CelOptima™

Comprehensive Analysis, Optimization and Automatic Frequency Planning (AFP) of Wireless Systems

CelOptima™ aids wireless designers, engineers, and operators in the comprehensive analysis and optimization of wireless systems. With CelOptima™ users can performs the most intricate, detailed optimizations for the most complex wireless systems, including the convergence of traditional mobile, 3G & 4G (voice/data/image/multimedia), and broadband fixed wireless systems.

CelOptima™ allows users to save significant amounts of time and avoid continuous system adjustments. As an optimization tool, CelOptima™ can double the traffic capacity of a wireless system and, at the same time, improve system performance. For rapid and reliable wireless optimization, CelOptima™ allows users to make better use of spectrum, increase quality of service, reduce capital investment, and reduce operational expenditures.

Hand-off thresholds and frequency planning for the most complex wireless systems can be automatically maximized. Applying the proprietary OPTIMA algorithm, CelOptima™ gives the best solution in the shortest time, so that users can perform an unlimited number of “what if” scenarios.

Harnessing the most sophisticated software to drive complex optimization procedures makes CelOptima™ a unique, powerful tool for assessing the toughest performance evaluation problems.

CelOptima™ first assembles a unique interrelation matrix among all radios - MATRIX. The software assesses the influence of all system servers at each point in the system, and then weights this influence with a traffic factor, derived from a special raster traffic layer created from demographics or switch data. The MATRIX data form the basis for calculation of ideal hand-off levels – where hand-off requests are minimized and the desired number of hand-offs is preserved.

Using the OPTIMA algorithm, frequencies are assigned to the RF channels in such a way that overall interference is minimized. Geographic traffic distribution can be factored into the optimization solution so that any potential interference is restricted to areas with the least traffic.

In addition to working with existing plans, CelOptima™ software can be adjusted for any proposed modifications, including the increase or reduction of channels. With CelOptima™ , you can prioritize certain areas and/or restrict the use of certain frequencies at given sites. CelOptima™ also gives you the ability to optimize codes, polarities, and hopping sequence allocations.

The outstanding feature of the CelOptima™ engine is that it allows you to optimize sequentially. For example, once you have completed your frequency optimization, you can assign a first level of codes (e.g., SAT) based on the initial frequency assignments; then you can overlay this with a second level of code assignment (e.g., DCC or DVCC), and so on.

CelOptima™ is particularly well-suited to the optimization of mobile systems. Optimized offsets are determined by incorporating relative signal strengths at each point, the distance between competing sites, and the offset window in use. This unique CelOptima™ application delivers precise results and far exceeds the capabilities of other optimization tools.

The flexibility, versatility, and speed of CelOptima™ makes it the most valuable optimization tool available to wireless planners.
