Basically LTE capacity dimensioning includes two parts which are capacity dimensioning for single site and total network throughput calculation.
Capacity dimensioning for single site is performed based on some dimensioning parameters such as duplex mode, system bandwidth and etc.
Total traffic volume calculation is performed based on service model and traffic model. Firstly the single user throughput is calculated. Then the total network
throughput is output.
The Number of eNodeB by capacity is the result that the total traffic volume is divided by the single site capacity.
By simulation SINR can be mapped to MCS. A certain MCS corresponds to a certain throughput. So finally cell average throughput can be obtained by SINR distribution.
Based on service model and traffic model, the single user network throughput can be calculated. Then the total network throughput can be obtained by multiplexing the
Service model describe the service pattern which includes some typical parameters for different service types.
Session Time : the duration of each PPP session Session Duty Ratio: the data transmission ratio of each PPP session BLER: Block Error Rate Bearer Rate : the service application layer(IP) bearer rate
Penetration Ratio: proportion of service type BHSA: busy hour session attempts for single user
Single User Throughput can be calculated based on traffic model and service model. Basically it is the sum of throughput of different service types for one subscriber.
For PS service some margin should be reserved for burst traffic. So the parameter Peak to Average Ratio is used in the formula.
The throughput in IP layer and MAC layer are different. For the same traffic data flow the throughput in MAC is greater than that in IP layer because PDCP header/RLC header/MAC
header are added. The relative efficiency is related to the packet size. In the table a packet size with 300 bytes is used as example.
U-NET can simulate the throughput of the MAC layer and the application layer and the throughput of each service on the basis of sites and cells.
Actual transmit power Uplink IoT Actual uplink load Number of uplink RBs in use Number of downlink RBs in use Uplink/downlink service rate of the MAC layer Uplink/downlink service rate of the application layer Number of subscribers in each state
U-NET can simulate the different UE states such as No Access, Offline, Uplink No Cover, Downlink No Cover and etc.
