Permissions Matrix - Types

The Permissions Matrix is a table of values.– Serving cell is listed in each row– Interfering cell is listed in each column

Each value in the table represents how much interference the Serving cell would experience IF the Interfering cell were co-channel.

Each value assumes:– The serving cell is bound by equal power boundaries– The interfering cell is bound by its prediction boundaries (i.e. Calc.

Dist.)– The C/I’s in the serving area will form a Gaussian distribution (i.e.

curve is defined by a mean value and std. dev.) This may not be the case in some instances

7

Permissions Matrix – Types

The C/I Matrix• Starts with a Tx pair• Calculates the C/I for each

bin over the service area• Counts the # of bins that

have a C/I of ‘X’ to build a histogram

• Repeat for all Tx Pairs 8 7 5 4 2 2

The C/I Matrix• The Histogram is evaluated for a single Tx pair• The C/I value is entered into the matrix that represents the

Nth percentile

C/I Value entered into Permat

Probability of Interference represents % of area interfered

Graph of COCHANF.DAT

• Start with predicted C/I over coverage area

• C/I is used to scale the ‘area’ that is interfered

•Uses the Cochanf.dat (found in Common folder) to scale the area

Example:

C/I of 13 dB represents a 55% probability of interference (i.e. 55% of the area in that bin is interfered)

For one 90m bin, that is:

(90x90) * 0.55 = 4.455 km2 Interfered

10


The Area Matrix• The km2 of interfered area are binned per C/I to form histogram

• The value in the matrix is a sum of all interfered area (units of km2)

• Moves Interference away from rural sites

•Works best when all sites coverage areas are roughly the same

km2 of Interference at a given C/I

Probability of Interference represents % of traffic interfered

Graph of COCHANF.DAT

• Start with predicted C/I over coverage area

• Read amount of traffic in a bin from a demand grid

• Uses the Cochanf.dat (found in Common folder) to scale the traffic

Example:

C/I of 13 dB represents a 55% probability of interference (i.e. 55% of the traffic in that bin is interfered)

For one bin with 33 mErl, that is:

33 mErl * 0.55 = 18.15 mErl Interfered

12


The Traffic Matrix• The mErl of interfered traffic are binned per C/I to form histogram

• The value in the matrix is a sum of all interfered traffic (units of mErl)

• Traffic grid can be weighted by clutter types (i.e. don’t put traffic in water)

• Moves Interference away from high traffic sites

• Of all options, this one works best as input to AFP

Permissions Matrix – Inputs

Analysis > Create Permissions Matrix

15


Permissions Matrix InputsGeneral

• Output Name: name the new permat or over-write one that already exists

• Reference Grid: no longer used; x-Wizard will generate multi-resolution permat based on terrain assigned to cell

• Transmitters to Include: Normally just use your target technology– note that you can only create a C/I matrix if

you select more than one technology (traffic or area matrices are not allowed)

16


Permissions Matrix InputsDetermining Service Area

• Server Calculation Method: determines the most likely server based on choice

– Strongest Server: most likely server is the transmitter with the strongest Received Signal Level (RSL).

– HCS and Forward Link RSL: Most likely server is the transmitter with the strongest RSL equaling or exceeding the sufficient signal strength and highest HCS level. The HCS level has priority, so the most likely server may not be the strongest server.

17


Permissions Matrix InputsDetermining Service Area (cont.)

• ‘Exterior’ sectors: A sector that points to unserved area; no other network sites to create equal power boundaries and limit the coverage area

– Min. Serving Signal: Sets the minimum Received Signal Level (RSL) required for a sector to serve a bin

– Max Service Area Radius: Sets the maximum distance an exterior site can serve

Limits the service area by preventing the site from serving an area beyond this radius – even if RSL meets Min.

