A system overview of U-Net

Be a professional radio network design tool for 3G, completely support GSM/TDMA,GPRS-EDGE, cdmaOne,W-CDMA / UMTS and CDMA 2000/1x RTT/EVDO

Realize mobility of planning design, supporting a wide range of project applications, single-processor configurations, and Enterprise server-based network configurations. The singleprocessor version does not requiring connecting external database and users can still share engineering data.

Open, expandable platform Friendly interface and be easy to install, operate, tune models and generate reports

Modules in U-Net
Modular structure

Modular including :the basic core module, 3G module, measurement

module, AFP (Automatic frequency planning) module and microwave

Import of CW measurement data
Import and display CW data Automatically correct the propagation model according to CW measurement Prediction/measurement comparison, analysis Import of measurement data of drive test Import, display and analyze testing mobile data Playback on the map according to user-defined routes Analyze and display call events Automatically correct the propagation model according to drive test data Prediction/measurement comparison, analysis

U-Net Propagation Model

CW Test sample

U-Net Propagation Model

Prediction map (using the tuned model)

U-Net Propagation Model

deviation map (predicted value-test value)

Traffic map

Purpose of traffic map

Distribute some mobiles to digital map.

Ways to create a traffic map

Traffic raster maps based on environments Traffic vector maps based on user profiles Traffic map based on transmitters and services

Traffic raster maps based on environments

Each raster of the map is assigned an environment class Traffic map is created based on combination of environment class ,user profile, user density and mobility

Environment class A User profile A1, mobility type A1, density A1 User profile A2, mobility type A2, density A2 ...

Environment class B User profile B1, mobility type B1, density B1 User profile B2, mobility type B2, density B2 ...

Traffic vector maps based on user profiles

Each polygon or line contains a density of subscribers with given user profile and mobility types

Polygon A User profile A, mobility type A, density A

Polygon B User profile B, mobility type B, density B

Traffic map based on transmitters and services

Live traffic spread over the service area of each transmitter

Service zone of Tx A For each defined service, UL and DL throughputs or Number of UL and DL active users

Service zone of Tx B For each defined service, UL and DL throughputs or Number of UL and DL active users
