Map Data File Formats

This appendix describes the map data file formats that are used in ENTERPRISE.

Except where otherwise mentioned, spaces in text files are treated as delimiters. Therefore, if you have spaces within names of models, antennas, carrier layers and so on, you need to remove them. It is recommended that you replace them with underscores or run the words together, for example, Flat Terrain becomes FlatTerrain. This may mean temporarily changing your existing ENTERPRISE names so that items will match those from the import file. After a successful import, you can change the names back again.

If an export is made from a database that uses spaces, it will not be possible to import without editing the file manually.

About the Map Data Format Used

ENTERPRISE uses well-defined and easily obtainable map data formats that can be ordered from all major digital mapping data suppliers. Conceptually, a pixel represents the average value over the complete pixel. Each pixel is referred to using the lower left co-ordinate.

Slashes in index file paths can be either / or \ to allow easy sharing of data with PC and UNIX based file servers. Although sub-folders are supported with the paths, the up-one-directory symbol is not, for example,”010\..\”.

A P P E N D I X A


Height Data Format

The height data - digital terrain model (DTM) is stored in a binary format where each element of the data represents the height above sea level in metres for a square area of, for example, 50m x 50m.

Index File

An ASCII text file called index.txt contains positional information about each binary height file. The file contains one row describing each height file. Relative path names can be incorporated within the filename to allow a structured approach to map data directory organisation.

Each row contains the following variables separated by a space:

Field Description

Filename Filename of DTM Height file

Eastmin Minimum Easting value (metres)

Eastmax Maximum Easting value (metres)

Northmin Minimum Northing value (metres)

Northmax Maximum Northing value (metres)

Square Size Size of each element of the height data (metres)

For example:

The final row of the index file is terminated by a carriage return.

The co-ordinates in index files must be integer multiples of the pixel size otherwise the positional geo-reference accuracy will be lost and the map data may shift back and forth in the Map View window. The difference between the Eastings and Northings must also be multiples of the pixel size.

Binary Height Format

Each element is two bytes in size and the most significant byte is stored first. The elements are stored in one continuous array such that the size of the array in the following example would be 500 (wide) x 500 (high) x 2 (bytes per element) = 500,000 bytes.

If there are pixels within the file that are outside the limits of the map, the value -9999 is stored at that location.


Clutter Data

The clutter data is 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 of, for example, 50m x 50m.

Index File

An ASCII text file called index.txt contains positional information about each binary clutter file.

The file contains one row describing each clutter file. Relative path names can be incorporated within the filename to allow a structured approach to map data directory organisation.


Field Description

Filename Filename of Clutter file

The combination of index filename and path should not exceed 255 characters otherwise ENTERPRISE will truncate it and in the event of a duplication in the truncated names, ENTERPRISE will not add the duplicate.





Square Size Size of each element of the clutter data (metres)

For example:

The final row is terminated by a carriage return.

The co-ordinates in index files must be integer multiples of the pixel size otherwise the positional geo-reference accuracy will be lost and the map data may shift back and forth in the Map View window.


Menu File

In addition an ASCII text file called menu.txt contains a table relating the clutter codes stored in the binary clutter file with a textual description of the clutter category. Each line contains one code followed by one description space separated. This file must be in the same directory as the index file.

The textual description cannot be more than 32 characters long. If the descriptions are longer than this, they will be truncated. In the event of a duplication in the truncated descriptions, ENTERPRISE will warn you and will not add the duplicate.

For example:


Binary Clutter Format

Each element is two bytes in size and the most significant byte is stored first. The elements are stored in one continuous array such that the size of the array in the following example would be 500 (wide) x 500 (high) x 2 (bytes per element) = 500,000 bytes.

Configuring Map Backdrops

ENTERPRISE supports a number of different file types for map backdrops and aerial photographs:

*.bmp *.jpeg

*.tiff *.gif

*.pcx *.targa

If you use BMP bitmaps, these can be any number of colours (2 bit through to 24 bit) but must not use compression (Run Length Encoding). If uncompressed images are giving you performance problems, it is recommended that you use the NTFS file system with file compression.

You can configure the map backdrop data in a number of different ways, depending on how many layer types (and resolutions within those layer types) you have.


Configuring Map Backdrops for a Single Layer Type

If you are using a single layer type, for example aerial photographs or relief maps, then it is recommended that you set up your map backdrop configuration as follows:

1 Create a single Backdrops folder, which is the one you specify on the Map Data Directories tab of the Modify Project dialog box.

2 In this Backdrops folder, you should store an index file (index.txt) and all of the image files.

For more information on the index file, see About the File Format for Map Backdrops Index Files on page 18.

If you use this map backdrop configuration, it is displayed in the list of data types like this:

Configuring Map Backdrops for Multiple Layer Types

If you are using multiple layer types (for example aerial photographs and scanmaps) then it is recommended that you set up your map backdrop configuration as follows:

1 Create a main Backdrops folder, which is the one you specify on the Map Data Directories tab of the Modify Project dialog box.

2 In this Backdrops folder, you should store an index file (index.txt) and sub-folders for each layer.

This picture shows an example of the sub-folders you may have:


The top-level index file in the Backdrops folder should just reference all the sub-folders, for example:

The order of the folders in this index file is the same as that in ENTERPRISE. In this configuration each of the layers would not normally be visible at the same time when displayed at 100% opacity. The folder names in the index file must exactly match those on the disk.

3 In each sub-folder, you should store an index file (index.txt) and all of the image files.



Configuring Map Backdrops for Multiple Layer Types with Multiple Resolutions

If you are using multiple layer types, for example aerial photographs and scanmaps, that also have files of different resolutions (for example, aerial photographs at 20m resolution and 5m resolution), then it is recommended that you set up your map backdrop configuration as follows:

1 Create a main Backdrops folder, which is the one you specify on the Map Data Directories tab of the Modify Project dialog box.

2 In this Backdrops folder, you should store an index file (index.txt) and sub-folders for each layer and resolution combination.


This picture shows an example of the sub-folders you may have:

The top-level index file in the Backdrops folder should just reference all the sub-folders, for example:

The order of the folders in this index file is the same as that in ENTERPRISE. If multiple folders represent the same layer type but at a different resolution, you should ensure that the highest resolution (lowest metres/pixel value) folders are at the bottom of the list for a particular layer type to ensure the higher resolution images are displayed over the coarser ones. In this advanced case, the layer types are not mutually exclusive as the visibility settings are used to control when certain resolutions are displayed. The folder names in the index file must exactly match those on the disk.

3 In each sub-folder, you should store an index file (index.txt) and all of the image files.




About the File Format for Map Backdrops Index Files

There are 2 types of index file for map backdrops:

Top-level index files, stored in the main Backdrops folder

Image index files, stored in either the main Backdrops folder (for single layer types) or in any number of sub-folders (for multiple layer types)

Top-level Index Files

If you are setting up map backdrops for multiple layer types (with or without multiple resolutions), the top-level index file just references all of the sub-folders. For more information on this, see either Configuring Map Backdrops for Multiple Layer Types on page 15 or Configuring Map Backdrops for Multiple Layer Types with Multiple Resolutions on page 16.

If you are just setting up map backdrops for a single layer type, only one index file is needed and is the same format as the one described for the sub-folder index files.

Image Index Files

This index file can refer to multiple image files with one row giving information about one file.


This picture shows an example index.txt file:

Example Map Backdrops Index File

This table shows what is contained in the index.txt file:

Field Description

Filename Filename of data file

The combination of index filename and path should not exceed 255 characters, otherwise ENTERPRISE will truncate it. In the event of a duplication in the truncated names, ENTERPRISE will not add the duplicate.





Resolution Size of image pixel (metres).

This is an optional (floating point) field:

If a value is present, ENTERPRISE uses it to determine whether or not to display the layer

If no value is present, ENTERPRISE assumes that it should always display the layer. A warning is given, and all files are loaded

Important : Ensure that:

Each line, even the last line, of any index file, has a carriage return at the end of it otherwise the line will not be read.

The images in this file are ordered from the least to the most detailed (higher resolution), with the most detailed files at the end of the index.txt file. This means when you have backdrops displayed in the Map View window, the display is built up sequentially, automatically switching between maps and choosing the best file for the zoom level.


