by checking reports.
We can verify the optimization results by analyzing report data
and the change in data before and after the optimization.
We can check the optimization results of a specific KPI in real
time.
We can manage and optimize NEs and cells by regions and check
the network operation status by areas.
We can check the network operation status through the
professional reports that are integrated with Huawei's experience
on network planning and maintenance.
We can customize reports flexibly based on network features by
setting conditions such as the objects, counters, time range,
report style, graphic display, filtering conditions, and TopN
conditions.
The PRS supports various display modes provided in .xls files, thus
extending the report display modes. In addition, users can
customize reports as required.
The PRS automatically generates and sends customized reports to
specified FTP servers and email addresses, thus improving work
efficiency of network monitoring engineers.
The PRS clearly displays the changes of KPIs in real time. This
enables us to obtain the information about the network operation
in time.
The PRS queries and obtains KPI data in real time and provides
various data analysis methods, such as report drilling and
correlation. This helps to locate and solve network problems
quickly.

Centralized O & M
Integrated Solution
Powerful Routine Network Monitoring
Flexible & Convenient User applications
 Centralized O & M


The PRS analyses the performance reports of the networks of multiple
systems, vendors, and versions. The system effectively supports the
operation and maintenance of 2G and 3G hybrid networking
The PRS can be connected to the OSS EMSs of multiple vendors.
 Integrated Solution

The PRS can be used with the DAMS and Nastar, and provides end-to-end
network optimization solutions to meet various requirements. The PRS can
be used in scenarios such as routine maintenance, NE creation, system
expansion, and network optimization.
 Powerful Routine Network Monitoring



You can query the performance KPIs at time or the object dimensions,
which improves the query efficiency. The time dimensions are Raw, hour,
day, week, month, and busy-hour data. The object dimensions are TRX,
Cell, City, Cluster, Cell Group, BSC, Region and entire network.
The PRS provides internal KPI reports on key NEs and supports userdefined KPIs and reports. This helps you to focus on the key information
The system also supports the long-time data storage so that you can learn
the trend of the key data.

 Flexible and Convenient User Operations





The PRS supports flexible operations for querying and collecting KPI
statistics. You can query the KPIs at object or time dimensions.
Support the KPI analysis. You can query results of KPIs at time and object
dimensions without creating a report
Support the scheduled generation and distribution of reports. Without
starting the PRS client, you can obtain the reports from the FTP server or
the email address.
Support various report formats. A report can contain multiple pages. Each
page support different report formats and different filtering conditions,
which reduces the user operations.
The PRS adopts the common object request broker architecture (CORBA)
that provides a basic data service platform for the system. The services and
functions of the PRS are developed and deployed on the basis of modules.
In this way, the PRS can quickly respond to your OM requirements.

Customizing Required Counters
Customizing Busy Hours
Customizing KPIs
Creating Reports
Setting the Correlations Between Reports and Excel Templates
Distributing Reports Periodically
 Customizing Required Counters

By default, the PRS can obtain the data of some counters. If the related
default settings cannot meet your requirements, you can modify the
settings to obtain the data of required counters. In addition, you can
cancel the data collection of some counters to release system resources.
 Customizing Busy Hours

You can set busy hour time segments. Alternatively, you can set busy hour
operation rules so that the system can automatically search for busy hours
accordingly
 Creating Object Groups

Object groups are the basis of report management and KPI analysis. You
can group the concerned objects into a set such as a cell group, office
direction group, or RNC group. In this way, you can query the result of an
object group or the result of each object in an object group in the report
management, thus facilitating object management
 Customizing KPIs

The PRS provides a large amount of system counters and supports the
function of customizing KPIs. You can customize KPIs based on the
obtained system counters as required. In addition, you can set the display
formats and thresholds for the KPIs.
 Creating Reports
Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

Page 9
I Manager Performance Report System (PRS)

You can create custom reports according to service requirements and network features
 Setting the Correlations Between Reports and Excel Templates

You can set the correlation between a report and an .xls template, and
then export the queried report results to an .xls file. In addition, you can
use the formats, formulas, charts, and macro functions provided by Excel
to view reports
 Distributing Reports Periodically

The PRS supports the scheduled generation and distribution of reports.
Reports can be generated at a specified time and then sent to a specified

 Report Management

i.
After the element management system (EMS) collects the data of
performance counter data from NEs, the data collection module of the PRS
periodically collects the data and saves it in a file, and imports the data in
the file to the report database. In this way, the PRS enables you to learn
the current network status by querying and monitoring the counter data.
Defining Report
Initially define the Root Directory for example named as “ Asim “ and start
Simple Report.

This is one of the best features of PRS. The purpose is to generate
graphical report automatically from PRS on daily basis just by exporting.
Just we have to do is to first export any report, generate first time required
graph in excel and then after removing data, save the file.
Import in PRS by method shown below.
Then on each and every new query, you will get the table and graph
automatically.
