INTRODUCTION
GPEH is a Performance Recording function which consists of two types of recording, User Equipment
TrafficRecording(UETR)andCellTrafficRecording(CTR)thatsupportsEricssonnetwork.Xeushelpsyou
to analyze calls, events, cells or phone models using GPEH data. It currently supports only Ericsson
WCDMAnetwork.RefertoAppendix1forEricssonGPEHRecordingSteps.

GEOANALYSISOVERVIEWANDPREREQUISITES
GeoAnalysis is a new feature on Xeus which enables you to estimate a location using nonGPS based
NetworkMeasurementRecordings.XeususesGeoAnalysistoperformGeolocateusingacombination
of OTDDA multi lateration and relative signal strength. Analysis on GeoAnalysis is done through plots
and reporting. Using GeoAnalysis, geolocated events and measurements can be plotted and areas
wheresignificantpilotoverlapsidentified.

Before performing GeoAnalysis, ensure that you have the supported network data that meets the
followingprerequisites:

1. ThenetworkdataimportedmustbeeitherEricssonBulkCMorEricssonKgetlogfile.Theimported
NetworkdatamustcontaintheRNCandCellthatmatcheswiththedatarecordedinGPEH.

Note: For best analysis or Geolocate through GeoAnalysis, it is recommended for you to
importthenetworkdatathattakesatleastanhourtoparse.

2. TheGPEHrecordingmustcontainRRCMeasurementReportandNBAPRadioLinkSetupRequest
messages.
3. Ensure that Perform position estimation for Abnormal Released Calls/All Calls is enabled at
ImportEricssonGPEH/UETR/CTRlogwizard.
