Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 Overview of SCR

2 Overview of SCR
Sleeping cells are radio cells which do not accept new connections from mobile devices and do not
carry traffic, due to software defects. Until a software update is applied to address the software de-
fects, the temporary remedy is to reset the sleeping cells. The EdenNet Sleeping Cells Resolution
(SCR) module identifies the sleeping cells in a cellular network and performs cell reset automatically.

Table 2: SCR supported vendors and technologies lists the supported vendors and technologies for
the SCR module.

Vendor Technology

Nokia WCDMA, LTE

The RAN types are Flexi and SRAN.

Ericsson WCDMA, LTE

The RAN types are RNC and RBS (for WCDMA).

The RAN type is ERBS (for LTE).

Table 2: SCR supported vendors and technologies

2.1 SCR dependencies and interactions

The SCR module is dependent on a few criteria and interacts with the other EdenNet modules. For
more information, see:

• Dependencies
• Interactions

2.1.1 Dependencies

• The SCR module requires the configuration of the reset cell or site, and toggling of the cell lock.
• The SCR module requires a 15 minute measurement period for the KPIs.

2.1.2 Interactions

The SCR module can impact the traffic at the BTS and influence the KPIs of the other modules, if any
KPIs are executed during the same time frame.

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 SCR functional description and guidelines

3 SCR functional description and guidelines

The SCR module supports LTE and UMTS technologies. Regardless of the cell type (macro cells or
small cells), the SCR module can detect the sleeping cells in the network. Once a cell is detected
as sleeping, the SCR module sends an e-mail notification to the RF engineers to automatically reset
the sleeping cell and resolve the issue. If the cell does not recover even after reset, the SCR module
sends an e-mail notification to the RF engineer to investigate the issue.

The SCR module supports a maintenance window during which no cells are reset. Also, it can distin-
guish off-air cells from sleeping cells so that no locked cells, reserved cells, or barred cells are reset.

The SCR module does not repeatedly reset chronic sleeping cells. For example, a cell should not be
reset more than once in a week, even if it is sleeping after several resets.

The SCR module checks if the MORAN feature (RAN sharing) is enabled for cells at a site. If RAN
sharing is enabled, the SCR module skips the site reset for those cells.

3.1 Operational modes of SCR

The SCR module supports the following modes of operation:

• Open loop mode

• Closed loop mode

3.1.1 Open loop mode

In the open loop mode, the SCR module performs the following tasks:

• Monitors the selected cells and evaluates them against the sleeping cell conditions
• Generates a report containing the details of the sleeping cells and sends e-mail notifications
• Executes in a continuous loop every 15 minutes

3.1.2 Closed loop mode

In the closed loop mode, the SCR module performs the following tasks:

• Executes healing actions on the cell or site

• Sends e-mail notifications
• Prepares a report containing the details of the actions performed on the sleeping cells

Note: The SCR module does not propose site-reset if unsupported vendors (like Huawei,
ZTE and fALU) are part of the same site. In addition, the SCR module logs the names of the
unsupported vendors.

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 SCR algorithm

4 SCR algorithm

The main goal of the SCR algorithm is to identify sleeping cells by correlating different KPIs or compar-
ing KPIs with historical statistics.

For every KPI event, the SCR module selects the target cells and obtains the KPI definitions and time
window. If the cells are not in the maintenance window (Maintenance_Window Start_Time and
Maintenance_Window End_Time), it retrieves the KPI data for all the selected cells. Then the SCR
module runs the detection logic (3G Detection Criteria, LTE Detection Criteria, and
Enable Additional Criteria) on the selected cells based on the selected algorithm. If any
potential sleeping cells are found (Number of consecutive detections), it filters out the cells
that are locked or disabled. If no sleeping cells are left after filtering locked and disabled cells, further
execution (resolution logic) of the SCR module stops. If other sleeping cells remain after eliminating
the locked cells, the SCR module runs the resolution logic on them if they meet the following criteria:

• The sleeping cell has not exceeded the Reset_Count_Threshold.

• The SCR module completes the execution within the limits mentioned in the
Reset_Window_Start_Time and Reset_Window_Stop_Time parameters.
• The sleeping cell was not reset within the number of days specified in the Number_of_days_
between_resets parameter.

