    Subscriber density

    Operator subscriber density depends on:

    Population density

    Mobile phone penetration

    Operator market share

    The subscriber density can be considered quite stable in mature markets

    Mobile phone penetration close to 100% for basic services

    Major changes possible only when new operators come to the market or with aggressive marketing campaigns

    In developing markets fast changes in mobile phone penetration and operator market share

  • 6 Nokia Siemens Networks CN31545EN30GLA0

    Traffic information

    The subscriber density & Subscriber traffic profile are the main requirements for capacity dimensioning

    Traffic forecast should be done by analysing the offered Busy Hour traffic per subscriber for different services in each rollout phase

    Traffic data:

    Voice : Erlang per subscriber during busy hour of the network

    Codec bit rate, Voice activity

    Video call : Erlang per subscriber during busy hour of the network

    Service bit rates

    NRT data : Average throughput (kbps) per subscriber during busy hour of the network

    Target bit rates

  • 7 Nokia Siemens Networks CN31545EN30GLA0

    Example: Subscriber traffic profile / traffic estimation

    Subscriber traffic profile - Marketing Forecast (Example)

    (Average) traffic demand per subscriber in busy hour: Speech telephony: 20 25 mErl Video telephony: 2.5 3.0 mErl SMS 0.3

    Data services ~ 600 1000 bps (DL), ~ 75 - 100 bps (UL)

    Traffic Estimation (Example)

    Coverage Area (Site): 10 km2

    Planning Area: 100 km2 & 10 000 subscribers 100 subs/km2 1000 subs/Site

    User profile Speech traffic: 25 mErl/subs/BH

    NRT data traffic: DL 750 bps/subs/BH, UL 75 bps/subs/BH

    Site traffic: Speech - 25 Erl/cell/BH +

    NRT data DL - 750 kbps/cell/BH,

    NRT data UL - 75 kbps/cell/BH

    Traffic model: Erlang B

    Traffic model is used to derive the required capacity from average traffic & service quality requirement

    RT traffic (speech, video call, video streaming) is commonly modelled with Erlang-B model

    Average traffic (Erlangs) A

    Blocking probability (%) B

    required No. of traffic channels N

    NRT traffic (web, email services) can

    Packet data modelling

    Packet data traffic is a sum of multiple services with different traffic profiles and service quality requirements

    Accurate modelling of packet data traffic requires multiple assumptions and complex simulations

    Practical packet data traffic model utilises average bit rate with fixed overhead for protocol and QoS

    The overhead can assumed to be 27%

    This figure includes the L2 re-transmission overhead of 10% and 15% of buffer headroom to avoid overflow (peak to average load ratio headroom) (1+0.10) x

    (1+0.15) = 1.265 26.5% overhead

    Required bit rate = (1 + Overhead) * Average bit rate

  • 11 Nokia Siemens Networks CN31545EN30GLA0

    Example: Traffic models

    Cell traffic: 25 Erl/cell/BH, 750 kbps/cell/BH

    Speech: 25 Erl & 2% blocking 34 traffic channels

    NRT data DL: 750 kbps * (1 + 26%) = 945 kbps

    NRT data UL: 75 kbps * (1 + 26%) = 94.5 kbps

    assumed overhead

    for protocol & QoS

    10% L2 re-transmission overhead

    15% buffer headroom to avoid overflow

    (1+0.10) x (1+0.15) = 1.265 26.5% overhead

    Air interface capacity

    WCDMA air interface capacity can be estimated with system simulations and/or analytical load calculations

    System simulations provide a complete system model and possibility to model system specific parameters and network layout

    Complex tools, not feasible to use for dimensioning

    Dimensioning can be done with pre-analysed results Limited possibility to change system parameters

    Analytical models utilise system and environment specific input parameters and simple models

    Simple analysis can be done as part of dimensioning process

    Parameters configurable flexible model

    Results rely on realistic input parameter values

    Inter-Cell Interference: Little i

    In the real environment we will never have separated cell. Therefore, in the load factor calculation the other cell interferences should be taken into account.

