This means that if MIMO isused, this will impact transmitted powers, indirectly affecting network analyses andMonte Carlo simulations.

n Downlink C/(N+I): in Mentum Planet 5.2, the Downlink C/(N+I) layer werecomputed for symbols on which there were reference signal resource elements. In


Mentum Planet 5.2.1, the Downlink C/(N+I) layer is the average C/(N+I) over all thesymbols of an LTE frame. This means that the Downlink C/(N+I) layer will beimpacted.

n Antenna horizontal and vertical beamwidth are now shown in the Tabular Editor and inan export file. These read-only fields appear on the Sector Antennas tab.

n You can now easily apply flag and group settings for one sector to all other sectors ona site. This can be done from the Sector>General tab in the Site Editor.

n Terrain height is now displayed in the Site Editor. This field is read-only.

n The size of the Point-to-Point Profile tool window is now saved. When you open thetool, the window size is the same as it was when the tool was last used.

n The Planet Open API now supports the generation of traffic maps.

n The width of flag conditions displayed in the Site Editor has been expanded. You cannow view up to 30 characters (the maximum allowable) in the drop-down control.

n Filtered surveys are now assigned to the same sectors as the original sectors.

n The subscribers table generated through LTE Monte Carlo simulation now containsfields for RSRP, RSRQ and CQI.

n The survey filtering function now has options to 'Delete original survey' and 'Unassignoriginal survey'. These options are implemented as check boxes in the SurveyFiltering window.

n You can now clone a sector from within the Site Editor. To do this, right-click on anexisting sector and select 'Clone'. All sector properties are copied to the new sector.

n Planet Universal Model now applies model tuning coefficients to all geographic areas,including areas that fall outside the extents of the elevation file that was active whenthe model was tuned. Previously, tuning coefficients were only applied within theextents of the elevation file that was active when the model was tuned. Defaultcoefficients were used outside that area.

n You can access all user guide PDFs provided for Mentum Planet by choosing the Guidescommand from the Help menu.


n When running propagation model analysis based on sectors, surveys with antennaproperties that are different from the antenna properties on the sector to which theyhave been assigned are discarded. A small margin is allowed with respect to antennaheight and power. The margin for antenna height is 10cm, the margin for antennapower is 0.01 dB. Case 17442

n The Project Explorer is now part of the Mentum Planet application window. It can bedocked and supports an auto-hide feature. When the Project Explorer is docked, youcan no longer click within a node label. Instead, when you want to rename a node,you must type the full name of the object to be renamed.

version 5.2

In version 5.2 of Mentum Planet, the following new features and enhancements have beenincluded:

n Support for UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ with increased performance and scalabilitycompared to previous Mentum Planet releases. HSPA+ support includes MIMO, 64QAM modulation, and DC-HSDPA.

n Beta-level support for GSM.

n Enhanced scrambling code planning, including better algorithms, scrambling codegroup planning, and comprehensive management of scrambling codes.

n Major LTE improvements, including

n Proportional Fair, Proportional Demand, and Maximum Capacity schedulers

n Modulation Coding Schemes C/(N+I) to Spectral Efficiency curves

n Subscriber mobility support in network analyses and Monte Carlo simulations

n Addition of antenna algorithms (up to 8 Tx and Rx antennas)

n Simultaneous diversity and multiplexing

n PBCH Channel support

n The addition of two new layers displaying the maximum spectral efficiency that canbe reached, on the uplink and the downlink

n Previously, in the Site Editor, the average power per reference signal resourceelement, as well as reference signal strength, were based on the assumption that thePA power defined was for a single antenna port. In Mentum Planet 5.2.1, if a MIMOantenna algorithm is assigned, the average power per reference signal resourceelement, as well as reference signal strength, are based on the assumptions that: 1)the PA power defined is the combined PA power of all the antennas and 2) if usingMIMO the number of Tx antennas defined in the antenna assigned to the sector isused. This change affects the Reference Signal Strength, the RSRP and the referenceC/(N+I) analysis layer. Depending on the settings that you defined, some otheranalysis layers may be directly impacted (e.g. DL CINR, if you used reference signal


frequency hopping) and some may be indirectly impacted if based on reference C/(N+I). The change will also affect Monte Carlo simulation results.

n Enhanced WiMAX support, including

n Proportional Fair, Proportional Demand, and Maximum Capacity schedulers

n Interactive frequency and preamble planning

n Per-sector or per-channel preamble

n Modulation Coding Schemes C/(N+I) to Spectral Efficiency curves

n Numerous improvements to automatic frequency and preamble planning and toexisting WiMAX features

n Support for user-defined TDMA/FDMA technologies, including

n Custom-defined TDMA/FDMA technologies

n Simulcast (P25, TETRAPOLE, and TDMA/FDMA technologies)

n Land Mobile Radio / Private Mobile Radio networks

n Advanced automatic site placement (ASP), allowing for smart placement of new sitesusing network dimensioning based on traffic and propagation characteristics.

n Improvements to the measurement data package (MDP) to support the import ofAgilent AOD files and the propagation model accuracy analysis tool.

n Integration of MapInfo Professional 10.0 into Mentum Planet, introducing new featuresin Layer Control and layer management, as well as new menus and toolbars.

n Introduction of a new version of the Universal Model (version 380). This new versionincludes:

n support of Mentum Planet 5.2

n minor improvements and corrections

n CPE coordinate units now respect the units specified in the Preferences window. Cases11035, 12988, 15136

n The Planet Open API now supports Monte Carlo simulation. Case 15498

n The Link Configuration Editor can now be accessed from the Site Editor. Case 14364

n Signal strength files are no longer kept permanently unless you specify them as anadditional layer in the project settings. This change is meant to improve performanceand reduce hard disk space requirements. As a consequence of this change, beginningwith Mentum Planet version 5.2.0, signal strength files can no longer be shared. Case12287
