Import Raster Map
LOGO
Generally the following data maps need to

be imported in Atoll:
heights (map of the altitude above sea
level), clutter classes (type of land used)
and vectors (vector maps).
The import order is optional.

Import Clutter Data

Click File->Import, open the index.txt file for clutter data, select
Clutter Classes, click OK.

Import Sites Table
In Atoll, for each eNodeB a site and transmitters are defined. The site info refers to the physical location of the site, and
transmitter info refers to cell configuration including antenna.
In Sites table, the site name, longitude and latitude are given. The following is a site template in .csv format.
Make sure the column for Altitude is blank. When the file is imported into Atoll, the site altitude info will be updated automatically based on
DTM data.
Keep Altitude column blank

Under Network tab of the Explorer window, double clicking on the Sites folder (or right clicking
on the Sites folder and select Open Table) will open the Sites table, as shown in the following

Add new sites

The steps for importing the network data into Atoll have been introduced above. Atoll also
provides another method to add new sites directly in the Map Window.
Atoll adds the corresponding information into the data sheets
27
LOGO
Add a group of sites

Click on the Atoll toolbar button, then a polygonal symbol will be added behind the cursor. Then
draw a polygon in the Map Window to add a new group of sites inside the selected region.
28
Set the propagation model for each transmitter
LOGO
Open the Transmitters tab and select the propagation model in pull-down menu of the
Main propagation model field
29
LOGO
Atoll integrates many propagation models including

Okuruma-Hata, Cost-Hata, SPM (Standard Propagation
Model), ITU370, ITU526, ITU 529, Longley-Rice, ErcegGreenstein (SUI), Sakagami Extended (3.5 GHz) and WLL
models.
30
LOGO
Contd..
If all transmitters use the same propagation model, then the quickest way is to
define the model in the Transmitters properties dialog box. In the Propagation
tab, select the propagation model.
31
LOGO
Frequency Bands setting
Under Parameters tab, click ->Network Settings-> Bands to open the table for band and channel
definition.
Make sure the required spectrum is defined correctly. If it is not defined, It can be added in the table
manually

LOGO
Cells setting
In Atoll, Cell represents a channel/carrier and its property, so
its possible for user to configure a LTE network with
multicarrier.
In an LTE project, cells must also be added to each
transmitter. A cell refers to the characteristics of an RF
channel on a transmitter.
34
LOGO
Cells Table
To open the Cells table, right click on Transmitters in the Network tab and
select Cells->Open Table, as seen in the following figure.
The cells for a site can be added only after the transmitter info is available in Atoll

MIMO Systems in Atoll LTE

Base stations and user equipment support MIMO systems
Gains graphs available in reception equipment
Numbers of transmission and reception antenna ports at base station and terminal
Antenna diversity modes in Atoll LTE
Multiple Input Multiple Outputs (MIMO) systems
Transmit/Receive Diversity (also called Space-Time Coding (STC) or Matrix A MIMO in other standards)
More than one transmission antenna to send the same data
Improvement of CINR Higher bearer Higher throughput
Usually used in coverage areas with bad CINR conditions
Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) or Spatial Multiplexing (SM) (also called Matrix B MIMO in other standards)
More than one transmission antenna to send different data streams on each antenna
Improvement of throughput for a given CINR
Usually used in coverage areas with good CINR conditions
Adaptive MIMO Switch (AMS)

Technique to switch from SM to Tx/Rx Diversity as CINR conditions get worse than a given threshold
38
LOGO
MIMO Settings
Atoll allows users setting parameters related to MIMO according to their
requirement to simulate MIMO technology.
In Parameters-> Network Settings -> Reception Equipment -> Default Cell
Equipment/Default UE Equipment.

Setting the Computation Zone

If there is no computation zone defined, the pathloss matrices for all transmitters
will be calculated, based on the calculation radius and the signal threshold.
If the user wants to calculate the pathloss matrices only for a specific region, a
Computation Zone can either be imported or directly drawn in the Map Window.

LOGO
Define Zones
To define a Computation zone, click the zone->Draw, an draw the polygon on the maps. It can also be imported.
The defined zone can be deleted, edited, and exported if desired.
