Traffic / Load Analysis

CelPlanner™ can acquire information from different sources, and distribute it according to the demographic regions. CelPlanner™ accepts multiple demographic data, represented as residential, commercial, vehicular, and special events. To determine the positioning of calls, the distribution of subscribers must be known.

Traffic grids can be created with different resolutions, and the source of the demand data can be extracted in a number of different ways such as:

  • A fixed amount of traffic can be distributed across the analysis area.
  • Traffic information can be obtained directly from the demographic data.
  • Traffic layers can be created for different building levels, allowing for modeling of multiple height effects.For networks in live operation, traffic information can be obtained from the switching equipment.
Furthermore, the demographic data can be distributed according to morphological types, providing a much more realistic distribution.

CelPlanner™ has incorporated Monte Carlo techniques to implement the most advanced CDMA predictions in the market. A CDMA prediction is affected not only by RF propagation factors, but also by the geographical distribution of the calls. Several factors are interrelated in a CDMA prediction, including the positioning of the cell sites, the interference generated by each call, the hand off parameters, and the number and location of calls. These and several other elements affect the outcome of system performance. MIMIC provides the precise calculation of load levels (total interference power), noise rise levels, statistical distribution for traffic channel power allocation, and the amount being attended by soft hand-offs, so critical in CDMA systems, in order to obtain precise and correct predictions.
