1.1 SmartAnalytics Scene User Interface at a Glance

This section helps you familiarizing with SmartAnalytics Scene graphical user interface
(GUI) before you delve deeper into the application.
The following figure shows the application in full screen mode:

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 11

R&S SwissQual AG® Introduction
SmartAnalytics Scene User Interface at a Glance

Figure 1-1: SmartAnalytics Scene GUI overview

1 = Dashboard. It is a predefined workspace answering general questions about the data in the currently
selected database, such as: “Where and when did we collect data?”, “How much data did we collect?”,
“What type of data did we collect?” or “How good is the overall performance of the networks?"
2 = Scenarios. They act as folders into which you group the workspaces.
3 = Workspaces. Open a workspace to visualize the content of a database. Workspaces adjust dynamically
to the selected database. The content and the layout of a workspace does not change when you select
another database; the content only is updated.
4 = Tabs. A workspace contains at least one tab. Tabs contain many different visualizations for your data.
5 = Visualizations. Most of them are generic and operate with different types of data that you can define.
6 = Filter bar. Next to the name of the workspace, SmartAnalytics Scene displays the filter chips represent-
ing the current and globally applied filters. Whenever you add or remove the filters, SmartAnalytics
Scene updates the chips accordingly.
7 = Active database status indicator. This element is always present and displayed on the title bar, inde-
pendently of the application's page you currently display. It allows you to see which database you are
connected to as well as the status of said database. Clicking on this element will take you directly to the
database management page.
8 = Workspace's actions. Actions that apply to the whole workspace's content, such as: "Secondary Win-
dow" – opens the workspace in a second, connected browser window; "Share Link" – create a link to
share the current data analysis; "Session Overview" – toggle the session overview. "Filter" – add cus-
tom data filters. "Export to PDF" – export the current workspace tab into a PDF file.
9 = Tab actions. Actions that apply to the tab, e.g., for adding visualizations. The available options mainly
depend on your rights to modify the corresponding workspace.
10 = Database. Under this menu, you manage the content and configuration of databases, e.g., by importing
files, checking the status of the data processing activities, adjusting the settings for the Network Perfor-
mance Score NPS, enabling Machine Learning or defining the thresholds below/above which SmartA-
nalytics Scene reports problems for the data.
11 = Settings. Under this menu, you find the options for managing the database, e.g., checking their status
or editing the ownership. You can also define color profiles.
12 = Session Overview. This visualization is well known from NQDI and displays the sessions for a given
point in time. It offers the technology context of a test at a glance. By clicking on the device item, you
can toggle the selected UE for visualizations that can only show data from a single UE at a time (read

more on Device Selection later). When looking at statistical dashboards, the session overview is best
toggled off to save space.

For your convenience, you can find the application overview screen at a better visible
scale below.

Statistical and Time-Based Data

2 Mastering the Data

SmartAnalytics Scene is a data analytics tool where the most important topic is the
data itself. This section aims at explaining how the data correlates and how you can
use it meaningfully, through a series of concrete examples from different domains of
our data structure.

Important
Statistics are a complex field and SmartAnalytics Scene enables you to create count-
less displays of the collected data. This flexibility of the data structure may lead to
questionable graphs unless you really understand what you are looking at.

● Statistical and Time-Based Data.............................................................................15

● Value Tree...............................................................................................................16
● Statistics Examples................................................................................................. 18
● OLAP Cubes........................................................................................................... 20

2.1 Statistical and Time-Based Data

SmartAnalytics Scene handles two distinctive groups of values:
● Statistical Values. Sums, averages, percentiles or counts, serving the analysis of
quantities and proportions.
Examples:
– The count of tests performed in a campaign
– The average RSRP of a cell
– The duration the UE spends in a specific technology
● Time-Based Values. Individual tests' results, single RSRP values, specific layer 3
messages for a given point in time, serving the analysis of incidents/anomalies in
detail.
Examples:
– The coverage situation (RSRP, RSCP RxLev) when a call drops
– The listening quality MOS reported at the end of a speech sample
– The technology reported when a data test starts
The usual workflow in data analytics is to first consult the statistical charts to spot pat-
terns (in the data) that are of great interest or need further clarification. Then, and for
explaining the statistical result, it can be necessary to analyze individual data points.

Value Tree

Figure 2-1: Technology statistics (left) and technology-related readings for a point in time (right)

2.2 Value Tree

The following example has been created by picking the data to be displayed from a
value tree where:
● Values that we can quantify such as durations come with a green "M" icon next to
their name, "M" standing for measure.
● Values that we can use to split and categorize the selected measures come with an
orange "D" standing for dimension.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 16

R&S SwissQual AG® Mastering the Data
Value Tree

Figure 2-2: The measure Count of Tests in relation to the dimensions Service and Test Status

Important
Given the many different values in the value tree, there are countless potential combi-
nations of statistics. Even for databases storing hundreds of thousands of tests, the
chart above updates instantly as these combinations of values are precalculated during
data processing, in so-called OLAP cubes. For more details about OLAP cubes, refer
to Chapter 2.4, "OLAP Cubes", on page 20.
However, although we do have all combinations available, it does not mean that each
single combination of measures and dimensions is relevant. The application prevents
you from configuring technically impossible combinations but cannot prevent you from
creating misleading charts.
As a rule of thumb:
● Values stored in the same subsection of the value tree make a good match.
● Dimensions stored under "General" can be flexibly used in combination with almost
any measure.

2.3 Statistics Examples

The following examples focus on the message the chart delivers.
● Technology Duration by Technology....................................................................... 18
● Count of Tests by Technology................................................................................. 18
● LQ (MOS) Per Call Mode and Home Operator....................................................... 19
● Call Drop Rate (CDR) by UARFCN and IMSI......................................................... 20

2.3.1 Technology Duration by Technology

You want to know how long a technology, band, or cell is used in the measurement
data.
● Chart translation: "How much time did the UEs spend in which technology?"

Figure 2-3: Total duration UEs spent in each technology

2.3.2 Count of Tests by Technology

Counting tests per technology is more complex than it may appear: during a test, tech-
nology handovers can happen so that you have multiple technologies for a single test.
If a test uses LTE, UMTS and GSM alike, then it contributes to all three bars of the
chart. As a consequence, the sum of all bars is greater than the total number of execu-
ted tests. Bear in mind that between the dimension and the measure you use, there is
not always a one-to-one relation.
● Chart translation: "In how many tests did a certain technology appear?"

