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
For internal use
Traffic information
The subscriber density and user 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) subscriber during busy hour of the network
Target bit rates

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

Real time traffic (speech, video call, video streaming) is
commonly modelled with Erlang-B model
Average traffic (Erlangs)
Blocking probability (%)
Required number of traffic channels

Non-real time traffic (web, email services) can be modelled as
average traffic with defined overhead

For internal use
Erlang-B model
Erlang-B model is used for
system without queuing

Assumes random call arrival

Blocking probability can be
calculated as

A = traffic in Erl

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
For internal use
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

Load Calculation Introduction
For internal use
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

Load Calculation Examples
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
For example 50 % UL load means on average 50 speech users or about 9

Example load calculation
Speech: 34 traffic channels

NRT data: DL 945 kbps, UL 94.5 kbps

Fractional load of 12.2 AMR speech: Load DL = 34 * 1.0% = 34%, load
UL = 34 * 0.97% = 33 %

Fractional load of NRT data, 128 kbps bearer: Load DL = 750
kbps/128 kbps * 11.07% = 64.9 %, Load UL = 75 kbps/128 kbps *
8.56% = 5.0 %

Total load DL = 97.9%, total load UL = 38% DL overload!
For internal use
Example Capacity analysis
Speech traffic of 25 Erlangs corresponds average of 25 calls
in the cell
Average speech load: UL 24%, DL 25%

Maximum cell power 20 W with 2 W pilot allows maximum 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

HSDPA Capacity Introduction
HSDPA dimensioning can be done based on
Requirement to achieve minimum HSDPA throughput at cell edge
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)
Interference level over cell area
HSDPA features
and configuration
For internal use
HSDPA Capacity HSDPA power calculation
When using Dynamic Resource Allocation feature BTS can
allocate all unused DL power to HSDPA
All the power available after DCH traffic, HSUPA control channels and
common channels can be used for HSDPA
HSDPA power is shared dynamically between HS-SCCH and
HS-PDSCH

HSDPA Capacity G-Factor
The G Factor reflects the distance between the MS and 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
Typical G factor distributions (CDF) coming from NSN
simulation tools as well as operator field experience are
represented in the following chart:

Example Target
Uplink Load
Uplink Load generated
by R99 DCH
Uplink Load available
for HSUPA UE
Methodology
The uplink load is shared between HSUPA and R99 DCH uplink load
Uplink load is translated to uplink C/I using the uplink load equation
UEs distribution inside the cell impacts on possible C/I thus it also impacts on cell
throughput
By default, each UE is allocated an equal share of UL Load.
The saving in uplink load is re-distributed to the UE closer to the cell

BB capacity dimensioning for DCH traffic
The calculation of the BTS resource requirement is based on
the total required number of physical channels for the data
and CCCH processing requirement
Physical channels for CS traffic are calculated based on the
total traffic in the BTS and blocking %
Physical channels for PS NRT traffic are calculated based on
the total traffic in the BTS and bearer bit rate
SHO overhead is added to the UL and DL
# cells = # sectors * #carriers
Traffic_site = # cells * Traffic_cell
Physical_channels = Erlb_B(Traffic_site, blocking %) * (1 +
SHO_overhead)
For internal use
Example: BB capacity for DCH
Speech: 24 Erl/cell

In RU10 this fixed activation is not needed
BTS Resource Manager can dynamically allocate additional BB resources
for HSUPA.
Depending on the total amount of free available CE (#licenses and installed
HW capacity) and the traffic load,
A max. of 128 CE in UltraSite and 160 CE (RU10 = 240CEs) in Flexi BTS
can be utilized by HSUPA.
In case of conflict with R99 RT or NRT traffic needs, BTS Resource manager
will reduce the amount of BB resources available for HSUPA.
HSUPA user can reach max 2.0 Mbps
HSUPA is used only together with HSDPA for DL
In addition to the CE consumption for HSDPA and HSUPA activation, 1
CE for signaling is required per user.
Flexi BTS Rel2 HW HSUPA dimensioning: to be defined
Note: Softer HO overhead is included in the CE dimensioning table (Table
3), similarly as with Rel99 DCH

Number of HSUPA resource steps allocated to get certain combined BTS
baseband L1 throughput with certain number of UEs:
UEs Peak Throughput depends on how many
simultaneous UEs there are in each HSUPA
resource step at a time:
1-2 UEs in one HSUPA resource step:
2 Mbps peak rate per UE
1.4 Mbps peak rate per UE
384 kbps - <1.4 Mbps peak rate per UE

Example: to get 4.2 Mbps combined (of
all UEs) L1 throughput with 12 users, 3
HSUPA resource steps are needed i.e.
Resource steps 1-3 (32 CE + 24 CE + 24

HSUPA improvements in RU10
- Rel1 HW (FSMB)
HSUPA fixed allocation is 0 CE
In RAS06 when HSUPA is activated an 8 CE fixed reservation is done

Number of HSUPA UE per BTS/LCG increased to 60
In RAS06 max 24 users per BTS (20 per cell)
Max 20 UE per cell also in RU10
Total BTS level throughput increased to 12.6 Mbps (8.4 Mbps in RAS06)
See HSUPA resource steps and dimensioning tables in next slides

Improved resource handling:
Resource Manager will reallocate free resources (relieved from Rel99) back to HSUPA.
Improves user throughput
In RAS06 only new HSUPA calls are allocated to relieved resources

HSUPA users can be moved between Flexi sub modules.
Improves HSUPA user throughput as second submodule is taken earlier into use as in RAS06
In RAS06 HSUPA users can not be moved from one sub module to another

FSMD capacity with HSPA (RU10)
FSMD enables very high usage of HSPA and leaving lots of capacity for
R99
With one FSMD you can have up to 4 shared HSDPA schedulers with 15
codes and 64 users/LCG
Still there is room for HSUPA and R99
With one FSMD you can also enable dedicated schedulers for 5 cells
With two FSMD you can share easily two operators RAN with high HSDPA
usage
