Convert Latitude/Longitude to Decimal
Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to/from Decimal Degrees The form below allows you to convert Latitude and Longitude information between decimal format and degree/minute/second (DMS) format. This is useful when finding distances. Here's the basic equation:
MCOM 4.2 Tool
Mobile Communications Network Application (MCOM) was first introduced as a Mapbasic application tool to create a graphical representation of a mobile network in MapInfo.
Starting version 3.0, MCOM has become a stand-alone application. MCOM acts as an OLE client with MapInfo running in the background. This allows MCOM to have the flexibility and versatility to integrate new functions that MapBasic cannot provide.
In this latest version, you get the similar user-interface as in MapInfo plus the additional ND/NPI tools.
MCOM's features can be categorised into following groups:
·

STS Analysis
Tools
MCOM2001 provides useful tools for STS analysis as well. MCOM2001
uses the same STS Database file as another Statistical Tool namely, Statics
Statistical Tool by Chan Huan Kean.
MCOM2001 also supports statistics data created by SPOS and Turtle
program. Before importing the STS Data from these tools, a STS database must be
created.
A summary of these tools is listed below:
A summary of these tools is listed below:
- Cell Level Statistics View.
- Handover Relation Statistics View.
- STS Navigator for displaying user customized
statistical reports on a geographical map.
Radio Network Optimization (RNO) Troubleshooting Tools
TEMS Investigation TEMS
Investigation is a drive test tool within the TEMS product family. It consists
of a TEMS mobile station, a PC with the TEMS Investigation software and a GPS
receiver. The uplink and downlink information on the air-interface is monitored
and recorded together with the positioning data from the GPS. TEMS
Investigation, here referred to as TEMS, is a very powerful tool for field
measurements during troubleshooting in specific areas of the network.
MTR Mobile Traffic Recording (MTR) records the
events and measurements on both the uplink and downlink connected to a certain
subscription, which can be useful when a subscriber complains and the cause is
to be investigated. MTR is also very useful together with TEMS. From TEMS geographical
information can be retrieved but not from MTR.
CER Channel Event Recording (CER) measures
interference on the frequencies defined in the cell and is used when the
performance of the channel allocation strategy is investigated. Idle Channel
Measurement (ICM) or Differential Channel Allocation (DCA) is required for this
recording,
CTR Cell Traffic Recording (CTR) collects data
about connections in specific cells. Certain events can be used as triggers and
all communication on up- and downlink is recorded. CTR could be used if there
are specific problems found in any cell, such as an abnormal number of Traffic
Channel (TCH) drops.
GMLOG The GPRS/EGPRS
Mobile Logging (GMLOG) function logs protocol information in the RLC/MAC and
the BSSGP protocols for one whole cell or four individual mobiles. All relevant
information is logged together with related internal events. The Mobile Logging
function is
a
valuable function for GPRS/EGPRS verification and detailed troubleshooting
purposes. The function can be used by the operator staff to verify network
functions and characteristics. The function gives the possibility to correlate
A-bis and Gb-data. It displays BSC internal events, which is not possible with
external protocol analyzers. The logging capability is high, due to the fact
that the logged data is directly transferred from the RPP to the logging client
via Ethernet.

Optimization (RNO)
Measurement Tools for Radio Network Optimization (RNO)
STS: Statistics and Traffic Measurement Subsystem
(STS) is implemented in the BSC (and MSC). It gives statistics about events in
different parts of the system such as cells and equipment. By continuously
supervising the results from STS the operator can obtain a very good overview
of the radio network performance which can help to detect problems early. For
further information,
MRR Measurement Result Recording (MRR) collects
information from the measurement results sent by the BTSs to the BSC.
Information such as RXLEV, RXQUAL etc. is included. The tool is for instance
used for routine supervision or for checking specific cells. MRR is a part of
the Radio Network Optimization (RNO) package in OSS
TEMS Automatic Tems
Automatic is a tool within the TEMS product portfolio, where several special
mobile stations are placed in for instance taxis and buses. The set of mobiles
are supervised centrally and the measurements are sent directly to this center.
TEMS automatic provides the operator with information about subscriber
perceived quality from many parts of the network.
R-PMO The real-time
performance monitor provides real-time statistics in order to receive instant
feedback of performance from sudden changes of the network, either by the
network itself (e.g. hardware faults) or by operator initiated changes (i.e.
parameter, feature or frequency changes). For operator initiated changes,
faster tuning can be achieved. R-PMO also provides a high degree of detailed
information, such as timestamps on events, and flexibility, such as user
defined reports.
NOX Neighbouring Cell List Optimization Expert
(NOX) is a tool meant as a support for the operator for optimization of the
neighbouring cell relations. This is done by collecting and handling data from
measurement reports, handover statistics and general network configurations.
The outcome is suggestions to remove superfluous or add new neighbouring cell
relations. The user can set whether the changes should be implemented
automatically or require an approval by the user.
FOX Frequency Optimization Expert (FOX) measures
for possible interferers in order to find suitable frequencies to define in
cells. FOX supplies the operator with suggestions about frequencies at e.g.
network/hardware expansions or frequency reallocations.
SYROX Synchronized Radio
Network Optimization Expert (SYROX) is a tool intended to support the operator
with planning of parameters that control the frequency hopping for a group of
Synchronized Cells in order to minimize the interference in the network. Apart
from the fact that a group of mutually synchronized cells is required, SYROX
also requires that the optional BSS features FAS (FOX recording mode), and
Flexible MAIO Management are available.