InteriorSite

ExteriorSites

18


Permissions Matrix Inputs Selecting Type of Matrix

• Generate Area Interfered Matrix – will create an area interfered permissions matrix

• Generate Traffic Interfered Matrix – will create an traffic interfered permissions matrix

• Generate Co-channel Interference (CCI) Histogram: Utilized by OPTIMI x-AFP; not necessary for CellOpt

19


Permissions Matrix Inputs Modeling Traffic Distributions

In reality, two people standing next to each other can be served by two different servers

– Calls originating in different sectors can be dragged into the same bin

– Calls can be served by different sites based on traffic congestion

i.e. one server is NOT serving all traffic in a bin– We want to capture this when distributing traffic

for Permat Traffic in a bin will be split amongst the N different

servers

Call originatedCall dragged to . . .

Permissions Matrix InputsSpreading Traffic

1. MAX Servers: maximum number of servers in a bin

• This field limits the number of sectors that can serve a bin for the purpose of spreading traffic

*Important Point: The Voice Traffic field in the Tx dialog MUST be populated (or you will have to select an override value)

21


Permissions Matrix InputsSpreading Traffic (cont)

2. Determine % of traffic served by each Sector in a bin

– SERVERWEIGHT.DAT – Traffic distribution based on RSL delta between the strongest server & the Nth server (used if no HCS present)

– SERVERSCALE.DAT – Traffic distribution based on delta between serving HCS and Nth server’s HCS

These tables distribute traffic amongst the different sectors serving the bin.

Only the Nth strongest signals are considered based on the user setting Max. Servers

Delta (dB) Weight0 1.01 0.72 0.53 0.34 0.25 0.1

22


Permissions Matrix InputsSpreading Traffic (cont)

3. Clutter Weighting: Distributes traffic in a realistic pattern

• Reads Clutter Adjustment’s Traffic Weight field

• Puts more users on roads rather than open fields in rural areas, for example

• Allows the AFP to push interference into open areas and water, for example

23


Permissions Matrix Inputs (Other)

• COCHANF.DAT – Probability of Interference at various C/I levels– Used to scale the Area interfered and Traffic interfered matrices

• IncludeThermal Noise: Routine will calculate C/I+N, rather than just C/I (Generally NOT Recommended)– Enter an appropriate value for the Noise Figure in (dB).– Can be dangerous with Exterior sectors since Noise

Figure can be dominant source of interference Set Min. Serv. Signal at Exterior sectors to high value (-85dB) to

compensate

24

Permissions Matrix – Multi-Resolution

Multiple terrain and clutter resolution in the SAME analysis

Better suited for “Transition Areas” between Morphologies

25

Permissions Matrix – Multi-Resolution

Multi-Resolution Analysis Calculations

•Area by Area Analysis

•Areas are then studied to get final result

•Takes advantage of high resolution over a small area while still calculating all sites.

•Much faster than system wide high resolution

26

Class Agenda – Channel Planning

• Channel Plan Data– Frequency Mapping Tables– Frequency Templates– Assigning Tables and Templates– Types of iDEN Channels

27

x-Wizard Channel Planning

• x-Wizard uses 3 different files to support channel planning– Channel Plan (*.pln)

Radio assignments for each transmitter Saved in …\\Project\Chanplan

– Frequency Table (.ftf) Mapping of channel numbers to center frequencies Saved in …\\Common\Frequency Tables\<Technology>

– Channel Template (*.tpl) Tabulated display of all channels available in the system Saved in …\\Common\Templates

28

Channel Plan (*.pln) • The Channel Plan

– Records transmitter radio assignments

– Is project specific• Multiple channel plans

for a project can be created and saved, but– one channel plan can be

active in project at any moment

– Requires explicit save

Channel plans available in a project

Channel plan active in a project

29

Frequency Table (*.ftf)• Mapping tables

– Channel number to frequency mapping

• Editable by:– x-Wizard

Tools > Edit Frequency Table…

– Windows (Notepad, Excel…)

• If a channel does not exist in the frequency table then it can NOT be used in the project

• Basis of cross tech studies

30

Frequency Table (*.ftf)• Assigned at:

– Project, System, or Switch Split frequency bands

• All radio assignments in Channel Plan must be defined in Frequency Table!– Note that you do not lose

channels, they just can notbe assigned or used.

