Correia, “Deployment Scenarios for Mobile Broadband Communications,” in Proc. of PIMRC’ 2000-11th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, London, UK, Sep. 2000.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/14480The multi-service traffic analysis of a mobile broadband system (MBS), with a given mixture of applications, requires the definition of their main operation environments, corresponding to the residential, the mixed (half business/half residential), the business and the industrial markets. In this work, the respective deployment scenarios are defined by the values for the usage of a set of 26 applications. The usage of broadband applications (>2 Mb/s) increases from the residential market (17%) to the business one (25%), corresponding to a decrease in the usage of wideband (<2 Mb/s) ones (from 50 down to 42%), and to a constant value for the usage of low-MBS ([128, 384] kb/s) ones (33%); slight differences exist from the business to the industrial market. The actual number of users also depends on the density factor, varying from 0.004 users/m/sup 2/ in the industrial scenario to 0.150 users/m/sup 2/ in hotspots, e.g., offices.engMobile Broadband SystemsForecastingDeployment scenariosMobile broadband communicationsconference object10.1109/PIMRC.2000.881500
