Network Overlay Tool

• Simplifies the creation of an LTE overlay on an existing 2G or 3G network

• Supports initial creation on ongoing updates of the overlay from the underlying 2G/3G network

• Supports all technologies including CDMA/EV-DO, GSM, WCDMA/HSPA, WiMAX, and LTE

2G/3G network

LTE network

7

Traffic Map Management

• Provides detailed modeling of how and where subscribers utilize the network – A critical input for accurate

network performance modeling

• Traffic map generation distributes measured or modeled traffic

• Support for multiple traffic maps for various traffic scenarios & services

• Detailed subscriber modeling– Defines how subscribers

access the network (services, priorities, user equipments)

Detailed traffic map & Monte-Carlo simulations

Traffic MapsCreating from Network Data

Instant Graphical Statistics based on imported network data:

“Top Ten Drop Call Sectors Bar Graph” and ”Top 30 Sectors Carried Traffic Line graph”

Any two columns can be defined for running statistics in Bar, Line or Point formats

11

Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data

• Using Network Data allows us to import and create traffic data based on Switch or Network Statistics for use in Mentum Planet

12


• Using Network Data as traffic data input and apply clutter weight for the traffic map generation.

13


• Use pre-bound network data and traffic spreading algorithm.

14


• Based on Sector Service Probabilities algorithm:

15


• Apply the clutter weighting to the traffic map

16


• Traffic Map with Clutter Weighting

17

Traffic MapsSocial Media and Geolocalization

18

• Ability to leverage social media information in traffic map generation

• Ability to leverage geolocated measurements in traffic map generation• Geolocated by Mentum

Planet geolocation engine

• Or geolocated by 3rd-party geolocation engine

• Very accurate traffic map generation process

Example of a Traffic Map from Twitter Feeds, in Washington DC

Changing the analysis areaCreating a custom area

Make your Cosmetic layer editable, so that your drawing toolbar becomes available

20


Use any of the polygon tools to draw a specific shape on your map window, then use the Select tool and click on it

21


This process will create a GRC file with a value of “Downtown” inside the selected polygon and NULL elsewhere.

22

Network AnalysesDefining a Workflow

1• Configure the Mentum Planet project including site configurations, antennas, and propagation models.

2• Optionally, generate predictions.

3• Generate the network analysis.

4• Analyze results.

Layer StatisticsGenerating

31

Changing the analysis areaChoosing your area of interest

Statistics will be calculated only within the region chosen in the Analysis Area drop-down menu.New areas can be created by using the Areas function under the Project Data category in Project Explorer.

32

Ignoring invalid binsExcluding null values

Depending on the type of statistics that want to be generated, it may be interesting not to include points where the layer being analyzed has no values populated.In that case, the Exclude null values checkbox can be checked.

33

Applying filters to ignore unwanted binsSelecting a grid to filter

The grid you query can be an existing analysis layer or a any other grid you have created/generated before. Remember you can use the Areas function in Mentum Planet to create grids based on existing polygons.

34

Applying filters to ignore unwanted binsSelecting a grid to filter

Enable the Apply area filter checkbox and browse for the grid (numeric or classified) on which you will be applying the filter.

35

Applying filters to ignore unwanted binsOperators

Operator Meaning

v Reserved character to stand for "value"

== Equal

!= Not equal

> Greater than

>= Greater than or equal to

< Less than

<= Less than or equal to

&& And

|| Or

36

Applying filters to ignore unwanted binsSelecting a grid to query

The output file will exclude results for any bins where the value of the grid is “Buildings”, so that your stats reflect outdoor points only.

37

Viewing the statsSorting and exporting

In the Report Preview, results will be shown in absolute (km²) and relative (%) numbers, and can be sorted in ascending or descending order.This report can be exported to Excel or CSV format.

38

Creating graphsPDF/CDF

Highlight one of the columns in the report and click the Generate Statistics button to create a PDF or CDF of the results in that column.

39

Creating graphsX vs. Y

You can also select multiple columns in the Report Previewer and click on the Show Graph button to display a graph that will compare the multiple columns chosen. When choosing the best server, it can be used to see the ranking of all sectors on a particular metric.

40

Visualizing your resultsCreating Sector Display Schemes and Labels

By using the Sector Display Scheme button , you can color-code each sector based on its stats.There is also a Label button to help you display the per-sector values on the map.

41

Frequency PlanningDefining a Workflow

1• Check frequency-related settings

2• Generate Interference Matrices

3• Optionally, generate Neighbor Plans

4• Automatically allocate channels using the AFP module

5• Optionally, automatically allocate BSIC using the Color Code Planning module

6• Optionally, modify Frequency Plan using the IFP module
