I am currently going through Pollard's article on Lattice Sieving and have a few confusions. Firstly,how to figure that C and D in the two -dimensional array so that every (c,d) pair corresponds to a lattice element (a,b) because if I consider c \in [-C,C] and d \in [1,D] where C is to be chosen greater than D ; there are many combinations of type cV_1 + dV_2 which go outside the lattice . Here, V_1 and V_2 are the reduced basis of the lattice. <cite authors="Pollard, J.M.">_Pollard, J.M._, The lattice sieve, Lenstra, A. K. (ed.) et al., The development of the number field sieve.

[ZBL0806.11066](https://zbmath.org/?q=an:0806.11066).</cite>Secondly, this 2-D array can't cover entire L(q),so aren't we missing a lot of smooth pairs?
