1 Overview
WCDMA radio network dimensioning involves cell uplink/downlink link budget, cell
uplink/downlink capacity dimensioning, NodeB CE number dimensioning and NodeB Iub
interface transmission flow dimensioning, and so on. These dimensioning principles are
introduced in dedicated documents separately, but provided no convenience for viewing
and learning the WCDMA radio network dimensioning principles as a whole. For this, the
document summaries these principles, providing clear physical explanations on various
parts of the radio network dimensioning principles, and providing mathematical deduction
process as much as possible.
This document comprises the following chapters:
Chapter 1: Brief introduction to the objective and main contents of this document.
Chapter 2: Introduction to the link budget principle. (To keep the integrity of the radio
network dimensioning principles, this part is present as a chapter providing the reference
documents only, without the specific link budget principle).
Chapter 3: The capacity dimensioning principles are given, including the uplink
capacity and downlink capacity dimensioning principles.
Chapter 4: The dimensioning principle and dimensioning process of the number of
NodeB CEs are explained.
Chapter 5: The dimensioning principle and dimensioning process of NodeB Iub
interface transmission flow are described detaily.
Chapter 6: The pending problems in the radio network dimensioning are proposed.
Chapter 7: Appendixes.
2 Link Budget Principle
With link budget, we can work out the cell coverage radius in different scenarios and
different services covered. For the link budget principle, refer to WCDMA RNP

3 Capacity Dimensioning Principle
3.1 Brief Introduction to Cell Capacity Dimensioning
The WCDMA system can provide the users with diversified services, such as voice
service, CS data service, and PS services at various rates. For these mixed services, the
cell capacity analysis are very complicated, and there is no good solution method yet.
Before the capacity dimensioning for mixed services, you need to determine the
solutions for the following problems:
(1) GoS for CS services and PS services
GoS of CS services: It is the requirement on the blocking probability of the CS
services. For example, the GoS of the AMR12.2k voice
service can be represented by a blocking probability of 2%;
and that of the Videophone can be represented by a
blocking probability of 5%.
GoS of PS services: It is the requirement on the probability for the delay due to
queuing of the PS services. For example, for a 90%
probability, the queuing delay should be less than 2s.
(2) CS Service: Mixed sevice capacity dimensioning method
The Kaufman Robert algorithm is used to meet different GoS requirements of
various CS services. In the uplink capacity dimensioning, the uplink load of CS
service is taken as shared resource at the cell level; while in the donwlink
capacity dimensioning, the downlink transmit power of CS service is taken as
the shared resource at the cell level.
(3) PS service: Mixed service capacity dimensioning method
Before the RRM simulation result comes out1, the PS service dimensioning is
1 The RRM simulation team will provide the simulation result with the GoS requirement of PS services
affecting the PS service throughput.

performed with ErlangC, which can embody the GoS requirement of the PS
services. Dimensioning the PS services respectively. Then, dimensoning uplink
capacity , and sum up the uplink load generated by each PS service as the cell
uplink load requirement of all the PS services; for donwlink capacity
dimensioning, sum up the downlink transmit powers of each PS service as the
downlink transmit power of all donwlink PS services.
(4) Consideration on soft handover proportion
Uplink capacity dimensioning: Wihtout considering the influence of soft
handover on the uplink traffic
The uplink MDC gain is calculated based on
0.3dB.
Downlink capacity dimensioning: Considering the influence of soft handover
on the downlink transmit power
The downlink MDC gain is calculated based
on 1.0dB.
Note:
(i) RNC: Generally speaking, we performs soft handover processing for all the services with the
bearer rate less than 384k. In the network dimensioning, we may give a high-level item for setting
whether to perform soft handover processing for the services with the bearer rate above 64k.
(ii) Algorithm group: There is no simulation on the corresponding relation between the services with
different bearer rates and the MDC gains. After discussion with the simuation engineers, the MDC gain
varies a little with the services at different bearer rates. In the network dimensioning, we can consider the
MDC gains are identical for all serices.
(5) Activity factors of various services
AMR voice service: the activity factor is 0.67.
CS data service: the activity factor is 1.0.
PS data service: the activity factor is 0.9 as recommended.
Note:
Suppose the DCCC switch is turmed on, the activity factor of PS services should be close to 1, and it
-

