A cell's evenings of interference

Radio cell counters arrive minute by minute: SNR, received power, users and dropped calls. A condition isolates the evenings when SNR collapses while power rises, Layers aligns them on their start and the heatmap shows the hour it happens.

Illustrative scenario: it describes a typical case, not a customer project.

A cell works all day and collapses every evening. The complaints arrive before the explanation.

Cell counters pile up in millions of rows, and network dashboards show daily averages that hide the problem: a cell that is fine all day and degrades for a couple of hours in the evening, when traffic is highest.

In Muvia the counters arrive every minute and the analysis works on the signals, not on averages. A condition says what counts as interference, Layers shows how each episode unfolds, and annotations record the cause: anomalous propagation, a neighbouring cell switched off for works, a thunderstorm.

Who it's for
Radio optimisation engineers, the network operations centre, network quality managers and whoever answers coverage complaints.
Diagram: cell counters arrive every minute from the network management system over SFTP, the site and cell inventory from an Excel file, the log of network works from SharePoint. Muvia produces the interference analysis with conditions and annotations, the evenings overlaid, the hour-by-day heatmap and a radio network dashboard.

What you get

The problem averages hide
Per-minute analysis shows the evening hours that a daily average flattens.
One shared definition
The interference condition is saved with the analysis: everyone counts the same episodes.
Causes stay on record
Annotations explain every episode, so the next one starts from what is already known.
Before the complaints
The interference window shows in the counters before it becomes a customer complaint.

For the technical team

How it is built in Muvia

  1. 1

    Bring the counters into a project

    The network management system's per-minute exports arrive over SFTP and are appended incrementally. Every source becomes a table and a query.

  2. 2

    Define interference

    In Analysis a condition says what counts: SNR below 6 dB with more than 70 users, for at least 10 minutes. Each episode is coloured on the SNR, power, users and drops panels.

  3. 3

    Overlay the evenings

    The Layers view aligns each episode on its start: you see how dropped calls respond to the SNR collapse. The distribution compares drops with and without interference.

  4. 4

    Find the hour and note the cause

    The hour-by-day heatmap shows the window; annotations record anomalous propagation, works and weather. A network dashboard takes the figures to whoever decides.

The data it needs
  • Cell counters every minute: SNR, received power, throughput, active users, dropped calls, radio resources in use
  • The site and cell inventory, with sector, azimuth and tilt, from an Excel file
  • The log of planned works on the network
  • The team's notes on weather and propagation, as annotations