Statistics Examples

2.3.3 LQ (MOS) Per Call Mode and Home Operator

The following example mixes dimensions from different areas in the value tree. "LQ
(MOS)" and "Call Mode" come from "Voice Services" while "Home Operator" comes
from "General" section. "Home Operator" is valid for all data except scanner data,
since scanners do not have a home operator.
● Chart translation: "What is the average LQ MOS for each call mode and home
operator?"

2.3.4 Call Drop Rate (CDR) by UARFCN and IMSI

With the following example, we voluntarily show a combination of measures and

dimensions that do not translate into a helpful message.
● Chart translation: "How does the call drop rate correlate with UARFCN and IMSI?"

Figure 2-6: Meaningless chart

2.4 OLAP Cubes

SmartAnalytics Scene is based on the exploitation of multidimensional online analytical
processing (OLAP) cubes, providing you business intelligence capabilities.
While a relational database serves as repository to store historical data that can be fur-
ther used for analysis, a cube uses analytical queries—using Multidimensional Expres-
sions (MDX) language—for an instantaneous and flexible evaluation of data.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 20

OLAP Cubes

Example:
The following cube has three dimensions: region, time, and status. All dimensions have
members, e.g., "March" is a member in the month level of time dimension. The cube is
designed to aggregate, analyze and find trends in the measures, e.g., calculating the
percentage of dropped calls that occurred in February in Geneva:

R&S SwissQual AG® Network Performance Score – NPS

3 Network Performance Score – NPS

SmartAnalytics Scene offers an easily accessible metric for the overall quality of expe-
rience of mobile networks. The Network Performance Score (NPS) implementation in
SmartAnalytics Scene complies with the latest ETSI recommendations.
The SmartProducts tool chain supports the NPS with end-to-end features:
● In data collection, SmartBenchmarker comes with dedicated measurement cam-
paign profiles that will guarantee that all required KPIs for NPS are measured. Fur-
thermore, it is possible to pre-define the population category (e.g. City, Town,
Road) for a measurement. Find out more on how to apply population categories in
post-processing in Chapter A, "NPS Tagging", on page 234.
● In post-processing, SmartAnalytics Scene provides several features to adjust the
scoring to the data measured and the NPS version applicable. Additionally, Smar-
tAnalytics Scene allows changing or setting population categories for data, that
lacks this categorization or has a wrong category assigned. Finally, SmartAnalytics
Scene provides dedicated workspaces and visualizations that illustrate the NPS
and to drill down into any of the particular NPS KPIs.
The NPS can be configured per database. Depending on the measurements, the user
can define the population categories along with weights in the score calculation.
Results that belong to a category will only be awarded with a share of the possible
points awarded for a KPI. The total over all categories must be 100%.
The recommended NPS version is always the highest available – the networks, the
KPIs and the measurements change over time and so must a comprehensive score
evolve with the new results that tend to be higher.

R&S SwissQual AG® Machine Learning
Call Stability Score

4 Machine Learning
Machine Learning can be an enabler to the market to, on one side, access deep
insights that otherwise would have remained hidden, and, on the other side, provide
big efficiencies in automation of manual tasks by creating a smarter system that guides
the user through the usual work process, instead of forcing them to repeat each and
every step once again.
R&S SwissQual has focused on providing Machine Learning use cases that narrow
down relevant insights in drive testing data and provide tangible benefits to the user.

4.1 Machine Learning Integration in SmartAnalytics

Scene
SmartAnalytics Scene supports several use cases powered by Machine Learning algo-
rithms. In the search for efficiency and solutions that can scale up, Machine Learning is
an ideal answer. SmartAnalytics Scene includes specific and clear use cases that pro-
vide added value in the short term. These can be found under the "Vision" scenario’s
workspaces.

4.2 Call Stability Score

Currently in their tests, operators typically focus on very specific optimization use
cases, such as dropped calls. However, a dropped call is a probabilistic event which
can occur in a specific point with a specific probability.
That means that if we are lucky in our drive tests, and we pass through those poor-
performing areas but the calls did not drop, we would never analyze those areas,
therefore missing optimization opportunities.
Call Stability Score, based on a model trained on tens of thousands of calls, provides
that hidden information of how close a call is to dropping by obtaining a score between
0 and 1 (the higher the score, the more stable the call was). This enables us to locate
regions with more problems and concentrate our efforts where optimization will have
the biggest impact. Furthermore, when aggregating these scores by different dimen-
sions, such as operators or radio access technology, users can perform benchmarking
tasks. In contrast to the call drop rate (CDR), where in well-performing networks a sig-
nificantly large number of calls have to be done to obtain reliable rates, the Call Stabil-
ity Score provides a continuous metric of the stability of the radio access network from
the very first call.

Call Stability Score (CSS) is currently supported for UMTS and LTE calls.

to bottom, the best performing operator for each bin, the average CSS by operator and

4.3 Anomaly Detection

One of the challenging points of any optimization department is to focus on specific
areas where optimization has to be done. The anomaly detection module automatically
finds anomalous areas in our network by highlighting test samples that stand out with
respect to the normal conditions, so that the optimization tasks can be more efficient
and guided.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 30

R&S SwissQual AG® Machine Learning
Anomaly Detection

Optimization analysis has traditionally used one-dimensional filters to point out tests
with poor-performing metrics. In contrast, Anomaly Detection performs a multi-dimen-
sional analysis that reveals uncommonly under- or over-performing tests, which other-
wise would have been hidden to the user. This enables the detection of scenarios in
which, for example, network investments are not providing the expected improvement
in performance. The "Anomaly Detail View" displays the metric values that were taken
into account by the model as features along with their nearest known "Reference"
value and the resulting "Feature Deviation". This shows how much each metric contrib-
utes to the anomaly and guides the user to understand why the sample stands out.
See examples in the anomaly categories below.

4.3.1 VoLTE Call Establishment

The VoLTE call establishment anomaly detection automatically detects calls with espe-
cially uncommon establishments. These calls are presented to the user along with the
relevant information used by the model.
The "Anomaly Detail View" displays the metric values that were taken into account by
the model as features in the "Value" fields, along with their nearest "Reference" learned
by the model and the resulting normalized "Feature Deviation" between the latter two.
This shows how much each metric contributes to the anomaly and guides the user to
understand why the sample stands out.

time has been measured despite having a strong signal

4.3.2 HTTP Capacity Download

Understanding poor performance in data is a very complex task, as there are multiple
dimensions and they can all be relevant. As a result, it takes a lot of time to check
every single dimension manually. The Anomaly Detection module solves this issue by
performing a multidimensional analysis and pointing us directly to the causes of the
data degradation.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 31

R&S SwissQual AG® Machine Learning
Anomaly Detection

In this case, an advanced time-based anomaly detection method is used supporting

dense time-based data. As a result, the "Anomaly Detail View" indicates the user
where and when the anomaly happened by plotting over time the real Value of the test
vs. the Reference value expected by the model.
HTTP Capacity Download is currently supported for LTE tests.