is recommeded to be 0.9.
The following are the cell uplink dimensioning process and cell downlink capacity
dimensioning process:
Note:
The cell capacity discussed here is specailly for dedicated channel, instead of common channel.
Generally, some low-rate services (for example, lower than 32kbps) can be borne by common channels.
The capacity of common channel is under research.
3.2 Dimensioning of Cell Uplink Capacity of Mixed Services
Before the cell uplink capacity dimensioning, here briefs the calculation of the cell
uplink load first.
The documentation of WCDMA for UMTS [3] provides the uplink load calculation, as
shown below:

(ii) In the formula (3-2), specifies the sectorization gain, and SN refers to the number of sectors of the BS.
The main differences between the formula (3-1) and the formula (3-2): a) ( ) job NE

in the formula (3-1) corresponds to the activity factor j , while that in the formula (3-2) corresponds to full rate, so they are consistent in principle; b) In the formula (3-2),
sectorization gain is considered.
In the currernt calculation, we use the formula (3-1). But the existing ( ) job NE is obtained by means of simulation with full rate (that means the activity factor is 1), we
should use the formula (3-2).
Hence, for the cell uplink capacity calculation present below, we use the formula (3-2)
for description and explanation.
3.2.1 Calculating Single User Load of Each Service in Cell Uplink
The single user load should be calcaulted for the users with soft handover and the
users without soft handover respectively. As the service with soft handover has
MDC gain, the corresponding signle user load will be smaller. With the formula (3-2),
we can work it out as follows:

(6) SHO: Ratio of users performing uplink soft handover.
3.2.2 Calculating Total Number of Users Supported by Cell
Calculate the nubmer of covered users by means of link budget as the total number
of users the cell uplink needs to support.
Note: The above is only for the case of single carrier. For the case of multi-carrier, it
is calculated as follows:
rriersNumberOfCaveredUsersNumberOfCoellpportedByCrOfUsersSuTotalNumbe .
Note:
(1) Calculate the cell coverage radius based on link budget result, and then work out the cell
coverage area.
(2) Calculate the total number of users supported by the cell based on the density of traffic and cell
coverage area.
(3) In terms of capacity, the number of users to be supported is greater than or equal to the number
of covered users, so the number of covered users calculated by means of link budget can be an input for
capacity dimensioning. It is similar for the downlink.
(4) If the total number of covered users cannot meet the GoS requirement of CS or PS services, the
capacity will be limited; otherwise, the coverage is limited.
3.2.3 Calculating Cell Load of Single PS Service

(3) refers to the maximum load allowed by the CS service of the cell uplink, . C c C(4) Please note that both cell load and single user load are less than 100%, we cannot calculate the
blocking probability of each service with the formula (11). To use the formula (11) properly, it is
necessary to adjust the cell uplink load of CS service and the single user load of CS service based on a
specific ratio. It is recommended to enlarge the single user load and cell uplink load by 10000 times.
Suppose the cell uplink load of CS service is 30%, and the single user load of the voice service is 0.82%.
In the actual calculation, we can set the cell load of the CS service to 3000, and the single user load of
the voice service to 82. Of course, in the actual calculation process, we can find a suitable multiple for
enlarging based on the precision of the calculation result and the calculation rate.

calcualted as follows:

