AP30/30A Plans/Lists WorkshopUsing the SPS and
other BR software applications to obtain the
technical examination results
2
Procedures for the assessment of the impact of a
newly proposed satellite network

• Let us examine two basic procedures
• One that uses the results of analysis published
  on the BR IFIC (simplest)
• Conducting a technical analysis by performing
  calculations and analysing the results(requires
  some working knowledge of SPS and software for
  analysis in shared bands).

In both cases it is necessary to install the SPS
software application. For the second approach, it
is necessary to install Microsoft ACCESS (v.2000
or later). If results in shared bands are
required - GIBC and SpaceCap should be also
installed. There are other approaches that use
other algorithms and methods for compatability
analysis. These procedures exceed the scope of
this workshop.

Procedure for the analysis of the results
published on the BR IFIC (1)

• The main steps are
• Copying the compressed database, which contains
  the results of calculations, from the BR IFIC to
  the users computer
• Un-ziping the databases (desirable to un-zip only
  the necessary databases)
• Running the SPS Reporting Tool (SPS_REPORTs.exe)
  and opening the results database for the network
  to be studied
• Select the version of the analysis (database can
  store several versions of calculations)

4
Procedure for the analysis of results published
on the BR IFIC (2)

• Choose the type of report
• Specify the search parameters to be used for
  retrieval of data for the networks/assignments of
  interest
• Retrieving, analysing and printout of the
  results
• If results in shared bands are also required
• Open the SPS database using Microsoft ACCESS.
  Open the tr_aff_ntw table
• In the ntc_id field, use the filter for tool
  to find the networks/assignments possibly
  affected by the networks/assignments of interest.

Practical exercise on analysing the results of
technical examination, published on the BR IFIC

• Copy the compressed database, which contains the
  results of calculations, from the BR IFIC to your
  computer
• Select and unzip one of the databases with the
  results of analysis
• Run the SPS reports sub-system and obtain the
  results of analysis for the administration
  selected by you
• Repeat the foregoing step using other search
  criteria and combinations
• Close report.

11
Detailed analysis approach using BR software and
databases

• If the user does not have the output results
  database or wants more detailed information, it
  is possible to run a technical analysis. Two main
  phases are included
• Technical analysis with other assignments/networks
  belonging to the same Plan/List (using SPS
  software and SPS database) considered in this
  workshop
• Technical analysis to identify probably affected
  services/networks in shared bands (using GIBC,
  SpaceCap software and the merged SPS/SRS
  database) optional in this workshop. This
  presentation includes several slides describing
  the phase II basic methodology.

12
I. Detailed analysis approach using theSPS
software and database (SPS DB) (1)

• To carry the technical analysis with other
  assignments / networks belonging to the same
  Plan/List, the user should
• Copy the zipped SPS database (SPS DB) from the BR
  IFIC or the ITU website to the users computer
• Un-zip this database, rename it and change the
  file status (it is Read only on CD) to disable
  the read-only attribute
• Change the Type of Assignment value for the
  "interfering network from V to A in the
  NTF_OCCURS field of the NOTICE table

13
I. Detailed analysis approach using theSPS
software and database (SPS DB) (2)

• Starting the compatability analysis sub-system,
  select the input database, names of the output
  data files (including the output database) and
  the level of details
• Select the Plan/List to be analysed and the date
  of receipt of the last network to be taken into
  account in the analysis (for the purposes of
  excluding the analysis of networks submitted at
  later dates)
• Run the analysis
• Analyse the results with the use of the reports
  sub-system and also, if necessary, the detailed
  report .

Practical exercise using the detailed analysis
procedure Phase I (1)

• Copy the compressed SPS database from the BR IFIC
  to your computer
• Un-zip the SPS DB, rename it, and disable the
  read-only attribute
• open the SPS DB using Microsoft ACCESS, open the
  NOTICE table, find the network of interest and
  change the value of the field NTF_OCCURS of this
  network from V to A
• perform a calculation taking into account the
  date of receipt of the network
• examine the results of calculation, using the
  reports sub-system

19
Practical exercise using the detailed analysis
procedure Phase I (2)

• Close the report
• select the most interesting channel and conduct
  calculation with the maximum level of details for
  it
• open the text file with results of detailed
  calculation, using NOTEPAD
• analyse the results in the detailed report.

20
II. Analysis in shared bands using GIBC, SpaceCap
and merged SPS/SRS database (1)

• To identify potentially affected
  services/networks in shared bands, the user
  should
• Copy the latest SRS database from the SRS-on-CD
  (or your own SRS DB) to the users computer and
  rename it
• Start SpaceCap software, click the Open database
  option from the File menu and browse for the SPS
  data file obtained from steps a) and b) of the
  phase I
• Select PLAN from the tool bar
• Select one Plan from the list by double-clicking
  on it.
• Select all networks in the Plan.
• Click on the Export option from the menu on the
  right.

21
II. Analysis in shared bands using GIBC, SpaceCap
and merged SPS/SRS database (2)

• Click on the Set Target Db button and select the
  SRS database copied to your local disk (and
  renamed) in step a)
• Make sure that the Keep Group Ids of the sources
  option is checked. Then press the OK button. In
  order to have a full version of the merged
  database you have to repeat steps from d) to this
  one for every Plan/List
• Start GIBC software, click on the Tools and
  options tab and select the extended SRS database
  produced in steps from c) to h)

22
II. Analysis in shared bands using GIBC, SpaceCap
and merged SPS/SRS database (3)

• Select tab with the required analysis according
  to RR (PFD for protection of terrestrial
  services, PXT for protection of space services
  (down-link), ?T/T for protection of space
  services (feeder-link)), type Notice Id of your
  interest and start analysis.
• Analyse results stored in the folder used for a
  selected type of analysis (either in
  C\PFDRESULTS \, C\PXTRESULTS\ or
  C\APP8RESULTS \) specified at the bottom of the
  GIBC graphical interface
• Steps j) and k) may need to be repeated as many
  times as the number of required analysis types
  (according to RR).