- Interference in x-wizard is based on frequency

31

Channel Template (*.tpl)• Spreadsheet view of available channels in the

system Assigned at the Project, System, Switch, or TX

– All transmitters under that parent use assigned template Provides a structured approach to channel planning

– Groups, Sets, Subsets, and Channels– Color code, & PCCH offset

32

Creating Channel Template

• Templates are ASCII files created using the Channel Template Editor Macro– Tools > Channel Template Editor

No Duplicate #’s, spaces, or symbols should be used. Save to x-Wizard will auto-load the template into your Common

Dir. Save elsewhere requires loading into x-Wizard!

33

Assigning Channels to Tx• Multiple options in x-Wizard

1. Edit > Channels Click ‘Rainbow’ to open the

template2. Edit cell

Open channel template for the transmitter of the cell

3. ‘Rainbow’ icon on x-Wizard toolbar

4. Wireless Explorer Right mouse-click on the Tx >

Edit Channels5. Import channel plan

File > Import > Channel Plan …

34

Radio Properties • Radio Properties are saved

as part of Channel Plan• Radio properties include:

– Options will vary by Technology Examples are:

– Channel number or ARCFN FCC Carrier-Decimal (iDEN) Carrier-Hexadecimal (iDEN)

– Center frequency Set by freq. table

– Radio type 7 iDEN types

– PN’s or Power per Channel

35

Radio Types … iDEN Only1. ‘Primary Ctrl’

– Used to model the Motorola primary control channel designation

2. ‘Secondary Ctrl’– Used to model the Motorola secondary control channel

3. ‘Voice’– Used to model traffic channels

4. ‘Planned’– Used to model traffic channels that are currently not on-air but will be implemented in the future

5. ‘Forbidden’– Used to mark channels that can not to be used in the site due to FCC restrictions regarding

incumbent users

6. ‘WiDEN’– A rack unit that contains up to 4 radios; WiDEN groups handle both voice and data. WiDEN

groups contain sequentially adjacent channels

7. ‘Quad BR’– A rack unit that contains up to 4 radios. The device fills the same "slot" as a single radio device.

All radios in a Quad BR contain sequentially adjacent channels. Quad BR groups can contain one, two, three, or four radios. Quad BR's handle only voice traffic.

36

Class Agenda – Channel Planning

• Specific Topics– Quasi-Omni’s – WiDEN channels– Quad-BRs

37

Quasi-omni (Simulcast Repeaters)

• Sector-level parameter– Separate ‘technology’– Non-translational repeater

One sector donor – other repeaters All sectors use the same channels

– Do NOT interfere with each other Interference analysis Permission matrix calculations

– Represented by one (donor) sector!

• Traffic – Defined for donor sector- traffic

becomes “site” traffic

38

Quad BR and WiDEN for iDEN

• Query Tool (Edit > Query) to Find Quad BR and Widen • Requires Channel Plan

• Create Active Set

• Show Sectors on Map

• Run Cover on only Widen– Load active set– Run cover on active set

39

Quad BR and WiDEN in x-Wizard

• Supports export-import to CellOpt AFP • x-Wizard can assign multiple Quad BR or WiDEN in

a single transmitter• Interference analysis

– Treats individual frequencies within a group as if they are a separate radio assignments

40

Quad BR and WiDEN in x-Wizard

• Channel display in Map-viewView > Channel Options… (Ctrl + H)

41

Class Agenda – Evaluating Plans

• Show Conflicts• Show Problems• Show Permissible Usage

• Interference Analyses– Regular Interference– Radio Interference– Traffic Interfered aka Frequency Plan Scoring – 6.6.3.x

for iDEN only.