Figure 4-4: Example of an anomalous HTTP Capacity Download test. The Anomaly Detail View shows
how the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio is much lower than expected during
first few seconds of the test.

Anomaly detection of HTTP Capacity Download tests is based on a Deep Learning

model that supports dense multidimensional time-series data. This model is not simply
looking at average values reported for a test. Instead, it is analyzing all the sequences
of all measured dimensions in combination and can, therefore, spot anomalous trends,
including sudden glitches in the data. As an example, it could report the curve for SINR
as an anomaly for a data test, even if the overall average for that KPI would look
unsuspicious.

tion for time-based models is visible and helps interpreting the nature of the anomaly.

Parts of the sequences can be highlighted in red if they differ heavily from what the
trained model is used to. A small indicator in the anomaly detail view displays a small
red indicator to point out KPIs that have such unexpected curves.

R&S SwissQual AG® CM360°

5 CM360°
With CM360°, a network emulator can virtually re-create the network environment cap-
tured in the field during drive tests. The application produces the captured network
configurations and CMsequencer test scripts which simulate the network’s cells and
their behavior including layer 3 signaling messages of LTE and 5G NR. The network
configurations and the scripts are ready to be executed on the R&S CMX500 using the
CMsequencer and CMsquares.
Testing a wireless device (e. g. smartphone, TCU) with the generated network configu-
rations and scripts allows you to reproduce a problem scenario or to verify different
KPIs and device functionalities under the lab conditions.
The CM360° processing is based on the field logs collected during drive tests. These
logs can have various formats and consist of different levels of information, depending
on the method used to collect the data. Usually, during drive tests, diagnostic tools
(e.g. from R&S QualiPoc or chipset-specific) are used to capture the data from the
wireless device. Solution allows multiple KPI views to easily decide which type of data
(signaling, mobility, cell properties, etc.) shall be selected to simulate the network.
Once you select the type and data of interest, this data is converted to a network con-
figuration and test script for the R&S CMX500.
For more information on CM360° in SmartAnalytics Scene, refer to Chapter 9.4,
"CM360°", on page 107.

Network Performance Score

8 Working with the Dashboard

The dashboard gives you an overview of the database content and the first hints on
which topics require a deeper investigation.

SmartAnalytics Scene uses the active database as the only datasource for all workspa-
ces created under "Scenarios", and for the "Dashboard".

Figure 8-1: SmartAnalytics Scene dashboard

How to use the dashboard?

● On the tabs, the more you navigate to the right, the more specific the topics are.
● On each tab, the more you navigate to the bottom of the page, the more detailed
the panels are.
● SmartAnalytics Scene synchronizes all dashboard panels when you add a filter.

8.1 Overview
The "Overview" tab shows how the data are distributed regionally and over time. In
addition, it provides an overview of the available campaigns, technologies and opera-
tors.

8.2 Network Performance Score

The "Network Performance Score" tab provides a quick assessment of the mobile net-
works identified in the database.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 60

R&S SwissQual AG® Working with the Dashboard
Network Performance Score

It includes several aspects such as:

● The network performance as perceived by a user.
● The consideration of all facets of today’s services.
● The best practices for the weighting of services, regions and use cases.
The score is designed as a management tool to provide an immediate overview and
comparison based on the defined geographical categories and allows:
● Rating of individual regions
● Rating of individual spots
● Rating of technologies
Also it is designed for an efficient drilldown to the problematic KPIs by providing the
remaining potential in points for each contributing KPI.
The top-left panel displays the overall Network Performance Score. If you scroll down,
you display a drilldown of the Network Performance Score into categories of tests
(voice and data) and into used technologies (for voice and data tests).

Figure 8-2: Network Performance Score tab on Dashboard

NPS reliability
The NPS requires a high number of results to be reliable, e.g., 1000 calls are required
for a statistically trustworthy call drop rate. By filtering or splitting the data as done in
the dashboard, you have a high probability to undercut these thresholds.

We strongly recommend filtering this workspace by network operator; otherwise, the

statistics and call lists refer to all operators.

● "Overview" tab. Shows how dropped and failed calls are distributed in general,
and by campaign.
● "Failed Calls" tab. Shows a statistical analysis of failed call setup failures for a
specific network operator.
● "Dropped Calls" tab. Shows a statistical analysis of dropped calls for a specific
network operator.
● "Drill Down" tab. Allows investigating the root cause of individual failed or drop-
ped calls; e.g., you can identify failed handovers by looking at the related tables
and the layer 3 information.

Figure 9-37: Scanner coverage classification value items

Each class value is calculated per map bin level. For the best results, we recommend
setting 100 m as the base bin size. For more information, refer to Map bin settings.
The following classes are available:
● Deep Indoor (> -60 dBm)
● Indoor (from -60 dBm to -75 dBm)
● In car (from -75 dBm to -90 dBm)
● Outdoor (from -90 dBm to -115 dBm)
● Limited or No Service (from -115 dBm to -135 dBm)
● No Coverage (< -135 dBm or no measurements)
● Inconclusive. This class occurs when the information is not reliable due to insuffi-
cient data available in the map bin. To improve results, increase the base bin size.

To customize the coverage levels, go to "Database > Configuration > Analysis" tab.

R&S SwissQual AG® Filtering Capabilities

10 Filtering Capabilities
The following rules apply for filters:
● You can apply filters on all workspaces, including the dashboard.
● The filter affects the entire workspace (global filter), i.e., it persists if you switch
from one tab to another and affects all panels present on a page.
● SmartAnalytics Scene saves the applied filter when you leave the workspace and
reopens this workspace with the same filter applied.
● You can save the filter in the "Filter favorites" and use it across different databases.
Filters are saved per user.

To add and apply a filter

1. Open a workspace/the dashboard.

Figure 10-1: Dashboard view without filter

2. Click icon on the workspace title bar.

3. Disable "Apply filters immediately" if you do not want to apply the filter immediately

Note:
In the right part of the dialog, both "Operator" and "Value" show options that are
related to the nature of the "Value item", and for example:
● If you select "Operator" as a "Value item", then the "Operator" is either "Equals"
or "Not equals". The "Value" has to be filled directly or selected in the proposed
drop-down list.
● If you select "RSSI (LTE)" as a "Value item", then the "Operator" is either
"Equals", "Greater than", "Greater than or equal to", "Smaller than", or "Smaller
than or equal to". The "Value" has to be filled directly; the field mentions the
expected unit, in that case "[dBm]".
6. Click "OK".
SmartAnalytics Scene filters the workspace accordingly, the defined filter being dis-
played on the title bar.

