GENEX U-Net is a radio planning tool that fully supports the technologies of
GSM,GPRS-EDGE, CDMA IS95, WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA, CDMA
2000/1xRTT/1xEVDO, and TD-SCDMA wireless networks. It provides friendly user
interfaces and enables wide applications and fine openness. U-Net offers overall
supports for wireless communication operators, including initial network design,
network planning and construction, network expansion, and expansion planning.
GENEX U-Net enables powerful engineering planning ability. An open, upgradeable
and flexible technical information system, it can be easily integrated with other IT
systems. With leading technologies, it improves productivity and shortens delivery
time.
GENEX U-Net includes seven modules: base module, 3G planning module,
measurement module, GSM automatic frequency planning (AFP) module, and
microwave module, DT module (using 2G drive test data to help 3G coverage
prediction), RND module, UAP /MPM module. Among the modules, the base module
is mandatory, while the other four are optional based on the planning objective. The
default configuration for 3G network planning includes the base module, 3G module,
measurement module, RND module, and UAP /MPM module.
Many domestic mobile companies and design academies are using U-Net for
network planning and simulation.
All Huawei commercial networks are planned by using U-Net.
In over 20 overseas CDMA commercial offices and dozens of WCDMA commercial
offices and pilot offices, U-Net is used for software planning.
2 Product Characteristics
3 Major Functions
Function Description
5. The measurement
Supporting the import of CW test data and test handset
module supports the import
measurement data; performing automatic model correction;
and analysis of multiple
supporting data statistics and analysis
types of test data
Function Description
Coverage prediction based on drive tests; using the drive test data
7. Supporting 3G coverage
of the existing network (e.g. 2G network) to prediction 3G network
prediction based on 2G
coverage, hence effectively improving precision and efficiency of
drive test data
network coverage prediction.
The analysis check compares the imported drive test data with the
predicted data in a U-Net project, and employs the statistical
sheets and graphics to display the discrepancies between the two
data. At present, the analysis check supports WCDMA projects
only.
8. Network Planning and
The precision check is applicable to the WCDMA, CDMA2000,
Optimizing Check
and GSM projects. In the precision check, the U-Net imports the
engineering parameters and the Nastar performance data. After
the precision analysis, the U-Net displays the data on the map. At
present, the prediction and simulation in the U-Net helps to check
the precision of the Nastar data.
Function Description
16. Microwave link planning Providing the microwave link planning function to analyze link
and management function interference and manage all microwave links
Function Description
18. Supporting engineering U-Net supports engineering data compression; path loss files and
data compression to engineering files can be saved separately; data can be sent via
facilitate remote technical emails, which facilitates remote technical supports and file
supports transmission

5) Coordinate system
U-Net supports thousands of international coordinate systems, including WGS84 and
Beijing1954, and enables the creation of new coordinate system;supports primary
and auxiliary coordinate systems. The primary coordinate system is used for map
projection and the auxiliary one used to display geographic coordinate.
7) Exported data
