AIR INTERFACE CELL CAPACITY OF WCDMA SYSTEMS

摘要

Significant increases in wireless subscribers and traffic, with new bandwidth consuming applications such as gaming, music downloads and video streaming have placed new and high demands of RF capacity on UMTS network operators. To determine the capacity of a WCDMA RAN, it is essential to understand the capacity of a single WCDMA cell, which is also referred to as the WCDMA cell capacity. This article outlines the simple WCDMA cell capacity estimations by showing the WCDMA cell capacity as a function of the mobility channel and user traffic mix.