11 Data Visualization
On any workspace, click the edit icon and then use the plus icon "+" to add a new
visualization panel. These panels are also referred to as widgets or views.
There are many different widgets available. Some examples:
● Table
● Detail views like protocol view
● Map
● Line charts
● UE Views
Most importantly, there are two types of widgets:
● Time-based: For displaying data as in an NQDI session analysis (e.g. L3, time-
based table, map point layers).
● Statistical: For compiling dashboards as in a report (e.g. bar chart, statistics table,
map tile layers).
The color of the line chart is derived from the color of the split by value (defined in "Set-
tings -> Colors") and a scope option.

11.1 Statistical View

In this section, you can familiarize yourself with all the views in SmartAnalytics Scene
that display statistical values from the OLAP cubes.

11.2 Bar Chart

The bar chart breaks down statistical data by one or multiple categorical dimensions
and is easily comprehensible and easy to read.

Figure 11-2: A simple bar chart

The tooltip of a bar shows, besides the actual value, additional information such as
"Count", "Average", "Minimum" and "Maximum" of all the (possibly filtered) data in the
database.

Figure 11-3: Tooltip data

To configure a bar chart or most other widget types, simply assign values from the
value tree to the highlighted fields in the configuration area, as shown.

Figure 11-4: Select and assign values to the chart

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 149

R&S SwissQual AG® Data Visualization
Bar Chart

Hovering over a value in the tree, shows a short explanation of the value at hand. By
clicking an already assigned field, the value tree jumps to the location of the value in
the tree structure.
The preview of your chart updates automatically whenever you assign a new value to
the configuration and when there is data that can be displayed. This applies for all
widget types.
Clicking "OK" saves the configured panel and adds it to the workspace.

Figure 11-5: Bar chart with split by value

Further customization options for all chart types can be found on the "OPTIONS " tab.
The available options may vary, depending on the selected values (e.g. stacking
requires that a split-by criterion has been defined).
All bar chart options:
● Vertical/horizontal orientation
● Stacking options
● Stacking options
● Value labels
● Maximum number of bars shown

Local filtering
In more recent versions of SmartAnalytics Scene, we introduced local filtering of values
for most widgets. This greatly enhances your possibilities to customize charts for a
specific analysis context e.g. by restricting data to only failed sessions for error analy-
sis.
The possibility to add such filters is accessible from the dedicated tab "Filters". Click
"ADD FILTER" to add a filter that reduces the data shown on the bar chart, e.g. to
show only bars for specific categories of tests.
Please note that these filters are part of the workspace configuration and are always
applied. Read-only users of the workspace are not able to disable or change this filter.

Statistics Table

Figure 11-7: Bar chart with local filters

11.3 Statistics Table

The statistics table breaks down statistical data by one or multiple categorical dimen-
sions and is easily comprehensible and easy to read. The purpose of this table is to
provide a view on a significant number of results at once. When breaking down the sta-
tistics for a measurement value per operator, technology band and region at the same
time, this can yield hundreds of rows of results.
On the downside, this type of visualization only supports measures from the same stat-
istical cube. If you need to mix values like RSRP from LTE with throughput values from
LTE PDSCH or test results, please refer to Chapter 11.5, "Statistics Value List",
on page 154.
To configure a statistics table, simply assign values from the value tree to the highligh-
ted fields in the configuration area as shown.

There are currently no further customization options.

11.4 Cell-based Table

The cell-based table is just another flavor of a statistics table. It still breaks down statis-
tical data by one or multiple categorical dimensions, but it comes with several default
columns. Those columns identify cells and synchronize with selected BTS on the map
(and vice versa).
To configure a cell-based table, simply assign values from the value tree to the high-
lighted fields in the configuration area as shown.

11.5 Statistics Value List

The statistics value list creates another tabular view of the data. Unlike the statistics
table, you can use it to mix data from different statistical cubes, e.g. a count of capacity
tests with LTE radio metrics. The value list serves the purpose of displaying some few
key values of great interest on a compact space.

11.7 Maps
The map widget in SmartAnalytics Scene supports three different types of map layers
such as point layers for displaying time domain data and bin and region layers for dis-
playing statistical results. Thus, the map is the only widget that can be used to visual-
ize time domain data and aggregated statistical data within the same panel.

To add a new layer:

1. Click the "+" icon, next to "Configuration" in the map preview area.

2. Select a value from the value tree and assign it to the layer. Depending on the
value type ("Time" or statistical like "Average"), you can choose a different visuali-
zation type.
Note: You cannot change the type of a layer after creation, so you should be clear
about whether a bin, region or point layer is required.

Regarding general settings, the map supports changing the panel title and overriding
the default background map tiles with a different style.

Figure 11-15: Adding a new layer to a map

R&S SwissQual AG® Data Visualization
Maps

11.7.1 Map Regions

The first layer type to address in detail is the region layer. It displays a statistical value
for a whole area like a country, province or city. By clicking a highlighted area of the
region layer, you can drill into the next lower level of region shapes, e.g., from country
to region. At the same time, a global filter is added to limit the data to the chosen
parent region, therefore aligning the visible child regions with other views like bar
charts.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 159

R&S SwissQual AG® Data Visualization
Maps

Figure 11-17: Configuring a shading value for regions

The customization options for region layers are limited to choosing a dimension value
like "Home Operator" to color the regions. Also, under "OPTIONS" you can specify
whether to use the best or worst value for the shading of the area, e.g., the color of the
operator with the highest or the lowest throughput in a region.

11.7.2 Map Bins

The bin layer type displays statistical value similar to the region layer. However, in
addition to selecting a highlighted raster bin area for filtering and drilling into the next
lower level, the bin layer also supports switching to a smaller bin size automatically by
zooming into the panel using the mouse wheel or the "+" and "-" button in the map
area. Furthermore, the bin layer comes with some additional customization options,
like the "DELTA MODE".

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 160

R&S SwissQual AG® Data Visualization
Maps

Figure 11-18: Adding a new bin layer to a map

The customization option for bin layers allows you to:

● Choose a dimension value like "Home Operator" to color the regions - "VALUES" /
"Shading".
● Choose whether to display the color of the best or the worst group in the shading
category on a bin - "OPTIONS" / "Sort by best".
● Lock the bin size to a maximum or minimum size of bin to display - "OPTIONS" /
"Bin size".

