Model Propagasi di Atoll

Atoll integrates many propagation models including OkurumaHata, Cost-Hata, SPM (Standard Propagation Model), ITU370,
ITU526, ITU 529, Longley-Rice, Erceg-Greenstein (SUI),
Sakagami Extended (3.5 GHz) and WLL models.

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.

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

Atoll allows users setting parameters related to MIMO according to their
requirement to simulate MIMO technology.

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.

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.

Neighboring Cell Planning

LTE Network require hard handover, so the Neighboring cell Planning is very important
LTE Neighboring cell planning content : Intra-Freq Neighboring cell, Inter-freq neighboring cell, Inter-RAT
neighboring Cell
LTE neighboring cell Planning principle :
Geographically adjacent cell are used as neighboring cell
In common scenario, bidirectional neighboring relationship is configured
The distance between eNB is small (0.3 1km ) in urban areas, and therefore a large number of
neighboring cell are recommended
If the adjacent cell of a cell in front of a lake, sea, or a wide road is also in front of the lake, sea or a
wide road, the adjacent cell is configured as its neighboring cell.
LOGO
The method of LTE neighbor cell planning is similar to neighbor planning of GSM/WCDMA/CDMA. Currently,
the planning method and tool for LTE are available.
The configuration is different from GSM/WCDMA/CDMA . There is no BSC/RNC in the LTE system. When an
eNB cell is configured as neighbor cells of other eNBs, external cells must be added first, which is similar to
the scenario where inter-BSC/RNC neighbor cells are configured on the BSC. That is, neighbor cells can be
configured only after the corresponding cell information is added.
