1 GENERAL STRUCTURE
The first row of the file contains the keywords that define the order of the parameters in the followinglines. Keywords are separated with semicolon or tabulator character.
Other rows in the file contain the cell definitions. Each line describes one cell and contains a set ofparameters describing the cell as well as the site in which the cell resides. For both site and cellinformation, there are both mandatory parameters and optional parameters. Site and cell parametersare separated with semicolon or tabulator character.
The file format supports three data types: integer, float and string. Integer type is defined as a numericvalue without dot character. Float type is defined as a numeric value with dot character. String type isdefined as a set of any printable ASCII characters except semicolon.
2 CREATING BTS FILES
BTS files can be created, for example, with MS Excel. Type in the cell parameters and save the file in
CSV format. Finally, change the file extension to .nbf.
3 PARAMETERS
3.1 MANDATORY CELL PARAMETERS
Parameter Keyword Type Descript ion
System SYSTEM String AMPS, GSM, TDMA, CDMA, UMTS,
TETRA, TD-SCDMA, WIMAX, EVDOor LTE.
Site Name SITE String Name of the site.
Cell Name CELL String Name of the cell.
Latitude LAT Float Latitude of the site in degrees.
Longitude LON Float Longitude of the site in degrees.
Decimal degrees (DD) express latitude and longitude geographic coordinates as decimal fractions andare used in many Geographic Information Systems (GIS), web mapping applications such as GoogleMaps, and GPS devices. Decimal degrees are an alternative to using degrees, minutes, and seconds(DMS). As with latitude and longitude, the values are bounded by 90 and 180 each.

Positive latitudes are north of the equator, negative latitudes are south of the equator. Positivelongitudes are east of Prime Meridian, negative longitudes are west of the Prime Meridian. Latitudeand longitude are usually expressed in that sequence, latitude before longitude.

3.11.3 CELL SEARCH METHOD
Lines are drawn from the current location on a map to the active set and monitored set cells based onthe following algorithm.
Cell Identification (Cell ID) (for serving cell)
Matching Channel number +Physical Layer Cell ID (for both serving and neighbor cells) matched only if distance is less than 50 km (31 miles).
