5.4.1 Relative location

  • When the Correlated distance option is checked, the positions of the receiver and transmitter are geographically fixed with respect to each other (e.g. co-located or constantly spaced base stations). The transmitter is considered a reference centre.
  • When the correlated distance is unchecked, the receiver is randomly moving around the transmitter. There are 2 primary options to define type of mutual placement of VLR with respect to VLT. 

See ANNEX 12: for further details on the algorithm and conventions.

Correlation distance

-

Boolean

-

When checked, the only the Delta X and Y are editable.

Delta X

X

Distribution

Km

Horizontal distance between the transmitter and receiver. It can be used to shift horizontally the distributed receivers.

Delta Y

Y

Distribution

Km

Vertical distance between the transmitter and receiver. It can be used to shift vertically the distributed receivers.

Path azimuth

-

Distribution

Degree

Horizontal angle for the location of the Rx respect to the Tx. If constant, the Rx’s location will be on a straight line. If not, the location of the Rx will be on an angular area. (See Annex A12.3)

Path distance factor

-

Distribution

-

Distance factor to describe path length between the Tx and the Rx.

If the path factor is constant, the Rx will be located on a circle around the Tx. (See Annex A12.2)

Use of polygon

-

Boolean

-

When this is checked, you can select other shape of deployement than the default circle

Shape of the polygon

-

Boolean

-

You can select between hexagon (6 sides), heptagon (7 sides), Octagon (8 sides), Pentagon (5 sides), Rectangle (4 sides) and Triangle (3 sides)

Turn CCW

Distribution

Degree

Allows to rotate counter clock wise the selected polygon
