  • Enhanced UMTS Cost/Revenue Optimisation in Offices Scenarios
    Publication . Cabral, Orlando Manuel Brito; Velez, Fernando José; Hadjipollas, George; Stylianou, Marinos; Antoniou, Josephine; Vassiliou, Vasilis; Pitsillides, Andreas
    In this paper Enhanced UMTS offices scenarios and classes of services up to wideband are taken into account. A model is proposed for optimising Enhanced UMTS based in costs and revenues. A system level simulator is used to obtain the blocking probability, and other QoS measures, e.g., handover failure probability and delay. Using these results, one obtains the system capacity, i.e., the supported fraction of active users and throughput for a given grade of service. The profit (in percentage) was obtained, and the optimum (most profitable) cell radius was found. A higher number of pico-cells (with a cell radius around 34 m) will be a profitable solution for the optimisation of network planning. This will also allow for increasing system capacity and reducing prices.
