Physical Data Recovery
 Physical Data Recovery Use Cases

OUTDATED DATA IN PLANNING TOOL

In many occasions, the actual physical information of newly introduced sectors are
either not updated in the planning tool or not filled in altogether, as a result the
information is unavailable for the entire organization

WRONG PHYSICAL INFORMATION

As a result of rehoming or swap projects, sectors are repositioned in different
addresses. Occasionally, this information is not updated in the tool or may be entered
incorrectly (e.g., longitude and latitude data are switched over). The information then
becomes deceiving for the entire organization

INCOMPLETE SITE SURVEY

As a result sector's physical location is either left unfilled or updated with wrong data
information. Communication issues between the cellular site contractors and the
planning department engineers at times creates inconsistency and data integrity
challenges

Recovery Methods
The following methods are executed during the recovery process:

1. Co-Sector, Co-Site Positioning (1st order)

2. Gravity Center of Neighbors' Positioning (2nd order)

3. Gravity Center of Potential Neighbors' Positioning (3rd order)

4. RNC/BSC Central Positioning (4th order)

23 Proprietary & Confidential

Co-Sector, Co-Site Positioning
To position the sector the following steps are performed:

1. All member sectors sharing the same BTS/NodeB/eNodeB of the sector in subject
are grouped together forming a cell site network cluster

2. Members without physical data information are filtered out from the group

3. For sector without Longitude and Latitude, PDR performs co-sector identification,
on other frequencies, and copy over the physical data information from the other
sectors pointing to the same direction (same Azimuth)

4. For sector without Azimuth, PDR performs co-site identification, on the same
frequency, and copy over the physical data information from the other sectors
(same longitude same latitude)

24 Proprietary & Confidential

Gravity Center of Neighbors' Positioning
To position the sector the following steps are performed:

1. All incoming and outgoing neighbors of a sectors are

grouped together forming a neighboring cluster

2. Members without physical data information are filtered out

from the group

3. PDR performs gravity center algorithm , on other The method uses "Center
frequencies, and copy over the physical data information Of Mass" methodology to
from the other sectors pointing to the same direction (same balance the distribution of
Azimuth) sectors around the center of
a network polygon
4. PDR performs gravity center algorithm considering the
existing neighbors' location position information and real-
time RF measurements of the sector

25 Proprietary & Confidential

Gravity Center of Neighbors' Positioning
• Points marked in Blue are physical information imported from
operators' planning tool

• Stars marked in Red are estimated physical location through

Gravity Center recovery method

• Dashed dot lines marked in Green represents connection

between actual and recovered data

26 Proprietary & Confidential

RNC/BSC Central Positioning
To position the sector the following steps are
performed:

1. All member sectors sharing the same RNC/BSC

of the sector in subject, are grouped together
forming an RNC/BSC network cluster

2. Members without physical data information

are filtered out from the group

3. PDR performs gravity center algorithm

considering all grouped sector members
