Key ConsiderationsProject Settings
On the General tab, if you want to save project display settings, associate a
workspace (.wor) file with the Mentum Planet project.
On the Geodata tab, specify the geodata settings respecting the required
folder structure.
On the Coordinate System tab, ensure that the units are defined
appropriately and that you use units consistently across the project.
On the Folders tab, specify the Bin or Prediction View folders on a central
server if you want to save disk space locally.
On the Mobile Speeds tab, specify the mobile speeds to be used
throughout the project
On the Advanced Options tab, if you are using Data Manager, enablesharing permissions. When a file type is shared (i.e., the check box is
enabled), the absolute path to the data is stored in Data Manager.
On the Custom List and Custom Data tab, you can pre-define customer
attribute that can be further assigned to different project elements.

Project SettingsConfiguring a Mentum Planet Project
Mentum Planet fully supports
User Mobility.
Mobile speed values are used
when you define subscriber
types in the Subscriber Settingsdialog box. Each usage type is
associated with a mobile speed.
Mobile speeds are also used
when you define modulations in
the Network Settings dialog box.
The impact of the mobile speed
is greater at higher
modulations.

Different names have been given to this concept: survey prediction tool,
measurement-based predictions, path-loss tuning, etc.
All techniques relate to the same solution
Use measurement data where its available
Use predictions where measurement data is not available
Use interpolation of both in-between
What you obtain in the end is a propagation prediction that is better than
both a regular prediction and measurement data
Typical accuracy levels you can reach are
0 dB if you use the same data to generate and evaluate!
Typically 3 to 5 dB RMS depending on the proportion of available drive test

IntroductionDefining a Data Manager Workflow
1 From the Data Manager Administrator, obtain the necessary User ID and password.
2 Connect to Data Manager and perform a Get to copy the project stored on the server to your local workstation.
3
In Data Manager, lock the sites and settings you will be modifying. This avoids others submitting changes while you
work on your area. To make this easier, create a filter by choosing View
Filter.
4
Modify your local project as required. Ideally, you have been assigned a defined group or your area has beenidentified using specific flags or a specific site set.
5
On a regular and fairly frequent basis, connect to Data Manager and choose Synchronize to copy any modificationsto the master Data Manager project to your local workstation and, simultaneously, to submit any changes your havemade locally to the Data Manager so they are available to other users.
6
Once you are satisfied with your project, you can upload modifications you have made locally to the Data Managerby choosing Submit to Data Manager.

SubscribersDefining
Different types of subscribers using different
services and equipment require different subscriber
definitions.

Subscriber Editor
The subscriber manager in
4.5 is replaced by thesubscriber editor
The concept of the
subscriber type remains
unchanged. Theworkflows for defining
and editing subscriber
equipment, services and
subscriber type aregreatly simplified and
improved.

WCDMA Subscriber Equipment
Subscriber equipment is defined
in the same fashion as in 4.5. Several changes are made to
improve usability
The body loss is no longer aequipment property, butspecified under service settings
Radio bearers defined innetwork settings are listed in atabular format
R99/HSPA/HSDPA/HSPA+terminal category can beselected (with Ec/Nt setting
defined in network setting) All Bearers, can be individually
enabled/ disabled for differentequipment configurations

SubscribersUnderstanding Input Load
The input load is amount traffic contributed by one subscriber
from using a given service
The type of service and usage pattern determines input load
per subscriber
The input load and traffic map together determine the
number of active subscribers in each Monte Carlo simulation
run
Input load is quantified by Erlang per subscriber and
Throughput per subscriber
For packet data call, input load may be determined according to its call profile

SubscribersUnderstanding Activity Factors
A packet data call consists a number of packet transmissions. The
two consecutive packets are separated by the packet inter-arrival
time. Therefore, transmission of data packets is not continuous.
From the RF point view, the radio channel is active during packet
transmission, and, inactive during the packet inter-arrival time,when no packet is transmitted (although from network point of
view, the user is still in active state until a timeout period is
reached).
The activity factor is defined as the percentage of time when radio
channel transmits on downlink/uplink.
DL and UL activity factors are used in sector throughput and
interference calculation

SubscribersDefining DL/UL Activity Factor
For a circuit switched voice service, the activity factor is typically
40% to 50%
For packet switched data service, the activity factor varies with
applications and radio bearers used to support the service
The DL/UL activity factors in the Planet service settings should bedefined according to the lowest DL/UL bearer service data rates
that are allowed for the service.
The Planet analysis algorithm automatically scales activity factor
when the served by a higher data rate bearer. The asymmetry nature of the packet data service can be modeled
by specifying different DL and UL activity factors

SubscribersUnderstanding Usage Weightings
Subscribers in different environment may experience different radio signal fading and losses Planet defines four environment types that can be assigned individually to each clutter class
The usage weightings determine the traffic distribution in different environment types
