Planning Tools
Paper & pencil
Use this before using any computerised, highly sophisticated tools ! Collect design information Sketch of network layout Network topology Estimate sizes and quantities Agree planning budget with corresponding departments NOKIA 1999 EXPLAIN_8.PPT/ 24.8.99 /WORKSHOP
Limitations of Tools
Precision of results validity of assumptions? reliability of modelling? Tools need initial design proposal fundamental ideas creative thinking user's intelligence There are no self-configuring tools garbage in - garbage out rule applies strictly
Tool Types
Network planning uses different sets of tools for the various activities:
Planning (NetDim, NPS/X, Totem GSM, Totem WCDMA, NPS/10) Site survey (GPS receiver, digital camera, compass, LOS checking) Measurements (TOM, ESVD, Power meter, Spectrum analyzer, transmitters) GIS and databases (MAPINFO, CellTracker, Oracle) Performance reporting tools (CDW, NDW, PlanEdit, CellDoctor, ISAR, NPStat)

serving cell information (signal level, quality,Tx power, BER, C1, C2, location area)
neighbour information (channel number, location area, frequency band) layer 3 messages (broadcast layer messages UpLink and DownLink, full message decode)

15
CDMA coding of the signal, different codes for civilian or military use
Precision: 100 m (civilian) some meters (military) using the default WGS84 datum Used to get coordinates of visited sites during site surveys and locating measurements. Watch out !!! Map datum and GPS datum must be THE SAME, otherwise bigger errors come out
17
Databases: CellTracker
Oracle-based database interface and documentation tool MapInfo can be linked via ODBC to CellTracker: possibility to compare the nominal site plan with the real situation on the field The safest way to share information about sites between RNP, TNP, SA, CW etc. Each user has its own account and read/write rights Issuing of customized reports, sorted by different site-related parameters

Network Analysis Data Warehouse key performance indicators analysis tuning reports
Implementation
Network
21
Runs in UNIX-environment
Very useful for troubleshooting and network optimisation
