Abstract(s)

Aspects of cellular planning for E-UMTS (Enhanced UMTS) are addressed, and results for system capacity are obtained, as a function of the coverage distance. E-UMTS traffic generation and activity models are described and characterised, based on population and service penetration values. An urban scenario was defined with a selection of relevant multi-rate bursty applications. By using a System Level Simulator results were obtained for the end-to-end delay, and for blocking and handover failure probabilities. By using these results, models for the supported fraction of active users and throughput were obtained, as a function of the cell coverage distance. When the coverage distance decreases from 600 to ~200 m, the supported throughput per km2 increases from ~1Mb/s to ~5 Mb/s. By using trisectorial antennas with one amplifier a maximum throughput per BS of 600kb/s was obtained.