R&S SwissQual AG® Data Visualization
Maps

Figure 11-19: Configuring a bin layer

The last and most complex customization option for bin layers is the delta mode. It
allows you to plot the delta of two values on the map, e.g. the difference between the
average throughput of Operator A and Operator B. Activate this mode by first selecting
the tab "DELTA MODE". Then, choose from further options:
● Use the absolute delta or the delta in percent.
● The theme profile to use for coloring the delta values (note that zero means that
both values are equal).

Figure 11-20: Configuring a bin layer with delta mode

To plot a delta, you also need to define what two values you would like to compare.
This happens on the "VALUES" tab:
1. First, select the "Delta value" to split by the grid value.

2. Select Value A and Value B from the delta value for comparison.
When this is done, the map shows you for each bin the difference between Value A
and Value B for each bin.

11.7.3 Indoor Map

All map views in SmartAnalytics Scene will automatically display floorplans on the map
for indoor measurement data, collected with ROMES4, SmartBenchmarker and Quali-
Poc.
● It is possible to keep drive test and indoor data in the same database.
● It is highly recommended to use a georeferenced floorplan in the measurement.
Please consult the corresponding data collection tool’s manual on how to create a
georeferenced indoor measurement.

Figure 11-23: An indoor 5G NR scanner measurement

While zoomed out on the map you will see a building indicator that allows you to select
a specific site, for which you would like the corresponding floor plan and indoor data.
Once you zoomed in on a specific building, a floor level indicator allows you to switch
between different floors or levels of the selected building or site.

Map Points and Cells

11.9 Map Points and Cells

Map point layer enables you to display time-based data as dots on the map. You can
even see points from multiple point layers on the same map. In that case, it makes
sense to configure different styles for the points and to arrange the layers in useful
order on top of each other.

Figure 11-26: Adding a point layer to a map

You find the customization options for point layers on the " OPTIONS" tab. The options
allow you to:
● Choose which value to display among "Best", "Worst", "Avarage", if there are multi-
ple values available at the same point - "OPTIONS" / "Value priority".
● Choose a different shape for the points - "OPTIONS" / "Icon".
● Choose whether to display the actual value as a label right next to each point -
"OPTIONS" / "Show lables".
● Choose the size of the point icon - "OPTIONS" / "Size".
● Enable plotting more point layers on the same map with a predefined offset -
"OPTIONS" / "Render layer with predefined offset". In addition, you can customize
the scaling factor of the offset by changing the "Point layer offset factor" in the
"SETTINGS".
● Choose whether to display points in a fixed color instead of the normally assigned
color - "OPTIONS" / "Default color".

Map Points and Cells

Figure 11-27: Configuring advanced options of a map point layer

When you add the first point layer to a map, two additional layers appear automatically.
● The first of those layers is the "Base Stations " layer. It works in the same way as
the base station layer on the BTS Manager map, but with some extra options. By
default, it only displays cells that are linked to the active measurement data on the
point layer. However, you can choose to display all imported BTS.
● The other layer, "Line to Cell", draws lines between cells and the related measured
points on the point layer. You can configure when to display these lines (showing
all possible lines can be overwhelming) and by which criteria (e.g. the carrier index
or EARFCN of the BTS) to color the lines. Otherwise, lines appear by default in the
color of the point they connect to.

With the time-based table, you can display a list of records along the time axis either
for all devices contributing values for the current point in time or only for the currently
selected device in the session overview.

If you click a line in the table, all the other time-based views synchronize to the nearest
possible point in time to the time stamp selected with the record. If that particular row
also belonged to a different UE, also the selected device in the session overview and
any other device-specific views like the Layer 3 view switches to show data from the
newly selected device.
If you want to show the data from a single device only, you need to configure the chart
with "Depend on device selection" enabled on the "OPTIONS" tab. This makes particu-
larly sense for data like IP Trace or other trace information.

Time-based Value List

11.11 Time-based Value List

The time-based value list serves the purpose of displaying some few key values of
great interest on a compact space and creates a tabular view of the data similar to the
statistics value list. You can use it to display data from different underlying source
tables e.g. capacity test throughput results with LTE radio and PDSCH metrics and to
see the last reported value for each measure for to the current point in time.
It is important to distinguish between three different types of time-based values on the
value list:
● File scope values – like "Home Operator", "File Name", "Campaign" :
– Show the last value reported value for the current file.
● Test scope values – like "Test Id", "LQ MOS " and test summary results in general:
– Show the one value reported for the current test.
● Time scope values – like "LTE Net PDSCH Throughput", "SS-RSRP", "Carrier
Index"
– Show the last value reported value before the current point in time, but no older
than three seconds.
– The value starts to fade out after one second and is removed from the list if not
reported at all in the last three seconds.

– "Percent" enables a percent value.
● Use to access the slider located at the top of the chart. Bin size can be changed
dynamically using the slider.
– Dragging the black dot or clicking on any value on the scale changes the bin
size and the data are reloaded.
– However, after the tab is changed or the workspace reloaded, the value is set
to the configured one again.
– On the slider, the max size is always larger than the configured value by a fac-
tor of ten and the min size is 1/10 of the configured value.
– Increments are therefore smaller on the left than on the right of the configured
value.
– The larger black dot in the center is the selected bin size. The smaller black
dots on the far left and right ends of the scale are the min and max values of

ics Scene 19.2 supports only session-based reports.

9. Click "Edit" to modify the excel report template according to the settings.

10. Modify the columns on the “Data Management” sheet, according to the columns in
the SQL query. Note: The ordering of the columns in the excel report must be con-
sistent with the SQL query.

11. Add/modify the pivot table on the"Average Report" sheet, with the data source from
the "Data Management" sheet.

12. For every additionally configured page in the Report Configurator, add the data
sheet in the Excel report template with the exact same name. Add new pivot tables
to the sheet "Average Report" with the data source from the new data sheets.
Note: If you create a new report, sheet changes in the VBA code are necessary.

All of the following steps have to be executed in order to make an existing NQDI report
work with SmartAnalytics Scene.

You need an NQDI version >= 19.2.90.

B.2.1 Increase the Report Version of the SQL Script

1. Update the version of the report in the DB, using SQL Server Management Studio:

You can copy the code:

Update Reports Set Version = 2
where name = 'Your Report'

2. Export the SQL script with NQDI

This will add the correct version to the report script.

3. Overwrite the SQL script of the original report with the exported script.

B.2.2 Adjust the Excel Template

Now, the Excel template needs some modifications:

1. Open the template with an Excel.

2. Make sure that the report has a "Comment Sheet":

3. Make sure that the fields B6 and F3 in the "Comment Sheet" are empty.

B.2.2.1 Add VBA Script to Template

5. Save the Excel file.

6. Now you can import the updated report with NQDI.

If successful, your new report will be available in SmartAnalytics Scene and NQDI.

