Introduction - Aim of Radio Dimensioning
> Operators Needs
Predict how many users per cell will be supported by current network
When traffic increases
When Call-Profile changes
Call-Profile : Statistic distribution of traffic classes during a Busy Hour

Quantify the benefits of specific new features
in terms of network capacity, i.e. how many users per cell
will be supported by the future network

Optimize current/future network, in order to support
as many users as possible
> Nortels expertise
Radio Propagation, Network Capacity Analysis
UMTS Features knowledge (HSxPA, Multi-Carrier UMTS, etc.)
Radio Dimensioning leads to
Network Optimization and Hardware Dimensioning Recommendations

Radio Dimensioning Activity (downlink) at Core WNE
Remarks
> HSxPA Capacity Limitations
Downlink Capacity is often limitating (compared to Uplink Capacity)

> Propagation Model
Assumed the same for each UE
(Path-Loss Model, Delay Profile,
Downlink Orthogonality Factor, UE Velocity)

> Call-Profile (statistic distribution of traffic classes)
Gives User () Average Transfer Speed
for each Release 99 RAB and for HSDPA

Transfer Speeds averaged towards a Busy Hour
(i.e. Activity Factor for each RAB taken into account)

Assumption for Simulation :
Each user in the cell has the same unique Call-Profile
(False in the real world, but useful statistic concept for simulation)

Conclusion
>Aim of Radio Dimensioning
Predict network capacity for the future
Quantify the benefits of specific new features
in terms of network capacity
Used as an input for Network Optimization
and Hardware Dimensioning
>Difficulties
Great attention must be paid to the realism of
input parameters and scenarios
Coping with imperfections in models used for simulation
Hata Model originally designed for Dense Urban, then tuned for
other environments (Cost-Hata model) -> not optimal for Rural, etc?
In theory Cost-Hata Model should not be used for small distances
(several hundred of meters), but is widely in practice