You can use image files with different resolutions; when you choose to display the Backdrops data type, by default ENTERPRISE uses an algorithm to automatically select the most appropriate resolution to display. However, if you want to determine the resolution that is displayed, you should follow the appropriate instructions:

If you are configuring map backdrops for

You should ensure that

A single layer type You only list the files for one resolution in the index file.

You set the minimum and maximum map view dimensions at which the image for each resolution will display. This is done on the Visibility Settings tab of the Map Backdrops Display Settings dialog box. For more information on how to do this, see the ENTERPRISE User Reference Guide.

Multiple layer types You set up your map backdrops files as described in Configuring Map Backdrops For Multiple Layers With Multiple Resolutions on page 16.

You set the minimum and maximum map view dimensions at which the image for each resolution will display. This is done on the Visibility Settings tab of the Map Backdrops Display Settings dialog box. For more information on how to do this, see the ENTERPRISE User Reference Guide.

Using the Visibility Settings tab to specify ranges for each different layer and resolution combination can be a laborious task, especially across multiple machines. To perform this globally, ENTERPRISE administrators can set project-wide default visibility settings and import these registry settings into a specific database, making them available to all users. For more information on how to do this, see the ENTERPRISE Installation and Administration Guide.

Using Map Backdrops Effectively

This section gives some tips for using map backdrops effectively.

If You Have High Resolution Maps Covering a Large Area

If you have high resolution maps covering a large area, and your image files are too small, there will be hundreds of files and it will take more time to browse and load the files. Therefore, it is recommended that you "tile" the area into files of size 1Mb to 4Mb. Ideally these files should not overlap. Overlapping files are supported, however if you replace files, or reorder the index file, the overlapping sequence could change giving different visual results.

When the Map Backdrop Does Not Appear in the Map View Window

ENTERPRISE determines whether the map backdrop is worth displaying by checking that the image is not reduced too much.

The backdrop will not be displayed if it is compressed by more than a factor of three. When this happens, a frame indicating the map backdrop area is displayed on the map.


Further Advice on Using Map Backdrops Effectively

The following factors have an impact on the proper use of map backdrops:

The estimated number of metres per pixel is calculated based on the file size and on the assumption that the image is square. Consequently, if your images are very long and thin or short and wide, the visibility algorithm will give differing results for the same metres/pixel images. If you want to use the automatic resolution selection algorithm it is recommended that the images are square rather than rectangular. Alternatively, you could explicitly specify the resolution directly in the index file and/or use the backdrop visibility settings.

Always use the file naming conventions suggested in the Installation and Administration Guide. In particular:

Use relative path names within the image filename to allow a structured approach to map data directory organisation.

Arrange the images into directories corresponding to the metres / pixel value – to make life easier when working with multiple resolutions and improve folder browsing speed when many images are present in a folder.

Vector Data

Line/Vector data contains features such as roads, railways, coastlines, and so on. Separate mapping features must be in separate data files, however there can be more than one file for a specific vector.

Building vector data is a specialised version of normal vector data, which contains a particular attribute called 'building' and describes the shapes and heights of buildings in more detail. The application of such data will typically be to provide input for ray-tracing type propagation models, used for the generation microcell coverage within the planning tool.

All vector data now uses a MapInfo *.tab file format.

ENTERPRISE uses a structured index file (index.xml) to organise a collection of vectors and their constituent *.tab files, and register them with the system.

You can create an index.xml file in a number of ways:

If you have TAB vector files, use the Vector Manager to register the new vectors with ENTERPRISE as it will automatically create/update the index.xml for you. This is by far the most straightforward way. For more information, see the ENTERPRISE User Reference Guide.

If you have TAB vector files but do not want to use the Vector Manager, see the topics and examples in this section for information on how to create an index.xml manually, or use the the GenerateIndexXml power tool to automatically generate an index.xml for a folder hierarchy full of TAB files.

If you have old format vector files (an index.txt file and *.txt vector files), you can create an index.xml file and convert the vectors to TAB format using the Index2Tab power tool, which is available from Product Support.


For more information on the format of the index.xml file, see About the Vector Index.xml File Format on page 22.

About the Vector Index.xml File Format

The vector index.xml file format has the following characteristics:

Each file must start with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<VECTOR-LAYER-LIST VERSION="1.0">

And end with:

</VECTOR-LAYER-LIST>

You can have 0 or more layers, but each VECTOR must have a TAB-FILE-LIST section.

Each LAYER, VECTOR and TAB-FILE must have a GUID attribute, which uniquely identifies each entity. A GUID is a unique 128-bit number formatted in the following hexadecimal arrangement "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000". If you are creating a new index.xml file, you do not need to specify a value, because ENTERPRISE automatically adds any missing values. If you want to create GUIDs yourself, please see http://tinyurl.com/ygmq9u.

Important :

You cannot have duplicate GUID values within each index.xml file

Do not modify GUID values after they have been generated

Each LAYER consists of the following attributes:

A NAME attribute, which stores the name of the layer as defined in the Vector Manager

A GUID attribute (see above)

Any number of VECTOR sections

Each VECTOR consists of the following attributes:

A NAME attribute, which stores the name of the vector as defined in the Vector Manager


A TAB-FILE-LIST section, which must contain 1 or more TAB-FILE sections.

For large vectors, you may have multiple TAB-FILE sections in the same TAB-FILE-LIST. For more information, see Using Multiple TAB-FILE Entries in the Same TAB-FILE-LIST on page 26.

Each TAB-FILE contains the following compulsory attributes:

A FILENAME attribute, which identifies the vector *.tab file containing the vector data. This must include the .tab extension, and is relative to the PATH attribute



Path of the filename relative to the index.xml location, or alternatively a fully qualified path.

A PATH attribute, which is usually the path of the vector filename relative to the index.xml location, but can be a fully-qualified path.

An ATTRIB-NAME-IDX attribute, which ASSET uses to join *.tab file attribute names together to form a unique name. Leave this blank, or specify a comma-separated list of attribute column numbers starting with 1. For example, to include the first column only, type '1' or to include the first three columns, type '1,2,3'. When ENTERPRISE generates per polygon statistics this compound naming column is used.

Tab files for building vectors have their own special conditions. For more information, see About TAB Files for Building Vectors on page 24.

This picture shows a graphical representation of the XML schema:

Vector XML Schema

You can obtain this XML schema as an *.xsd file from Product Support.


About TAB Files for Building Vectors

The TAB files for building vectors have their own special conditions:

The TAB-FILE must contain a BUILDING attribute, which stores the height above DTM as a float

If you are using highly-detailed building data, a single building which has data at various heights will be divided into a number of features, with each one representing a discrete part of the overall building structure.

For example, consider this tower block:

Viewed from above, it can be separated into 3 'strata' of height, each represented here by a different colour:


Each of these strata will appear as a separate feature within the overall building feature, each with its own BUILDING value:

When the building vectors have been imported, if you hover the cursor over a particular point on the building, the height shown will be the height for that particular vector feature.


Using Multiple TAB-FILE Entries in the Same TAB-FILE-LIST

If you have large vectors, you can have multiple TAB-FILE entries in the same TAB-FILE-LIST. In this way, large areas of map data can be 'tiled' into separate sections, then brought together under one VECTOR.

For example, the map data for this location could be split into four sections, each with its own tab file:


The tab files could be NW.tab, NE.tab, SW.tab and SE.tab, corresponding with the areas of data they cover.

In the index.xml file, they would appear as: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<VECTOR-LAYER-LIST VERSION="1.0">

<VECTOR NAME="Large_Region" GUID="0A4E2A65-5F99-4662-8DBF-43975FC2CA40">

<TAB-FILE-LIST>

<TAB-FILE FILENAME="NW.tab" GUID="8EB8882E-83C8-4C57-95F4-EB5FFE6B5BF2" PATH="" ATTRIB-NAME-IDX="" />

<TAB-FILE FILENAME="NE.tab" GUID="FDD4D6EB-7779-43BF-977F-142CFE9F9CA4" PATH="" ATTRIB-NAME-IDX="" />

<TAB-FILE FILENAME="SW.tab" GUID="C066E1CA-149B-436D-8380-89E6212B950A" PATH="" ATTRIB-NAME-IDX="" />

<TAB-FILE FILENAME="SE.tab" GUID="38A23C47-B413-492D-AEFA-75ADCF9E0D68" PATH="" ATTRIB-NAME-IDX="" />

</TAB-FILE-LIST>

</VECTOR>


You could also use these separate tab files again in four individual vectors, for example NW_Region, NE_Region, SW_Region and SE_Region. If this were the case, they each would be given a new, different GUID. This would be particularly useful if you were mapping a number of large cities in a single region, and wanted to treat the cities as a group and also as separate entities.