Once the reset is performed, the SCR module clears the sleeping condition flag from all the non-
sleeping cells, sets the Number of consecutive detections to 0 for all the non-sleeping cells,
and removes them from the reset and alert lists. If a cell does not recover after reset, the SCR module
sends e-mail notifications to the e-mail addresses stored in the Alert recipients parameter.

4.1 SCR logic

Detection logic is built on several conditions. A cell is considered to be sleeping when conditions are
evaluated to be true for a number of consecutive ROPs (Report Output Periods). You can configure
the sleeping cell conditions either through the EdenNet GUI (before launching the SCR module) or
through Module Configuration. For more information, see Configuring a module in the EdenNet User
and Administration Guide document. If you do not configure the sleeping cell conditions, the SCR
module uses the default conditions.

4.1.1 Configuration of SCR detection logic

You can override the default sleeping cell detection logic of the SCR module by importing module con-
figuration files that contain detection logic. When the SCR module detects custom detection logic, it
uses the custom detection logic instead of the default logic. For more information on the sleeping cell
detection logic, see WCDMA default detection logic and LTE default detection logic. You can import
only one detection logic for each of the supported technologies.

EdenNet 21 © 2021 Nokia 12

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 SCR algorithm

Each element of the detection logic requires one of the following comparators:

<, >, =, !=, >=, <=, ==

The KPIs with the arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) between them have to be on the left side. The number
has to be on the right side of the comparator:

{PS_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 125.00 AND {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC} <= 3.00; {VOICE_

RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 13.00 AND {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC} <= 3.00;

The AND operator allows combining of the detection logic that must be fulfilled before a cell is
considered to be sleeping. The semicolon ( ; ) serves the purpose of an OR operator, allowing the
combining of detection logic so that when any one detection logic is fulfilled, the cell is considered
to be sleeping. The AND operator takes precedence over the semicolon. The example above can be
interpreted as:

Condition 1: {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 125.00 AND {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC} <= 3.00

Condition 2: {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 13.00 AND {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC} <= 3.00

Either condition 1 or condition 2 must be fulfilled before a cell is considered to be sleeping.

Note:

• A KPI name can consist of any characters except symbols like:

– curly braces { }
– colon :
– equals =
• Each KPI name in the condition needs to be enclosed within curly braces.

For example: {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ}

4.1.1.1 WCDMA default detection logic

Voice:

• {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 13.00 AND {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC} <= 3.00

• {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 13.00 AND {VOICE_TRAFFIC} = 0.00
• {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC} = 0.00 AND {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC_AVG} > 13.00
AND {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ} != 0.00

Data:

• {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 125.00 AND {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ_SUC} <= 3.00

• {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 125.00 AND {DL_R99_DATA_TRAFFIC_MB} <= .10 AND
{HSDPA_TRAFFIC_VOL_MB} <= .10
• {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ} < 125.00 AND {DL_R99_DATA_TRAFFIC_MB} = 0.00 AND
{HSDPA_TRAFFIC_VOL_MB} = 0.00 AND {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ} >= 3.00

Additional Criteria:

EdenNet 21 © 2021 Nokia 13

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 SCR algorithm

• {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ} = 0
• {VOICE_RRC_CONN_REQ_AVG} >=13
• {VOICE_TRAFFIC_AVG} > 0

OR

• {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ} = 0
• {PS_RRC_CONN_REQ_AVG} >= 20
• {HSDPA_TRAFFIC_VOL_MB_AVG} > 0

4.1.1.2 LTE default detection logic

LTE detection logic is built on several conditions. A cell is considered to be sleeping when any of the
following conditions is evaluated to be true for a number of consecutive ROPs (Report Output Periods)
of 15 minute intervals. The number of consecutive ROPs is configurable as a user input parameter to
the module.

({LTE_Cell_Availability} >= 75) and ( ( {LTE_RACH_Attempts} > 50 and

{LTE_RACH_Setup_Completes_Rate} <= 0.01 )

({LTE_RRC_Setup_Attempts} > 50) and ({LTE_RRC_Setup_Completes_Rate} <= 0.5)

({LTE_RRC_Setup_Completes} > 50 and {LTE_Traffic_Vol} < 10

({LTE_RRC_Setup_Attempts} == 0 and {Average_of_previous_14_days}

({LTE_RRC_Setup_Attempts}) > 13)

Note: This is default detection logic which can be overwritten by importing custom detection
logic through Module Configuration.