B.2.3 Troubleshooting for Custom Report Resources

A likely issue to happen is that images in the old report no longer appear in the upda-
ted report.
Reason - We cannot assume anymore that the target computer of the user has an
NQDI or Automation Agent installed locally. Therefore, we can no longer rely on refer-
encing images from an image folder on the local PC.
Solution - Images (e.g. logos) now need to be added within the Excel template before-
hand.

– SHX -> shape index format; a positional index of the feature geometry to allow
seeking forwards and backwards quickly (mandatory)
– DBF -> attribute format; columnar attributes for each shape, in dBase IV format
(mandatory)
– PRJ -> projection description, using a well-known text representation of coordi-
nate reference systems (optional, if not given the EPSG: 4326 is used)

C.2 Prepare and Import Regions

This is a short description of how to prepare regions and import them into SmartAnalyt-
ics Scene.
For this guide the free tool QGIS is used, but it can be applied to any other tool as long
the following two mandatory aspects are attended to:
● The size (precision) of the polygons
● The properties used in the shapefile table to define the relations
The first point is more related to SQL Server and possible timeouts during the import or
loading of polygon information, as the servers run into timeouts due to the large
amount of textual information stored in the region table.

C.2.1 Regions

Below are the regional zoom levels:

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 249

R&S SwissQual AG® Custom Regions in SmartAnalytics Scene
Prepare and Import Regions

World
This is the topmost level for regions, all continent levels are mapped to "World". This
level is present by default.

Continent
The world level contains all continents. The continents are automatically provided by
the application, so there is no need for additional import. Continents are defined as
"Zoom Level 2".
The following continents are defined per default:
● Africa
● South America
● Europe
● North America
● Australia
● Central America
● Asia

Country
A large number of countries are automatically distributed with the SmartAnalytics
Scene application. A manual import is only necessary where a country is missing from
the default list. All countries correspond to "Zoom Level 5".

Province and District

These levels are not distributed by default and need to be imported manually. Use
"Zoom Level 7" for province and "Zoom Level 8" for district.

Sub District
Very granular region definition, in most cases not used at all. Defined as "Zoom Level
9".

C.2.2 Creating and Importing New Regions

C.2.2.1 Necessary Attributes

All shapes used must have following attributes defined to be able to import them into
SmartAnalytics Scene:
● Parent
● Name
● Zoomlevel
● Category
The shapefile can have other attributes as well, they will be ignored during the import.

C.2.2.2 Downloading and Modifying Spatial Data

To download spatial data for a country:

1. Go to [Link]

2. Search for a country in the search bar. In this case, we use Switzerland as an
example.

3. Click the "Shapefile" link to download the zip file with shapes.

4. Unzip the folder.

There are generally four levels inside: Country (0), Province (1), District (2) and
Municipality (3).

To modify the shapefile contents:

1. Use an appropriate editing tool. This example uses the free QGIS tool.

2. Download the QGIS tool from [Link]

by following the prompts.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 251

R&S SwissQual AG® Custom Regions in SmartAnalytics Scene
Prepare and Import Regions

Note: You can use another, appropriate tool. Just apply the changes with the corre-
sponding tool options.
Note: To be able to import the shapes into SmartAnalytics Scene later, the attribute
table must be modified prior to import.
3. Open the QGIS application and import the first layer (in this case we start with
country).
Note: Only import country shapes you do not see already in your country region
after initially importing the data.
4. In the user menu option, navigate to "Layer > Add Layer > Add Vector Layer".

5. Select the file from the shapefile zip folder you downloaded earlier
(gadm36_CHE_0.shp).
Note: In the popup dialog there is an option to select the encoding if you have
strange names in the attribute table after adding the layer to the list.
6. Locate the shape under "Layers" after importing.

7. Locate the country in the center window.

To edit the attribute table:

1. Select the shape name in the "Layers" window and use the option: "Layer > Open
attribute table" (or F6).
This opens the attribute table window and shows the shape attributes.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 252

R&S SwissQual AG® Custom Regions in SmartAnalytics Scene
Prepare and Import Regions

Note: The downloaded data contain some fields that are not needed (i.e. GID_0)
and some that can be used directly (only a column rename needed).
2. Open the layer properties: "Layer > Layer Properties".

3. Select the option "Fields" in the resultant popup window.

4. Activate "Toggle editing mode".

5. Delete (or rename) the field "GID_0" using the buttons above the table. Close the
window.

6. Open the attribute table again (F6) and change (or add) the following values for the
column headers:
● Name: Switzerland
● Category: Country
● Parent: Europe
● Zoomlevel: 5
After editing the table should look like this:

Note: Similar values apply for lower regions too.

7. Select "Layer > Current Edits > Save for Selected Layer(s)" to save the edits for
the layer.

Reducing Shape Complexity

It is necessary to reduce shape complexity before importing into SmartAnalytics
Scene.

To reduce shape complexity using QGIS:

1. Select the layer that needs to be simplified.

2. Select "Vector > Geometry Tools > Simplify..."

A dialog popup box will open.

3. Set 0.0001 as Tolerance (you can also experiment with values here).
Note: The goal is to have the shapefile at least half the size of the original.
4. Click "OK".
A new layer with a simplified shape is created.

5. Right click the mouse and select "Export > Save features as..." to export the layer.

A Second Example: Spatial Data for a Province

This example requires the same steps as Chapter C.2.2.2, "Downloading and Modify-
ing Spatial Data", on page 251 but with some added detail.
This example uses provinces in Switzerland:

There are more columns in the attribute table. Some of these can be now renamed and
reused:

To edit the attribute table for the province level:

1. Rename the attribute "NAME_0" to "Parent".

2. Rename the attribute "NAME_1" to "Name".

3. Rename the attribute "ENGTYPE1" to "Category".

4. Add attribute "Zoomlevel".

5. [Optional] Remove the remaining, unnecessary attributes.

New table after changes:

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 255

R&S SwissQual AG® Custom Regions in SmartAnalytics Scene
Prepare and Import Regions

6. Select "Zoomlevel" in the dropdown menu (top left).

7. Insert "7" in the input field. This is the corresponding level for provinces.

8. Apply the value to all rows using the "update all" button.
Note: Use "replace( 'NULL','NULL','Province' )" to replace text or NULL.