Building Raster Data

The DEM format is exactly the same as the DTM except that the height values stored represent building height above ground level, that is, flat earth. Typically the pixel sizes would be in the range of 1m to 10m.

Text Data

Text data consists of features such as town names, city names, and so on. The text data is stored in either ASCII files or in a proprietary binary format. Separate mapping features must be in separate data files, however there can be more than one file for a single feature.

Index File

An ASCII text file called index.txt contains positional information about text. Relative path names can be incorporated within the filename to allow a structured approach to map data directory organisation.


Field Description

Filename Filename of text data file

The combination of index filename and path should not exceed 255 characters otherwise ENTERPRISE will truncate it and in the event of a duplication in the truncated names, ENTERPRISE will not add the duplicate.





Feature Name Textual Description of the text data file.


For example:


ASCII Text Format


Field Description

Easting Easting position of the text (metres)

Northing Northing position of the text (metres)

Text Text to be displayed

For example:


Binary Text Format

Binary format files must have the file extension .bin and can only be created from the text format files using the text2bin.exe program which can be found in the ENTERPRISE program directory. Converting to binary text improves application performance and reduces disk usage requirements.

The format of the binary files is a continuous set of records, one for each entry. Each record contains x and y co-ordinates as 32-bit signed integers followed by a 24 character array containing the text to be displayed. The character string should be NULL terminated.


ENTERPRISE File Formats

Many file formats are supported within the ENTERPRISE suite, some of them are unique to ENTERPRISE whereas others are common to a variety of tools. This section describes all the file formats that you can use in one or more ENTERPRISE tools.

ENTERPRISE Export File Format

When you perform an ENTERPRISE export, all committed data is exported to a

number of *.aid files, for example, antenna.aid, activeflags.aid, coordsysdata.aid, siteaddress.aid and so on.

A phonenumber.aid file might look like this:

268005533 268003379 '01737775700' 1

The single file that links these files is named *.aii and contains the database version, the date and time, and the names of all the *.aid files created.


ENTERPRISE XML Export File Format

When you perform an XML export, all committed data is exported to a number of *.xml files such as PROPERTY-LIST001.xml, MSC-LIST001.xml, BSC-LIST001.xml and so on.

An index file is also created which references the other XML files created.

For example, an index file might look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<INDEX><PROPERTY-LIST ENTERPRISE-XML-VERSION="1"

FILENAME="PROPERTY-LIST001.xml"/><MSC-LIST ENTERPRISE-XML-

VERSION="1" FILENAME="MSC-LIST001.xml"/><BSC-LIST ENTERPRISE-

XML-VERSION="1" FILENAME="BSC-LIST001.xml"/><CELL-SITE-LIST

ExternalGsmCell File

This data structure is used to inform the RANOS of the existence of an external GSM/EDGE cell, in other words, a GSM cell configured by another device. ENTERPRISE assumes that all GSM devices are configured by a different device to RANOS (for example, TMOS) and so all GSM cells are defined as external.

This data structure should be exported whenever a GSM neighbour relation is exported. However, it should be ignored on import.

The following table shows the format for ExternalGsmCell file:


externalGsmCellId number The external GSM cell identity (RDN) is derived by concatenating the GSM MCC, MNC, LAC and GSM ID numbers, taken from the General tab of the GSM Cell in the Site Database.

GSM Import

Using the GSM Import from the File menu, you can import:

GSM Carriers

GSM Exceptions

GSM Neighbours

GSM Import Carriers File

The GSM Carriers Import file must be tab separated (spaces will not work) and contain these columns:

Field Data Type Description

CELL_ID CHAR Name of the cell. This column heading must be in UPPER CASE.

ARFCN INT Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number

CarLay CHAR Name of carrier layer

ARFCN2 INT Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number

CarLay 2 CHAR Name of carrier layer










Cell Layer Name CHAR Name of cell layer

BCC INT Base Station Colour Code

TRX Req INT Number of transceivers required for the carrier layer.

-1 is used to automatically set the transceivers required to the actual number of carriers allocated in the file.

HSN INT Hopping sequence number

Hopping Type CHAR Choice of these hopping types:

None

Baseband

Synthesized

These are case sensitive.

NCC INT Network Colour Code, must be in the range 0 - 7

For each subsequent row, after the header row, include the appropriate data.

If you only want to import less than 6 carriers, leave the remaining column pairs empty but retain the tabs. For example, if importing 4 carriers, leave ARFCN5 and CarLay5 and ARFCN6 and CarLay6 empty.

If you need to import more than 6 carriers, start a new row with the same Cell ID and it will add them accumulatively.

Carriers are imported to the carrier layers defined on each row. You can only specify one cell layer per row, so if you want to import to multiple cell layers include multiple rows for the same cell identifier.

If a cell is referred to in the GSM carriers file, when you import, any existing carrier layer and carrier allocations for that cell are replaced with the information given in the file. Therefore, you cannot use this file to merge.

An example of part of a GSM Carriers File is shown below:


GSM Import Exceptions File

The GSM Exceptions file is tab separated and contains:

Field Data Type

EXC_CELL_FROM CHAR

EXC_CELL_TO CHAR

CAR_SEP INT

An example of a GSM Exceptions File is:

GSM Neighbours Import File

The GSM Neighbours file is tab separated and contains:

Field Data Type

NBR_CELL_FROM CHAR

NBR_CELL_TO CHAR

HO_MARGIN INT

An example GSM Neighbours File is:


Properties Export and Import File Format

You can export and import Properties in ENTERPRISE. The file format for Properties is as follows.

One header row lists the fields that are exported for each Property, that is:

PROPERTY ID

ADDR1

ADDR2

TOWN

PROVINCE

POSTCODE

X and Y or LON and LAT

GNDHT

CONTACTFIRST

CONTACTLAST

MTTR

Following the header row, there is one line per Property containing these fields separated by tabs.

An example of an exported Properties file containing Easting & Northing co-ordinates is shown here:

Equipment Export and Import File Format

When you export equipment in ENTERPRISE, the information for the selected equipment is exported into a single text file. This file is tab-separated so you can easily edit it in Microsoft Excel and contains these sections:

A description of the equipment.

Header fields that describe each of the columns inside the text file.

The equipment data itself. This comprises all the fields from the database tables except for the Created and Last Modified fields.

Refer to the Database Reference Guide for descriptions of each field, for example in the Microwave Antenna section of the file, the field Polarisation Gain specifies the polarisation associated with the antenna, that is, horizontal (0), vertical (1) or cross polar (2) and is the field polarisation from the table MWANTENNATYPE.


Do not edit the long number strings contained in the file. These tell the software exactly what version of the equipment it is importing. For more tips on modifying the file, see Modifying the All Equipment File for Re-Import of Data.

This picture shows an example equipment file:

Coverage Arrays Import and Export

You can import and export coverage arrays in the following formats:

Format Files Extensions

Coverage (GSM MOU)

List of files Coverage Arrays (1 for each coverage type)

Filelist.txt AR01.mou and so on.


Coverage and Interference Arrays

ENTERPRISE can read and write coverage and interference arrays which saves time, particularly when working with large arrays. When you create an array in ENTERPRISE, it is stored in your User folders, as specified in the Modify Project dialog box, in binary format. Each file format has the same header section, followed by a sequential list of array elements.

There is a different array file element format for each type of array supported by this feature. The tables below document both the common file header format and the specific array element formats.

There are two versions of the header: Version 1 is applicable to ENTERPRISE 4.1 and older; Version 2 is applicable to ENTERPRISE 4.2 onwards.

Index File for Arrays

If you create an index file containing information about your arrays, you can then simultaneously load all of your arrays for a particular area.

The Index file, which is an ASCII text file, contains an entry for each array consisting of the filename followed by four integer values followed by the resolution information. A new line separates each entry.

