Permissions Matrix - Types

The Permissions Matrix is a table of values.
Serving cell is listed in each row
Interfering cell is listed in each column
Each value in the table represents how much interference the

Serving cell would experience IF the Interfering cell were cochannel.
Each value assumes:
The serving cell is bound by equal power boundaries
The interfering cell is bound by its prediction boundaries (i.e. Calc.
Dist.)
The C/Is in the serving area will form a Gaussian distribution (i.e.
curve is defined by a mean value and std. dev.)
This may not be the case in some instances

Permissions Matrix Types
The C/I Matrix

Starts with a Tx pair
Calculates the C/I for each
bin over the service area
Counts the # of bins that
have a C/I of X to build a
histogram
Repeat for all Tx Pairs

The C/I Matrix
The Histogram is evaluated for a single Tx pair
The C/I value is entered into the matrix that represents the
Nth percentile
One Value Represents the histogram!
C/I Value entered

into Permat

The Area Matrix
Start with predicted C/I over
coverage area
C/I is used to scale the area that is
interfered
Probability of Interference
represents % of area interfered
Uses the Cochanf.dat (found in

Common folder) to scale the area
Example:
C/I of 13 dB represents a 55%
probability of interference (i.e. 55% of
C/I Value Permat
the area in that bin is interfered)
For one 90m bin, that is:
(90x90) * 0.55 = 4.455 km2 Interfered
Graph of COCHANF.DAT
9

The Area Matrix
The km2 of interfered area are binned per C/I to form histogram
The value in the matrix is a sum of all interfered area (units of km2)
Moves Interference away from rural sites
Works best when all sites coverage areas are roughly the same
km2 of Interference at a given C/I
10

The Traffic Matrix
Start with predicted C/I over
coverage area
Read amount of traffic in a bin from
a demand grid
Probability of Interference
represents % of traffic interfered
Uses the Cochanf.dat (found in

Common folder) to scale the traffic
Example:
C/I of 13 dB represents a 55%
probability of interference (i.e. 55% of
C/I Value Permat
the traffic in that bin is interfered)
For one bin with 33 mErl, that is:
33 mErl * 0.55 = 18.15 mErl Interfered
Graph of COCHANF.DAT
11

The Traffic Matrix
The mErl of interfered traffic are binned per C/I to form histogram
The value in the matrix is a sum of all interfered traffic (units of mErl)
Traffic grid can be weighted by clutter types (i.e. dont put traffic in water)
Moves Interference away from high traffic sites
Of all options, this one works best as input to AFP
mErl of Interference at a given C/I

General
Output Name: name the new permat or

over-write one that already exists
Reference Grid: no longer used; x-Wizard

will generate multi-resolution permat based
on terrain assigned to cell
Transmitters to Include: Normally just use

your target technology
note that you can only create a C/I matrix if
you select more than one technology (traffic
or area matrices are not allowed)
15

Determining Service Area
Server Calculation Method: determines

the most likely server based on choice
Strongest Server: most likely server is the
transmitter with the strongest Received
Signal Level (RSL).
HCS and Forward Link RSL: Most likely
server is the transmitter with the strongest
RSL equaling or exceeding the sufficient
signal strength and highest HCS level. The
HCS level has priority, so the most likely
server may not be the strongest server.
16

Determining Service Area (cont.)
Exterior sectors: A sector that points to

unserved area; no other network sites to
create equal power boundaries and limit the
coverage area
Interior
Site
Min. Serving Signal: Sets the minimum

Received Signal Level (RSL) required for a
sector to serve a bin
Max Service Area Radius: Sets the
maximum distance an exterior site can serve
Limits the service area by preventing the
site from serving an area beyond this
radius even if RSL meets Min.

18

Modeling Traffic Distributions
In reality, two people standing next to each other
can be served by two different servers
Calls originating in different sectors can be
dragged into the same bin
Calls can be served by different sites based on
traffic congestion
i.e. one server is NOT serving all traffic in a bin
We want to capture this when distributing traffic

for Permat
Traffic in a bin will be split amongst the N different
servers
19

Spreading Traffic
1.
MAX Servers: maximum number of

servers in a bin
This field limits the number of sectors

that can serve a bin for the purpose of
spreading traffic
*Important Point:
The Voice Traffic field

in the Tx dialog MUST be populated
(or you will have to select an override
value)
20

Spreading Traffic (cont)
2.
Determine % of traffic served by each

Sector in a bin
SERVERWEIGHT.DAT Traffic
distribution based on RSL delta
between the strongest server & the Nth
server (used if no HCS present)
SERVERSCALE.DAT Traffic
distribution based on delta between
serving HCS and Nth servers HCS
These tables distribute traffic amongst the

different sectors serving the bin.
Only the Nth strongest signals are considered
based on the user setting Max. Servers

Weight field
Puts more users on roads rather than
open fields in rural areas, for example
Allows the AFP to push interference
into open areas and water, for
example

Permissions Matrix Inputs (Other)
COCHANF.DAT Probability of Interference at various C/I
levels
Used to scale the Area interfered and Traffic interfered matrices
IncludeThermal Noise: Routine will calculate C/I+N, rather

than just C/I (Generally NOT Recommended)
Enter an appropriate value for the Noise Figure in (dB).
Can be dangerous with Exterior sectors since Noise
Figure can be dominant source of interference
Set Min. Serv. Signal at Exterior sectors to high value (-85dB) to
compensate
23
Permissions Matrix Multi-Resolution
Multiple terrain and clutter

resolution in the SAME analysis
Better suited for Transition
Areas between Morphologies
24
Permissions Matrix Multi-Resolution

Multi-Resolution Analysis Calculations
Area by Area Analysis
Areas are then studied to
get final result
Takes advantage of high
resolution over a small
area while still calculating
all sites.
Much faster than system
wide high resolution

alpha sector, channel #183 would
cause unacceptable co-channel
interference to beta sector of the

Manually Manipulating Permat
Load, manually create or edit

permission matrices
Alternations of permat usually
based on empirical data or
market knowledge rather than
prediction model
Override matrix is the

preferred method
Preserves the original
matrix
User can manually enter
C/I where needed to
prevent reuse
47
Channel Plan Evaluation

Radio Interference
Preferred for project level

TX level interference if
two TXs share a radio it
will be considered
interference over the TX
coverage area
Tends to be conservative
often shows more
interference that exits
MUCH faster than radio
level
Channel plan or on the fly
Best for small studies

Each radio of the TX is
compared to each radio of
other TXs
More realistic Interference
N x N calculations where
N=# of Radios for each TX
The more sites/radios the
longer the runtime
Channel Plan Only
GSM Interference is
already a radio level
48
Evaluation of Channel Plan

1. Determine servers by
calculation method
2. Determine C/I for TX to TX
based on Parameters
3. Display by Show menu
- Study channel plan or click
on the interfering sites with
the mouse by choosing
Select in Interferers
section
49
Evaluation of Channel Plan

Radio Level Interference
(iDEN Only)
1. Determines C/I for each
individual radio (server
calc method)
2. Then looks at the C/I value
for each radio in each bin
and based on the value,
determines the best and
worst radios
3. Then puts the C/I results
in three separate screen
grids, best, worst, and
average case (show)
