ActixCellopt2 File Interface Technical Reference Revision 10 Introduction 4


1IntroductionThis document describes some of the messages that form the Cellopt AFP 2 generic fileinterface. The described messages are necessary for correctly creating input data files.Some necessary Cellopt AFP concepts and definitions are explained to help you understandthe data needed for the input files. Chapter 4 gives examples of the most common inputfiles for Cellopt AFP, and how they are created with different messages.


5/23

ActixCellopt2 File Interface Technical Reference Revision 10 Description 5


2DescriptionThis chapter contains the descriptions of the different types of definitions that need to beunderstood.

2.1Input FileAn input file to Cellopt AFP typically contains several messages of the same or differenttype. Cellopt AFP uses the following file forms:

Radio Database - This contains information on all the cells in the network to beconsidered. It contains cell names, numbers of radios required and existing frequenciesallocated.

Interference Lists - This tells us how much/how many percent traffic/area will be

interfered if two radios in two particular cells are allocated to the same or adjacentfrequency.

Neighbour Lists - A list of the neighbor relations in the network.

Exception Lists - A list of the exceptions in the network e.g. separation requirements fordifferent cell relations and illegal/forbidden frequencies for certain sectors.

Illegal/Forbidden frequency lists - A list of cells and their illegal/forbiddenfrequencies.

Frequency Group lists - A list defining the sets/subsets/MAL that you are using in yournetwork.

Other/Special lists - Other types of lists that contain information needed for Cellopt AFP.This could be a list containing the sector traffic in the network.

Blank lines and lines starting with # will be seen as comment lines and will be ignored byCellopt AFP.

2.2MessageA message is a single line of information beginning with a mnemonic, a model name and,optionally, fields separated by a TAB (ASCII character 9). These messages give you apowerful way of defining the input data to Cellopt AFP.

There are two different basic types of messages, input messages and applicationmessages. The input messages have the letter i as the first character in the mnemonic andis used for sending data into Cellopt AFP 2. The application messages have the letter a asthe first character in the mnemonic and is used for sending commands and some data intoCellopt AFP 2.

2.3MnemonicsDifferent mnemonics are used to define the different types of messages. Importantmnemonics for the file interface are:

iSECT - Used to define sectors in the network.

iCARF - Used to define radios in the network.

iFRQG - Used to define which frequencies belongs to a Sub set/Set /MAL.

iCONC - Used to define a relation between two radios or sectors, e.g. neighbour relation,

interference, exception.


6/23



iCONF - Used to define illegal/ forbidden frequencies for a radio.

iCOFL - Used to define illegal/ forbidden frequencies for all radios in a layer.

iCARL - Used to define a specific category and layer for a specific radio.

aLOAD - Used for loading a file.

aLIST - Used for creating a list.

aCATR - Used for creating a category.

aLAYR - Used for creating a layer.

2.4MaskThe mask defines which bits are valid for the message. The first bit in the message is theleast significant bit. A 1 means that the data field is valid and a 0 means that it will not betaken into account. Here is an example of a mask for a message of the form:

Mnemonic Model Mask Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4 Data5 Data6

in which we require the model and mask bits, and data bits 1,3 and 6.

Mnemonic Model Mask Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4 Data5 Data6 Sum

Binary 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 10010111

Decimal 1 2 4 0 16 0 0 128 151

In this case, the mask should be set to 151 and the data Data1, Data3 and Data6 will beread into Cellopt AFP. Note that the model and mask data fields must be included in themask itself, but the mnemonic field must not.

If the model and mask fields of the mask i.e. the two least significant bits, are set to 0 themessage will be a delete message and those data fields that are set will be deleted.

To help with the mask, you can use the table below or a calculator that can convert binaryto decimal.

d0 d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7 d8 d9 d10 d11 d12 D13

Value 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192

Sum 1 3 7 15 31 63 127 255 511 1023 2047 4095 8191 16383

2.5ModelA model is the representation of the network structure and behaviour, containing thepenalties, settings and the files to be loaded. The model part of the message could be seenas a default name of a model. This name will be changed inside Cellopt AFP to the modelname in which the file is loaded. Therefore, use e.g. model as the model name in the input

file.

2.6ListA list is a set of assignment restrictions, e.g. a set of several messages having the samebehaviour. Cellopt AFP uses three different types of lists, frequency penalty lists, andseparation penalty lists and separation penalties with statistics lists.

2.7DataA data field can be of any of the following types: char, int or float. The asterix (*)character is used as a wild character and an empty data field should be represented withthe dash (-) character.

4.4Interference ListThe interference list is created by an aLIST message follow by a set of iCONC messages.One iCONC message for each interference relation between two sectors/radios in thenetwork. Since the interference list usually is based from statistics the list should be

created for separation penalties with statistic (option 1 for aLIST). The statistics data fieldwill then be considered.

4.5Neighbour ListThe neighbour list is created by a aLIST message follow by a set of iCONC messages. OneiCONC message for each neighbour relation between two sectors in the network. Since theneighbour list is usually is based on separations between to sectors the list should becreated for separation penalties (option 2 for aLIST). The statistics data field will not be

considered.

4.6Exception ListThe exception list is created by an aLIST message follow by a set of iCONC messages. OneiCONC message for each exception relation between two sectors in the network. Since the

exception list is usually is based on separations between to sectors the list should becreated for separation penalties (option 2 for aLIST). The statistics data field will not beconsidered.

4.7Illegal/forbidden frequency ListThe illegal/forbidden frequency list is created by a set of iCONF messages. One iCONF

message for each illegal frequency on a radio in the network. Those illegal/forbiddenfrequencies will be stored in the illegal frequency list that is an automatically created list inCellopt AFP.

4.8Category and Layer definition ListThe categories and layer for specific radio can be defined by using a set of iCARLmessages. One iCARL message for each category and layer for each radio. These relationswill be stored in Cellopt AFP and can be view in the network editor. To create the categoryand layer use the messages aCATR and aLAYR.

4.9GSM Maximum Separation Groups (QTRU/GRFU)The frequency and separation values in MHz can be specified by using a set of iMXSP

messages. Use one iMXSP message for each type of separation group if the category andlayer are already specified in the project. Use the messages, aCATR and aLAYR, to createthe category and layer if they are not already specified in the project.

5Output from Cellopt AFP

There are three different options for the output file of Cellopt AFP, Radios, Radios andMALs and MALs. The first one gives an iCARF message for each radio in the network. The

second has a iCARF message for each radio in the network and a iFRQG message for eachdefined MAL's in the network.

5.1RadiosWhen choosing Cellopt AFP 2 format, Radios in the export from Cellopt AFP the output filewill have the following look:
