1 GENERAL STRUCTURE The first row of the file contains the keywords that define the order of the parameters in the following lines. Keywords are separated with semicolon or tabulator character. Other rows in the file contain the cell definitions. Each line describes one cell and contains a set of parameters describing the cell as well as the site in which the cell resides. For both site and cell information, there are both mandatory parameters and optional parameters. Site and cell parameters are separated with semicolon or tabulator character. The file format supports three data types: integer, float and string. Integer type is defined as a numeric value without dot character. Float type is defined as a numeric value with dot character. String type is defined as a set of any printable ASCII characters except semicolon.
2 CREATING BTS FILES BTS files can be created, for example, with MS Excel. Type in the cell parameters and save the file in CSV format. Finally, change the file extension to .nbf.

Decimal degrees (DD) express latitude and longitude geographic coordinates as decimal fractions and are used in many Geographic Information Systems (GIS), web mapping applications such as Google
Maps, and GPS devices. Decimal degrees are an alternative to using degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS). As with latitude and longitude, the values are bounded by ±90° and ±180° each. Positive latitudes are north of the equator, negative latitudes are south of the equator. Positive longitudes are east of Prime Meridian, negative longitudes are west of the Prime Meridian. Latitude and longitude are usually expressed in that sequence, latitude before longitude.

3.11.3 CELL SEARCH METHOD Lines are drawn from the current location on a map to the active set and monitored set cells based on the following algorithm.
Cell Identification (Cell ID) (for serving cell) Matching Channel number + Physical Layer Cell ID (for both serving and neighbor cells)
Note that if multiple matching cells are found, the closest cell is selected. The cell is matched only if distance is less than 50 km (31 miles).
