The document describes the capabilities of Huawei's DTA Rule Library for analyzing 5G network issues from diagnostic test (DT) data. It includes modules for:
1. Analyzing 5G access, handover, and service retention issues to improve camping ratios.
2. Locating diagnostic exceptions based on event and call drop data to identify problems and provide optimization suggestions.
3. Analyzing neighboring cell and coverage issues to resolve handover and quality problems.
4. Identifying low throughput road sections, analyzing causes, and providing solutions to improve downlink throughput.

analysis
Analyzes the causes of 5G problems in NSA scenarios (ratio of NR SCG link seizure duration to total test
duration); analyzes 5G access, 4G/5G handover, and 5G service retention layer by layer; provides analysis
results to improve the 5G camping ratio. When the B1 event is reported but no SCG is added, the SCG is
deleted during the LTE handover, and the A3 event is reported but no handover occurs in the NR scenario,
provides specific optimization suggestions, such as those on incorrectly configured neighboring cells, X2 links,
PCIs, and anchoring parameters.
NSA
Event analysis
Locates DT exceptions based on the DT rule library and access, handover, and call drop events, generates
locating results, and improves KPIs. Based on abnormality rules, provides specific optimization suggestions for
neighboring cell and X2 optimization, and provides auxiliary optimization suggestions for poor quality and
interference over air interfaces.
NSASA
SA neighboring
cell optimization
Analyzes the following problems in SA scenarios: 5G-5G neighboring cell handover, 5G-4G neighboring cell
handover, PCI confusion, and PCI confusion after neighboring cells are added.
SA
Coverage
analysis
Analyzes problems, such as weak coverage and poor quality, during cluster optimization. It is a basic analysis
module for cluster optimization to handle coverage problems based on alarms, configuration, and planning and
construction information. In addition, the module can use the capabilities, such as ACP, to provide optimization
suggestions, for example, RF adjustment.
NSASA
Low throughput
analysis
This module can automatically identify the road sections with a low downlink throughput on the test route,
locate problems based on the DT rule library, and generate the locating result. This helps engineers formulate
the DT downlink throughput optimization solution and improve the 5G DT throughput. Auxiliary optimization
suggestions are provided based on the five factors that affect the throughput. Specific suggestions are
provided for low throughput problems caused by handovers.
NSASA
SA voice
analysis
For the voice solution in the SA EPS FB scenario, provides the following functions: EPS FB delay analysis,
event determination, and FR delay analysis.
SA
MOCN scenario
analysis
Supports PLMN exception check and analysis for DT data in MOCN and MORAN scenarios. NSASA
NR DT assisted analysis and optimization consists of the seven analysis modules listed in the following table. You can select analysis modules
based on scenarios.

Problem road
sections
Downlink interference caused by the
same PCI mod 3 leads to anchor
reestablishment.
Improper MIMO beams cause cell
overlap interference.
Determining the problem causes based on problem locating rules
๏ Re-establishment: The PCI mod 3 values of the anchor cells are the same, or the
neighboring cell of the anchor cell is missing, resulting in handover failures and re-
establishment.
๏ Frequent handover: Overshoot coverage of anchor cells due to improper downtilts, and
overshoot coverage of NR cells due to improper MIMO beam configurations occur.
๏ Low rank: Multiple paths cannot be formed due to incorrect rank parameter
configurations or open areas.
๏ Low-throughput road sections: Parameter configurations are incorrect, or configurations
of fixed rank parameters are improper.
