Customizing KPIs
The PRS allows users to define counter formulas by performing combined operations on
original KPIs, system KPIs, and predefined KPIs. The operations include addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. Users can also define conditional counters such
as worst cell ratio and busiest cell ratio by using counter formulas containing if, min,
max, count, avg, and sum conditions.
Customizing busy-hour rules
The PRS allows users to customize busy-hour rules and identify busy hours based on
specific scenarios.
Customizing reports
The PRS allows users to customize reports such as simple reports, comparison reports,
combined reports, and database-based query reports. Users can also modify, delete, move,
import, and export these custom reports as required.
Customizing report formats
By correlating reports with Excel templates, the PRS allows users to export report query
results using the predefined Excel templates. Users can also edit reports by using various
Excel functions, such as fonts, panes, formulas, charts, and macros.
Generating and delivering reports on schedule
The PRS automatically generates reports based on the preset time and period. The
reports generated on schedule are delivered to a specified email box or FTP server. In
this way, users can obtain the reports by receiving emails or viewing files on the FTP
server.
2 Architecture
The PRS consists of the PRS server, PRS clients, and networking devices. The PRS software
consists of the PRS server software and PRS client software. The server software runs on the
PRS server, and the client software runs on a PRS client.

If a service visibility PRS is deployed, only an ATAE board can serve as the PRS server, and
the number of ATAE boards varies based on network scales. For details about the relationship
between the number of ATAE boards and network scales, see Error! Reference source not

Component Description
M2000 The M2000 is a centralized element management system (EMS)
of mobile networks. It manages NEs in a centralized manner.
It collect the performance data from devices on GSM BSS,
UMTS RAN, LTE RAN, CDMA BSS, WiMAX RAN,
TD-SCDMA RAN, SingleRAN, and core networks, and
report to the PRS server through the FTP interface.
It collect the BWM rule data and sampling rate information
on the GGSN/PGWand report to the PRS server through
the FTP interface.
PSSAU It collects and preprocesses the user plane logs generated by the
GGSN/PGW, the signaling plane logs generated by the
SGSN/MME, and the user subscription logs generated by the
PCRF to meet the PRS analysis requirements.
Component Description
PRS server According to the different usage scenarios, PRS server can be
divided into the following two categories:
Statistics Performance Visibility server : The PRS server
analyzes the performance and configuration data collected
from the M2000 and generates analysis results.
Service Visibility server : The PRS server obtains and
analyzes the service data of MBB networks from the
PSSAU and then generates analysis results.
PRS client The PRS client software provides graphical user interfaces
(GUIs) to display the analysis results intuitively. You can log in
to the PRS server from either the Java-based PRS client or
Web-based PRS client and perform the corresponding
operations after successfully login.
The PRS provides the visualization of network performance and service usage, which
facilitate network operation and maintenance.
− Different OTT services generate different network signaling loads. This feature helps
telecom operators learn about signaling usage characteristics of various OTT
applications. Then, telecom operators can perform network planning and
optimization based on network service situations to improve network resouce usage.
Roaming Traffic Statistics
− This feature collects statistics on the traffic distribution of subscribers roaming
outside a PLMN in each PLMN, the distribution of subscribers roaming to a PLMN,
and the specific service traffic.
− This feature helps telecom operators collect statistics on the traffic generated for
roaming subscribers so that they can design appropriate roaming service packages.
Smartphone Abnormal Event Statistics
− Signaling behaviors of smartphones vary according to the function implementation
mechanisms of smartphone models. Therefore, the signaling loads caused by
smartphones on the network also vary according to smartphone models. The PRS can
identify smartphone models that have frequent signaling interaction (such as Service
Request and Paging), helping telecom operators accurately evaluate the impact on
network signaling load based on the market share of these terminal models. Then,
telecom operators can take corresponding measures to prevent signaling storms.
Smartphone Browser Traffic Statistics
− Based on the statistics on the traffic of smartphone browsers, telecom operators can
identify mainstream browsers used by subscribers, and consider implementing deep
cooperation with mainstream browser vendors to benefit from service providers (SPs)
by providing differentiated services or jointly deploying a network.
Website and Subscriber Associated Statistics
− This feature enables the PRS to collect statistics on TopN subscribers for TopN
websites by traffic, helping telecom operators establish accurate marketing strategies.
The PRS can also identify TopN websites for specified subscribers, helping telecom
operators maintain and optimize the related network resources accurately.

If the PRS is deployed in the ATAE subrack, the number of boards to be configured varies
based on the network scale. For details about the relationship between the number of boards
and the network scales, see Table 6-1 "Management capability of the statistics performance
visibility PRS" and Error! Reference source not found. "Error! Reference source not
found.". Each board is configured in the same way. For details, see Table 4-3. The S3900 disk

User Security
The PRS helps telecom operators implement security control and management by centrally
managing and authenticating PRS users and user rights.
Centralized management and authentication are implemented by the single sign-on (SSO)
function. On an OSS where the PRS and the M2000 are deployed, the M2000 server is
configured as the SSO server and the SSO client software is installed on each OSS client. By
doing this, users can visit all authorized OSSs at the same time and switch between them after
entering the correct user name and password for authentication and logging in to the SSO
server.
Data Security
Data backup and restore prevents data loss caused by system errors, and therefore is an
important means of ensuring secure system operation. When system errors occur, users can
restore the system to the latest backup status using the backup data.
Users can set backup policies as required and back up applications and real-time data
periodically through system backup tasks. If applications and real-time data are damaged or
missing, users can restore the data by using the corresponding backup package. Users can also
restore the data of the entire operating system by using the professional backup and restore
tool provided by the PRS.
On a network where the PRS and the M2000 are deployed, if the Veritas NetBackup (NBU)
suite is installed on the M2000, the PRS serves as a Veritas NBU client. This Veritas-based
solution allows users to back up and restore important data of the PRS system.
Network Security
The PRS provides the OSS antivirus solution to protect OSSs from the attacks of viruses,
worms, and spyware and ensure the security of network OM data. In this solution, OfficeScan
is deployed to provide antivirus protection for the PRS clients and Citrix clients and servers
running Windows. ServerProtect for Linux 3.0 and Control Manager are deployed to provide
antivirus protection for the PRS servers running SUSE Linux operating systems.
6 Technical Specifications
Physical NEs are converted into equivalent NEs based on specified conversion factors. For details
about the conversion relationship between physical NEs and equivalent NEs, see section "Methods
of Converting Physical NEs into Equivalent NEs" in the iManager PRS V100R009 Configuration
Principles. If any algorithm for calculating equivalent NEs is not included in the document,
contact Huawei technical support.
If a PRS is used for both statistics performance visibility and service visibility, the standby PRS
service board and standby database board can be shared.
If a PRS is used for service visibility, the management capability of a PRS server is determined by
the number of simultaneous attached users (SAUs). Therefore, the PRS server is configured based
on the scales of SAUs, including 1 million SAUs, 2.5 million SAUs, and 5 million SAUs. The
management capability of a PSSAU is determined by traffic. Therefore, the PSSAU is configured
based on the amount of traffic, including 10 Gbit/s, 25 Gbit/s, and 50 Gbit/s.
