Work flow
Project setup
Map, preference (e.g., unit, display) and project setting Network setting (spectrum, mod CINR, frame setup) Create site table (e.g., ASP, Capesso, network overlay)

Since model is map dependent, so need to select proper map to run prediction for different models
Subfolder names under Geodata must be matched Map should be in UTM zone xxx and site/sector/DT should be in long/lat
For subband (e.g., with carriers gap), need to define separate band, since each sector can ssign ONLY one band grey out means some sectors are using defined band. If need to modify existing band, need to first switch all sectors using this band to a dummy band first.
Option 2 define spectral efficiency curve for each MCS. If used, new layers can be generated (e.g., UL/DL max/avg spectral eff) and affect max UL/DL data rate layers, best available DL/UL mod and UL noise rise (select max spectral eff)
carrier BW will define FFT size, sampling freq # occupied DL/UL subcarriers (excl DC/guard) # total RB/slot # RB for sounding ref signal Throughput (including L1 overhead) = #occupied subcarrier x #symbol/slot x #slot/frame x fps x
bit/RE
e.g., 10MHz carrier with spectral eff=5bits/RE has 601x7x20x100x5 = 42Mbps Throughput (excluding RS symbol) = #data symbol/RB x #slot/frame x fps x #RB/slot x #bit/symbol e.g., 10MHz carrier with 4 RS symbol and 64QAM/no FER has 80 x 20 x 100 x 50 x 6 = 48Mbps
7
DL overhead % = total overhead / DL frame duration Where Total overhead = CP + PDCCH + PBCH + ref signal Note that #RE allocated for PBCH and ref signal is dependent on # of tx antenna.
Define basic (fit hexagon) or advanced (can use candidate site list, traffic map, coverage/model criteria) Define clutter exclusion, antenna height range, max pathloss, site radius Define polygon/area
10
Sites generated from advanced ASP (meet criteria for coverage then traffic, use customized site template for different clutter and with antenna height adjusted)
Sites generated from basic ASP (fit # polygon of defined radius for 1 site template for all clutter and with clutter exclusion)
11
Create site candidate lists in planet first, run prediction. Then export to capesso and let capesso pick # site according to user defined criterion (coverage/capacity)
12
pick data source for other technology (e.g., group of GSM sites from same project) select LTE FDD band used for newly created co-located LTE FDD sites (with same antenna ht/azimuth, # of sector etc) save new LTE FDD site tabe and/or add suffix to sector ID [optional]
13
Site set is storage of full/partial set of different version (e.g., site set before and after optimization) Query offer flexible sector group accordingly to user defined criteria
14
Each sector assign one band with its flag/group Max pooled throughput of site (blocked sub in MC runs)
15
Each sector assign antenna algorithm prediction model/distance/# of radial one or multiple antenna with specified link budget and feeder length Tx/Rx filter mask (at eNodeB)
16
Set threshold for blocked sub in MC run (coverage, #sub, UL noise rise)
MIMO (open-loop) or spatial MUX increasing throughput relative to SISO with option for UL collaborative MIMO and LOS exclusion [MIMO improve throughout, not necessary coverage]
Automatic MIMO switch switch to diversity (low CINR) or MIMO (high CINR) or MIMO+diversity (high CINR with spare antenna for diversity)
17
Ref signal power = PA power x (% of ref signal within 1 RB) Where % depends on #subcarrier for ref signal and data E.g., 10MHz carrier has #ref signal subcarrier/RB=2, #total subcarrier/RB=12 ref signal Tx power = 34.55dBm with 3dB boost
Avg power per RE for xxx signal (used to calculate different RSRP, DL CINR)
Affect UL CINR
18
RSRQ (ref signal received quality) used to define inner/outer cell boundary Outer cell % = RE% used in outer cell e.g., 100% means no ICIC e.g., <100% means PoC is used for co-channel interference
19
(e.g., Threshold to trigger A3 measurement). HO layer will show a HO if (sector reference signal strength <= best serving sector A3 HO threshold) HO status max HO candidates HO candidates for priority [1..N]
20
21
QoS class priority (e.g., 1 min=max data rate, 9 means min=0.1kbps (BE))
22
Clutter-dependent DL orthogonality %
23
24
Each network analysis has one band equipment environment cell edge probability % KPI, used in Jakess curve from slow fading margin (for MC, different % for different service) speed # UL RB/sub
assume each map pixel has 1 sub affect UL CINR (less RB/sub, UE concentrate its power on less RB, extend coverage but reduced data rate) depends on scheduler from MC model as fixed value in network analysis
25
ICIC uses to reduce reused RB in outer cell (i.e., improve cell edge coverage prob %) Basic = remove % interference based on DL loading % at best serving sector (i.e., without interaction between eNodeB) Advanced = sort interfering sector according to received power and rank sectors to prioritize interference removed by scheduler (i.e., most interfering sector will use noninterfering RB the most, with interaction between eNodeB) See separate ICIC ppt for details
26
No DL power control UL power control FULL = decrease Tx of UE/CPE just enough to achieve the required CINR of given MCS fractional = further decrease Tx of UE/CPE by pathloss weighted by alpha = this prevent UE/CPE with large pathloss (i.e., along inter-cell boundary) to transmit excessive power and interfere with all neighbor cells 3GPP equation for fractional UL power control
27
PoC % of reusing the same RB as a function of DL loading %. This PoC curve is used to calculate cochannel interference
28
Option 2 import interference grid file (.grd) with specified center freq/BW E.g., CDMA1xRTT overlay DL interference import best server pilot Ec (since always Tx) UL interference UE EIRP

33
Max RSRQ = -3dB UE/CPE measure RSRP and RSRQ Compare to WCDMA RSRP CPICH RSCP for coverage KPI RSRQ CPICH Ec/No for interference KPI Cell selection procedure [idle mode] RSRP is used HO procedure can be RSRP, RSRQ or both
34
Compute mean/min/max/median/std dev/RMS of all bins within best serving coverage area of sector xx Note, mean grid is NOT avg sector thoughput, since mean is avg is ALL DL data rate bin, assuming there is 1 sub per bin (e.g., problem for overshoot area with no sub)
37
38
Sort (ascending/descending) (e.g., find top 10 sectors with highest coverage prob %) filter by specified range generate statistics CDF/PDF generate labels generate sector display scheme (e.g., different sector color to rep. specified data rate range)
Antenna config
Multiple antenna affects DL CINR, which determine highest MCS, max data rate and spectral efficiency E-tilt/azimuth/height/type improve DL CINR for sub close to eNodeB
ICIC
Affect DL CINR and data rate, especially at outer cell Affect cell edge coverage probability, especially for high MCS Static ICIC using 1:3 reuse Dynamic ICIC based on channel/traffic conditions (e.g., RSRQ, FFR %, outer cell RE %)
Scheduler
Assign RB according to predefined rules [see MC slides later]
39
40
NOTE: use MC for indication to capacity/dimensioning and network stability (i.e., when network becomes saturated and start to block sub)
41
42
Combine vector primary to original clutter as new clutter map primary_clutter, and a new clutter class highways is added
43
44
proportional demand
RB given to low data rate sub max capacity RB given to high data rate sub proportional fair RB given to sub with better CINR user defined RB given to sub with user defined weight
45
MC (4) setting
Choose one or more sub type in 1 freq band
Steps of MC
spread sub randomly and independently per run sort sub by priority (sub type, service, QoS) analyze DL and UL, check if sub is served generating operating point and sub info (e.g., status and spreading)
Choose scheduler