Please note that the downlink resource here refers to the downlink transmit power of CS
service. As the downlink transmit power of PS service has been worked out with the formula (18),
so we can get the maximum CS service transmit power of by subtracting the PS service ransmit
power from the total transmit power. Suppose the target load of the cell downlink is 75%, with
25% for common channels and 50% for traffic channel. If the maximum transmit power of the cell
downlink is 20W, the total transmit power of the traffic channels will be 10W. Suppose the
transmit power of PS service is 5W, the maximum transmit power of CS service will be 5W too.

unit. In the actual iteration dimensioning, you can select a suitable unit for optimal dimensioning precision
and dimensioning speed, for example, 5mW.
3.4 Balance between Cell Coverage and Cell Capacity
The cell coverage redius corresponding to the cell load can be worked out by means

of link budget, together with the density of traffic, the number of covered users can be
calculated. Then based on the number of users supported by the uplink cell and that
supported by the downlink cell worked out by means of uplink/dowlink capacity
dimensioning, compare the number of the covered users with the cell capacity. If the
coverage and capacity are not balanced, you can balance them by adjusting the cell load
(uplink load or downlink load), so as to complete the iteration dimensioning to get the cell
radius after coverage and capacity balancing. For a certain coverage area, the minimum
number of NodeBs required for coverage and the maximum number of users supported by
each sector can be worked out.[7].
The following figure shows the basic idea of coverage and capacity iteration
dimensioning.

4 NodeB CE Dimensioning Principle
4.1 Brief Introduction to NodeB CE Dimensioning
CE, channel element, corresponds to basic baseband processing unit one by one.
For the existing NodeB version, the CE resource of NodeB is shared within the site.
Huawei recommends calculating the number of CEs based on Site.
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only
2004-07-19 All rights reserved. Page 21 of 50
In the calculation of the number of CEs, use the principle similar to that for NodeB
capacity dimensioning, namely, Campbell theorem, and then combine different bearers
into a virtual bearer to get the Erlangs of this virtual bearer, including uplink Erlang and
downlink Erlang. With this method, the number of NodeB CEs worked out will be neither
optimistic nor pessimistic. The documentations [2, 8] provide the comparison result.
With the ErlangB calculation formula based on a certain blocking probability, you can
work out the trunks required for the corresponding virtual bearer (for uplink and downlink
respectively). Based on the trunks required for virtual bearer together with the
CE_Amplitude under this virtual bearer, you can work out the number of CEs of uplink and
downlink of the NodeB site.
Of course, you can further calculate the number of uplink boards and downlink boards
to be configured in NodeB.
4.2 NodeB CE Number Calculation
1. Corresponding relation between bearer rate and CE_Amplitude
Different bearer rates may consume different numbers of CEs. The corresponding
relations between bearer rates and the equivalent CE numbers are shown in the following
table.

For voice service and CS data, as the traffic of a single user in busy hours is
known, you can calculate the corresponding and
based on the number of users supported by NodeB,. For example,
= Traffic of a single user in busy hours number of users supported by NodeB.
The traffic of the CS data service can be calculated in the same method.

For PS services, as the throughput of a single user in busy hours is known, you
can calculate the traffic of a single user of the corresponding PS service in busy
hours. Together with the number of users supported by NodeB, you can
calculate of the PS service with the method similar to that for
of CS service.

5 Iub Interface Flow Dimensioning Principle
5.1 Brief Introduction to Iub Interface
The UMTS system is composed of three parts: CN, UTRAN and UE. The interface
between CN and UTRAN is defined as Iu interface, and that between UTRAN and UE is
defined as Uu interface. UTRAN can comprise multiple radio network subsystems (RNS).
Each RNS can contain one RNC and one or more NodeBs.
The interface between RNC and NodeB is Iub interface. The following is the structure

In the 3GPP protocol, all the interfaces in UTRAN and the interface between UTRAN
and CN apply the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) as the transmission mechanism.
The Iub interface is open. The basic functions implemented by the Iub interface are
as follows:

management, data transmission, and so on.

power management, transmission channel management, data transmission,
and so on.

