Different types of subscribers using different

services and equipment require different subscriber

dialog box.

35/91

SubscribersUnderstanding Input Load

The input load is amount traffic contributed by one subscriber

from using a given service

The type of service and usage pattern determines input load

per subscriber The input load and traffic map together determine the

number of active subscribers in each Monte Carlo simulation

run

Input load is quantified by Erlang per subscriber andThroughput per subscriber

For packet data call, input load may be determined according to its call profile

35


36/91

SubscribersUnderstanding Activity Factors

A packet data call consists a number of packet transmissions. The

two consecutive packets are separated by the packet inter-arrival

time. Therefore, transmission of data packets is not continuous.

From the RF point view, the radio channel is active during packet

transmission, and, inactive during the packet inter-arrival time,

when no packet is transmitted (although from network point of

view, the user is still in active state until a timeout period is

reached).

The activity factor is defined as the percentage of time when radiochannel transmits on downlink/uplink.

DL and UL activity factors are used in sector throughput and

interference calculation

36


37/91

SubscribersDefining DL/UL Activity Factor

For a circuit switched voice service, the activity factor is typically

40% to 50%

For packet switched data service, the activity factor varies with

applications and radio bearers used to support the service

The DL/UL activity factors in the Planet service settings should be

defined according to the lowest DL/UL bearer service data rates

that are allowed for the service.

The Planet analysis algorithm automatically scales activity factor

when the served by a higher data rate bearer. The asymmetry nature of the packet data service can be modeled

by specifying different DL and UL activity factors

37


38/91

SubscribersUnderstanding Usage Weightings

Subscribers in different environment may experience different radio signal fading and losses

Mentum Planet defines four environment types that can be assigned individually to each

clutter class

The usage weightings determine the traffic distribution in different environment types

Changing the analysis areaChoosing your area of interest

Statistics will be calculated only within the region chosen in the Analysis Areadrop-down menu.

New areas can be created by using the Areas function under the Project Datacategory in Project Explorer.

62


63/91

Ignoring invalid binsExcluding null values

Depending on the type of statistics that want to be generated, it maybe interesting not to include points where the layer being analyzed hasno values populated.

In that case, the Exclude null values checkbox can be checked.

63

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.

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.