4.1.2 SCR resolution logic

This section describes the cell reset and site reset scenarios for the following vendors:

• Nokia (cell reset)

• Nokia (site reset)
• Ericsson (cell reset)
• Ericsson (site reset)
• Technology specific site reset

4.1.2.1 Nokia (cell reset)

This section describes the cell reset process for Single Radio Access Network (SRAN) and non SRAN
cells.

Non SRAN cells

EdenNet 21 © 2021 Nokia 14

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 SCR algorithm

For 4G cells, the SCR module generates a plan to change the cellResetRequest (LNCEL)
parameter with the value of the current timestamp for each cell that was detected as sleeping.

The plan is downloaded with the current timestamp to indicate the reset request. A new request re-
ceives a new timestamp and therefore causes a parameter change. The cell reset is executed auto-
matically because the parameter change requires cell lock or unlock.

For 3G cells, the SCR module triggers a command to the NE. The resetCell.sh tool is used for the
cell reset:

"resetCell.sh -ne {} -cellid {} -pw {}"

where:

• ne is the IP address of the BTS

• pw is the password of the BTS

SRAN cells

For SRAN 4G cells, the SCR module generates a plan to change the cellResetRequest (LNCEL)
parameter with the value of the current timestamp for each cell that was detected as sleeping.

The plan is downloaded with the current timestamp to indicate the reset request. A new request re-
ceives a new timestamp and therefore causes a parameter change. Cell reset is executed automati-
cally since parameter change requires cell lock or unlock.

For SRAN 3G cells, the SCR module toggles the AdminCellState parameter by generating two
plans for each cell that was detected as sleeping:

• The first plan changes the value of the AdminCellState parameter to LOCKED.
• The second plan changes the value of the AdminCellState parameter to UNLOCKED.

4.1.2.2 Nokia (site reset)

This section describes the site reset process for SRAN and non SRAN sites.

Non SRAN sites

For 4G cells, the SCR module generates a plan to change the btsResetRequest (LNBTS)
parameter with the value of the current timestamp. Whenever a plan that modifies or sets this
parameter is downloaded, the BTS resets automatically.

For 3G cells, the SCR module triggers a command to the NE. The reset.sh tool is used for site
reset:

"reset.sh -ne {} -username {} -password {}"

where:

• ne is the IP address of the BTS

• username is the username of the BTS
• password is the password of the BTS

SRAN sites

EdenNet 21 © 2021 Nokia 15

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 SCR algorithm

For 4G cells, it generates a plan to change the btsResetRequest with the value of the current
timestamp. Whenever a plan modifying or setting this parameter is downloaded, the BTS resets
automatically.

For SRAN 3G cells, the reset is done by creating a SWRESETERQ managed object with the
swResetLevel option set as wcdmaReset. After the SWRESETREQ is created, the respective BTS
is reset and SWRESETRES is created automatically:

• If the reset request fails, (the BTS does not reset), the object is created immediately with the
SWRESETRES::status attribute set to failure.
• If the reset request succeeds (BTS resets), the object is created after BTS reset under the request
object that triggered the reset. In this case, the SWRESETRES::status attribute is set to success.

Note:

• SWRESETERQ belongs to the CMD managed object. If the CMD managed object does
not exist, a separate plan is generated to create it. The SWRESETREQ managed object
plan is implemented only after the CMD managed object is created.
• If the CMD managed object creation fails, the SCR module considers the corresponding
3G site reset as a failure.
• For non SRAN WCDMA cells, the SCR module uses a script, and feedback logs are not
provided in the Provisioning logs tab.
• For plan based resolution, provisioning logs are available in the Provisioning logs tab.

SWRESETERQ cleanup

A maximum of 255 SWRESETREQs can be created under an MRBTS. The SCR module
cleans up the created SWRESETREQs during the instance maintenance window. The SCR
module generates a plan with SWRESETREQ deletion and the same is provisioned during
the instance maintenance window.

