Mobile network users need to go through a series of processes at the signaling level and the business level

to access the Internet. which can be roughly divided into:

1. Signaling level:

Network attachment, which is attached to LTE network after starting;

Bearer establishment, and a default load bearing connection is established between the terminal and EPC.

TAU update, position change or periodic position update.

2. Business level:

DNS domain name resolution, to request the domain name for the target IP address resolution;

TCP handshake establishment, TCP establishment with the target IP address;

HTTP Get request, send a Get request to the target IP address server, download the page.

Traditional approach such as TOPN cell analysis, DT/CQT, user complaints and so on are limited in their

ability to identify network problems. This only represents local points and line problems in the network and do

not directly correlate with user expereince awareness.

Traditional methods lack a means of accurate demarcation

Accuracy of traditional methods to pin point the location of the network performance problem is not high so

KQI and KPI have not establish able to a correlated analysis. They lack of end -to-end insight.

Traditional methods lack a means to support complaint handling

In the face of user complaints about service awareness and network unavailability, the traditional methods of

network performance monitoring lack the ability to effectively support customer service agents in complaints

handling .The reason is that the traditional methods neither provide insight from the user persepctive nor

provide end to end insight in real time.

Traditional methods do not help optimize operational proceedures

The traditional pinpoints monitoring is not end to end. They do neither provide any closed loop monitoring of

user perception, nor do they provide predictive network problem capabilties before a user feels network

The service flow is as follows:

complaints, it has become particularly important for CSP’s to have increased network visibility and

awareness capability for their mobile data services. With the current level of extremely fierce competition,

mobile operators must quickly & continously improve their business and network quality to retain good

corporate image and reputation in order to reduce churn.

In order to comprehensively measure the level of network quality and to ensure user satisfaction, it is

necessary to take a holistic view of the network. Network monitoring systems must be able to perceive the

changes in network operation from the perspective of users, improve mobile network quality management,

collect indicators that can reflect user experience, and allow network expansion and optimization to deliver in

a target way. At present many operators are investing heavily to expand their network capacity as a way to

improve customer satisfaction.

wireless IP-RAN, core network and SP business.

Positioning: able to realize the ability to process the predetermined bit information and output the

predetermined bit information on the basis of time, segment and boundary.

Business perception details example:

Example of community problem:

An example of an end-to-end analysis process:

Indoor coverage is affected by different building types, floor height, building density, signal penetration, and

to some extent tower location. As a result, indoor coverage quality has always been an important focus of

network optimization. Based on MR wireless quality analysis and combined with DPI business perception

analysis, the MR analysis subsystem can effectively guide the optimization of wireless networks and has a

positive effect on quality of expereince indoors.

Page 18: White paper Intelligent Network Awareness System (iNAS)-尺寸 ...

A network operator was receiving complaints that network performance was below the expected quality in a

certain region and a notice of poor quality was issued to engineering to investigate. To resolve the problem

engineering need to efficently locate the cause of poor quality in the district investigating which ENodeBID:

30xxxx, cellID: xx, etc that is causing the problem. Using the mobile Internet business perception analysis

system, engineering was quickly able to idenitfy and confirm that the perception of experience by the users

was in fact very poor. They were able to determine the network was only performing at 63.2% of expected

performance and the preliminary analysis also showed video quality was especically poor.

The cell was further analyzed and investigated. Through systematic analysis, it was found that the terminal,

wireless side signal strength showed good signal quality, IPRAN and core network were all excellent, which

was not the reason for the poor quality of the cell, but the business side showed poor.

Through systematic analysis and judgment using the service analyis system, network indicators confirmed

that users experience was being impacted and that overall perception of quality for the affected cell was in

fact poor. The details of the overloaded business support systems was sent to the relevant departments and

the problem was quickly solved restoring network performance back to the expected level.

In this white paper, we analyse the broadband and mobile data market requirement and the importance of

network visibility for impoving customer experience as well as introduce GreeNet’s iNAS solution, it’s

technical implementation, product architecture, major functions, and application scenarios.

After further analysis, it is found that in the business systems supporting this cell, are overloaded wth high

flow rate causing poor network quality.

Poor quality service download rate is lower, caton good rate is higher.4.8.2 NETWORK PERFORMING BELOW EXPECTED QUALITY

perception analysis system platform, the customer service centre was able to determine that due to the weak

wireless signal at the user's position when using the network, the user’s quality of experience was affected.

The customer service centre was able to provide the user with an explanation of the poor network

performance and also send the fault details to engineering team for investigation and resolution.
