Import Sites Table
In Atoll, for each eNodeB a site and transmitters are defined. The site info refers to the physical location of the site, and
transmitter info refers to cell configuration including antenna.
In Sites table, the site name, longitude and latitude are given. The following is a site template in .csv format.
Make sure the column for Altitude is blank. When the file is imported into Atoll, the site altitude info will be updated automatically based on
DTM data.

Model Propagasi di Atoll
Atoll integrates many propagation models including Okuruma-
Hata, Cost-Hata, SPM (Standard Propagation Model), ITU370,
ITU526, ITU 529, Longley-Rice, Erceg-Greenstein (SUI),
Sakagami Extended (3.5 GHz) and WLL models.

Cells setting
In Atoll, Cell represents a channel/carrier and its property, so
it’s possible for user to configure a LTE network with
multicarrier.
In an LTE project, cells must also be added to each
transmitter. A cell refers to the characteristics of an RF
channel on a transmitter.

To open the “Cells table”, right click on “Transmitters” in the Network tab and

MIMO Systems in Atoll LTE
Base stations and user equipment support MIMO systems
Gains graphs available in reception equipment
Numbers of transmission and reception antenna ports at base station and terminal
• Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) or Spatial Multiplexing (SM) (also called Matrix B MIMO in other standards)
– More than one transmission antenna to send different data streams on each antenna
– Improvement of throughput for a given CINR
– Usually used in coverage areas with good CINR conditions

Setting the Computation Zone
If there is no computation zone defined, the pathloss matrices for all transmitters
will be calculated, based on the calculation radius and the signal threshold.
If the user wants to calculate the pathloss matrices only for a specific region, a
Computation Zone can either be imported or directly drawn in the Map Window.

Neighbours Allocation

Neighboring Cell Planning
LTE Network require hard handover, so the Neighboring cell Planning is very important
LTE Neighboring cell planning content : Intra-Freq Neighboring cell, Inter-freq neighboring cell, Inter-RAT
neighboring Cell
LTE neighboring cell Planning principle :
• Geographically adjacent cell are used as neighboring cell
• In common scenario, bidirectional neighboring relationship is configured
• The distance between eNB is small (0.3 – 1km ) in urban areas, and therefore a large number of
neighboring cell are recommended
• If the adjacent cell of a cell in front of a lake, sea, or a wide road is also in front of the lake, sea or a
wide road, the adjacent cell is configured as its neighboring cell.
LOGO
The method of LTE neighbor cell planning is similar to neighbor planning of GSM/WCDMA/CDMA. Currently,
the planning method and tool for LTE are available.
The configuration is different from GSM/WCDMA/CDMA . There is no BSC/RNC in the LTE system. When
an eNB cell is configured as neighbor cells of other eNBs, external cells must be added first, which is similar
to the scenario where inter-BSC/RNC neighbor cells are configured on the BSC. That is, neighbor cells can
be configured only after the corresponding cell information is added.