Structure of Array Data File

An array data file has the following structure:

Common header section

(eastmin, northmax), (eastmin+1,northmax), for rest of row...

(eastmin, northmax -1), (eastmin+1, northmax -1), for rest of row...

(eastmin, northmax -2), (eastmin+1, northmax -2), for rest of row...

...

The size of each array element depends upon the array type defined in the header section. The number of elements can be determined from the geographic region defined in the header section. The total number of elements is calculated as follows:

Width (rows) = (Eastmax - Eastmin) / resolution

Height (columns) = (Northmax - Northmin) / resolution

Number of elements = Width x Height

Best Server Array Data Section

Simulation Array File Formats

There are two types of simulation array file:

3gr file - This is a proprietary file which contains a complete dump of the simulation. This file format is not described here.

3ga file - This file format is described in this topic.

These formats are also applicable to 2g simulations.

The advantages and disadvantages of the files are shown below:

3gr Files

Advantages Disadvantages

The fact that the file contains everything from the simulation means that you can load the file on a PC anywhere and run it, even if it is from a completely different database.

Because the file contains everything, it is large.

Can be loaded and saved from the Array Manager. You can only have one 3gr file loaded at any one time.

3ga Files

Advantages Disadvantages

Small file size. Cannot be used to rerun the simulator.

Simple, published file format. Only takes a copy of the information, which is useful for comparison purposes.

Can copy to the array clipboard from the Map View window by right-clicking the array name in the Data Types list. This can also be done using the Array Manager.

Copying to the array clipboard does not save the file, but just puts into memory. However, when it is in memory, you can save it using the Array Manager.

Contains information about an individual display, for example, Reasons for Failure.

You can have multiple files loaded simultaneously.

Can be loaded and saved from the Array Manager.

Interference Tables

Any ASSET interference table created in memory can be saved to disk for subsequent retrieval. The Interference table file format contains cell layer and sub-cell information.

Header Section

The format of the header section is:

Line 1 2 3 4 5

1 "Interference Table" <TAB> TIME [HH:MM:SS] <SP> DATE [DD/MM/YYYY]

2 Version: V2.0

3 KEYTYPE: DBKEY or IDNAME

This tells ENTERPRISE whether to use the cell names or database key numbers.

If this is DBKEY, ENTERPRISE looks for the cell key or layer key.

If this is IDNAME or anything else, ENTERPRISE looks for the Cell ID or Sub-cell layer ID.

If you are importing a project with XML, use IDNAME as the XML import will always change the keys.

4 NO_TRAFFIC_DATA - this is only needed if there is no traffic in the file.

5 Comments - can be a blank line.

Data Section

This section contains rows describing two different types of objects. Sub-cell entries describe the sub-cell that is being interfered with and contains the following tab-separated variables:

Field Name Type Description

SUBCELL CHAR “SUBCELL” indicates that the cell ID which follows is the serving cell.

Cell key INTEGER Unique identifier of the cell, used in the database.

Predictions

ENTERPRISE supports masked and unmasked prediction files.

A masked prediction is where the isotropic pathloss is masked with the corresponding antenna pattern for an individual transmitting antenna on a cell.

Unmasked prediction files are generated for propagation models which do not perform antenna masking internally. For certain types of models, unmasked prediction files may also be generated for propagation models that perform their antenna masking internally. In general, ray-tracing microcell models perform their own internal antenna masking.

ENTERPRISE prediction files use the following file extensions:

Masked prediction files - PLM

Unmasked prediction files - PLU

Correction files - PLC

There is a Prediction Access Module available, which allows programmatic access to the prediction files. For more information, please contact Product Support.

Traffic Raster

A traffic raster consists of two files with the same name but different extensions:

A .tri file for the geo-reference information

A .trr file for the actual traffic raster data

TRI File Format

This information is contained in the TRI file:


Header CHAR 15 (Line Feed) Traffic File V3

Xmin INT 4 Space-separated minimum X region co-ordinate

Ymin INT 4 Space-separated maximum X region co-ordinate

Xmax INT 4 Space-separated minimum Y region co-ordinate

Ymax INT 4 Space-separated maximum Y region co-ordinate

Region size INT 4 Resolution (square size) of array (metres)

Create User CHAR 32 Name of the person who created the file

Create Date/Time CHAR 32 Date when array was created

Memory Size

Switching Type INT 4 Type of traffic where:

Circuit switched traffic = 0

Packet switched traffic = 1

HSCSD traffic = 2

3g traffic = 3

CDMA2000 traffic = 4

No of Terminals INT 4 Number of terminals spread in array



Timestamp INT 10 (Line Feed) Date and time when the file was created

MBHCR Floating Point value

ascii

(Line Feed)

Mean Busy Hour Capacity Requirement (used for GPRS and EGPRS only)

Comments CHAR 255 Optional comments field

This picture shows an example of a TRI file:

TRR File Format

The TRR file stores raster data in binary format similar to that of height and clutter data. Each item of traffic must be an integer (four bytes):

Field Description

Traffic data Traffic data, in the following units:

Circuit switched traffic is in Timeslot Erlangs.

Packet switched traffic is in terminals.

HSCSD traffic is in User Erlangs.

3g traffic is in milli terminals per square km. To convert to terminals per pixel, multiply the area

represented by pixels in .

These values are traffic densities per pixel and not absolute traffic per pixel.

This picture shows an example TRR file:


Measurement Data File Formats

ASSET automatically converts measurement data files to vectors (that is, MapInfo format). The file conversion is performed from a file format-specific loader. The use of measurement data files is explained in the ASSET User Reference Guide.

The file formats explicitly supported in version 6.1 are:

Microsoft Office Access Database (*.mdb)

Signia CW (*.hd and *.dat)

TEMS (*.fmt)

Nemo Outdoor 4.x (*.dt?)

More file formats may be supported in future releases (by adding new loaders).

(The file formats that are no longer supported are Grayson-Invex3G, Grayson WMI, Rohde & Schwarz, TMR CW.)

This table describes the file formats for the measurement data files:

File Type Description

Microsoft Office Access® Database

For detailed information about the format of these files, please contact Product Support.

Signia CW Each survey consists of two ASCII text files:

The header file (survey.hd) details the information for the site being tested and the survey itself (survey.dat).

The data file (survey.dat) can contain any number of measurements, 1 line represents one measurement detailing longitude, latitude (decimal degrees) and received level (dBm).

TEMS FMT For detailed information about the format of these files, please contact Product Support.

Favourites Arrays Section

The array section is optional, but if used, allows the favourite to redisplay pre-saved arrays.



ARRAYNUM SHORT 2 Number of array files stored with this favourite

Dynamically calculated

Then, for each array file list item up to the ARRAYNUM value the following section is repeated:


Description

ARRAYFNAME CHAR 255 Array filename (no path)

ARRAYTYPE INT 4 Type of array stored in file. Currently supported types:

1 = Coverage

2 = Interference

3 = Traffic

User-Defined Fields

Fields are defined in the Administrator tool. To do this:

In ENTERPRISE Administrator, from the Utilities menu, click Field Definer. Select the project in which you want to create or edit fields and create them as required.

You can also export and import the fields in the Field Definer and the flags.txt file used is described here. In the field file format:

A format version number begins the file.

Each group is listed, followed by the type of field it is, and then, if it is a picklist, the different options for it.

You can import files containing picklist fields without their options, but you cannot commit these types of field until you have added the options.

Any lines not starting with GROUP, FIELDTYPE, FLAG, Associations, or ASSOCIATION (all case-sensitive) will terminate ANY import and cause an "invalid flag file" error.

You cannot associate fields with PmP hubs, sectors or carriers.

You can still import previous file formats.


An example field file is shown below:

Example field file format

The following formats are also supported:

Planet Flag Format

Live Traffic File Formats for 2g Networks

You can import measured traffic from a text file and use 'live' rather than 'estimated' traffic in traffic spreading. For GPRS and HSCSD, live traffic is the total traffic caused by any GPRS (or HSCSD) terminal types on sub-cells. Live HSCSD traffic is measured and distributed in Erlangs.