9. Select "Category". Apply changes to all records as in step 8.

Note: You can use the same function on all fields if needed, this saves time during
the table edits. Consult the expression dialog for more functions:

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 256

R&S SwissQual AG® Custom Regions in SmartAnalytics Scene
Importing the Files

To update the country shape:

1. Save the changes made to the layer.

2. Simplify the layer.

3. Export the file to the hard drive.

For each layer there are 4 files needed for import:

C.3 Importing the Files

Before import, there must be at least one database in the history list, which is set as
the active database. The user importing the shape files needs proper access permis-
sions. The viewers or managers not owning the database is not allowed importing cus-
tom regions.
To import the custom regions files, go to the database management page and set the
database to active, in which the custom region files are to be imported (if database if
not ready, you need to wait for the running task(s) in the database to be finished).
Click on the three dots to open the database menu and select the option "Import cus-
tom regions".

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 257

R&S SwissQual AG® Custom Regions in SmartAnalytics Scene
Importing the Files

This action opens the dialog where the user can either drop the files or select them
from the file system.

The list below the drop zone shows the check symbol for those files that are being
dropped (or selected) by the user. The ok button stays disabled as long as the manda-
tory files are missing:

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 258

R&S SwissQual AG® Custom Regions in SmartAnalytics Scene
Importing the Files

The missing files can be dropped afterwards; there is no need to drop all files at once.
As soon as all the mandatory files are selected the "OK "button is enabled and the user
can start the actual import of the files into the database.
The import process does not actively trigger processing of the database. The user
needs to either start the incremental or full processing of the database for the imported
regions shapes to be active.

As long as the database is not being processed, the database entry in the database
management page shows the information that there are new regions in the database.

R&S SwissQual AG® Database Processing Performance Overview
Processing Task Impact on Processing

D Database Processing Performance Over-

view
This chapter describes the database processing variants of SmartAnalytics Scene . It
describes the impact of hardware configuration and task type on the duration of data
processing in SmartAnalytics Scene.

D.1 Processing Task Impact on Processing

This section lists the measured durations of tasks like file import in SmartAnalytics
Scene.
First, it is crucial to understand that certain tasks can take only a small fraction of the
biggest tasks. Some examples:
● If we just update the BTS list from new data in BTS Manager, SmartAnalytics
Scene only has to touch very few data tables in the database and the statistics.
This kind of task will therefore complete rather quickly.
● If we import new measurement files into an existing large database, many tables
receive new data, but we may safely leave the existing content untouched. This
task type is called Incremental Processing and can take hours for very large data-
bases, but is actually rather efficient.
● If we upgrade a database from a prior version, we need to lift all existing data to
the new SmartAnalytics Scene data structure and have to treat every last bit of
data. This task type is called Full Processing and takes again significantly longer
than incremental processing.
Naturally, we should avoid full processing, but in order to come up with a plan for
importing and processing data on a day to day basis you will need some reference val-
ues and a view on how the duration for incremental processing evolves.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 260

R&S SwissQual AG® Database Processing Performance Overview
Hardware Configuration Impact on Processing

The above table shows how the duration of the ETL from the NQDI database structure
to the SSAS statistical cubes develops according to the accumulated database size.
The increase per import of the same size is linear, but wait times have to be consid-
ered after importing a couple of days worth of measurement with multiple devices.
As we can see, the incremental processing is only fraction of the time a full processing
requires, but produce the same result. Still, the overall duration of the full sequence is
usually longer than a single full processing. So in case you have weeks of measure-
ment to important at once, consider importing it in a single step using Automation
Agent, rather than importing portion after portion. If, on the other hand, you get new
data on a daily basis and do not want your databases being blocked by ongoing pro-
cessing, import those smaller chunks of daily data every night and you have the latest
data for reporting and analysis ready every morning.
On top of the listed duration for the incremental processing comes the import duration
into NQDI database structure, which is basically the same as importing data into an
NQDI only database. The NQDI database import grows with the amount of already
present data as well, but far less than the additional processing SmartAnalytics Scene
requires for it’s statistics.
To make a long story short: import your data when you do not need to work on your
data with SmartAnalytics Scene, usually, the best approach is to have Automation
Agent automatically download files and have it import and process the data outside the
working hours. This way databases (assuming a SmartAnalytics Scene Pro System
and exclusive usage of the database server) up to 1TB will finish by the next morning.
If processing time is critical, Automation Agent supports to configure which level of
detail is retained by the import. As an example, you will not require certain types of
data for a pure KPI and reporting database, so it is a good idea not to waste precious
resources (time, disk space, energy) on such records.
For more information on the topic of data processing optimization and detailed recom-
mendations based on your own corporate use cases, please contact our regional sup-
port.

D.2 Hardware Configuration Impact on Processing

This section lists the measured duration of a file import in SmartAnalytics Scene based
different typical hardware configurations.
Please note that all measurements listed here have been performed against an idle
system with:
● An empty database
● A single user logged on
● A single import task (~5GB of sqz files)
● A specific software version
● A specific set of measurement files
Furthermore, all data import measurements refer to L6 NQDI data import (complete set
of KPIs and trace information). Other types of files with a different distribution of data

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 261

R&S SwissQual AG® Database Processing Performance Overview
Hardware Configuration Impact on Processing

and measured technologies may be slower or faster when importing. It is important to

understand, that the processing duration also depends on the amount of data already
imported into a database.
The imported data size of 5 GB refers to the size of the files only, while the resulting
database size would be about 12 GB after the fully completed L6 import.
The data processing in SmartAnalytics Scene has basically three stages:
● Import – This is our basic file import that creates the same base line of tables and
data as NQDI uses (full NQDI compatibility is given).
● ETL – Is a task to correlate many NQDI tables and create a new data structure that
creates the foundation for a fast calculation of cube statistics and allows for flexible
filtering and grouping of data in the application.
● Statistics – In this phase, we create a secondary purely statistical SSAS database,
which allows for very fast queries for statistics as we use them in bar charts, pie
charts or bins on the map.

Custom KPIs via SQL Scripts

Custom KPIs are numbered with a unique Id 100000.

E.4 Custom KPIs via SQL Scripts

The following steps are required:

1. Write an SQL script that calculates new values.

2. Add the script to a folder on the application server.

3. Trigger the KPI reprocessing for a database.

E.4.1 Write an SQL Script that Calculates New Values

● Create a .sql file starting with "CKPI" and a unique index number. "CKPI1000Cus-
[Link]" would be a valid script name.
● Consider whether you want that script to be active on all your databases or not. If
not, you will have to check for the database name in the script and only continue if
the name was as expected.
● Make sure that you delete all prior calculations of the same KPI, especially if you
have tried out prior versions of the script on the system.

E.4.2 Add the Script to a Folder on the Application Server

On the application server host instance paste these scripts into the folder
C:\Program Files\Rohde-Schwarz\SwissQual Smart\PostProcessing\
SmartAnalytics\ProcessingEngine\Scripts\sql\custom.