Figure 3 Iub interface protocol structure
From the view of horizontal plane of the above figure, the protocol structure
comprises radio network layer and transmission network layer; from the view of vertical
plane, the protocol structure comprises control plane and user plane.
An Iub interface is connected with one RNC and one NodeB. The transmission
information in the Iub interface can be divided into three types:
(1) Radio application relevant signaling: The Iub interface allows the negotiation
between RNC and NodeB for the relevant radio resource. The information for
broadcast channel control and the information transmitted on the broadcast
channel are this type of signaling. In addition, the operation maintenance
signaling between NodeB and RNC belong to this type of signaling.
(2) Iub dedicated channel data stream
(3) Iub common channel data stream
The dimensioning of the transmission flow of the Iub interface involves not only the
service data transmission flow of the expected users on the Iub interface, but also the
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only

factors like signaling flow. Based on the related documentations[10] and Huaweis relevant
document[11], the transmission bandwidth required for the Iub interface and the relevant
transmission configurations as well can be calculated.
5.2 Basic Ideas for Iub Interface Flow Dimensioning
The main purpose of the Iub interface transmission flow is to provide reference for
interface configuration in the engineering procedure, as well as the interface configuration
in other occasions.
The following factors need to be considered for the dimensioning of data transmission
flow of the Iub Interface:
(1) FP data frame utilization
(2) AAL2 utilization ratio
(3) NBAP flow
(4) AAL5 utilization ratio
(5) ATM cell utilization ratio
(6) E1 utilization ratio
(7) ALCAP flow
(8) FP payload flow
(9) FP control frame flow
(10) Operation maintenance signaling flow
We can view from the protocol structure of Iub interface from Figure 3 that the
transmission flow of the Iub interface is the sum of three parts of flows, that is, Iub user
plane flow + Iub control plane flow + Iub maintenance bandwidth. Therefore, the following
are the dimensioning procedures for Iub user plane flow and Iub control plane flow
respectively.

5.3 Dimensioning of Iub Interface Transmission Flow
5.3.1 Dimensioning of Iub User Plane Flow
1. Flow features with considering FP/AAL2 encapsulation overhead
For the frame format, refer to TS25.427. As the overhead of the uplink FP frame is
greater than that of the downlink FP, the flow should be calculated based on the uplink FP
overhead.
The data encapsulated by FP is then encapsulated by AAL2. During AAL2
encapsulation, 3 bytes of overhead (CID/LI/UUI/HEC) is added to the header of each
micro cell. The payload of each micro cell is 44 bytes, and the excessive ones will be
segmented for encapsulation.
The calculation formula for the data rate after FP/AAL2 encapsulation is as follows:
(Header CRC/FT+CFN+TFI+TB+QE+CRCI+spare+CRC+AAL2 HEAD)8/TTI .
Note:
According to the protocol, the spare of data frame is 0 to 2 bytes, the spare of control frame is 0 to 32
types. The RNC supports filling in, but not during transmitting (that means it is not for downlink).
In the following flow calculation, it is specified that the uplink data frame uses a 2-byte spare, and the
control frame uses a 0-byte spare, for calcualting the maximum flow in theory, and the one in the actual
application can be analogized according to NodeB.
The following are the data rates of the AMR full rate service after FP/AAL2
encapsulation (The ARM takes the coding unit of 20ms, that is, 50 frames/s, and full rate
means the channel activity factor is 1)
12.2kbps: (1+1+3+11+13+8+1+1+2+2+3)8/0.02=18.4kbps