    This can be introduced by means of the Little i value, which describes how much two cells overlap (bigger overlapping more inter-cell interferences)

    Downlink Load calculation

    The DL capacity can be calculated in a similar manner as the UL capacity from the DL Load

    The equations are similar to those of the UL, except two modifications:

    Soft Handover Overhead SHO_OH: an Overhead has to be integrated into the calculation due to Soft Handover; in this case two Node Bs require capacity to serve a single user

    Orthogonality Factor : In the DL, the Intra-Cell Interference should be theoretically Zero ( Orthogonality of Channelisation Codes);

    due to a loss of Orthogonality caused by Multipath transmission,

    the Orthogonality Factor has to be taken into account; j = [0 .. 1.0] propagation channel conditions

    The DL orthogonality & i are different for each user and average values have to be used in DL load calculations

    Load factor for different services has to be calculated separately, total load is then the sum of different services in the cell area

    UL/DL single connection load examples are shown in the table below

    Example: Load calculation

    Is it possible to transmit 34 speech channels in one cell simultaneously with 945 kbps NRT DL data

    and 94.5 kbps NRT UL data?

    Speech: 34 traffic channels

    NRT data: DL = 945 kbps, UL = 94.5 kbps

    Fractional load of 12.2 AMR speech:

    DL Load = 34 * 1.0% = 34%,

    UL load = 34 * 0.97% = 33 %

    Fractional load of NRT data (NRT 128 kbps):

    DL Load = 750 kbps/128 kbps * 11.07% = 64.9 %,

    UL Load = 75 kbps/128 kbps * 8.56% = 5.0 %

    total DL load = 97.9%

    total UL load = 38%

    DL overload!

  • 24 Nokia Siemens Networks CN31545EN30GLA0

    Example: Capacity analysis

    How much DL traffic (in kbps) is possible for a max. allowed DL load of 74%

    simultaneously with 25 speech calls ?

    Speech traffic of 25 Erlangs corresponds average of 25 calls in the cell

    Average speech load: UL = 24%, DL = 25%

    Max. cell power 20 W with 2 W pilot allows max. DL load of 74% in the example cell

    In average 49% load margin available for NRT data in DL

    49% / 11.07% * 128 kbps = 566 kbps

    In average 566 kbps DL available for NRT data

    HSDPA dimensioning can be done based on:

    Requirement to achieve min. HSDPA cell edge throughput Determined from link budget analysis, SINR at cell edge

    Requirement to achieve average HSDPA throughput across the cell Determined by SINR distribution analysis

    HSDPA capacity depends on: Available power for HSDPA

    Channel conditions

    Cell range (pathloss)

    SINR & HSDPA Throughput

    The single-user HSDPA throughput versus its average HS-DSCH SINR is

    plotted.

    Notice that these results include the effect of fast fading & dynamic HS-

    DSCH link adaptation (and HARQ).

    An average HS-DSCH SINR of 23 dB is required to achieve the maximum data

    rate of 3.6 Mbps with 5 HS-PDSCH

    codes

    Benefit from using more codes (10/15) is only experienced for higher SINR

    The G Factor reflects the distance between the MS & BS antenna thus setting a value for G factor means making assumptions on user location.

    A typical range is from -5dB (Cell Edge) to 20dB

    HSUPA Capacity HSUPA Cell Throughput

    Principle: Example ( Diagram)

    max. Load for HSUPA higher than for Rel. 99 DCH* UL(HSUPA) = 80%

    1) UL load is shared between HSUPA & R99 DCH users Rel. 99: 50% Load

    HSUPA: 80% - 50% = 30% Load

    2) UEs distribution inside the cell has impacts on possible C/I;

    impacts on cell throughput

    here: each UE is allocated an equal share of UL Load LHSUPA_UE = 30% / 5 UE = 6%

    LHSUPA_UE = 6% = (1+ i) / ( 1 + 1 / C/I)

    C/I = 1/((1+i)/LHSUPA_UE -1) = 0.051 = - 12.9 dB
