Network Overlay Tool • Simplifies the creation of an
2G/3G network
LTE overlay on an existing 2G or 3G network • Supports initial creation on
ongoing updates of the overlay from the underlying 2G/3G network • Supports all technologies
including CDMA/EV-DO, GSM, WCDMA/HSPA, WiMAX, and LTE LTE network
Traffic Map Management • Provides detailed modeling of
how and where subscribers utilize the network • A critical input for accurate
network performance modeling
• Traffic map generation
distributes measured or modeled traffic
• Support for multiple traffic
maps for various traffic scenarios & services
• Detailed subscriber modeling • Defines how subscribers
access the network (services, priorities, user equipments)
Detailed traffic map & Monte-Carlo simulations
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
Traffic Maps Sector Display Schemes for Network Data
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
Instant Graphical Statistics based on imported network data: “Top Ten Drop Call Sectors Bar Graph” and ”Top 30 Sectors Carried Traffic Line graph”
Any two columns can be defined for running statistics in Bar, Line or Point formats
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
• Using Network Data allows us to import and create traffic data based on Switch or Network
Statistics for use in Mentum Planet
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
• Using Network Data as traffic data input and apply clutter weight for the traffic map
generation.
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
• Use pre-bound network data and traffic spreading algorithm.
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
• Based on Sector Service Probabilities algorithm:
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
• Apply the clutter weighting to the traffic map
Traffic Maps Creating from Network Data
• Traffic Map with Clutter Weighting
Traffic Maps Social Media and Geolocalization
• •
Ability to leverage social media information in traffic map generation Ability to leverage geolocated measurements in traffic map generation
• •
•
Geolocated by Mentum Planet geolocation engine Or geolocated by 3rdparty geolocation engine
Very accurate traffic map generation process Traffic Map Generator
Traffic Maps Social Media and Geolocalization

Changing the analysis area Creating a custom area
Make your Cosmetic layer editable, so that your drawing toolbar becomes available
Changing the analysis area Creating a custom area
Use any of the polygon tools to draw a specific shape on your map window, then use the Select tool and click on it
Changing the analysis area Creating a custom area
This process will create a GRC file with a value of “Downtown”
inside the selected polygon and NULL elsewhere.
Network Analyses Defining a Workflow
• Configure the Mentum Planet project including site configurations, antennas, and propagation
models.
• Optionally, generate predictions.
• Generate the network analysis.
• Analyze results.

• To streamline your workflow when you use the same settings for a
number of analyses, you can define default analysis settings
GSM Analysis Layers
• Best Server analysis layers • Interference analysis layers • Quality Analysis layers • Service Coverage layers

Layer Statistics Generating
Changing the analysis area Choosing your area of interest
Statistics will be calculated only within the region chosen in the Analysis Area drop-down menu. New areas can be created by using the Areas function under the Project Data category in Project Explorer
Ignoring invalid bins Excluding null values
Depending on the type of statistics that want to be generated, it may be interesting not to include points where the layer being analyzed has no values populated. In that case, the Exclude null values checkbox can be checked.
Applying filters to ignore unwanted bins Selecting a grid to filter
The grid you query can be an existing analysis layer or a any other grid you have created/generated before. Remember you can use the Areas function in Mentum Planet to create grids based on existing polygons.
Applying filters to ignore unwanted bins Selecting a grid to filter
Enable the Appl y area f il ter checkbox and browse for the grid (numeric or classified) on which you will be applying the filter.
Applying filters to ignore unwanted bins Operators Operator
Meaning
v
Reserved character to stand for "value"
==
Equal
!=
Not equal
>
Greater than
>=
Greater than or equal to
<
Less than
<=
Less than or equal to
&&
And
||
Or
Applying filters to ignore unwanted bins Selecting a grid to query
The output file will exclude results for any bins where the value of the grid is “Buildings”, so that your stats reflect
outdoor points only.
Viewing the stats Sorting and exporting
In the Report Preview, results will be shown in absolute (km²) and relative (%) numbers, and can be sorted in ascending or descending order. This report can be exported to Excel or CSV format.
Creating graphs PDF/CDF
Highlight one of the columns in the report and click the Generate to create a PDF or CDF of the results in Statistics button that column.
Creating graphs X vs. Y
You can also select multiple columns in the Report Previewer and click on the Show Graph button to display a graph that will compare the multiple columns chosen. When choosing the best server, it can be used to see the ranking of all sectors
Visualizing your results Creating Sector Display Schemes and Labels
By using the Sector Display Scheme button , you can colorcode each sector based on its stats. There is also a Label button to help you display the per-sector values on the map.
Frequency Planning Defining a Workflow • Check frequency-related settings
• Generate Interference Matrices
• Optionally, generate Neighbor Plans
• Automatically allocate channels using the AFP module
• Optionally, automatically allocate BSIC using the Color Code Planning module
• Optionally, modify Frequency Plan using the IFP module

Raster Analysis Grid Manager
• Fully integrated Vertical Mapper™ Raster GIS
platform
• Standard open raster
file format
• Flexible raster map
display capabilities
• Ability to edit any input (clutter, heights…) • Advanced raster data
manipulation such as queries, calculations, etc…
Interference problem identification using raster query
Grids Modifying
Trimming a grid brings the focus of network analysis onto the area of interest and can reduce the time it takes to generate analyses
Grid Analysis Understanding Results
Spatial Analysis Performing For example, you can use the:
Region Inspection tool
Point Inspection tool
Line Inspection tool
Point-to-Point Analysis Performing
Coverage Maps Producing
In the Layout window, you can: •
• •
Add text by clicking the Text button on the Main toolbar. Move and resize frames using the Select tool. Align objects by choosing Layout Align Objects.
Layered PDFs Printing
When you print a layered PDF, you can disable/enable layers as you want them displayed on your window
Extensions Adding
Some of the things you can do using extensions: You can open PDF documents from a Mentum Planet menu You can add a command to connect to a web site You can open MapInfo tools automatically when the project is opened You can open Excel spreadsheets from a Mentum Planet menu