Note: The SCR module does not detect and reset the sleeping cells during the in-
stance maintenance window.

If the module iteration is stopped manually, the SCR module deletes the SWRESETREQ
managed objects.

4.1.2.3 Ericsson (cell reset)

For WCDMA and LTE cells, the SCR module toggles the administrativeState parameter by
generating two plans for each cell that was detected as sleeping:

• The first plan changes the value of the administrativeState parameter to LOCKED.

4.1.2.4 Ericsson (site reset)

For WCDMA and LTE cells, site reset is done by entering the following AMOS command:

facc 0 manualrestart 0:i 1:i SON:s

4.1.2.5 Technology specific site reset

Site reset is done if the cells are sleeping even after a reset in the previous iteration. During the site re-
set, the SCR module checks the following:

• Are all the WCDMA and LTE cells detected as sleeping?

• Is a GSM cell present in the same site?
• Has the site recently been reset?
• Does the site have any unsupported vendors? (For example: Huawei, ZTE)

The SCR module does not trigger a site reset if any of the above mentioned checks fails.

The technology specific reset allows the site reset to happen even if the other technology cells are not
sleeping or if GSM cells are present in the site.

The technology specific reset is not enabled by default. To enable it, set the
Technology_Specific_Site_Reset_even_if_GSM_is_present parameter to True.

The SCR module triggers the technology specific site reset, if all the cells belonging to that technology
are detected as sleeping (even if GSM cells are present in the same site).

Note: In case of updates, Nokia recommends that you run the SCR module again for the
Nokia vendor if the technology specific reset needs to be enabled for the scheduled in-
stances.

4.2 Cross OSS

The SCR module supports the detection and resolution (reset) of sleeping cells across OSS bound-
aries. When LTE cells or WCDMA cells belong to multiple OSSs in the target, separate plans are gen-
erated and sent to each OSS. The vendors supported are Nokia and Ericsson.

4.2.1 Cross OSS support for sleeping cell detection and resolution (with NAdC)

To configure a cross OSS instance:

• Select LTE or WCDMA cells that stretch over the OSS boundary.
• Send the generated plan with cell reset (plan based) to NAdC. NAdC splits the plan per OSS and
sends them to the respective OSS for provisioning.
• The command based reset (scripts in the case of Nokia and AMOS commands in the case of
Ericsson) is triggered directly (not via NAdC).

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 SCR algorithm

4.2.2 Cross OSS support for sleeping cell detection and resolution (without NAdC)

The SCR module supports cross OSS functionality only with NAdC integration.

Note: In the case of cross OSS functionality without NAdC integration, the SCR module de-
tects and resets the sleeping cells if the cells belong to a single region.

5 Configuring and executing SCR

Access the SCR module from the EdenNet application and set up the module configuration parameters. The SCR module uses
the configuration information to identify the sleeping cells in the network.

To configure and execute the SCR module for WCDMA and LTE cells, do the following procedures in a
sequential order:

1. Accessing SCR.
2. Configuring targets for SCR.
3. Configuring parameters for SCR.
4. Selecting the configuration file for SCR.
5. Selecting execution type for SCR.
6. Confirming execution for SCR.

5.1 SCR prerequisites

To configure and execute the SCR module, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• The SCR license must be installed. For more information, see License details.
• The CM data and PM data must be available.
• The Average KPIs must be available.
• Default conditions for the module require 15 minute measurements.
• Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox must be installed in your system.

Table 5: Methods of aggregating data

The Average_of_previous_14_days function is represented in the condition definition by the

_AVG suffix in the name of the KPI. For example, LTE_RRC_Setup_Attempts_AVG.

The function loads the last 14 days of data (14*24=336 samples of hourly data) and evaluates the av-
erage for every hour. Since the result is hourly data, it should be divided into four to obtain the quarter-
ly equivalent. The quarterly data can be evaluated against all the other operators and conditions.

Table 6: Example of Average_of_previous_14_days function estimation

The Average_of_previous_4_weeks_same_day_same_hour function is represented

in the condition definition by the _4wsdhAVG suffix in the name of the KPI. For example,
LTE_RRC_Setup_Attempts_4wsdhAVG.