2. FP control frame overhead
(a) TIMING ADJUSTMENT: 5byte, Spare Extension: 0--32byte
When a time window appears, NodeB sends the time adjusting frame,
supposed once per 100TTI (TTI=20ms) for each DCH bearer, the flow will be 16
bps.
The time adjusting frame seldom occurs in the actual environment.
(b) DL SYNCHRONISATION: 3byte. Spare Extension: 0--32byte
Transport channel synchronization is used for the synchronization of the initial
setup stage, and for the troubleshooting for the bottom layer AAL2 as well. The
flow of synchronization for the initial stage can be omitted (as service data
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only

transmission has not started yet), and that of the synchronization for
troubleshooting is related to the detection cycle.
For example, if the detection is performed once per 5s, the flow will be 9.6 bps.
(c) UL SYNCHRONISATOIN: 5byte, Spare Extension: 0--32byte
The transport channel synchronization is used for the synchronization of the
initial setup stage, and for the troubleshooting for the bottom layer AAL2 as
well. The flow of synchronization for the initial stage can be omitted (as service
data transmission has not started yet), and that of the synchronization for
troubleshooting is related to the detection cycle.
For example, if the detection is performed once per 5s, the flow will be 64 bps.
(d) OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL: 3byte, Spare Extension: 0--32byte
The SIR used for updating outer loop power control. Suppose it is once per
400ms, the load flow will be 120 bps.
(e) DL NODE SYNCHRONISATION: 5byte, Spare Extension: 0--32byte
Node synchronization is used for Iub delay estimation. It does not attach to call
service, thus can be omitted.
(f) UL NODE SYNCHRONISATION: 11byte, Spare Extension: 0--32byte
Node synchronization is used for Iub delay estimation. It does not attach to call
service, thus can be omitted.
(g) DSCH TFCI SIGNALLING [FDD]: 5byte, Spare Extension: 0--32byte, once
per10ms
At present, the system does not support DSCH, so the flow of DSCH TFCI
SIGNALLING is not considered for the moment.
(h) RADIO INTERFACE PARAMETER UPDATE [FDD]: 6byte, Spare Extension:
0--32byte
Radio parameter update will be initiated after the handover is completed and
RLS is added. It can be omitted.
Note:
The typical structure of control frame is: (Frame CRC+FT)+Control Frame Type+Control

Information+Spare Extension. Where Frame CRC+FT is 1byte, and Control Frame Type is 1byte.
In the above calculation, the uplink control frame uses a 32-byte spare, for calcualting the maximum
flow in theory. It can be analogized according to the realization of the NodeB in the actual application.
Spare filling is not performed for the downlink RNC.
The following table lists the data rates corresponding to various FP control frames.
Table 2 Rate of FP control frame
Message name Rate (bps) TIMING ADJUSTMENT 160 DL SYNCHRONISATION 9.6 UL SYNCHRONISATION 64 OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL 120 DL NODE SYNCHRONISATION It is used for Iub delay estimation, and it does

not considered for the moment. RADIO INTERFACE PARAMETER UPDATE[FDD]
Radio parameter update will be initiated after the handover is completed and RLS is added, so it can be omitted.
From the above analysis, the flow of control frame is much lower than that of service
data frame, so it can be omitted.
3. Common channel
Common channel is set up in the cell setup stage with the default channel
configurations for general cases.
The default configurations of various channels are as follows:
(a) RACH
TBSize=168 or 360bit, TTI=10ms, the maximum traffic is calculated based on
360 bits.
Header CRC/TF+CFN+TFI+PropagationDelay+TB+CRCI+spare+CRC+AAL2
header
The flow after FP/AAL2 encapsulation is:
(1+1+1+1+360 / 8+1+2+2+32)8 / 0.01 = 48kbps.
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only
2004-07-19 All rights reserved. Page 32 of 50
Each cell can be configured with one to two RACH channels.
(b) FACH
(i) FACH signaling
TBSize=168, TBNum=2, TTI=10ms
Header CRC/TF+CFN+TFI+TransmitPowerLevel+TB+spare+CRC+AAL2
header
The flow after FP/AAL2 encapsulation is:
(1+1+1+1+1682 / 8+2+32)8 / 0.01 = 43.2kbps.
(ii) FACH data
TBSize=360, TBNum=1, TTI=10ms
Header CRC/TF+CFN+TFI+Transmit power level+TB+spare+CRC+AAL2
header
The flow after FP/AAL2 encapsulation is:
(1+1+1+1+360 / 8+2+32)8 / 0.01 = 45.6kbps.
Each cell can be configured with one to four FACH channels. In case there is
only one FACH channel, the signaling and data are multiplexed, in the
configuration mode for signaling FACH.
(c) PCH
TBSize=240, TBNum=1, TTI=10ms
Header CRC/TF+CFN/PI+TFI+PI-bitmap+TB+spare+CRC+AAL2 header
The length of PI-bitmap is related to the configuration of common channel.
Corresponding to the configurations of 18, 36, 72 and 144 segments of the PI,
it is 3, 5, 9 and 18 bytes in length.
The current common channel uses configuration of the PI with 18 segments.
The traffic after FP/AAL2 encapsulation is:
(1+2+1+3+30+2+3)8 / 0.01 = 33.6kbps.
Each cell supports one PCH channel.
The following table lists the rates of various FP common channels:

RACH 48 Each cell can be configured with one to two RACHs channels. In Huaweis product, each cell is configured with one RACH channels.
FACH Signaling rate: 43.2 Data rate: 45.6
Each cell can be configured with one to four FACHs channels. In case of there is only one FACH, the signaling and data will be multiplexed, in the configuration mode of signaling FACH. In Huaweis product, each cell is configured with two FACHs, one of which for signaling transmission and the other for data transmission.
PCH 33.6 Each cell supports one PCH.
4. AAL2 sub-multiplexing
The AAL2 multiplexing can improve the ATM transmission efficiency, but the
additional overhead caused by sub-multiplexing must be considered. When configuring
the flow of Iub interface, it is recommended to add 10% of AAL2 multiplexing overhead to
it.
In the case of AAL2 multiplexing, each ATM cell has 1 byte of overhead (STF
domain). In addition, the header of each ATM cell has 5 bytes of overhead.
Note:
At present, the TIMER_CU of the AAL2 micro code is set to 500us, that is, a single cell may be in the
500us additional delay brought by sub-multiplexing, namely the maximum PAD filling rate of AAL2. The
data of a single application are transmitted equably (for example, AMR TTI=20ms), but the transmission
between multiple upper-layer applications are not dispersed equally. That is to say, the flow peak value
may occur in a period of time due to the concurrent transmission of multiple applications; and may be idle
for a period of time. This is the case of uneven peak/off-peak. As the buffer of the AAL2 micro cell is
restricted, if the buffer is full when the transmission failure due to burst flow, the QoS will be surely
lowered, thus affecting the performance of the equipment. Therefore, the ATM flow must be able to adapt
to this application requirement.
Take the 12.2kbps AMR voice for example, the length of each micro cell is 46 bytes. If the
TIMER_CU of only one micro cell expires, the PAD of one byte is added. If the single TIMER_CUs of two
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only
2004-07-19 All rights reserved. Page 34 of 50
micro cells expire, the PAD of two bytes is added behind the second one. If the TIMER_CUs of three
micro cells expire, the former two cells are transmitted, and the third one will be transmitted in the next
time of expiration. Similarly, one AAL2 PACH can bear 248 CIDs, which is updated once per 20ms. The
maximum PAD added is 248 bytes (it is an extreme), and the minimum PAD added is 13 bytes (it is
transmitted at each TIMER_CU). The corresponding maximum sub-multiplexing overhead is 99.2kpbs,
with 2% of multiplexing overhead increased. Take the 10.2kbps AMR voice for example, the extreme
multiplexing overhead is 7.8%.
By means of analysis on other service types, you can get the application with the lower rate, whose
extreme multiplexing overhead is the larger.