The live traffic file formats supported are:

Format File Type Contains

NMS 2000 *.nms Live NMS2000 traffic information

Can contain circuit-switched, HSCSD and GPRS traffic

Uses LAC and GSMID

GSM *.gts Live GSM traffic


Uses LAC, GSMID and Cell Layer Name

General Purpose *.tps GSM, Analog or PMR/TETRA/iDEN traffic


Uses CellID and Cell Layer Name

NMS File Format (*.nms)

The NMS file format is as shown here:

LAC white-space GSMID white-space CSTraffic white-space

HSCSDTraffic white-space GPRSTraffic

If there is no data for the CSTraffic or HSCSDTraffic or GPRSTraffic then the column must contain a - (hyphen).

GSM File Format (*.gts)

The GSM file format is as shown here:

LAC white-space GSMID white-space Cell Layer Name white-space

CSTraffic white-space HSCSDTraffic white-space GPRSTraffic

If there is no data for the CSTraffic or HSCSDTraffic or GPRSTraffic then the column must contain a - (hyphen).

TPS File Format (*.tps)

The TPS file format is a general purpose format which can contain GSM, EGPRS, PMR/TETRA/iDEN or AMPS live traffic. This file starts with this header:

# AIRCOM V1.0 Live Traffic File

And contains data in this format:

CELLID white-space Cell Layer Name white-space CSTraffic white-

space HSCSDTraffic white-space GPRSTraffic white-space

EGPRSTraffic


The HSCSD Traffic, GPRS Traffic and EGPRS columns may be left blank unless there is data in a later column, in which case they must contain a - (hyphen). This flexibility allows for network types that do not support HSCSD or GPRS, such as PMR/TETRA/iDEN or AMPS.

Ensure there are no spaces at the end of any of the rows (in particular, the header row), otherwise the import will fail.

Live Traffic File Formats for 3g Networks

You can import measured traffic from files and use 'live' rather than 'estimated' traffic in traffic spreading.

For 3g networks, there are two types of live traffic import files that can be used when creating a Traffic Raster:

*.tpc

*.cbc and *.cbd (used together)

These file types are described in the following section.

Live Traffic File Formats for WiMAX Networks

You can import measured traffic from files and use 'live' rather than 'estimated' traffic in traffic spreading.

For WiMAX (Fixed or Mobile) networks, there is one type of live traffic import file that can be used when creating a Traffic Raster:

*.tpc

About the *.tpc File Format

The file defines the number of terminals to spread for each cell. This file format is an extension of the ENTERPRISE general purpose live traffic import file (*.tps).

The file format is as follows:

The first row is the header

The second row contains the word 'cell' (or 'sector' if the traffic to be spread is CDMA2000 traffic), followed by the word 'Terminals'

The remaining rows then contain the traffic data to be spread. The format for each technology type are described in this table:

Technology Format

UMTS UMTS Cell Name (white-space) UMTS Traffic (Terminals)

CDMA2000 CDMA2000 Sector Name (white-space) CDMA2000 Traffic (Terminals)

EV-DO UMTS Cell Name (white-space) UMTS Traffic (Terminals)

WiMAX WiMAX Cell Name (white-space) WiMAX Traffic (Terminals)

For all these technologies, the units of traffic is Terminals.

About the Bearer Traffic File Formats (*.cbc / *.cbd)

The bearer file format consists of two files which both share the same filename but differ in file extension. The first extension is a *.cbc (cell bearer configuration) file which defines what is contained in the *.cbd (cell bearer data) file.

The file format is case-insensitive and a version header check is performed for both formats.

When you choose to select a bearer traffic file, you browse for the *.cbc file only.

The *.cbc file chooses between one of two naming methods (String/Number):

String refers to matching by UMTS Cell Identity "NodeB1A"

Number refers to the combination of RNC ID and UMTS Cell ID from the network combined with a ":" delimiter. For example "1234:4567".

The *.cbc file is necessary to provide a lookup table to map between the name of the bearer from the network and with the planning tool. The *.cbc file format allows a '-' instead of a Bearer ID to mean just ignore that column.


There is an indication of number of bearers that exist in the lookup table:

Cell Bearer Configuration File

V1

Naming Method String

Bearers 5

Network-bearer1 Bearer1





The *.cbd file consists of a table of bearer traffic values for each cell. The *.cbd file is automatically loaded and a check is made to ensure that it exists.

If five bearers are defined in the *.cbc file, then there should be five bearer data columns in the *.cbd file. If the number of bearer data columns do not match the number specified in the *.cbc file, then an error dialog box aborts the import process.

This picture shows an example cbd file:

Cell Bearer Data File V1

Cell net-bearer1 net-bearer2 net-bearer3 net-bearer4 net-bearer5

NodeB1a 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.3

NodeB1b 2.4 2.4 2.4 2.4 2.4

NodeB1c 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5

NodeB2a 4.6 4.6 4.6 4.6 4.6

NodeB2b 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.7

NodeB2c 6.8 6.8 6.8 6.8 6.8

NodeB3a 7.9 7.9 7.9 7.9 7.9

NodeB3b 9.0 9.0 9.0 9.0 9.0

NodeB3c 10.1 10.1 10.1 10.1 10.1

A *.cbd file should contain only be one row per cell.


During an import:

If duplication is detected, then a warning appears in the message log, for example, “CellXXX: Skipping duplicate bearer traffic data.”

If missing values are detected, then a value of 0.00 Erlangs is assumed, and a warning appears in the message log, for example, “CellXXX: BearerXXX traffic not specified. Defaulting to 0.0”.

If there are no data values for the bearers, then a value of 0 is assumed, and a warning appears in the message log, for example: “CellXXX: BearerXXX traffic not specified. Defaulting to 0”.


The cell matching criteria will vary according to the Naming Method specified in the *.cbc file.

If no match occurs between the Cell ID and that in the database, a warning message appears in the message log, for example: “CellXXX: Failed to import traffic. Cell does not exist.”.

Because multiple network bearers can map to the same tool bearer, a total for each tool bearer is generated.

As there can be up to 15,000 cells contained in the *.cbd file, a progress bar with an Abort button appears if the processing contains more than XXXX cells. XXXX is determined during testing to appear after 2 seconds.


XML File Formats

This chapter provides a full and detailed description of the XML file format used in ENTERPRISE as well as a description of the constraints on exporting and importing.

In This Section

Getting Started with XML 69 About the XML Index File 70 Handling Import Conflicts 71 Editing XML Files 72 Special Character Sets 74 XML Project File Formats 74 XML Configuration File Formats 188 XML ADVANTAGE File Formats 267

Getting Started with XML

To get you started, the following information gives some helpful pointers of some of the formats used.

General XML Formats

A standard XML shorthand for indicating that the tag is empty is shown as <antenna/>

A start tag must have a matching end tag

There must be no overlapping tags, that is a tag that opens inside another tag must be closed before the containing tag closes

ENTERPRISE Specific XML Formats

RO in a tag indicates it is read-only and can only be used for export.

For example, <DTM-RO> is using the DTM from the Map Data, and hence is read-only. However not all tags where this is true have RO in the tag.

If the tag <ACT-DTM> contains -9999.000000 that indicates that the DTM will be used instead

A P P E N D I X C


About the XML Index File

The XML Importer recognises the index file as being a file with the word INDEX (capitalized) in its name, for example myINDEXfile.xml,INDEX.xml and _INDEX-001.xml.

This means that any files that contain project or config data should not contain INDEX in the file name. However, lower case or title case variations are allowed, so the following names would be acceptable: PROPERTY-LIST-index.xml, MSC Index.xml and CELLS iNdEx.xml.

The index file is not compulsory to perform the selection of .xml files to import. You can do one of these:

Select just the INDEX file.

Select a multiple selection of xml data files.

Select data files and the INDEX file together.

However, if you do select data files and the index file together, the XML Importer would be expecting the index file to refer to a different selection of files than those data files selected at the same time. Duplicate selections are ignored, for example, if the selection made from the import dialog is this:

PROPERTY-LIST001.xml

MSC-LIST001.xml

BSC-LIST001.xml

INDEX001.xml

And the index file also points to the other 3 files selected, then it will be ignored.

How Do I Reference Data Files in the Index File?

