5. Create a "Service Area (Eb/Nt) Downlink" prediction study for all transmitters with the following parameters on the Condition tab: Terminal = Mobile. Service = Voice. Mobility = 50 km/h. Carrier = 0. On the General tab, name the study: "Service Area (Eb/Nt) Downlink (Voice)". On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. Information: With the "Service Area (Eb/Nt) Downlink" prediction study, Atoll calculates the best Eb/Nt on the downlink received on each pixel by considering the maximum power allowed on traffic channels for each transmitter in the mobile active set (AS). Then it colours the pixel according to the values and the thresholds defined on the Display tab. By default, the display is set to show the Eb/Nt. The same study can be calculated on the uplink. With "Service Area (Eb/Nt) Uplink" prediction study, Atoll calculates the best Eb/Nt on the uplink on each pixel by considering the maximum terminal power allowed. Then it colours the pixel according to the values and thresholds defined on the Display tab. 6. Create a "Service Area (Eb/Nt) Uplink" prediction study for all transmitters with the following parameters on the Condition tab: Terminal = Mobile. Service = Voice. Mobility = 50 km/h. Carrier = 0. On the Display tab, select the "Required power (dBm)" field, click the Actions button and select Shading. Set the First Break to 20, Set the Last Break to 40 and Set the Interval to 5. On the General tab, name the study: "Uplink Required power (Voice)". On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. Information: With this study, Atoll calculates on each pixel the power required by the terminal to satisfy the minimum Eb/Nt UL. Then it colours the pixel according to the value and the thresholds defined in the Display tab. The same study can be calculated on the downlink with the study "Service Area (Eb/Nt) Downlink". Atoll calculates on each pixel the power required on traffic channels in order to satisfy the minimum Eb/Nt DL. Then it colours the pixel according to the values and the thresholds defined in the Display tab. 7. Create a "Effective Service Area" prediction study for all transmitters with the following parameters on the Condition tab: Terminal = Mobile. Service = Mobile Internet Access. Mobility = Pedestrian. Carrier = 0. On the General tab, name the study: "Effective Service Area (Mobile Internet)". On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. Information: With this study, Atoll colours the pixel when the service is available, i.e., when the values of Ec/Io, Eb/Nt DL, and Eb/Nt UL on the pixel exceed the respective minimum quality values.

8. Select the visibility box for the study "Effective Service Area (Mobile Internet)" and launch the Point Analysis Tool. Select the AS Analysis tab Set the Point Analysis Tool with the same parameters as defined in the prediction we to study (Terminal = Mobile, Service = Mobile Internet Access, Mobility = Pedestrian, Carrier = 0). Perform an Active Set analysis (AS Analysis tab) on several pixels and determine one pixel where the service is not available in the Downlink Double-click in the point analysis tool in order to know why the service is not available in the Downlink. Why? Close the Point Analysis Tool. Information: By double-clicking the service availability result a dialogue box is displayed showing necessary information to investigate the availability or the non availability of a service on a certain pixel. 9.

On the General tab, name the study: "Effective Service Area (Video Conferencing)". On the Display tab, change the legend colour to Green. On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. 11. Right-click the "Effective Service Area (Mobile Internet)" and select Duplicate. Change the following parameters: On the Condition tab, set Service to Voice. On the General tab, name the study: "Effective Service Area (Voice)". On the Display tab, change the legend colour to Yellow. On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. 12. Select the visibility box of all the "Effective Service Area" prediction Right-click the Predictions folder and select Generate Report Select the following information to be displayed: o Surface (km2) o % Covered Surface o % Focus zone o % Computation zone o Click OK. o Which one is having the best coverage? Why? o Close the report Information: Atoll will generate a comparative report for all the studies. It is then easier to look for differences.

13. Create a "Pilot Pollution" prediction study for all transmitters with the following parameters on the Condition tab: Terminal = Mobile. Service = Mobile Internet Access. Mobility = 50 km/h. Carrier = 0. On the General tab, name the study: "Pilot Pollution (Mobile Internet)". On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. Information: With this study, Atoll determines on each pixel the number of polluters there might be. Then it colours the pixel according to the values and the thresholds defined in the Display tab. A polluter is a cell which satisfies all the conditions to enter the mobile AS but which is not admitted because the AS limit has already been reached. 14. Create a "Handoff Status" prediction study for all transmitters with the following parameters on the Condition tab: Terminal = Mobile. Service = Voice. Mobility = 50 km/h. Carrier = 0. On the General tab, name the study: "Handoff Status (Voice)". On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. Information: With this study, Atoll colours each pixel according to the mobile handover status. 15. Create a "Downlink Total Noise" prediction study for all transmitters with the following parameters on the Condition tab: Terminal = Mobile. Service = Voice. Carrier = 0. On the General tab, name the study: "Downlink Total Noise (Voice)". On the radio toolbar, click Calculate ( ) to calculate the study. Information: For the downlink total noise, no mobility has to be selected since the mobility choice has no impact on the results. 16. Save the document. Information: Use Tools > User Configuration > Import (or Export) to import (or export) a user configuration file. 17. Export your study in a "User Configuration" file. Select only the "Prediction List" option. Name the file "Training_Atoll_3G_Analyse1.cfg" 18. Save the document.
