Link Budget Module • The tool automatically selects the best possible MCS for
DL and UL (automatic link adaptation) in order to
Capacity maximize the MAPL for a certain Cell Edge User
Throughput
• Tool automatically updates the MCS each
time a different cell edge user throughput
• Two possible options: Data, AMR for different codecs (VoIP)
value is entered.
• Default: Data
• Number of user data bits transmitted to single user • Typical dimensioning cases will be for data. However,
during one TTI (1 ms) customer may required specific dimensioning for VoIP: v 2.3.1
• Transport Block occupies two resource blocks in offers the possibility to do the dimensioning for VoIP as cell-
time domain edge service. Default in this case is: AMR12.2

Link Budget Module • It compensates for SINR differences between the particular link
budget case and the simulated one (link level).
Channel • Defined as: SINR for the effective coding rate – min required SINR

Capacity Calculations
• Cell throughputs are calculated automatically in the Cell Capacity Sheet within the
Tool
• DL and UL Capacity are calculated based on System Level simulations (spectral
efficiency) and LiBu inputs: operating bandwidth, antenna diversity and cell load
• Algorithm calculates the Average Cell throughput (capacity) for a single cell
• Capacity Calculation Methodology:
– Four representative site grids (defined by the inter site distance) have been
simulated in dynamic system level environment (MoRSE)
– UL & DL spectral efficiency figures have been gathered for all available channel
bandwidth configurations (1.4 … 20 MHz)
– When the channel bandwidth and the ISD are known from the link budget
scenario, the spectral efficiency is interpolated/extrapolated based on a look-up
table obtained from the simulator

busy hour) is considered only with the imported traffic model!!

Phase:
• Population and penetration rate are
normally customer inputs. Data is usually
provided yearly or quarterly.
• Both inputs allow for the calculation of LTE
subscribers.
NOTE: If LTE subscribers are provided
directly then, enter the subscribers in the
population field and use 100% for
penetration rate
Area Size:
• Customer provided input per clutter type

Important notice:
Please note that in the calculation for the number of sites due to the capacity reasons
The cell load is not any more considered
This is because the cell load is considered already when calculating the cell
throughput so it should not be considered twice!!

System Module:
Options:
• FSME: high capacity system module
• FSMD: lower capacity system module
• Note: FSME as it is the only one
supported by RL10
Product Release:
• As the number of supported active users per FSME module (see next slide) changes with the
releases it is necessary to specify the RL.
• Recommended: RL10 ( to be in line with the dimensioning)

• Calculate the number of eNodeB necessary to fulfill the coverage, capacity and
HW requirements presented in the next slides
• Prepare to explain shortly the dimensioning methods used, results and the main
difficulties you experienced
• Please notice that not all parameters are defined by the operators in these cases.
You should assume reasonable values for these parameters
• Exercise based on real RFQ cases although modified to adapt to the training
