5G NR Coverage Simulation Parameters in Atoll

Hello Experts.

I am working on 5G NR coverage simulation using Atoll.

I would like to know more about some parameters.

How can we define transmission / reception losses?

In case of AUU antenna, I think there will be no losses, right?

Anyone has already done a 5G NR Coverage simuilation on Atoll?

Yes, for AAU no losses.

Exactly, there should be Gain, not losses.

So, for Atoll configuration we should configure:

Transmission lossses and Noise Figure at 0 dB?

I have done through Asset Radio.

In case of using Active Antenna, what should be the value of Losses and Noise Figure?

Noise figure of equipments should be provided by equipment vendor.

What are your thoughts on these thresholds used for 5G NR NSA simulation in Atoll?

It depends on the spectrum being used.

This works well for 3.5 GHz, but for mmWaves, a different approach is needed.

It doesn’t matter which RSRP… SINR is the main factor in every thing!

Generally can use below table range for SS-RSRP:

But as other colleagues mentioned, it is depend on your planning, Sites / cells / band distribution, EN-DC strategy, PCC0Anchoring Strategy, power distribution etc. metrics can impact to select efficient levels.

Yes, it’s important for achieving good throughput, but it’s crucial for triggering ENDC setup with the B1 event. Am I correct?

Thanks for your response. I’m referring to the 3.5 GHz TDD band. Are these thresholds valid for this band?

Totally.

Yes it does.

Normally B1 in 3500 is -115.

It will depend on your Link Budget calculation.

Was anyone able to figure out how to calculate snr kpi in atoll forsk? I’m trying to calculate that parameter for a research project and the only thing I can find is… NOTHING…, maybe someone here knows what that parameter in question is.