42

Class Agenda – Evaluating Plans


– To explain the different types of interactive channel planning tools and their use

– To illustrate the use of each tool when evaluating plans

43

Channel Plan Evaluation Tools

• x-Wizard Evaluates Frequency Plan interference problems using:

C/I permission matrix C/I requirement for the given technology Adjacent Channel rejection (ACR) of the equipment used in the

system

• C/I Permission matrix tools– Show Conflicts– Show Problems– Show Permissible Usage* Remember Permat is only as good as your prediction models

ACRCochannelAdjacent ICIC //

44

PM Usage - Show Conflicts– Violations that would

occur if channel were assigned: Co- and adjacent

channel interference requirements violations

Can be changed “on the fly”

Channels > Show Conflicts…

“If assigned to ‘Downtown Chicago’ alpha sector, channel #183 would cause unacceptable co-channel interference to beta sector of the same site!”

How to read this dialog box?!

45

PM Usage - Show conflicts• Available also in a template view

Open template using ‘Rainbow’ tool, or Edit > Channels > ‘Rainbow’

Default Colors (can be changed with Format > Color Scheme)•Gray box + Black channel number = No-violation•Yellow box = Potential interference conflict•Yellow frame of an assigned ch. = Existing interference conflict•Light Yellow= Potential interference with different TX of same site!

46

Show Problems and Permissible Usage

• Problems Violations resulting from

the current channel assignment

‘Make List’ will create files for each problem type (co-channel, cross-tech...)

• Permissible usage Lists all channels that

can be assigned to Tx without any violation

Channels > Show Problems…

Channels > Show Permissible Usage…

“Current assignment of the channel #242 on alpha and beta sectors of the site ‘Brockton Hwy3’ causes unacceptable co-channel interference between them!”

How to read this dialog box?!

47

Manually Manipulating Permat

• Load, manually create or edit permission matrices– Alternations of permat usually

based on empirical data or market knowledge rather than prediction model

• Override matrix is the preferred method

Preserves the original matrix

User can manually enter C/I where needed to prevent reuse

48

Channel Plan EvaluationRegular Interference

• Preferred for project level• TX level interference – if

two TX’s share a radio it will be considered interference over the TX coverage area

• Tends to be conservative often shows more interference that exits

• MUCH faster than radio level

• Channel plan or “on the fly”

Radio Interference• Best for small studies• Each radio of the TX is

compared to each radio of other TX’s

• More realistic Interference• N x N calculations where

N=# of Radios for each TX• The more sites/radios the

longer the runtime• Channel Plan Only• GSM Interference is

already a radio level

49

Evaluation of Channel Plan

Regular Interference1. Determine servers by

calculation method2. Determine C/I for TX to TX

based on Parameters 3. Display by “Show” menu

- Study channel plan or click on the interfering sites with the mouse by choosing “Select” in Interferers section

50

Evaluation of Channel Plan

Radio Level Interference (iDEN Only)

1. Determines C/I for each individual radio (server calc method)

2. Then looks at the C/I value for each radio in each bin and based on the value, determines the best and worst radios

3. Then puts the C/I results in three separate screen grids, best, worst, and average case (show)

51

Channel Plan Evaluation• Traffic Interfered Analysis AKA Freq Plan

Scoring• Used to study the amount of interfered traffic

in a channel plan• Two outputs

– Map Screen = Bands represent by amount of interfered traffic % or mErl

– Report Output = Statistical output that can be analyzed outside of x-wizard.

65


– Using x-Wizard drawing utilities– Import from MapInfo

• Using x-Wizard Demand Grid Generation Analysis

66


• 1) Assign traffic to each sector using one of the following methods:– A - Manually populate the traffic field for every transmitter

– B - Import switch traffic using x-Wizard import/export functionality File > Import > Project Data…

– Populate ‘Voice Traffic’ at transmitter level (*tx)

67


2) Run analysis

Clutter file (if any) to weigh the traffic based on clutter type

Traffic distribution is bounded by analysis coverage or Max Radius - Whichever condition is met first

If checked x-Wizard will use the specified value for all the transmitters. Otherwise x-Wizard will use the transmitter specific traffic values

Analysis >Traffic > Demand Grid Generation ...

68

• Demand coverage area for each transmitter is determined by:

The result of the specified analysis,or

Maximum service area radius (whichever is met first!!)

• If absolute demand is created Every bin in the demand coverage

area will get assigned a traffic value:
