This white paper describes the venue, technical details of the trial network implementation, compares the predicted and measured 5G NR coverage, and presents statistical analysis of the prediction error.
You can now reach up to 5X faster predictions compared to release 19.2, allowing you to rapidly optimize your design when building and predicting complex projects on a GPU! This will not only empower you to design wireless networks faster, but also make your network designs even more accurate by making optimizations less time-consuming.
When using GPU Acceleration, performance will depend highly on the selection of the GPU and CPU pairing in the system. While the GPU performs rapid mathematical computations, its performance is constrained by the capabilities of the CPU, SSD, and RAM. Following GPU acceleration, the remaining prediction steps remain reliant on the CPU.
With the optimal GPU and CPU pairing and PC setup, you can potentially save even tens of hours on each prediction run on very complex projects with multiple wireless services, such as stadiums, airports, or other large buildings. The time savings tend to scale with the project's size, complexity, and number of wireless services.
Streamline and expedite the design process for multi-carrier projects with our latest release's wireless service template enhancements! Now, you can save the Wireless Service Template along with project settings, eliminating the hassle of recreating lengthy service lists. Additionally, you can effortlessly modify templates by adding or removing services for future projects.
Smooth and rapid operation of iBwave Design is highly dependent on Boost Clock Speed of the processor, the number of cores, and the amount of RAM in the system. For highly complex designs involving a large surface area, high number of transmitters, and number of wireless services, the Recommended specifications listed in this document are meant to provide the best experience for users attempting to build accurate designs through rapid iterations of designing and predicting the system.
The following table describes the minimum and recommended specifications of iBwave Design. A Recommended system is one that can reliably execute complex designs over large venues with numerous transmitters and large square footage.
When coupled with GPU acceleration using supported CUDA operations on Nvidia devices, there is a marked reduction in prediction times on these systems. The base computation for every prediction map is the creation of Signal Strength matrices describing the power at each point of a prediction map. Utilizing the GPU for these computations can result in further performance gains relative to the system used.
Devices that comply with a minimum of CUDA Compute Level of 6.1 will be capable of running GPU-accelerated predictions (see the following table - -gpus). Of these devices only the following devices have been internally tested for use with CUDA Accelerated predictions:
So many indoor wireless networks to be designed, so little time.
