METHOD AND COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING THE PERFORMANCE AND FOR DIMENSIONING AN UNDERLAY/OVERLAY CELL OF A TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and a computer system for analyzing the performance and for carrying out the dimensioning of at least one portion of a telecommunication system, including a first and a second network subportion capable of allocating communication-channel requests by mobile terminals, said first network subportion being able to sustain the corresponding communications in high and/or low-symbol-rate traffic channels, said second network subportion being able to sustain the corresponding communications in high and/or low-symbol-rate traffic channels, characterized by the fact of comprising the further steps of providing an average service duration (TOL) of said communications in said first network subportion and an average service duration (TUL) of said communications in said second network subportion, providing the characteristics of said communication-channel requests, providing an amount of resources and the resource configuration in said first and in said second network subportion, comprising a step of reducing the number of the possible states of said network portion. Said characteristics of said communication-channel requests comprise the capability, of said mobile terminals, to sustain calls on high-symbol-rate and/or on low-symbol-rate traffic channels and the capability to support a primary and/or a secondary frequency band. Said portion of a telecommunication system comprises a GSM underlay/overlay cell, said first network subportion comprises an overlay cell and said second network subportion comprises an underlay cell.
