Overview

ASSET 7.0 provides complete planning/dimensioning


capabilities for LTE, and these capabilities are highly flexible
to meet the varying requirements and demands of different
network operators and vendors.

ASSET provides a flexible approach to planning and analyzing


different service types by using a combination of service
types, terminal types and terminal density arrays. The static
Technologies
simulationsupported
provides a wide range of output arrays and
include:
reports.
GSM, GPRS/EDGE, AMPS,
TDMA, TACS, PCS,
PMR/TETRA/iDEN, UMTS,
Joint GSM-UMTS,
CDMA2000, EV-DO, DVB-H,
Fixed WiMAX, Mobile WiMAX
and LTE.

Title

CARRIED TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

The Carried Traffic Analysis in ASSET


7.0 enables the quick identification of
potential transmission network
bottlenecks.

When you have run a simulation, you


can write the calculated traffic values to
the cells in the Site Database (you can
also manually add or edit it these
values).

This information will enable you to:

Analyse the network throughput, both on the


cells and the parent network elements
Identify network bottlenecks
Integrate this traffic information with the
CONNECT tool for the purposes of route
planning and link capacity.

Title

INTERFERENCE TABLE FUNCTIONALITIES

Limit the cells in the report window, by using the Filter drop-down list.

Specify the decimal place precision that you require (this influences the right pane only).

Interact with the Map View, helping you to visualise specific cells. This is described in
the following sections.

Interact with the Site Database, helping you to check a specific cell's network
parameters

Search for a specific victim cell in the left pane, by using the Find button.
View the interferers for any of the victim cells by selecting the appropriate victim cell.
Re-sequence any of the columns in the left pane or the right pane, by clicking the
appropriate column header. For example, you can sort the list of interfering cells to find
which cells might be causing the greatest potential problems to the victim cell.
Customize the column details in the right pane.
Generate a report by clicking the Report button. This report will reflect your customised
columns and decimal precision.