This function loads the data of the last four weeks for the same week day and evaluates the average
for every hour (four samples in total). Since the result is hourly data, it should be divided into four to
obtain the quarterly equivalent. The quarterly data can be evaluated against all the other operators
and conditions.

• Based on the number of

plan module pushes, the
wait time adds up to the
module execution time.

For example:

– In case of Ericsson
cell reset, the SCR
module pushes two
plans, so it adds
two wait times to the
module execution
time.
– In case of Nokia LTE
cell reset, the SCR
module pushes on-
ly one plan so it adds
only one wait time to
the module execution
time.

Reset_interval_ Indicates the mode for the reset interval. Daily, N/A Daily

interval is in hours.

Number_of_ Indicates the number of hours between Any positive 1 168

hours_between_ two consecutive resets. This parameter integer
resets prevents chronic sleeping cells from be-

Expected outcome

The SCR module is accessed and the event log of the SCR module appears.

8.1 SCR events

In addition to the reports, the SCR modules also generate module specific events. Details of the level,
name, and category of all SCR events are listed in Table 16: SCR events.

Category: SleepingCellResolution

Name Level Description

Missing Data The event is generated in case module is not able to

get data from previous rounds.

Invalid Target The event is generated if the cell is considered sleep-

ing and the cell is in one of bellow states:

• excluded from SON

• excluded from the module
• locked
• disabled
• barred
• reserved
• energy saving

Insufficient KPI The event is generated in case module is not able to

get KPI data from the database.

Sleeping Cell Detected warning The event is generated in case sleeping cell is detect-
ed by the SCR module.

Resetting cells warning The event is generated when the SCR module resets
cells.

Target was reset The event is generated after the SCR module finishes
resetting the cell.

Cell is still sleeping after critical The event is generated in case reset did not improve
reset KPIs and cell is still considered as sleeping.

Resetting sites warning The event is generated when the SCR module resets
sites. It happens in case all cells served by the site are
sleeping and are already reset.

Name Level Description

Target was reset The event is generated after the SCR module finishes
resetting the site.

Successfully Pushed to The event is generated if push with reset is successful.

EMS

Failed EMS Push The event is generated in case push with reset is un-
successful.

reset The event is generated at the end of the SCR module

run for all cells that required the reset.

Sleeping Cells Resolution Guide DN09237869 1-0 Appendix A: Creating a condition file for
UMTS or LTE

10 Appendix A: Creating a condition file for UMTS or

LTE
A UMTS condition file is an optional configuration file for the custom condition, based on which the UMTS cell is marked as
sleeping. An LTE condition file is an optional configuration file for the custom condition, based on which an LTE cell is marked as
sleeping.

1. Create a blank file with the following syntax:

<file_name>.ini or <file_name>.txt

Only INI and TXT file extensions are allowed.

2. In the new file, add the detection logic.

For the grammar rules of detection logic using Extended Backus-Naur Form notation, see
Appendix B: EBNF notation of detection logic.

For example:

1. Create a file named LTE_Detection_Logic.txt

2. Add detection logic:
{LTE_Cell_Availability} >= 80 AND {LTE_RRC_Setup_Attempts} > 45;

{LTE_Traffic_Vol} < 10;

Expected outcome

A condition file with the specified conditions is created for either UMTS or LTE.

logic

11 Appendix B: EBNF notation of detection logic

Extended Backus-Naur Form notation of detection logic is used while python references use modified
BNF notation. The grammar rules are:

detection conditions = condition , { condition } ;

condition = statement , { join , statement } , termination ;
join = " AND " | " and " | " & " ;
statement = KPI equation, comparator, value ;
termination = " ;" , ? new line sign LF or CR+LR or CR ? ;
KPI equation = KPI , { formula operator , KPI} ;
comparator = " <= " | " >= " | " != " | " == " | " < " | " > " | " = " ;
value = [-] , ? any valid python float representation ? ;
KPI = ? any KPI matching python identifier definition ? ;
formula operator = ' + ' | ' - ' | ' * ' | ' / ' | ' ( ' | ' ) ' ;
