Digital Map
Digital map is used for planning basically consists of the following three
components, stored under three directories respectively.
\Heights
Digital Terrain Model (DTM): stored in a binary format where each
element of the data represents the height above sea level in meters for
a square area. Directly participate in radio propagation model
calculation.
\Clutter
Digital Land Use (DLU): stored in a binary format with each element
of the data containing a code corresponding to a category of land
usage for a square area, such as forest, lake, open area, industrial
area, urban area, high-storey building area. It is used during
calculating radio propagation path loss.

\Vector
Linear vector Model (LDM): linear vector data describes plane
distribution and space relationship of linear clutters, including
speedway, street and river.
For Planet format map, Linear (2D) vector data is stored in ASCII
DOS format and requires following types of input file - an index file,
a menu file, and one or several vector data files.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 24


Digital Map
For high resolution digital map, there are another two
kinds of maps which describe the building height.
\Clutter Height
Digital Height Model (DHM): format is exactly the same as the
DTM format except that the height values stored represent
clutter height above ground level, that is, flat earth. Where
clutter is open, values should be 0m.

\3D Vector
3D vector data describe the shapes of clutters but also their
heights in great detail. 3D vector data is expected to contain
at least building contours and heights but contours and
heights are also recommended for other clutters (e.g.
vegetation, water).
For Planet format map, 3D vector data is stored in ASCII
DOS format and requires following types of input file an
index file, a menu file, and one or several couples of
vector data files + vector 3D attributes files.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 25


Selecting coordinate system
U-Net works with the following two coordinate systems at
the same time:
Projection (Primary) coordinate system: It is a coordinate system of
geographical database which depends on the imported geographic file.
(Usually, projection system can be found in Projection file in DTM map directory).
Display coordinate system: it is a coordinate system for display and
data-input. All the geographical coordinates are displayed and input
according to this system. If the projection coordinate system and the
display coordinate system do not match with each other, U-Net will
adjust them.

Simulation Basis

Simulation is oriented to simulate the


running situation of networks under
the current network configuration so
as to facilitate decision-making
adjustment.

U-Net use Monte Carlo simulation to


generate user distributions (snapshots)
randomly. By iteration, U-Net get the
uplink/downlink cell loading, the
connection status and rejected reason
for each mobile.

Snapshots, U-Net is able to generate


prediction plots by using a non interfering
mobile (called probe mobile or test
mobile)

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 52


Static Simulation

Generate a certain quantity of network instantaneous state - Snapshot.


Here, some MSs or terminals are distributed based on a certain rule (such
as random even distribution) at each Snapshot.
Acquire connection capability between terminals and networks by
incremental operation.
Here, it is required to consider the possibility of multiple connection
failure (uplink/downlink traffic channel maximum transmit power,
unavailable channels, low Ec/Io and uplink/downlink interference).
Measure and analyze results of multiple Snapshots to have a overall
understanding of network performance.

Monte Carlo simulation is a kind of static simulation.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 53


Monte Carlo Simulation
The following takes coverage probability for an example to further
understand how Monte Carlo simulation is performed.

Theory - CQI
There are two methods to calculate CQI
Based on CPICH quality
Based on HS-PDSCH quality
The Two mapping tables are provided in U-Net
Huawei recommends the use of HS-PDSCH based quality mapping table
because this tables default parameters are consistent with Huaweis
recommendation

Theory-Scheduling
The order of the served HSDPA users is depending on which one of the three
available scheduling techniques has been selected .
Proportion FairMAX C/IRound Robin are offered by this Version.
MAX C/IResources allocated to UE with the best radio propagation conditions.
HSDPA users are sorted in CQI descending order
Round Robin: Resources allocated in a sequential way. HSDPA users are taken
into account in their order of appearance in MC simulation (random order)
Proportion Fair: A compromise between the two previous methods to allow to
serve also users with bad radio conditions but trying to maximize average
throughput. HSDPA users are first sorted in CQI descending order. Then the first
HSDPA_MAX_USERS are taken into account in their appearance order.

Theory-Peak Rate
Peak Rate is RLC layer rate
The calculation process:
Mapping Radio Bearer Index from CQI
Looking up HSDPA Radio bearer corresponding
to the Radio bearer Index
Estimating UE categories supporting the bearer
(Modulation/Code etc)
If supportedget the Peak Rate; if not, then go
back to HSDPA Radio bearer to look up the
best bearer and get the Peak Rate

Theory-Application Throughput
Application Throughput is Application layer rate
The formula from peak rate to application throughput:

E.g. : the Uplink traffic is continuous 64kbps, the Downlink traffic is
continuous 2Mbps. This means
1. 64 kbps/8 * 3600 = 28800 Kbytes
2. 2 Mbps *1024 / 8 *3600 = 921600 KBytes

The reasons of Rejected and delayed
1. HSDPA Delayed: lack of HSDPA power
2. HSDPA Scheduler Saturation: HSDPA users not in selected HSDPA_MAX_USERS users

There are two important
parameters of power
1. Total Transmitted Power
without HSDPA (DL) (dBm)
total Power of R99 traffic
and pilot channels etc in
downlink.
When HSDPA traffic existsit is the
2. HSDPA PowerdBm

When no HSDPA traffic, the values is 0

There are two important
parameters of power
1. DL requested rate: Depending on
HSDPA usable Power,remaining OVSF
codes and UE categories etc, it is not
associated with HSDPA traffic
2. DL obtained rate: depending on the
scheduler algorithm (Round Robin, Max
CQI, Proportional Fair) to select which
users obtain the rate

Simulation Result - Rate
In group, check the results in cell

In single simulation, check the
results in cell
Some important results :
1. HSDPA Application Throughput:
Application layer ratecalculated from
HSDPA Peak Rate.
2. HSDPA Peak rateRLC layer rate
for single simulation, equaling to the
average requested rate (HSDPA) of
mobiles (connecting DL) in the cell
3. Instantaneous HSDPA Rate for
single simulation, equaling to the sum
of obtained rates (HSDPA) in the cell
4. Instantaneous HSDPA Rate of GROUP
simulations can be regarded as the cell
average rate. But it is not the actual cell
average rate, it is not associated with
HSDPA traffic
