This will open the LTE-PRO Import GUI.2.

2. LTE-PRO Import

First time importing a network into the RAN Node, a template is provided for the user to follow, ensuring the correct format is used.

...

The system will automatically name the file; the user should rename for personalization.

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.

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.

5. RAN Node File - Sectors

This tab will be used to define 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.

...

• EPRE

  • Energy (power) allocated to one RE is called EPRE (Energy Per Resource Element).

  • EPRE indicate power for one resource element (RE). This can be used for any channel (e.g. Reference Signal, PDSCH, etc.). This value does not vary with system bandwidth or number of RBs.

• RS EPRE

  • Reference Signal Energy Per Resource Element

• SS EPRE Offset

  • Secondary Synchronization Signal Energy Per Resource Element

• PDSCH EPRE Offset

  • Physical Downlink Shared Channel, Energy Per Resource Element

• PBCH EPRE Offset

  • Physical Broadcast Channel, Energy Per Resource Element

• PDCCH EPRE Offset

  • Physical Downlink Control Channel, Energy Per Resource Element

• PDCCH Overhead

  • Physical Downlink Control Channel Overhead
    

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 various CQI Ul & DL definitions, then assign them to the technology profiles.

...

9.

9. Validation

Once complete, save the file and import.

...

Once the validation passes, the information is sent into SignalPro and ready for planning.10.

10. Data imported
