Atoll's LTE/LTE-A module supports advanced features for high-capacity and high-performance 4G networks:
- Support for FD/TD-LTE: Includes support for all standard LTE bands, duplexing methods, and carrier aggregation.
- Advanced Antenna Modelling: Includes MIMO (SU/MU), FD-MIMO, and 3D beamforming for enhanced throughput.
- Traffic & QoS Simulation: Based on QCIs, UE categories, and service definitions.
- Automated PCI/PRACH Planning: Incorporates constraints like SSS, PSS, RS, and UL-DMRS collisions.
- Inter-technology Planning: Seamless integration with 2G/3G/5G layers using shared site and antenna databases.
- Live Data Alignment: Imports UE/cell traces and MDT data to refine predictions and improve network optimisation.
5G NR (NSA/SA) Network Planning
Atoll 5G NR module provides full-featured planning for 5G deployments in both Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) configurations:
- Multi-Frequency & Numerology Support: Models sub-6GHz and mmWave bands, with numerologies from 15kHz to 240kHz.
- NSA/SA Support: Models LTE anchoring, dual connectivity, DSS, and dynamic TDD/FDD configurations.
- Massive MIMO & Beamforming: Models SU-/MU-MIMO, active antennas, and 3D beam pattern behaviour.
- Service Area Simulation: Supports Monte Carlo simulations of beam acquisition, DL/UL throughput, PCI conflicts, and interference.
- Advanced Traffic Modelling: Includes mobile broadband, fixed wireless access (FWA), and IoT services.
- Integrated ACP/AFP: Enables automatic optimisation of cell locations and frequency parameters.
Live Network Synchronisation: Uses real-world KPIs to identify high-traffic areas and steer coverage planning.
