Conclusions
Developing a
new concept
- Veritune
Identify changes to
antenna coverage

How do we speed up the process?
Identify changes to
antenna coverage
Some principles for a new concept in
optimisation to reduce the number of loops
Antenna Masking
Required inputs: Map database, antenna
performance and configuration
Modified Interfering
Cell Cells
Interference Generation
Link Budget Path Loss Required inputs: Map database, model
Required inputs: Required inputs: Map diffraction/penetration/ reflection assumptions, antenna
Equipment database, model performance and configuration, traffic geographical
performance & diffraction/penetration/ distribution, building penetration, interferer link budget, traffic
