Layer and Legend
3.2.1
Introduction
3.2.1.1 Layer Each map image is attached to a layer, and a GIS window may comprise several layers displayed from bottom to top in sequence. Layer may be associated with grid/cell based data; vector or raster based image; as well as snapshot of other layers data. Layer types are listed below: Layer Type Data Layer Description For displaying data value on image. There is only one data layer on each GIS window. The data layer includes grid display layer and cell display layer.
Grid Display layer: show the data in grid format. Cell Display layer: show the data of each cell.
Map Layer
For displaying vector or raster based image. This layer is treated as a background for data image. A map layer contains one or more than one SHP or raster file. It is a snapshot of other opened data layer. Its usage is to be a mark on the data image to make data presentation much better to view. A GIS window can show one or more mark layers. When the mark layer and the associated data layer are removed from GIS window, the mark layer will be removed from the layer manager windows tree view.
Mark Layer
Page 51 of 327
V4.1
3.2.1.2 Legend To reflect cell/grid based data value on a data layer image, a proper legend must be defined for layer rendering. Legend defines a relationship between data value and color in an image. The legend will be shown in the legend window of GIS window. The user can click Show Legend on the toolbar to turn on or turn off
it; also can click the right-upper close button in the legend window to close it
3.2.1.3 Content-Sensitive Legend The Content-Sensitive Legend means the legend information will be updated dynamically according to GIS window view-scope change. A Content-Sensitive Legend is only effective in a grid display layer. Comparing to a static legend, the advantage of this way make the user easily distinguish the data values in the current view scope. The Content-Sensitive Legend mode can be enabled or disabled by clicking Show Content-Sensitive Legend on the toolbar. Disable Content-Sensitive Legend mode

LAC Design Operation
4.7.1
Introduction
The LAC Design task allows the user to design the LAC topology in the whole network to get a better performance based on cell channel utilization and the LAC statistics. The design can be executed manually or automatically, and user can view the network performance both in images and in charts or analysis tables. Page 170 of 327
V4.1
In order to perform the design, user has to create a snapshot and make his modification based on the snapshot. The snapshot operation can be referred to Snapshot Management. Within the created snapshot, user can: View the analysis result based on current LAC topology. Manually reparent the LAC ID, BSC ID for the network cells. Automatically reparent the LAC ID for the network cells. Export the current topology and the reparent logs. The detailed reparent operation can be referred to LAC Topology Optimization.

Configuration, CCCH Utilization and SDCCH Utilization. The first three charts show location update, inter-LAC penalty, cell count, site count, LAC count and BSC count of each MSC. The last two charts show CCCH and SDCCH utilization of each cell sorted decently. The location update chart shows how many inter-MSC and intra-MSC location updates occur for each MSC. The inter-MSC location update refers to the sum of the cell inter-LAC location update of different MSCs. The intra-MSC location update refers to the sum of the cell inter-LAC location update of the same MSCs. The Penalty chart shows the value of inter-MSC penalty and intra-MSC penalty for each MSC. The intra-MSC penalty is the sum of all the inter-LAC penalty values of all the cells within the MSC, while the inter-MSC penalty is the sum of all the inter-LAC penalty values of all the cells within the MSC to the cells outside the MSC. The utilization charts show how many cells have the utilization larger than a certain value. If the utilization exceeds the broken threshold, it will be a red point; if it exceeds the watched threshold, it will be a green point; else it will be a blue point. The thresholds can be set when user clicks button Set Thresholds. Double click any chart will pop up a larger chart window.

Glossary
A coverage hole MR is a MR located in a grid that satisfies the coverage hole condition: (Serving cell RxLev < N) AND (all neighbor cell RxLev < N) where N (default is 15) can be customized An overlapping MR is a MR located in a grid that satisfies the overlapping coverage condition: (serving cell RxLev >= N) AND (three neighbor cells RxLev >= N) AND ((Highest RxLev of serving & neighbor) (lowest RxLev of neighbor) <= M) where N (default is 15) and M (default is 6) can be customized

A grid, or a bin, is a square area of NN (m2) on a map Indicates whether a field is able to accept a Null value A RSSI MR is a MR that possesses sufficient information for location calculations using either the Single Pathloss Receive Level LSQ algorithm or the Mixed Pathloss Receive Level LSQ algorithm (i.e. high precision methods). A GSM MR is a MR whose serving cell is a PGSM, EGSM or GSM850 cell. The GSM based statistics referred below (i.e. GSMCoverageHoleNum, GSMRSSICoverageHoleNum, GSMUpQx, GSMDnQx, GSMRSSIUpQx, GSMRSSIDnQx, GSMTraffic) are statistics derived from these MRs. RSSI An RSSIOverlapping MR is a MR that satisfies both the RSSI and coverage overlapping conditions. Overshooting of the selected area: 1. Get the serving cells Svr1, Svr2, Svr3... of the selected area, their serving traffic (MR count * factor) are trf1, trf2, trf3..., and their cell radius are rad1, rad2, rad3... 2. The overshooting traffic of Svr1 in the selected area is defined

Calculate the Nbris distance to the Svr 2. Select the nearest 5 cells (ignore the Micro, co-located with the serving cell, the same distance cells etc) 3. Select the farthest Nbri within the 5 cells 4. The distance between Svr and Nbri is D 5. Then rad = r*D, r=1.2 if the number of neighbor cells of Svr is less than 5, D is calculated based on the farthest nbr cell if the number of neighbor cells of Svr is 0, D is defined as 300/1.2, the cell radius in GSM EMPower will be marked red in this case For indoor cell, D is defined as 100/1.2.

Appendix B: Generating World File
for Raster Image File

7.1 Raster Image
A Raster image uses a raster data. The Raster data can not contain coordinates with location information, like jpg and bmp format files. The corresponding file with location information is called as a world file. For jpg and bmp formats, the world file extensions are usually jpgw and bmpw, sometimes jgw and bpw. So a world file must be created to indicate the location. Only a raster data with the world file can be displayed correctly in the GSM EMPower system.
7.2
Projection
The Projection is important information for the data types. Different countries may have different projection. The Projection is the basic of map display. If the user wants to create a world file, he must know what the projection the data is using. But usually the projection information is not contained in the world file. The user who use the image data accompanied by world file must be aware of whats the projection, its critically important.
7.3
How to Convert Lat/Long into X/Y Coordinates
Converting latitude and longitude into X and Y coordinates: Step 1: Have Lat/Long with Geo-reference data in you hand, geo-reference information normally include: projection name, datum name etc. Step 2: Run GIS software like ERDAS imagine, Arcinfo, MapInfo or CST (developed be Motorola China tools group), for CST, a readme file is provided in: ftp://sesun2.cig.mcel.mot.com/pub/GSM_OPT_TOOLS/CST Step 3: Import your Lat/Long data into the software listed above, then select projection parameters which current Lat/Long is using, and output X, Y data's projection parameters. Step 4: Output X and Y.

For a raster data: Step 1: Get your image data. Step 2: If image has been geo referenced that means this image has projection information , please go to step 4 , otherwise run GIS software like ERDAS image, Mapinfo geo reference your image data, normally give projection first, find points, give Lat/Long or X,Y, then rectify data. Step 3: Output image data as JPG, TIF etc with projection, resolution information, normally in a header file, following information should be included: Projection information Up left point coordination(X, Y) Resolution Step 4: According to above information, here is an example to create a world file for a raster image: 5.000000000000(==>size of pixel in x direction) It is the image data x resolution 0.000000000000(==>rotation term for row) It is not supported by program at this time, always 0.000....... 0.000000000000(==>rotation term for column) It is not supported by program at this time, always 0.000........ -5.000000000000(==>size of pixel in y direction) It is the image data y resolution, but always minuses 492169.690845528910(==>x coordinate of centre of upper left pixel in map units) 5426523.31806510500(==>y coordinate of centre of upper left pixel in map units) This 6-line file is a world file, which extension is jpgw, bmp, jgw or bpw. A world file can be opened by Notepad.