Active Set Update 54 (Soft handover signaling)
Active Set Update Complete 78 (Soft handover signaling)
The algorithm of switch setting can be used for the measurement on Uu interface.
The measurement modules involved include AMRC, DCCC, HO and LCS. Different report
modes are used for different measurement items. Event report, periodical report and the
period of periodical report are configurable at the background. There are six periodical
measurement reports and 6 event reports at the maximum. As LCS is used for location
only, it is not considered.
Each UE uses one type of service only, and use only two HO periodical measurement
items (mutually exclusive) and one AMRC or DCCC measurement item, use only four HO
event measurement items and one AMRC or DCCC event measurement item. Suppose
the period of periodical report is 1s, the event report is transmitted once per 30s, the soft
handover overhead is 30%, and there are 3 branches (it is necessary to transmit the
activity set update message for twice), the call duration is 60s, and the connecting time is
10s, you can get that the time from conversation to data transmission is 50s.
The calculation formula is: (Total byte number8bit / 60s)/ 3400bit/s).
Downlink: ((96+208+8+60+46+46+508+5430%2)8/60)/3400 =3.5%;
Uplink: ((80+83+6+45+40+60+80+68503+6852+7830%2)8/60)/ 3400 =
44%.
Because most RRC flows use the RCL confirmation mode, the activity rate of 3.4kbps
channel associated signaling is 50%.

(iii) Nvoice and Ndata are the number of voice users and the number of data users of the whole NodeB.
(iv) Vdata is the rate after FP/AAL2 encapsulation, which is contained when the data service is used.
(v) The common channel needs to bear the UE common procedures and the low-rate PS service, so
it has a high multiplexing efficiency, with the channel activity factor being 1. Generally, for voice service,
data service and channel associated signaling, it is used discontinuously, so it is necessary to consider
the activity factor. The activity factor of voice VADV ranges from 0.5 to 1. As the usage character of the
data service is unknown, it is recommended to set its acticity factor VADD to 1 for guaranteeing its QoS,
and set the activity factor VADS of signaling to 0.5.
(vi) If the common procedures of UE (such as attach, detach and short message) are implemented
with dedicated channel, it is necessary to add the requirement on the flow of these procedures. The

(viii) For the user plane of Iub interface, CBR and RT-VBR are used for PVC in most cases. In the
configuration, if CBR is used, it is required that its PCR be greater than or equal to the flow calculated
above; if RT-VBR is used, it is required that its SCR be greater than or equal to the above value. In
addition, the PCR is 120% of the SCR.
5.3.2 Iub Control Plane Flow Dimensioning
1. Control Plane composition
The Iub control plane is composed of one NCP link, one to n CCP links and one
ALCAP link. The NCP link is for transmitting the message related to the common
procedures, such as audit, cell setup/deletion/re-configuration, common channel
setup/deletion/re-configuration, common measurement and radio link setup. The
CCP links bears the messages related to dedicated procedures, such as RL
addition/deletion/re-configuration, RL recovery failure and dedicated
measurement. The ALCAP link is for transmitting the AAL2 connection message
at the Iub interface. The NCP/CCP/ALCAP link is over SAAL directly. Four bytes
of protocol head overhead are added for the SAAL (SSCOP). In addition, for the
SSCOP, one to three bytes should be filled in so as to align the PDU 4 bytes.
2. Overhead of AAL5
The control plane adopts AAL5 encapsulation, and the relation between SDU and
PDU of AAL5 is as follows:
If (SDU mod 48) > 40, then PDU = (SDU SDU mod 48))+96.
Or, PDU = (SDU (SDU mod 48)) + 48.

