UE/cell/MDT (User Equipment/cell/Minimisation of Drive Test) traces collected at the OSS or through dedicated tools provide wireless operators with user-level information.

Once geolocated, UE/cell/MDT traces can be used to enhance pathloss calculations and prediction plots, as well as to identify and locate problem areas and traffic hotspots.

UE/cell/MDT traces can be used to enhance pathloss calculations and prediction plots.


Atoll Live module allows wireless operators to use  UE/cell/MDT traces along the planning and optimisation process, and provides enhanced prediction and prediction plots that combine propagation calculations and measurements. Atoll ACP (Automatic Cell Planning) module also uses UE/cell/MDT traces to drive the optimisation process.
