Selecting Coordinate System

U-Net works with the following two coordinate systems at the same time:

Projection (Primary) Coordinate System: It is a coordinate system of geographical database which depends on the imported geographic file. (Usually, projection
system can be found in Projection file in DTM map directory).

Display Coordinate System: it is a coordinate system for display and data-input. All the geographical coordinates are displayed and input according to this system. If the projection coordinate system and the display coordinate system do not match with each other, U-Net will adjust them.

L=K1 + K2log(d) + K3log(HTxeff) + K4Diffraction loss + K5log(d)log(HTxeff) + K6(HRxeff) + Kclutterf(clutter)
K1: Constant offset (dB) K2: Multiplying factor for log(d) d: Distance between the receiver and the transmitter (m) K3: Multiplying factor for log(HTxeff) HTxeff: Effective height of the transmitter antenna (m) K4: Multiplying factor for diffraction calculation. K4 has to be a positive number Diffraction loss: Losses due to diffraction over an obstructed path (dB) K5: Multiplying factor for log(HTxeff)log(d) K6: Multiplying factor for HRxeff HRxeff: Mobile antenna height (m) Kclutter: Multiplying factor for f(clutter). f(clutter): Average of weighted losses due to clutter

Radio Network Data

Transmitters
A transmitter is the source or generator of any signal on a transmission medium. A transmitter is a piece of equipment composed of some antennas located on a site.

Computation Zone
Usually, Computation Zone needs to be drawn before predictions.
Combine:

Delete:
Specially, The computation zone may consist of several polygons. Draw a first polygon or select the existing zone on the map, then select the Combine tool of the Vector Edition bar and draw another polygon. The computation zone may be holed. Draw a polygon or select the existing zone on the map, then select the Delete tool of the Vector Edition bar and delete the part you want to remove from the polygon.

Neighbours Automatic Allocation

Max Number of Neighbors usually 32. Force co-site cells as neighbors: force co-site cells to be taken into account. Force adjacent cells as neighbors: force adjacent cells to be neighbours. Force symmetry: force neighbor symmetry. Force exceptional pairs: force the constraints defined for exceptional pairs.

Reset neighbors: start the automatic allocation from scratch.

Coverage conditions: eg. Signal Level, Ec/Io, coverage probability etc. % min covered area: minimum percentage between the overlapping zone and the studied cell coverage area.
