GPEH: The QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE for XEUS PRO 3
INTRODUCTION GPEH is a Performance Recording function which consists of two types of recording, User Equipment Traffic Recording (UETR) and Cell Traffic Recording (CTR) that supports Ericsson network. Xeus helps you to analyze calls, events, cells or phone models using GPEH data. It currently supports only Ericsson WCDMA network. Refer to Appendix 1 for Ericsson GPEH Recording Steps.
LIMITING THE GPEH DATA COLLECTION Depending on the analysis type to be performed in Xeus, user can limit the GPEH Event type to be collected in GPEH in order to reduce RNC processor load for recording. RNC has a parameter gpehDataLevel that determines the level of information to record for the external protocol such as RRC and RANAP.
The default setting of the parameter is 0 = 'HEADER_DATA_ONLY', which records only the external protocol message name and direction of the message. In order to record the encoded ASN.1 data of the external message, the OSS administrator can set the parameter to 1 = ‘ALL DATA’. This will allow detail analysis of the external protocol message. However, this is only recommended for small recording set of cells to avoid overloading the RNC processor or the GPEH data file limit. Refer to Appendix 1 for steps on how to configure the GPEH collection parameter at the RNC.
Following are the features in Xeus which requires gpehDataLevel set to 1 = ‘ALL DATA’:
• IMEI info for Phone Profiling
• Message detail for external protocol
• NAS Messages in the RRC Direct Transfer messages
• Active Set Measurement which include monitored set from RRC Measurement Report
• Call Setup Analysis drill down of Blocked Call Analysis
• Call Type categorization from the RRC Connection Request
• Call Drop categorization from RANAP IU RELEASE and RRC Connection Release messages

SUPPORTED FORMAT AND LOG FILE DATA Xeus supports GPEH/UETR/CTR log file formats such as .bin and .bin.gz. They are usually grouped in sets and each set contains a reference file. The reference file contains links to other files in the set. It is mandatory to import the reference file for the set. The reference file usually contains ‘0’ as part of its name. Refer to the picture below as a guide:
Each set of log file data should contain the messages in Table 1 above.
Rev 11
GPEH: The QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE for XEUS PRO 6
GEOANALYSIS OVERVIEW AND PREREQUISITES GeoAnalysis is a new feature on Xeus which enables you to estimate a location using non‐GPS based Network Measurement Recordings. Xeus uses GeoAnalysis to perform Geo‐locate using a combination of OTDDA multi lateration and relative signal strength. Analysis on GeoAnalysis is done through plots and reporting. Using GeoAnalysis, geo‐located events and measurements can be plotted and areas where significant pilot overlaps identified.
Before performing GeoAnalysis, ensure that you have the supported network data that meets the following prerequisites:
1. The network data imported must be either Ericsson Bulk CM or Ericsson Kget log file. The imported Network data must contain the RNC and Cell that matches with the data recorded in GPEH.
Note: For best analysis or Geo‐locate through GeoAnalysis, it is recommended for you to import the network data that takes at least an hour to parse.
2. The GPEH recording must contain RRC Measurement Report and NBAP Radio Link Setup Request messages.
3. Ensure that ‘Perform position estimation for Abnormal Released Calls/All Calls’ is enabled at ‘Import Ericsson GPEH/UETR/CTR log’ wizard.
IMPORT GPEH/UETR/CTR LOG FILES You need to ensure that you have the following data before you import GPEH/UETR/CTR data:
1. Network data (preferably Ericsson Bulk CM). 1.1. Network Data accepted for GeoAnalysis (Ericsson Bulk CM or Ericsson Kget log file only)
2. log file format 3. log file set(s) contain mandatory messages GPEH/UETR/CTR data is best analyzed when you have Ericsson Bulk CM. It will provide complete analysis for neighbor optimization. If you are performing GeoAnalysis, ensure that the network data selected is Ericsson Bulk CM or Ericsson Kget log file. You can refer to Xeus Pro Quick Guide for further information on importing network data.

Now, follow these steps to start importing Ericsson GPEH/UETR/CTR log files:
1. Go to File > Import and Export > Import Ericsson GPEH logs.
2. Select ‘Add Files’ and select the files which includes file ‘0’. If you have placed the files in a folder, just select ‘Add Folder’
3. Browse and select files.

5. At General tab, set the ‘Time Offset’ according to your time zone. 6. If you are performing GeoAnalysis, ensure that you tick on “Enable GeoAnalysis”. Note: Ensure
that the loaded network file contains RRC Measurement Report and NBAP Radio Link Setup Request messages.
7. Click the "Filter" tab to set the filter options. Select a Filter Template and click "Settings" button to set to the "Messages Filter" and the "Call End Filter". Click "OK" button to save the changes made at GPEH filter and for you to reload the same settings later.
8. Select the Settings tab to edit thresholds. 9. Click ‘Next’ and wait for the parsing to complete.
If parsing is successful, you are ready to analyze GPEH/UETR/CTR data.

GeoAnalysis GeoAnalysis is an estimation of the calls or events based on a geographical location. This feature enables users to generate various plotting scenarios based on the estimated geographical location for the GPEH calls. Users can also analyze GPEH abnormal event with the dimension of the estimated location. Xeus uses several propagation delay and mobile triangular calculation to perform location estimation.
GPEH Plotting Ensure that the Plot tab is selected.
To create plots, first select the type of plot to display. Click on the Load Plot button to load
the plot. To remove a plot, click on the Remove Plot from Map button or select another plot type and load the new plot. For details on the other tools in the toolbar, please refer to the Xeus Help file.

Neighbor Analysis You can also conduct Neighbor Analysis using GPEH data. Types of Neighbor Analysis which could be done are:
• Neighbor Optimization
• Pilot Pollution.
Neighbor Optimization Neighbor Optimization ranks the top neighbors for the cell and also suggests action to be done to the neighbor. To optimize neighbor for a cell:
1. Go to Neighbor Optimization page from Start Page at the GPEH address bar. Refer to the picture below:
2. At this page, select the Ranking method: Merit Point and set the multiplier to decide the ranking.
See the formula below on how the Merit Point is calculated:
Merit Point (MP) = [ (Attempt for Position 1)*P1 + (Attempt for Position 2)*P2 + (Attempt for Position 3)*P3 + (Attempt for Position 4)*P4] x [ (Missing Neighbor with Release)*M1 + (Missing Neighbor without action)*M2] / (Total Attempt)
