Q: What is a clutter?

Answer

Clutter refers to a Land Use/Land

Cover classification of surface features
which impact on radio wave
propagation. These features are
classed according to their physical and
electrical properties.

Q: What is a cluster?
(in GSM)

Answer

The number of cells per cluster is

restricted by the requirement that the
clusters must fit together like jig-saw
pieces. The possible cell clusters are
the 4-,7-,12- and 21-cell clusters.

Q: What are heights in
MAP?

Answer

clutter altitude: aka Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is

a continuous model of ground-level land surface,
represented by a digital raster grid with each grid
cell holding an elevation value. A DTM is a
fundamental data input for radio propagation
studies in that terrain blocks and reflects radio
waves.
clutter height: the average building height on
clutter.
3D building: the shape and height of real buildings
