There are 6 steps for the GPRS capacity planning:

Calculate the average bearing rate over the IP layer according to the data rate of each coding scheme and the ratio of each coding scheme to the overall coding schemes. Calculate the bandwidth of each GPRS channel. Calculate the traffic volume per GPRS MS in busy hours. Calculate the maximum number of MSs per cell as follows:

Determine whether the CS services and PS services are limited under a certain number of MSs. Use the double Iterative algorithm to calculate the maximum number of MSs in a cell.

Calculate the number of PDCHs occupied by GPRS services. Calculate the number of static and dynamic PDCHs required by actual GPRS services.

Considering the IP rate, if RLC is NACK mode, then LLC normally is not NACK mode, so the retransmission rate on LLC layer should be considered. And the bandwidth consumption of retransmission on LLC layer is usually greater than that on RLC/MAC layer. So NACK mode on RLC layer cannot enhance the bearing rate of IP layer compared with ACK mode.

Where, means round up, means round down. The system transmit one radio block every 20ms. If the required bearing rate of physical layer on Gb interface is VGb for each PDCH: Suppose the frame format of Gb interface is: IP data+H2 bytes VGbRi (IP data+H2) / IP data = Ri (32053) / 3201.166V_IP

This result is almost decided by the average length of IP block, whose typical value is 320.

Generally, the data rate should be calculated according to the traffic model. Hereunder provides assumptions and facts for data rate calculation. The following assumptions can be made:

1) The SNDCP (SubNetwork Dependent Convergence Protocol) is not compressed and decompressed, and is not segmented and reassembled. (Such an IP packet is transferred as an LLC PDU across the LLC layer.) 2) LLC performs transfer with unacknowledged mode. 3) The format of an LLC frame is: LLC header (9 bytes) + SNDCP header (4 bytes) + IP data + FCS (Frame Check Sequence, 3 bytes). Each data packet seizes a RLC length indication byte. 4) RLC performs transfer with acknowledged mode and 10% of retransmission rate is considered. 5) An IP packet is 320 bytes in length in average. 6) IP data flows continuously within 10 IP packets at least. 7) A radio block is transmitted every 20ms. Generally, a RLC/MAC header seizes 3 bytes. If tail bits are not considered, the LLC PDU bytes can be transmitted in each RLC data packet is 20 under CS1 (Channel Coding Scheme), 30 under CS2, 36 under CS3, and 50 under CS4. For the transfer performed with RLC acknowledged mode, the transfer of an LLC PDU means a TBF establishment and release procedure. Generally, during a TBF establishment and release procedure, the overhead of the RLC/MAC control blocks account for 20% of the total radio blocks. This overhead includes the time for TBF establishment and release. The protocol headers of FR, NS, BSSGP, LLC, and SNDCP across the Gb interface total 53 bytes.

Hereunder lists the facts for the data rate calculation:

For CS1, CS3 and CS4, the results are 5.73 Kbps, 10.3 Kbps and 14.4 Kbps.

The valid coverage area is subject to two parameters: signal-to-noise ratio (C/N) and signal strength. C/N determines the signal transmission quality (bit error rate BER or block error rate BLER). The coverage area analysis is based on the similarity between the two parameters in the GPRS system and the two parameters in the GSM system. For different coding schemes on the same channel, the BERs are different. For the same BER on the same channel, the coverage areas under different coding schemes are different. The BER performance mentioned later refers to the BLER.

When the BLER in CS1 coding scheme is lower than 10%, the requirement is the same as the C/I requirement of voice quality level 4. When the BLER in CS2 coding scheme is lower than 10%, the requirement is the same as the C/I requirement of voice quality level 3. Therefore, you can analyze the GPRS network coverage based on the existing GSM network coverage and voice quality. In CS1 coding scheme, the coverage area of the GPRS network is almost the same as that of the GSM network. In CS2 coding scheme, as the C/I is improved, the coverage area of the GPRS network is about 80% of that of the GSM network.

If the quality of the GPRS/EDGE services on the GSM1800 network is low because of the poor coverage of the GSM1800 network, you need to improve the coverage planning for the GSM1800 network or change the strategy of the GSM1800 preferred.
