 A system overview of U-Net

 Be a professional radio network design tool for 3G, completely

support GSM/TDMA,GPRS-EDGE, cdmaOne,W-CDMA / UMTS and
CDMA 2000/1x RTT/EVDO

 Realize mobility of planning design, supporting a wide range of

project applications, single-processor configurations, and
Enterprise server-based network configurations. The single-
processor version does not requiring connecting external
database and users can still share engineering data.

 Open, expandable platform

 Friendly interface and be easy to install, operate, tune models

and generate reports
 Modules in U-Net

Modular structure
 Modular including :the basic core module, 3G module, measurement module, AFP (Automatic frequency
planning) module and microwave module
 Select different modules based on demands
 Requirement of U-Net

 Software and hardware requirements for U-Net:

 U-Net work station
• PC Pentium 3 processor or better.
• More than 256 MB memory. 512 MB memory is suggested.
• Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 Professional/Windows XP

 U-Net single-processor version needn’t external database

 Multi-user configurations supports the following database manag
ement systems (unsuitable for single user)
• Microsoft Access 97/2000
• Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
• Oracle v8.1.7 or higher
• Sybase Adaptive Server V 11.5
 GIS Functions

• World coordinates system database

- Support 1000+ kinds coordinates
- New coordinates system can be easily added in

• Integrated with other GIS tool, for exa

mple, MapInfo, and Arcview
- Import: Geographical data, traffic/population den
sity map
- Export: Coverage prediction map, vector data a
nd polygon
 GIS Functions

 Prediction map (using the tuned model)

 U-Net Propagation Model

 deviation map (predicted value-test value)

 Traffic map

 Purpose of traffic map

 Distribute some mobiles to digital map.

 Ways to create a traffic map

 Traffic raster maps based on environments
 Traffic vector maps based on user profiles
 Traffic map based on transmitters and services
 Traffic raster maps based on environments

 Each raster of the map is assigned an environment class

 Traffic map is created based on combination of environment
class ,user profile, user density and mobility

Environment class A Environment class B

• User profile A1, mobility • User profile B1, mobility
type A1, density A1 type B1, density B1
• User profile A2, mobility • User profile B2, mobility
type A2, density A2 type B2, density B2
• ... • ...
 Traffic vector maps based on user profiles

 Each polygon or line contains a density of subscribers with

given user profile and mobility types

Polygon A Polygon B
• User profile A, mobility • User profile B, mobility
type A, density A type B, density B
 Traffic map based on transmitters and services

 Live traffic spread over the service area of each

transmitter

Service zone of Tx A Service zone of Tx B

For each defined service, For each defined service,
• UL and DL throughputs • UL and DL throughputs
or or
• Number of UL and DL • Number of UL and DL
