D e tai ls abou t th e RF Plannin g tool


I have the RF Planning tool of Forks Atoll having version 2.8 & 3.1, but currently using Atoll 2.8 version for RF Planning. Atoll supports all technologies (GSM, CDMA, WiMAX, LTE). Flexible to work in all frequency bands. Huawei is using the same tool by the name of Unet, Majorly all WiMAX & LTE network operators and vendors using Atoll because its user friendly and flexible than compare to other specially in W iMAX. Atoll Overview (www.forsk.com) Atoll is an open, scalable, and flexible multi -technology network design and optimization platform that supports wireless operators throughout the network lifecycle, from initial design to densification and optimization. Atoll supports the following technologies: GSM/GPRS/EDGE UMTS/HSPA CDMA2000 1xRTT/EV-DO LTE TD-SCDMA WiMAX/BWA Microwave links

Atoll supports a wide range of implementation scenarios, from standalone to enterprise -wide server-based configurations using distributed and multi-threaded computing. Atoll is available and supported worldwide through a network of selected distributors who can provide local technical and commercial support.

Atoll Highlights
Advanced Network Design Features Atoll includes advanced multi-technology network planning features (e.g. GSM/UMTS/LTE, CDMA2000/LTE), and a combined single -RAN Multi-RAT GSM/UMTS/LTE Monte-Carlo simulator and traffic model. Atoll supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSPA, LTE, CDMA2000 1xRTT/EV-DO, TD-SCDMA, W iMAX, and Microwave link networks. It also includes a high performance propagation calculation engine,

and

state-of-the-art

network

features.

Integrated Optimization Tools Atoll includes a set of fully integrated AFP (Automatic Frequency Planning) and ACP (Automatic Cell Planning) tools, allowing operators to perform design and optimization tasks seamlessly within Atoll using a single database and IT infrastructure.

Open and Flexible Architecture Atoll supports multi-user environments through a database architecture that provides user rights management, data sharing, data integrity management, and easy integration with other IT systems. Atoll enables task automation through a standard macro language, and includes an advanced C++ Software Development Kit (SDK) that facilitates customization and IT integration. Atoll also has the largest range of compatible third -party products on the market. State-of-the-art GIS Features Atoll supports multi-format/multi-resolution geographical data. High-resolution urban and countrywide datasets are supported and displayed interactively as multiple layers including engineering and prediction plots. Atoll also features an integrated vector/raster cartography editor and integrates with leading GIS tools such as MapInfo and ArcView.

Distributed Computing and Multi-Threading Atoll allows distributing calculations over several computers and supports parallel computing on multi - core/processor servers, thus dramatically reducing calculation times and getting the most out of the hardware.

D e tai ls abou t th e d ri ve tes tin g tools

XCAL Series
The Worlds Leading Drive Test Tool
http://www.accuver.com/1-accuver_wireless_mobile_technologies.html Used extensively on many of the worlds largest networks, the XCAL series of drive test and post -processing tools is both intuitive and flexible. It enables you to troubleshoot, monitor, maintain and optimize wireless voice and data network performance - all in realtime. Use XCAL to Perform drive tests for service verification and gauge success of network upgrades Benchmark network performance Carry out QoS, QoE measurements Carry out end-to-end call testing (Voice, FTP, HTTP, video etc.) Minimize OPEX by automating many labor-intensive workflows Intelligently manage massive volumes of drive test data, maps and performance counters Conduct indoor and outdoor network performan ce analyses Optimize handover performances Carry out multiple data sessions on each test terminal. Benefits Technology independent: GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, CDMA2000, EVDO Rev.0, Rev.A, Rev.B, TD -SCDMA, DVB-H, W iMAX, and LTE 4G (FDD & TDD) Huge return on investment, because many technologies can be measured on the same simple platform (eg. GSM, GPRS, WCDMA, W iMAX and LTE technology etc.) Single platform for QoS, QoE and benchmarking Intuitive - very simple to use with minimal/no training invo lved Highly customizable, stable and robust

XCAP Series
Powerful Analysis & Reporting
XCAP is a powerful and highly configurable analysis platform that allows you to mine, analyze and report data gathered in XCAL. Available as both a stand-alone platform and an enterprise -grade client-server solution, it supports all wireless standards and major third party data formats. XCAP minimizes OPEX by automating the whole network post processing and troubleshooting workflow. Because its designed by engineers for engineers, it comes loaded with a comprehensive list of standard-specific KPIs, is easy to use, configure and maintain. Use XCAP to Quickly troubleshoot and conduct root -cause analysis of wireless networks - including massive volumes of drive test data Provide detailed reports on service -specific and overall network performance Benchmark radio and application level metrics Build and present KPI reports across the enterprise Analyze trends and perform complex statistical analysis Visualize service and network-level performance geospatially. Benefits Scalable, stable platform - either stand-alone or client-server configuration Robust data management system for managing and mi ning massive volumes of data quickly and easily Technology independent and first to market for new technologies Supports every major new wireless technology: GSM, GPRS, EDGE, W CDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, CDMA2000, EVDO Rev.0, Rev.A, Rev.B, TD-SCDMA, DVB-H, W iMAX and LTE Minimizes OPEX through process automation

Tool which I have XCAL & XCAP both are working for WiMAX for Pre & Post optimization. Here I am using in 2.3GHz but it will work on all frequencies I am using GCT Chip set dongles for Drive Test because I have the license of GCT Chipset, Now the software has no restriction of time line and functions, because I disable the license authentication. Yes we can Install and give to client but I dont have the license to provide to client as new product.

Note: I have another Drive Test Pre & Post Processing tool which used by Huawei for W iMAX DT (Genex Probe) but that tool license works in back dates as Xcal have more features and flexibility.

D e tai ls of Geo gra ph ic Ma ps


I have the GEO maps of Iraq, Oman in 20 Meter Resolutions , I will try to find out from my sources other wise we have to purchase For the RF Planning, We need three layers of GEO Map of area where we need to implement the network? Vector Layer Height Clutter

I n v o l v e m e n t i n P h y s i c a l I n t e g r a t i o n of RAN equipment (starting from Shelters, power sources, Baseband, RF and Antennas) with the Core (AGW, CGW, AAA, Provisioning servers, NMS,)
Yes in my previous jobs& current job those sites, which we relocate due to no customers in those areas, and adding new sites in new areas, I involve from site acquisition to site integration and live on air, which include integration with ASN, NMS, and AAA. Currently in Iraq integrate a new AAA & Billing system Integrate the TR-069/OMA-DM for CPE Management

S e rvic es D eli ve ry Pla tfo rm


Automatic Services Provisioning Most common Service Delivery Platform through BSS/ OSS with automatic provision of system in plug n play fashion. Following are the points involve in SDP Based on the coverage system will identify which CPE and Package suitable for customer (i.e. Selection of CPEs USB, Indoor & Outdoor and Bandwidth) Based on coverage and stats Customers Support identify the problem and troubleshoot

Manual Service Provisioning Define the process to provision services and cpe based on the coverage in all components of network Define the process for the trouble shooting and RCA

W iMAX Ne two rks KPIs


Following are the KPIs follow in WiMAX Network Performance & Management, These KPIs will based on the counters and stats available in the OSS system of the W iMAX vendor. Different W iMAX vendors have different formats of reporting based on that formulate the KPI Dashboard. KPIs Target by Regulator TRA KPIs Targets by customers as per contract KPIs Targets for pro active optimization of end to end Network

Note: Attached the KPIs of Current Iraq Network & some KPIs of Oman Network
