l For the session-type service, requirement on end-to-end delay is strict. For example, for the voiceservice, the delay is required to be smaller than 150ms, and must not exceed 400ms, otherwise, itwill be difficult to understand the voice. The session-type services are typically carried by the CSdomain. For the session-type services, the system can perform no queue processing for the calls. Inthis case, we can use the Erlang B formula or the extended Erlang B formula to calculate.
l Compared with the session-type service, the stream-type service imposes low requirement on theend-to-end delay. Generally, the stream-type service tolerates the call waiting to a greater extent,and can provide the call queue mechanism. In this case, we can use the Erlang C formula tocalculate the blocking probability of this type of users (defined as the probability of the call waitingfor a specified time).
l Interaction-type service refers to the service through which the user requests data from the server. The service is described with the terminal user "s request response pattern. Therefore, round-trip
delay is the most important index of this service type. The interaction-type services are typicallycarried on the CS domain. The background-service tolerates delay to the greatest extent, and cantolerate the delay of a magnitude of an hour. Due to such great delay tolerance, the system cansave such requests in the busy hour, and respond when the channel becomes idle; meanwhile, forsuch services, once a request with higher QoScomes in, the processing can be stopped at any time.
The system decides startup and termination at any time, the above formulas # Erlang B formula andErlang C formula are not applicable. Generally, according to the difference between the maximumnumber of channels and the busy-hour average occupied channels, we can calculate the traffic ofthe background-type service. The users of traffic-type services also tolerate the call waiting to someextent. The system provides a queue mechanism, and uses the Erlang C formula to calculate theblocking rate.

The Contents of Traffic Model
l Service pattern refers to the service features
l User behaviour refers to the conduct of people in using the
service
l Service pattern is a means of researching the capacity features of each service type and theQoSexpected by the users who are using the service from perspective of data transmission.
In the actual application, service pattern is closely related to, and sometimes is no strictlydifferent from, the traffic measurement model.
l In the data application, the user behaviour research mainly forecasts the service typesavailable from the 3G, the number of users of each service type, frequency of using theservice, and the distribution of users in different regions

Typical Service Features Description
l Typical service features include the following feature
parameters:
p User type (indoor ,outdoor, vehicle)
p User " s average moving speed
p Service Type
p Uplink and downlink service rates
p Spreading factor
p Time delay requirements of the service
l For each service, since the channel structure and demodulation method are different, therequired uplink rate is different from the required downlink rate even for the same service
type and the same data rate. For a typical service, we first need to identify whether it isuplink or downlink rate. A typical service can be described by the following parameters:
p User type (indoor users, users inside a vehicle, outdoor users)
p User "s average moving speed (km/h)
p Voice, real-time data, non real time data
p Uplink and downlink service rates (kbps)
p Spread factor (SF)
p Signal delay requirement of the service (ms).
l The above parameters ultimately determine the QoSrequirements of the service.

Parameter Determiningl The basic parameters in the traffic model are determined in the
following ways:
p Obtain numerous basic parameter sample data from the existingnetwork
p Obtain the probability distribution of the parameters throughprocessing of the sample data
p Take the distribution most proximate to the standard probabilityas the corresponding parameter distribution through comparisonwith the standard distribution function
l We have determined the traffic model parameters. The linchpin is to determine suchparameter values. The parameter value varies between different services. Pareto General
standard probability distributions include: logarithmic normal distribution, Paretodistribution, geometrical distribution, and negative exponent distribution.

Basic Principles
l In the WCDMA system, all the cells use the same frequency,
which is conducive to improving the WCDMA system capacity.
However, for reason of co-frequency multiplexing, the system
incurs interference between users. This multi-access
interference restricts the capacity in turn.
l The radio system capacity is decided by uplink and downlink.
When planning the capacity, we must analyze from both uplink
and downlink perspectives.
l Interference is the main factor that decides the system performance of the cellular system. The interference in a cellular system consists of two parts: co-frequency and adjacent
frequency interference. All users in the WCDMA system use the same band. All the usersare different by modulating the respective signal to the code sequences that are mutuallyorthogonal. Therefore, the receiving signal is the sum of all user signals and the channelnoise.