Data files can be referenced by the INDEX file using absolute or relative network path names, for example: <?xml version="1.0"?>

<INDEX>

<GSM-CELL-LIST FILENAME="johns cells.xml"/>

<GSM-CELL-LIST FILENAME="c:\xml\mikes cells.xml"/>

<GSM-CELL-LIST FILENAME="\\steve\share\steves cells.xml"/>

<GSM-CELL-LIST FILENAME="\\andy\xml\andys cells.xml"/>

</INDEX>

Each element within the INDEX element should be named after a data list, being the root tag of an ENTERPRISE XML file, such as:

GSM-CELL-LIST

MSC-LIST

NODEB-LIST


Handling Import Conflicts

All importing data is identified by its unique ID attribute. If this ID already exists in the project into which you are importing, the XML Importer will give you the choice of the following:

Leave - Skip the import of this particular object.

Merge - Import all object‟s fields present in the XML file to existing object. Fields not listed will be ignored.

Stop -Terminate import at this point without importing current object.

Replace - Resets existing object‟s data to default initial values then imports all object‟s fields present in the XML file to existing object. Fields not present in the XML file will be ignored and will remain as default initial values.

Replace does not delete objects. For example, importing an empty list (for example, <PROPERTY-LIST/>) will NOT remove all Properties.

XML Import Errors

If you encounter any of the errors described in this section, and you choose to ignore them, you will have the option to Apply to All. If you select this option, then all occurrences of the currently conflicting type will be acted upon in the same manner.

The following errors are possible:

Error Description

Object Missing ID All importing objects are identified via an ID, which is generally situated as an attribute to the element‟s root tag, for example:

<NODE-B ID=”QX_1098LM”>

If the ID is omitted, the element will not be imported.

Permission Required If a user does not have sufficient database privileges granted to edit or create a particular object, then they will also be prevented from importing that object type via the XML Importer.

Database Error If a database error occurs during the import of an object, you are notified and given the option to stop the import.

Dependency Not Found If an element‟s existence in a project is logically or physically dependent upon another parent element, the import might fail if either:

The ID of the parent is omitted from the XML import file

The ID of the parent is not found in the current project


What are the Network Dependencies?

This table describes the network dependencies:

Element Dependencies

BSC MSC, Property

Cell Site BSC, Property

Distribution Node BSC, Property

GSM Cell Cell Site

Repeater GSM Cell, Property

Wideband Repeater Cell, Property

CDMA Repeater CDMA Sector, Property

Cell Node

WMSC, RNC, SGSN Log Net PLMN, Property

PtP Intercon Property (End A & End B)

PmP Intercon Property (End A & End B)

PmP Hub Property

PtPLinkend PtPIntercon, Property

PtPHubLinkend PtPIntercon, Property

Editing XML Files

You can edit the exported XML files in any manner if the hierarchy of the elements will remain correct. Any non-required elements or attributes can be omitted if the remaining structure will be preserved.

Importing XML - Example 1

The following will successfully import a new property to a blank project, setting the Contact to John, if John exists as a contact in the Project Configuration: <?xml version="1.0"?>

<PROPERTY-LIST ENTERPRISE-XML-VERSION="1">

<PROPERTY ID="NewProperty">

<CONTACT>John</CONTACT>

<LOCATION TYPE="ABS" UNIT="decLL">†

<X>-7.889</X>

<Y>49.67152</Y>

</LOCATION>

</PROPERTY>

</PROPERTY-LIST>



This example shows the operations occurring separately for 2 cell sites but they could be done in one operation.

Site0 currently exists logically on BSC0 in the Project and Site1 exists physically on Property1. Importing the following via a Merge will re-parent Site0 to BSC1 and relocate Site1 to Property0:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <CELL-SITE-LIST ENTERPRISE-XML-VERSION="1">

<CELL-SITE ID="Site0"><PARENT>BSC1</PARENT></CELL-SITE>

<CELL-SITE ID="Site1"><PROPERTY>PROPERTY2</PROPERTY></CELL-SITE>

</CELL-SITE-LIST>

If Replace was the import option then all other data would revert to initial/default values. Merging will not affect any other data.


The following is imported using Merge. Before importing, Cell Site0A is using the Antenna defined by Slot 101 (antenna_Y). The import will alter the slot to be using the antenna which referred to by slot 967 (antenna_X).

The actual slot number is not used due to the fact that slots used in the cell layer ANTENNA-CONFIG refer to slots available as specified by the cell ANTENNA-CONFIG. The slot numbers are implied by the order they are listed by the ANTENNA-CONFIG at the cell level.

In addition, the layer GSM-Default specifies that the propagation model should be over-ridden at the layer level. <?xml version="1.0"?>

<GSM-CELL-LIST ENTERPRISE-XML-VERSION="2">

<GSM-CELL ID="Site0A">

<ANTENNA-CONFIG>



<ANTENNA SLOT=”967”><TYPE>antenna_X</TYPE></ANTENNA>

<ANTENNA/>

<ANTENNA SLOT=”101”><TYPE>antenna_Y</TYPE></ANTENNA>

</ANTENNA-CONFIG>

<SUBCELL ID="GSM-Default">

<MODEL>New Model</MODEL>

<OVERRIDE_MODEL>ModelOn</OVERRIDE_MODEL>

<ANTENNA-CONFIG>



<SLOT USE=”NO”>101</SLOT>

<SLOT USE=”YES”>967</SLOT>

</ANTENNA-CONFIG>

</SUBCELL>

</GSM-CELL>

</GSM-CELL-LIST>


Special Character Sets

For European languages using characters outside the normal English character set, the processing instruction should contain the following encoding attribute: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Examples of special characters are ë, á, å and so on.

XML Project File Formats

This section describes the XML project file formats for the network elements in ENTERPRISE.

Template XML files are not specifically detailed here. This is because they are cut down versions of the main XML files. The exceptions to this are cell sites', nodes' and CDMA2000 BSs' XML files which as well as containing their own data, also contain cut down versions of the cell data associated with those types.

Property XML File Format

The following table describes the XML file format for Properties:

Required Tags ID attribute

Comments The LOCATION block has two attributes :

TYPE = ABS | REL

UNIT = decLL | LL | EN

And the X and Y co-ordinates should reflect the units specified.

The <E> and <N> tags exported by ENTERPRISE Version 4.0 are still supported, hence no change in version number.

If this block is omitted from the PROPERTY, the default co-ordinates of 0.0,0.0 will be used.

MAST-MOUNT can be Rooftop (1), Wall (3), Pole (2), Ground (0)

Enumerated Values CANDSTATUS

[CANDIDATE | NOMINAL | PREFERRED | NOT_USED]

Exporting Projection Datums

If in the Property Options dialog box, the option to export LOCATION data as WGS84 is selected, then all X-Y locations are converted to WGS84 in the XML output if displayed as LL or DLL. When re-imported, if the DATUM attribute exists with the following value in the root element then the XML Importer will attempt to convert from WGS84 to the current project datum:

<PROPERTY-LIST ENTERPRISE-XML-VERSION="1" DATUM="WGS84">

GSM/AMPS Cell Site XML File Format

The following table describes the XML file format for GSM/AMPS cell sites:



Comments Reparenting - The PARENT element should contain the ID of a valid BSC existing in the project. If the CellSite exists in the project already and the BSC element differs from that which it is currently situated on, it will be logically relocated to the specified BSC. The same goes for the MSC element (AMPS network).

Relocating - If the PROPERTY element differs from the CellSite‟s property in the project, the CellSite will be relocated to the specified Property.

PARENT not specified - If the parent element is omitted but the CellSite does not already exist in the project, a dummy BSC will be created and added to the project at the location specified by the BSC‟s PROPERTY element. In addition, if a suitable MSC is not found in the project by the XML Importer, one will be created for the BSC to parent.

MSC not specified - If the analogue MSC is not specified by the XML, a dummy will be created for the cellsite to parent to.

GSM/AMPS Cell XML File Format

The following table describes the XML file format for GSM/AMPS cells:


PARENT element

Comments Reparenting - not supported.

Relocating - not supported.

Cell Antennas - The order the antennas appear as child-elements of the Cell will be the order they are inserted to the slots. If an empty antenna block precedes a full antenna block, that is:

<GSM-CELL ID=”CELL01”>

<ANTENNA-CONFIG>

<ANTENNA SLOT=”101”>

<TYPE>A</TYPE>

</ANTENNA>

<ANTENNA/>

<ANTENNA SLOT=”967”>

<TYPE>B</TYPE>

</ANTENNA>

</ANTENNA-CONFIG>

</GSM-CELL>

then the following will occur with the antenna types :

NEW or REPLACE IMPORT: A = slot 1, B = slot 2

MERGE IMPORT : A = slot 1, B = slot 3 (if slots > 2, else B = slot 2)

The above data is merged with existing data, then antenna type A will be slot 1, and type B will be slot 3, skipping slot 2.

