This will open the LTE-PRO Import GUI
2. LTE-PRO Import
For first time import a template is provided for the user to follow, ensuring the correct format is used
This template should be opened and saved onto a local drive
3. RAN Node File- Introduction
Upon opening the document the introduction tab will be presented to the user. This tab explains the “rules” followed in the document
...
4. RAN Node File -Sites
Within this tab the user must define the sites and any carrier aggregation
The carrier aggregation must be specified with the 3GPP formats for any combination and separated by commas
5. RAN Node File - Sectors
This tab will be used to define the the sectors and the soft parameters such as;
Site Name to Sector
Technology profile to be used (see step 7)
PCI, PSS, SSS definitions per sector - not mandatory
Neighbors, (intra and inter) - also not mandatory
...
6. RAN Node File - Channel Info
Continuing the soft parameter definitions per sector the channel information per sector will be defined in this tab
Currently this is downlink only, uplink will be released in future release
Note- these settings are not mandatory to the import of the network
...
7. RAN Node File - Technology Template
This tab is to define all the various technology profiles for the network
Definitions
Name of the technology - user defined
System Profile - Band
SCS - subcarrier spacing
Bandwidth - bandwidth of system
Cyclic Prefix- normal or extended
FDD or TDD (in case of TDD, new template should be created to define the pattern)
Uplink CQi - see step 8
Downlink CQI - See step 8
...
8. RAN Node File - CQI_Dl & CQI_UL
These tabs for the UP and DL are used to define the MCS to support the system profile of your sector /network
Users can create many tabs for CQI Ul & DL then assign them to the sectors
...
9. Validation
Once complete, save the file and import
The system will validate the file and throw any errors if found
...
Error found - below example
...
Once the validation passes the information is sent into SignalPro and ready for planning.
10. Data imported
The data is now visible in ;
Sites GUI
Sectors GUI
Technology profiles
Channels