Uplink Interference Analysis Limitation
l The above mentioned theoretic analysis uses the following simplifyingexplicitly or implicitly:
p No consideration of the influence of soft handoverp No consideration of the influence of AMRC and hybrid service
p Ideal power control assumption
p Assume that the users are distributed evenly, and the adjacent cellinterference is constant
l Considering the above factors, the system simulation is a moreaccurate method:
p Static simulation: Monte_Carlo methodp Dynamic simulation
l No consideration of the influence of soft handover
p The users in the soft handover state generates the interference which is slightly lessthan that generated by ordinary users.
l No consideration of the influence of AMRC and hybrid service
p AMRC reduces the voice service rate of some users, and makes them generate lessinterference, and make the system support more users. (But call quality of suchusers will be deteriorated)
p Different services have different data rates and demodulation thresholds. So, weshould use the previous methods for analysis, but it will complicate the calculationprocess.
p Since the time-variable feature of the mobile transmission environment, thedemodulation threshold even for the same service is time-variable.
l Ideal power control assumption
p The power control commands of the actual system have certain error codes so thatthe power control process is not ideal, and reduces the system capacity
l Assume that the users are distributed evenly, and the adjacent cell interference is constant

Downlink Interference Analysis
l :Interference from downlink signal of this cell
p The downlink users are identified with the mutually orthogonal
OVSF codes. In the static propagation conditions without multi-
path, no mutual interference exists.
p In case of multi-path propagation, certain energy will be detected
by the RAKE receiver, and become interference signals. We define
the non-orthogonal factor to describe this phenomenon:
own I
TX jown P I = )(
l Compared to the uplink load equation, the most important new parameter is , whichrepresents the non-orthogonality factor in the downlink. WCDMA employs orthogonal
codes in the downlink to separate users, and without any multi-path propagation theorthogonalityremains when the base station signal is received by the mobile. However, ifthere is sufficient delay spread in the radio channel, the mobile will see part of the basestation signal as multiple access interference. The orthogonality of 1 corresponds toperfectly orthogonal users. Typically, the non-orthogonalityis between 0.1 and 0.6 inmulti-path channels.
l Where:
p P TX is the actual transmission power of NodeB

Downlink Interference Analysis
l : Interference from the downlink signal of adjacent cell
p The transmitting signal of the adjacent cell NodeB will cause
interference to the users in the current cell. Since the scrambling
codes of users are different, such interference is non-orthogonal

Overviewl Definition of a CE:
p A Channel Element is the base band resource required in the Node-B to
provide capacity for one voice channel, including control plane signaling,
compressed mode, transmit diversity and softer handover.
l NodeB Channel Element Capacity
p One BBU3900
n UL 1,536 CEs with full configuration
n DL 1,536 CEs with full configuration
l Due the technical features of the WCDMA, compared with the 2G systems such as GSM,the RNC and Node B present enormous capacity. For example, for the fully configured
NodeB, the number of channels of one carrier is 128, which is more than 10 times of thatsupported by a TRX of GSM. One uplink processing unit of our NODEB has the processingcapacity of 128 12.2kbps voice channels. One 3*1 WCDMA BTS is equivalent to the GSMsites of one S10/10/10. At the beginning of the WCDMA network construction, so high acapacity is not a necessity, and only a portion of it is required (e.g., 10%). If we offer thequotation based on the maximum hardware channel capacity of TRX like the GSM, it willmake the operators incur enormous cost and mismatch the user quantity. To reduce theinitial investment, the operator is bound to pay the equipment price to the supplieraccording to the actual use capacity, and, subsequently, pay more equipment prices with
the increase of the user quantity. This way, the operator will reduce the initial investmentand mitigate the risks.

R99 CE Dimensioning Principlel Peak CE occupied by CS can be obtained through multidimensional ErlangB
algorithm
l Average CE needed by CS and PS depend on the traffic of each service, i.e.

HSDPA CE Dimensioningl In uplink, no CE consumption for HS-DPCCH if corresponding UL DCH
channel exists
l In uplink, CE consumed by one A-DCH depends on its bearing rate
l In downlink, A-DCH is treated as R99 DCH.
l No additional CE needed for HS-DSCH and HS-SCCH
One HSDPA link needone A-DCH in uplink and
downlink respectively

l HSDPA channels doesn "t occupy R99 CE resource, but we should calculate the A-DCH CE.

Downlink Uplink Traffic
HSDPA Channel Elements Consumption
l HSDPA Traffic:
p Separate dedicated module processing HSDPA Traffic so HSDPA traffic does notoccupy any R99 CE resource.
p HS-DSCH and HS-SCCH does not affect base band capacity for R99 services.
l HS-DPCCH
p HS-DPCCH does not consume any R99 Channel Element since its base bandresource is reserved in BBU module.
l UL A-DCH (DPCCH)
p PS64k is recommended to bear uplink user data, TCP acknowledgement andsignaling.
p One PS64k consumes 3 CE in uplink.
l DL A-DCH (DPCCH)
p A-DCH bears DL signaling control.
p Signaling can be carried byHSDPA since RAN10.0.

Case Study (3)
l In this case, the R99 traffic model includes the traffic of HSDPA UL A-DCH, therefore it isno need to calculate the HSDPA UL CE
l For the HSDPA DL A-DCH CE, strictly speaking, it can perform soft handover. But usuallythe CE requirement is low, so in Huawei strategy, the soft handover is not considered.
