Here we have some definitions about Boda Cellfile.
Its a file with Network Physical Data (cells) to be related with Network Data (processed dumps for CM, PM, etc).
Boda Cell File Purpose
-
Template.
Boda Cellfile will be the “standard” cell file.
It should contain all relevant information for any network, and will be just like those comon cell files for tools like TEMS, GMON, GNETRACK, etc… -
Required/Optional fields.
There’s a need to define the required fields, the minimum required fields like Latitude and Longitude of cells. -
Plot
Once we have Boda Cellfile (with miminum required fields) loade into Boda Tool, we can plot it. -
Export
Based on the Boda Cellfile, we’ll be able export updated data for third part tools, like export/create Tems Celfile. As Google Earth is widely used, Boda Cellfile can be exported to KML too.
Boda Cell File Definition
Boda Cell File (BCF) is a text file used to import network data into boda-lite. This data is loaded into the tools plan environment. The data source could be a planning tool or any other external source. The boda cell file can load 2G, 3G, and 4G cell parameters.
Importing Boda Cellfile
To import the Boda cell file data into Boda-lite
- Go to the Parse and Import module
- Select CM from the Data type select field
- Select BODASTAGE/BCF_CSV from the Vendor/Format select field
- Select the input folder with the location of the cell files
- Click Process