E.4.3 Trigger the KPI Reprocessing for a Database

This step is not required if you have a new database and are only about to import the
first measurements. In general, the import of new files into an existing database will
trigger the execution of the custom scripts for all data and not just the new one.
● Under Settings – Database locate your DB on the database management page.
● Then click on the context menu and choose the command "Custom Events re-pro-
cessing".

● This will execute your script and also do some automatic precalculated statistics for
the new KPIs.

You can turn the generic "Results KPI" value columns like "Value 1" into properly
named measurement values with a unit by heading to "Settings / Custom Values" and
defining new measures in the value tree.

R&S SwissQual AG® Creating Custom Categories
What Are Custom Categories and Custom Scripts?

F Creating Custom Categories

F.1 Scope
This appendix explains how to use custom scripts to create custom categories, which
can then be used in SmartAnalytics Scene as additional categorical dimension for val-
ues.
Custom categories are an efficient way to enrich the content of SmartAnalytics Scene
with custom-specific elements to allow for new charts and use cases unavailable in the
standard installation. With custom categories, some proficiency with SQL and a bit of
imagination, many possibilities unfold.

F.2 What Are Custom Categories and Custom Scripts?

A custom category is an optional categorical dimension for values in our SmartAnalyt-
ics Scene data tables (e.g. "FactSpeech").
As an example, let us assume, you wanted to categorize all listening quality results into
a new category based on the POLQA MOS result value, with the following rule:
● If MOS >= 3 then set category "LQ" to "OK"
● If MOS < 3 then set category "LQ" to "NOK"
● Let us assume that this is the kind of chart you wanted to achieve:

Custom categories are automatically integrated in the time domain data structure and
the statistical cubes. They can be used like any other dimension once the data has
been processed with your custom script included.
A limitation that applies is that you may only define one additional custom category per
base value, listening quality LQ in this case.
A custom script is a script written in SQL, which helps to manipulate or configure your
data during database processing.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 276

R&S SwissQual AG® Creating Custom Categories
How to Create Custom Categories

This enables a variety of possibilities, including, but not limited to:

● adding a custom KPI
● categorizing some measures with custom categories (e.g. LQ MOS <2 or LTE
RSRP >= -77)
● tagging your data (including NPS categories)
● validating your data
To get more information or examples what custom scripts can look like, please contact
our Customer Support Center.

F.3 How to Create Custom Categories

With this, we come to the more sophisticated task of writing new content for the SQL
database.
First you need to create a text file ending with .sql.

F.3.1 Filename of the Custom Script

The name of your custom script file is extremely important. The reason is that it influen-
ces important technical aspects of when and how it is executed.
Names of custom scripts for custom categories have to start with the prefix “Dw10” fol-
lowed by a two-digit number e.g. “03” which defines in which place of the ETL workflow
it is executed. For example, a valid custom script could be named like
[Link].

F.3.2 Writing the SQL Script

1. Open the file in MS SQL Server Management studio.

2. Then, add the following code to your file:

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 277

R&S SwissQual AG® Creating Custom Categories
How to Create Custom Categories

3. This should then look similar to the next screenshot following below:

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 278

R&S SwissQual AG® Creating Custom Categories
How to Create Custom Categories

4. You may want to execute and test your code on a non-critical DB first. You can
then use the following commands in another query window to verify that you
actually achieved a result:

5. Make sure to save your sql file before proceeding.

How to Create Custom Categories

F.3.3 Adapting the SQL Script

Now, a short explanation about the code itself and some insights on how to change it
according to your own actual needs in the future.
The code in light blue from the previous example with “FactSpeech” is to be left alone,
you should never be required to change that.
● “FactSpeech” is the name of the table where SmartAnalytics Scene stores LQ test
results. It is essential to understand that all base data used by SmartAnalytics
Scene is stored in the tables starting with “Fact”.
– If your own next new custom category should account for 5G NR PDSCH
throughput rather than voice services test results simply use a different table
name in the script e.g. FactNR5GPDSCHStatisticsInfo and replace all
"FactSpeech" elements you see in the code above accordingly. There are 6
occurrences of that text to replace.
– A different fact table will have different column names and types for its data.
Again, referring to the PDSCH example, this would mean that you have to
replace the LQ column with something like
ScheduledPDSCHThroughputKbps.

– Finally, you would have to specify a different criteria and names for your cate-
gory. Here is how a modified working code would look like:

Where to Place Your Custom Script

F.4 Where to Place Your Custom Script

Depending on how your databases are processed, you have to place your custom
script in different locations.

When your place a custom script, it is used for ALL databases which will be processed,
not only for a single one.

F.4.1 Processing Your Database over Automation Agent

If the database is processed over an Automation Agent task, the custom script has to
be placed in the “custom” folder of the Automation Agent installation.
Find your Automation Agent installation path and place the script into the “custom”
folder (e.g.
C:\Program Files (x86)\SwissQual\NetQual\
Automation Agent Service\scripts\sql\custom).

F.4.2 Processing Your Data over SmartAnalytics Scene GUI

C:\Program Files\Rohde-Schwarz\SwissQual Smart\PostProcessing\
SmartAnalytics\ProcessingEngine\Scripts\sql\custom

Depending on the installation type, the path may differ.

Finally, trigger the following database command on the Database Management page
for your database to have your new categories created:

You only need to run this process once and only if you need the new categories to be
added for an existing database with data. Whenever you are importing new files to a
DB this task is covered automatically anyway.

R&S SwissQual AG® Scanner Coverage Classification

H Scanner Coverage Classification

Scanner coverage classification values are based on the signal level for each available
technology (5G SS-RSRP, 4G RSRP, 3G RSCP and 2G RxLev).

Figure H-1: Scanner coverage classification value items

Each class value is calculated per map bin level. For the best results, we recommend
setting 100 m as the base bin size. For more information, refer to Map bin settings.
The following classes are available:
● Deep Indoor (> -60 dBm)
● Indoor (from -60 dBm to -75 dBm)
● In car (from -75 dBm to -90 dBm)
● Outdoor (from -90 dBm to -115 dBm)
● Limited or No Service (from -115 dBm to -135 dBm)
● No Coverage (< -135 dBm or no measurements)
● Inconclusive. This class occurs when the information is not reliable due to insuffi-
cient data available in the map bin. To improve results, increase the base bin size.

Manual 3646.3013.02 ─ 24.1 291

R&S SwissQual AG® Scanner Coverage Classification

To customize the coverage levels, go to "Database > Configuration > Analysis" tab.
