Binning Process

3 Options of Doing Binning:1.Binning of Drive Test Using XCAP in 20m x 20m. End results will be
passed on to Mapinfo to query the morphology mapping
2.Binning of Drive Test Using Mapinfo and query the morphology
mapping
3.Binning and query of morpho to be entirely processed in XCAP. This
customized feature needs Samsung to confirm with Innowireless
Pre-Requisite for Morphology Mapping:
- The CLUSTER Polygon in Mapinfo for the Cluster under test
- YTL and Samsung to jointly develop a Morphology Boundary
(Eg: DU,U,SU and RU) in Mapinfo layer

Binning Process: Option 2

The following slides will describe OPTION 2, where :
1)Raw Drive Test data (from XCAL) will be exported
to text file with Positioning, RSSI, Throughput UL and
DL
2)Mapinfo will bin the data according to 20m x 20m
resolution using GRID MAKER in Mapinfo. The values
will be averaged within the bin inside the Cluster
under test.
3)Mapinfo will query the bin results within the test
Cluster and map them to Morphology Classification.
4)Results will be exported out to Excel for further Bin
pass/fail evaluation

Binning Process: Option 2

These Layers are examples Only
Pink Boundary is the
Example of Cluster under
test
Cluster: A1

Morpho Layer: U

Morpho Layer: DU

The Remaining Morpho will be R.

Only Morpho DU, U and SU will be
drawn

Binning Process: Option 2

Run Grid Maker from Mapinfo and create Grid of 20m x 20m

Created grid will cover the whole area of cluster

The grid will be saved to this location

Binning Process: Option 2

Match Grid to Cluster

Create additional Column to Grid Table: - 1) Morpho 2) Cluster 3) KPIs (RSS
Step1

Step2

Step3
After adding the column, the Grid Layer will disappear from map view. Go to
Layer control with right mouse click and add the layer back to the map view

Add 2 Column via

Add Field button

Binning Process: Option 2

Match Grid to Cluster
Click on Menu for :Table Update Column
Step1

Step2

Step3
The Cluster column will be updated with cluster A1
name.
SQL Query the Cluster Column which is blank (out
of Cluster polygon).
The Query result will show blank. Press DELETE
button to remove
Go to Menu: Table Maintenance - Pack Table

Step4

Binning Process: Option 2

Grid after Cluster Matching/Trimming

Binning Process: Option 2

Grid to Update with Morphology Step1

The Morpho column will be updated with U, DU or SU. The remaining blank will be R in
Step 2-3
Step2 Use SQL Query to Query Blank
Step3 Update Column Blank with R

Binning Process: Option 2

After Trimming to Cluster and Mapping to Morpho, the final grid will look
like this.
Use Thematic to verify the grid if it is correct according to the Legend

Binning Process: Option 2

Repeat for Other KPIs : Throughput

Binning Process: Option 2

For Comparison:
Square colored Bins are
averaged RSSI values. Black
dots are individual Drive Test
Samples

Binning Process: Option 2

Filter out only Bins with Drive Test Results
Step1

The end result on the right will

be exported to Text file for
Excel Processing

Step2

Binning Process: Option 2

Reporting will be done using Excel:
Input the RSSI and Throughput threshold for DU, U, SU and R
according to Acceptance Test values.
Bin will be evaluated as Overall Pass Bin % for each of the
KPIs
