NOTE |
In the current release the PM/TM feature is applicable only for modular Base Stations. It is not applicable for Micro Base Stations. |
The PM/TM feature enable managing the collection of Performance Monitoring and Traffic Monitoring data. When enabled, traffic (transferred data) information and performance (link quality indicators) statistics are collected by the device and stored in dedicated files that can be retrieved by the network management system or any other external application, using TFTP. Whenever a new file is generated, a suitable trap is sent. Analysis of the data can be used for various purposes such as calculating capacity utilization and oversubscription, radio planning and problem identification. Each file contains the accumulated traffic data and the per SU performance statistics for a 15 minutes interval. For certain radio planning purposes requiring higher resolution of performance statistics, it is possible to request that the 15 minutes file will include also per SU performance statistics for one minute intervals.
