The Telecom Resource Planning Tool (Trpt) is an implementation of GIS for wireless telecom planning. Trpt integrates Geographic,

Demographic and Terrain information, which facilitates data storage, acquisition & management, and assists multiple query & reportgeneration. It helps optimize all the physical and logical resources that aCommunication Service Provider (CSP) and Infrastructure Service Provider(ISP) needs, to manage its networks and services so as to cater both theactive and passive telecommunication infrastructure markets.

The tool addresses:

• Operations Support System for Network Planning and Maintenance• Business Support System to support and strengthen Marketing

Initiatives, and

• Management Information System which integrates organizationalfunctions such as network coverage planning, marketing, finance andothers.

Telecom Resource Planning Tool (Trpt) facilitates• the identification of best option for actions and investments in the

target areas, rural and urban

• defining the priority locations in each of the selected areas

• optimizing the engineering, marketing and sales planning , so as to improve the results in each area,

• boosting competitiveness, and

• reducing costs.

Functionalities

Comprehensive Data View

Trpt provides comprehensive data view (both geographical andtelecom data), using multiple layer overlays and attribute andfeature location queries, to retrieve answers for each logicalpart of the question. Embedded GIS technology providesadvanced reporting, data visualization and geo-statisticalanalysis capabilities.

The application provides GIS functional tools to support differentanalyses, viewing and querying database.

The data can be viewed and analyzed using map view, tabularrepresentation, graphs and reports. The dialog-based Layer

Manager helps editing and previewing geographic data.The visibility of a layer in the Map is controlled by user friendlydrop-down Menu System. The standard GIS operations wouldrequire the user be able to zoom in or out from a region, panacross a map or view spatial information at different levels.

The application has controls that enable the user to control theMap View displayed in the map interface. The zoom level,

boundary level or region on display is determined by thecontrols.



Grid Planning

Grid Planning Module helps to select potential

areas on a map for RF planning. The user canselect a region, specify the area type and gridsize so as to create the grids.

The Grid Table displays the following coveragewise information on each grid.

(a) Areas of populated land types

(b) Urban/Rural population

(c) Route lengths

(d) Landmarks

(e) Relative priority of each grid



The Dynamic Path Profiling tool provides the capabilityto quickly display path profile and its maincharacteristics.

Various visibility tools allow creating the point-to-pointLOS & R-LOS taking into account real or effective Earthradius, Earth curvature, transmitter, receiver and

obstacle heights. Clearance and Fresnel zones visibilitycan also be calculated.The location and the height of the obstacles can be edited, automatically updating theradio link budget calculation input.

Radio Link Analysis (LOS) tool on TRPT has features like

• Adding frequencies from 900 MHz to 2 GHz, 5 GHz

& 15 GHz respectively for point one & point two.• Apart from Tower Ht, it has variable parameters

for Tx and Rx like Input Tx Power, Out Tx Power;Line Loss, Antenna Gain, Azimuth & Path Loss, forRx and all parameters of Tx including E Field & RxSensitivity.

• It displays point wise AMSL.

• Multi point Radio link analysis feature is beingincorporated and will be functional shortly.

R-LOS & Transmission Planning



Automated Planning

The AutoPlan Module of the tool selects potentiallocations for sites. In Auto planning the grids areprocessed in descending order of scoring.

Urban grids are normally of smaller size typically 0.5 to1 km. rural Grids are typically 1 to 4 km. In the urbangrid the grid center is considered as the default sitelocation.

Within a Rural grid site location is selected based on

(a) Village Population

(b) Highways

(c) Landmarks

At each potential location the cell orientation isdetermined by maximizing coverage as per above

criteria and avoiding maximum permissible overlap.



Coverage Prediction & Site Planning Module

Trpt has advance coverage prediction algorithms for modeling microwave point-to-point, point-to-multipoint; fixed and mobile radio systems based on standards andrecommendations. The models support prediction at varied terrain and topographicalconditions. The propagation models cover a distance range from several meters up to

150 Km and frequencies from 100 MHz up to 3000 MHz.

Site planning tool enables user to plot coverage corresponding to a BTS site withcategorization level like Indoor, In car and Outdoor coverage. Tools also giveflexibility for manual and automated site planning.



As part of location validation, Trptanalyses the status of a proposed towerrelative to the Airport ClearanceObligations for erection of a new BTSfrom the concerned Authorities, like.Airport Authority of India.

The tool considers the basic striplength, approach surfaces, transitionarea, inner and outer horizontalsurface, and ARP and calculates thepermissible elevation for the proposed

tower.

SACFA Clearance Module



Drive Test & Field Data Analysis

Coverage Report

The product allows the importing of drive test datafrom proprietary drive test tool or from any othertools which have ASCII & Text data exportcapabilities. It also supports GPS & DGPS collecteddatabase.

A powerful set of post processing, querying,reporting and visualization tools enable the analysisof the drive-test data and use of it for predictionmodels calibration, network planning andoptimization. The data and analytical results can berepresented on the map as well as by tables andgraphic reports suitable for printing.

Application supports customized report versions fortechnical, marketing, customer care and topmanagement decision making report.

Some of the classified report is as follows:

• BTS specific coverage report

• State/District/Town specific report

• Corridor report

• Trend analysis & growth projection report

• Market penetration report

• Subscriber trend analysis• Retailer and Distributor report

• Customer care report

• Project roll out report



Customised Geographic Database & Structured RDBMS

The application version 2.5 is designed to act as a basic Map interface that supports standard GIS viewing and analysisoperations required for mobile network planning. The application uses standard models to predict coverage and microwave

link status. The system also maintains a database of demographic and network related information to generate customizedreports. The software is developed on the world’s leading Geographical Information System SDK.

GIS technology enables Trpt users to integrate the topography, terrain and location-based data into analysis and managementprocesses in network planning and operations, marketing and sales, customer care, data management, and a variety of otherplanning activities. The user friendly interface, data conversion and import/export capabilities of the application helps tointegrate the location based data, including telecom data from multiple sources and diverse formats, easily and effectivelyfor streamlining the planning activity. Location-based data integration helps to improve analysis and management processes.

Trpt can function as a stand-alone radio network planning application, as well as a multi-user system for editing/viewing dataon RDBMS (Oracle, Citrix Server and Generic GIS database). The scaleable and configurable data model allows for themodeling of various network architectures: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, point-to area or multi-service. Open databasearchitecture ensures easy integration with standard-based legacy systems. Application supports generic GIS database in bothraster and vector formats. Vector data can be stored as point, line and polygon features and raster data can be stored in both

grid and image format.



Customisation & Integration

Customisable Display

Future Roadmap

Trpt has been developed in a thoroughly planned and structured way, and underwent a series of versions in its development process. Starting withversion 1.2 in 2005, the tool currently is in version 2.5. We envisage the further development of the tool to match the technology advancementslike 3G, WiMaX, LTE etc and also to cater to the varying requirements of our clientele.

Trpt has an edge on account of

• Possibility to localize theinterface

• Data integration with populardatabases

• Configuration and Customizationof additional knowledge modules,mapping functions and scalability.

Trpt is Intuitive to use and iscustomizable for future requirements. Itis compatible with othertelecommunication planning tools.