Sub-Cell Antenna Configuration - The Antenna-Config block nested within the sub cell does not contain the antenna specifics but only whether they are used. The slot data (ie. „101‟ and „967‟) are numerical cross-references used to tie up with the slot configuration on the parent cell. They must not contain any alpha-characters.

LMU XML File Format

The following table describes the XML file format for LMUs:

Required Tags ID attribute or BSC and CELL-SITE elements together.

Comments The LOCATION block has two attributes :

TYPE = ABS | REL

UNIT = decLL | LL | EN

and the X and Y co-ordinates should reflect the units specified.

For the LMU element, all location groupings will default to REL type with EN, though the user can change to ABS and use a different UNIT if required when importing.

BCF, BSC applies to an LMU under GSM cellsites. CELL-SITE becomes NODEB and GSM-CELL becomes UMTS-CELL for LMU under UMTS cells.

Enumerated Values HEIGHT-MODE

Services XML Configuration File Format

The following table describes the XML configuration file format for services:


TECH attribute

Comments Each of the sample services below belongs to a different technology type. The xml exporter will only generate the necessary elements that applied to the technology type or the traffic characteristics.

0 or more <SERVICE> elements can exist. The attribute TECH value must be one of the enumerated values otherwise the service will failed to import.

<CARRIER-PRIORITIES> element list is the supported carriers list, ordered by priority. The ID attribute of element <CARRIER> must matched to the pre-defined carriers 1..32 in the project.

<UL-BEARER-PRIORITIES> element list is the supported carriers list. Each supported carrier can have a list of supported bearers, ordered by priority. The bearer attribute ID value must exist already or have been imported otherwise the bearer will not be assigned to the carrier on import. The same applied to element <DL-BEARER-PRIORITIES>.

Some elements only apply to the selected traffic type. Those are identified by a comment in the sample below.

If a service failed to be imported, a message giving the cause of the failure can be found in the message log.

Antenna Diagram File Format

ENTERPRISE must first import antenna diagrams before they can be used within the application. A header section begins the antenna file that must contain at a minimum the antenna name field. The complete list of fields is given below:

Field Description

NAME Antenna name

MAKE Make / manufacturer

FREQUENCY Frequency (MHz)

H_WIDTH Horizontal beamwidth (degrees)

V_WIDTH Vertical beamwidth (degrees)

POLARIZATION This will be one of:

POL_V (vertical polarisation)

POL_H (horizontal polarisation)

POL_X (cross polarisation)

FRONT_TO_BACK Front to back ratio (dB)

GAIN Antenna gain (dBi)

You must enter the value followed by a space followed by dBi

TILT Tilt type (ELECTRICAL / MECHANICAL / CROSS POLAR)

COMMENTS Additional comments up to a maximum of 127 characters.

After the header are two sections prefixed with the name of the particular pattern that will be described, that is, HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL, and the number of points. The number of points need not equal 360.

Each successive row then contains the following variables separated by a space:

Field Description

Angle Angle of data point from the main forward beam direction – anticlockwise (degrees).

Loss Relative to the maximum (dB).


Example Antenna File

An example antenna file is shown below:

NAME 085_2_18

MAKE AntennasRUs

FREQUENCY 900

H_WIDTH 85

V_WIDTH 10

FRONT_TO_BACK 0

POLARIZATION POL_X

GAIN 18 dBi

TILT MECHANICAL

COMMENTS Standard 85-degree antenna

HORIZONTAL 360

0.0 0.0

1.0 0.0

2.0 0.0

....

353.0 0.1

354.0 0.1

358.0 0.1

359.0 0.0

VERTICAL 360

0.0 0.4

1.0 0.0

3.0 1.1

...

355.0 25.4

356.0 16.5

359.0 2.3

The final row is terminated by a carriage return. No additional data should be present after the pattern section, as this will be ignored.


Miscellaneous Vendors Carriers File Format

ENTERPRISE can import and export EET R2C / Planet 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 GSM carrier databases.

The file formats described here are version 2.8.

The Carriers file is in a simple ASCII space-delimited text format.

EET/Planet AMPS Carriers File Format

For AMPS, the EET/Planet Carriers file contains the following fields. The first three fields are tab-separated and the remaining fields are separated by spaces:


Site ID CHAR Alphanumeric site identity. This must be the same as the site ID in the Site Database file.

About the Mask Structure for Cell and Interference Data Files

The carrier and interference files for CellOpt AFP contain a mask column. The Mask column, plus the Mnemonic and Model columns, prefixes the data portion in the file format.

The Mask column defines which items in the record are valid for the message, and includes the Model and Mask column as items, but not the Mnemonic column.

If a bit is turned on (indicated by 1), then that data field's value is used; if the bit is turned off (indicated by 0), then the data field value is not used.

For example, a mask might consist of:

Mnemonic Model Mask Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4 Data5 Data6

If the Model, Mask, Data1, Data3 and Data6 field are used, then the binary mask value will be 10010111, which is read from right to left as follows:

Model = 1

Mask = 1

Data1 = 1

Data2 = 0

Data3 = 1

Data4 = 0

Data5 = 0

Data6 = 1

This then converts to a decimal value of 151.

Antenna Calculations

This section describes the antenna calculations made in the ENTERPRISE suite of products. Additional calculations made by other products are described in that individual product's User Reference Guide.

Calculation of Free Space Loss

The Free Space Loss (FSL) used in antenna algorithms is calculated as follows:

Where:

F is the frequency (MHz)

D is the distance (km)

A P P E N D I X E


Calculation of EiRP and ERP

EiRP is calculated as follows:

EiRP = PAPower - cellEquipmentLoss - feederLoss + antennaG + antennaCorrectionFactor + cellCorrection

Where:

feederLoss is (feederLength * feederLossPerMeter) + feederConnectionLoss

antennaG is antennaGain (+ 2.14 if the gain is in dBd)

ERP = EiRP - 2.14

Antenna Tilt and Masking Calculations

This section describes the algorithms used to calculate the loss due to the antenna mask and the effects of mechanical tilt.

Calculation of Antenna Mask in an Arbitrary Direction

Antenna mask information is generally supplied by manufacturers in the form of a simple text file containing measured loss values relative to the maximum gain of the antenna. The measurements are taken on two sets of points lying on circles in two orthogonal planes. The horizontal mask represents a set of loss values taken at the angle of electrical downtilt, that is the angle at which the vertical masking loss is 0 dB. For example, if the vertical masking pattern has its 0 dB loss at a downward angle of 3 degrees, then the horizontal mask represents a set of measurements taken at points at a downward angle of 3 degrees from the antenna.

The two sets of measured loss values provide only a simplistic representation of the actual radiation from the antenna and some interpretation of these measurements is required to estimate the loss at other angles. This is done as follows:

Horizontal and vertical mask patterns and have their losses measured in

dB. The angles (azimuth) and (elevation) are spherical-polar angles measured in

degrees and lying in the ranges and . The vertical

masking pattern has its 0 dB loss at an angle .

A masking-loss function can be constructed that is based on a linear combination of the front and rear ends of the vertical masking pattern, weighted by

the azimuth angle :


This function does not give the correct result on the horizontal plane where

is required . This can be corrected by a simple normalisation as follows:

Checking the Properties of Gnorm

For points in the plane of the front vertical mask the correct result is obtained:

since

For points in the plane of the rear vertical mask the correct result is obtained:

since .

For points at the angle of electrical down tilt the correct result is obtained:

.


Calculation of Antenna Mask for Symmetrical and Non-symmetrical Mask Styles

If you are using a microwave antenna defined with a symmetrical mask, it is easy to calculate the loss at any point. To do this:

Take the horizontal and vertical angle of an incoming vector, and calculate the 3-dimensional angle between that vector and the direction vector of the antenna.

This is the same as rotating the mask around its y-axis.

Rotating an antenna around its y-axis

Based on this symmetrical antenna mask, the effective 3d pattern would look something like this:

3D Pattern for Symmetrical Antenna Mask


The centre of the graph (from -90 to 90) shows the loss at the front of the antenna and the sides of the graph show the loss at the rear of the antenna.

However, if you are using a microwave antenna defined with non-symmetrical masks, one representing the horizontal plane and one representing the vertical plane, then these must be interpolated to create the 3d mask. This typically happens with sectorised antennas in a point to multi-point system.

The formula used to interpolate these is as follows:

(1)

Where:

is the horizontal masking angle (+ive is clockwise)

is the vertical masking angle (-ive is down)

is the angle of electrical downtilt (where loss is 0.0db)

is the horizontal mask

is the vertical mask

is the interpolated mask

And the properties are:

This is based on the assumption that the horizontal mask represents values at the

angle of the electrical downtilt ( ). This means that the masks must satisfy:


For example, take the following antenna patterns:

Example antenna patterns


The interpolation would produce the following 3d pattern:

Calculation of Tilted Antennas

To correctly calculate the effects of mechanical tilt, the location of the mobile relative to that of the antenna in terms of both vertical and horizontal planes must be considered. It is assumed that if the antenna is electrically tilted then this effect is already included in the antenna pattern supplied, that is the vertical mask will have a 0 dB loss at some non-zero angle.

Consider a TX antenna at the origin (0, 0, 0) with azimuth angle and downtilt

angle . Let the world co-ordinate system be (x, y, z) where z = height, and the

antenna co-ordinate system ( ). The horizontal and vertical antenna masks

are defined in the and planes respectively.

To define spherical polar co-ordinates (r, , ) for the world co-ordinate system:

(1)


and a similar system of spherical polar co-ordinates (r, ) for the antenna co-ordinate system:

(2)

Cartesian co-ordinates in the two systems are related by the following transformation:

(3)

Substituting (1) and (2) into (3) gives expressions relating to as follows:

Thus given a point (x, y, z) in the world co-ordinate system, you can derive the

azimuth and elevation of the point in the antenna co-ordinate system.

Line of Sight and Non Line of Sight Paths

For line of sight paths (LOS), antenna masks are applied based on the elevation ( ) of the RX with respect to the TX.

For non-LOS paths, the masks are applied by considering the elevation ( ) of the diffracting peak closest to the TX. This diagram shows non-LOS tilt calculations:

Non LOS Tilt Calculations


Antenna Hopping Calculations

Antenna hopping is a transmit diversity scheme in which consecutive bursts of information are transmitted on different antennas. When antennas are exposed to a different multipath fading, a diversity gain is achieved.

This gain figure is applied to interference calculations in arrays and frequency planning, specifically Worst Connection, Average Connection and LMU C/I arrays.

Antenna Hopping Gain Calculation

The antenna gain ( ) for each subcell is calculated as follows:

)

Where:

is the Frequency Hopping gain

is the number of Frequency Hopping carriers

is the number of antennas used by the subcell, always assumed to be 2

Antenna Hopping Array Calculation

If antenna hopping is enabled in the Array Settings dialog box, then the specified antenna hopping gain figure is applied to the C/I calculations. This changes the C/I calculation to:

Where :

is the Antenna Hopping gain

is the C/I ratio for a frequency (i)

is the signal strength from frequency (i) for the serving cell

is the interfering cell

is the signal strength from frequency (i) for the interfering cell K


Diffraction Calculations

The extension of a single knife-edge diffraction model to two or more obstacles is not simple. To increase the speed of calculation it is possible to specify a distance under which knife-edges are merged into a single one.

An exact solution is mathematically complex and because of this, a number of different approximations have been developed which are now widely used. You can choose from various diffraction algorithms.

Terrain Averaging

In most cases, terrain averaging gives enough of an accurate estimation for diffraction loss. It gives quite good estimation values when there is a single 'average' obstacle (neither sharp nor rounded) that blocks most of the first Fresnel zone.

The formula that is used in the calculations is:

Where:

is the diffraction loss in dB

h is the height difference in metres between most significant path blockage and path trajectory

is the radius (in metres) of the first Fresnel ellipsoid

This formula gives fairly accurate answers when the blockage is huge (greater than 15 dB, that is the first Fresnel ellipsoid is totally blocked).

More information on terrain averaging can be found in ITU-R P.530-7 recommendation, Propagation Data and Prediction Methods Required for the Design of Terrestrial Line-Of-Sight Systems, 1997, pp. 1-25.

Knife Edge Models

Objects protruding into the first Fresnel zone will cause significant diffraction effects. By using certain models, diffraction loss or gain at the receiver can be calculated. Knife edge models give a more accurate estimation for obstruction loss when the obstacle is sharp and inside the first Fresnel zone.

Use knife edge models when there is more than one obstacle inside the first Fresnel zone (rounded or sharp). Knife edge models will be automatically used to calculate the obstruction loss when the obstacles impede the line of sight.

When the obstacles do not impede the line of sight, the Terrain Averaging method will be automatically used to calculate obstruction loss. When there is only one obstacle, you should use the Terrain Averaging model.


Bullington Method

The Bullington method calculates the diffraction loss over multiple obstructions by considering a single equivalent knife-edge positioned at the point of intersection of the transmitter and receiver horizon paths. The total diffraction loss is taken as that over the equivalent knife-edge obstruction.

Referring to the picture below, the horizon path from transmitter T intersects with obstruction O1 and continues upwards; similarly, the horizon path from receiver R intersects with obstruction O2 and continues upwards. At the point where these two paths intersect, a knife edge is created.

Advantages

This method is simple.

Disadvantages

Significant obstacles can be ignored, which leads to an optimistic estimate of field strength. This method often gives too small values for obstruction loss where there is more than one obstacle inside the first Fresnel zone.

Illustration of Bullington Method


Epstein-Peterson Method

The Epstein Peterson technique is based on the assumption that the total loss can be evaluated as the sum of attenuation due to each respective significant obstruction.

Referring to the picture below, the diffraction loss from the obstacle is calculated by assuming that the receiver is at the second obstruction (T-O1-O2). The loss from the second obstacle is then calculated assuming the transmitter is at the first obstruction and the receiver at the third (O1-O2-O3). Finally, the loss from a transmitter at the second obstacle to the receiver (O2-O3-R) is calculated. The total Epstein-Peterson diffraction loss is given by the sum of all the losses calculated.

Advantages

This method does not ignore important obstacles in the way that the Bullington method might, but to some extent it still suffers from underestimating the path loss.

When the obstacles are widely separated, this method gives more accurate values than Deygout.

Disadvantages

This method often gives too small values for obstructions loss where there are obstacles close to each other and inside the first Fresnel zone.

Illustration of Epstein-Peterson Method


Japanese Atlas Method

This method is not commonly used in trs planning.

The Japanese Atlas technique is similar to the Epstein-Peterson method and was proposed by the Japanese postal service. Again it is based on the assumption that the total loss can be evaluated as the sum of attenuation due to each obstruction. However, in contrast to the Epstein-Peterson method, the effective source is not the top of the preceding obstruction but the projection of the horizon ray for the obstruction to a point on the vertical plane through one of the terminals.

Referring to the diagram, the total loss is given by the sum of losses for T-O1-O2, T‟-O2-O3 and T‟‟-O3-R.

Advantages

This method gives improved results when the obstructions are closely spaced.

Disadvantages

To some extent this method still suffers from underestimating the path loss.

Illustration of Japanese Atlas Method


Deygout Method

The Deygout technique calculates a „v-parameter‟ for each edge, the one with the largest is termed the main edge and its loss calculated in the standard way. Additional losses for other obstructions are calculated between the main edge and the obstructed terminal. The total Deygout loss is given by the sum of all losses calculated.

In order to extend the technique to many obstructions, it is necessary to employ sub-main edges. These are the next most significant edges at either side of the main edge. The loss from the sub-main-edge is calculated assuming a hypothetical terminal located at the main-edge (ignoring any less significant edges).

Advantages

This method provides accurate results where there are two obstructions, with one being clearly dominant. For three or four obstructions, the Deygout method gives the best results of any of the approximate methods.

Disadvantages

Where there is no dominant edge, the Deygout method tends to overestimate the loss.

Where there are several equal obstacles inside the first Fresnel zone or close to each other, this method underestimates the obstruction loss.
