Network Overlay Tool • Simplifies the creation of an LTE overlay on an existing 2G or 3G network • Supports initial creation on ongoing updates of the overlay from the underlying 2G/3G network • Supports all technologies including CDMA/EV-DO, GSM, WCDMA/HSPA, WiMAX, and LTE

7

Traffic Map Management • Provides detailed modeling of how and where subscribers utilize the network – A critical input for accurate network performance modeling

• Traffic map generation distributes measured or modeled traffic • Support for multiple traffic maps for various traffic scenarios & services • Detailed subscriber modeling – Defines how subscribers access the network (services, priorities, user equipments) 8

Traffic Maps Sector Display Schemes for Network Data

10

Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data

Instant Graphical Statistics based on imported network data: “Top Ten Drop Call Sectors Bar Graph” and ”Top 30 Sectors Carried Traffic Line graph” Any two columns can be defined for running statistics in Bar, Line or Point formats

11

Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data

• Using Network Data allows us to import and create traffic data based on Switch or Network Statistics for use in Mentum Planet

12

Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data

• Using Network Data as traffic data input and apply clutter weight for the traffic map generation.

13

Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data

• Use pre-bound network data and traffic spreading algorithm.

14

Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data

• Based on Sector Service Probabilities algorithm:

Traffic Maps Social Media and Geolocalization

• •

Ability to leverage social media information in traffic map generation Ability to leverage geolocated measurements in traffic map generation

•

•

•

Geolocated by Mentum Planet geolocation engine Or geolocated by 3rd-party geolocation engine

Changing the analysis area Creating a custom area

Make your Cosmetic layer editable, so that your drawing toolbar becomes available

20

Changing the analysis area Creating a custom area

Use any of the polygon tools to draw a specific shape on your map window, then use the Select tool and click on it 21

Changing the analysis area Creating a custom area

This process will create a GRC file with a value of “Downtown” inside the selected polygon and NULL elsewhere. 22

Layer Statistics Generating

31

Changing the analysis area Choosing your area of interest

Statistics will be calculated only within the region chosen in the Analysis Area drop-down menu. New areas can be created by using the Areas function under the Project Data category in Project Explorer. 32

Ignoring invalid bins Excluding null values

Depending on the type of statistics that want to be generated, it may be interesting not to include points where the layer being analyzed has no values populated. In that case, the Exclude null values checkbox can be checked. 33

Applying filters to ignore unwanted bins Selecting a grid to filter

The grid you query can be an existing analysis layer or a any other grid you have created/generated before. Remember you can use the Areas function in Mentum Planet to create grids based on existing polygons. 34

Applying filters to ignore unwanted bins Selecting a grid to filter

Enable the Apply area filter checkbox and browse for the grid (numeric or classified) on which you will be applying the filter. 35