considering this part of overhead. Huaweis product is set with a switch. That is, the
transmission for the engineering can be performed on both dedicated channels and
common channels. Therefore, the following provides the analysis for both cases
respectively.
(i) NCP
The radio link setup message and common measure message are major
messages. The procedures for cell management are initial procedures, which can
be omitted during flow calculation. In common measurement, two 200-ms
periodical measurements are started for each cell. Suppose the whole NodeB
support N users concurrently, and each user makes each call in 60s.
The following dedicated channels are used for the IMSI attach and other
procedures:

measurement with the period of 4.8s, for every RL; the DCCC also starts a
periodical measurement with the period of 640ms, and starts a periodical
measurement with the period of 700ms for each RL in the case of soft handover.
Suppose the soft handover ratio is 30%, and two measurements are started for
each voice and data user and one is started for the attach type service, the flow
is calculated as follows:
The following dedicated channels are used for the IMSI attach and other
procedures:
Downlink:

Where, N=Nvoice+Ndata. It is mainly required for measurement.

The following dedicated channels are used for the IMSI attach and other

Note:
(i) N=Nvoice+Ndata,, and M is the number of cells supported by NodeB.
(ii) To consider the SAAL overhead and link utilization, it is necessary to add 10% of flow headroom
based on the flow mentioned above.
(iii) As the product supports the two modes of using dedicated channels and common channels for
IMSI attach and other procedures, the larger value of flow in the dimensioning will be used for the
signaling dimensioning. That is to calculate the signaling flow of the Iub interface in the mode of using
dedicated channels for IMSI attach and other procedures.
(iv) The AAL5 overhead has been considered in the signaling rate mentioned above.
5.3.3 Iub Maintenance Bandwidth
The operation and maintenance bandwidth of NodeB is set according to the
configuration.
The typical value of the operation and maintenance bandwidth of NodeB is 640kbps.
5.3.4 Dimensioning of Total Transmission Flow of Iub Interface
Based on the analysis and calculation of the user plane flow and control plane flow of
the Iub interface, together with the Iub interface maintenance bandwidth, the total
transmission flow of the Iub interface can be worked out as follows, considering the
soft handover headroom:
The total transmission flow of the Iub interface = (Iub user plane flow + Iub control
plane flow) (1+ Soft handover headroom) + NodeB operation
and maintenance bandwidth.

Note:
(i) Sub-multiplexing headroom and burst redundancy are considered in the Iub user plane and
control plane.
(ii) Soft handover headroom should to be added to the user plane flow and control plane flow.
5.3.5 Iub E1 Configuration
The utilization of the E1 link can be calculated in two modes, both of which are
supported by Huawei.
(1) UNI mode, the E1 utilization rate is: 1920kbps /2048kbps=93.75%.
(2) IMA mode, in the case of frame length being 32, the E1 utilization rate is:
1859kbps /2048kbps=90.77%;
in the case of frame length being 64, the E1 utilization rate is:
1889kbps /2048kbps=92.24%;
in the case of frame length being 128, the E1 utilization rate is:
1904kbps /2048kbps=92.97%;
in the case of frame length being 256, the E1 utilization rate is:
1911.5kbps /2048kbps=93.33%.
Therefore, based on the Iub transmission flow considering the E1 utilization, the

6 Pending Problems
The above chapters present the WCDMA radio network dimensioning principles. But
our research on the radio network dimensioning is not so deep in many aspects so far,
and some pending problems are to be solved. At present, the purpose of capacity
dimensioning is to calculate the number of users that the cell uplink and downlink can
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only
2004-07-19 All rights reserved. Page 44 of 50
support under a certain cell load, and then compare the capacity dimensioning result with
the link budget. Is this dimensioning mode is the only one for judging whether the
coverage and capacity are balanced? Can the dimensioning and comparison be
performed according to the throughput allowed by the PS service (such dimensioning is
reasonable and in accord with the ErlangC)? For example, based on the number of users
covered by the cell worked out by means of link budget, together with the traffic of a single
user in busy hours of CS service and that of PS service, we can calculate the throughput
of the PS services under a certain cell load with the premise of allowing concurrent CS
user connection. Similarly, by means of capacity dimensioning, we can work out the
throughput of the PS services allowed to access when the coverage requirement is met,
and then compare the PS service throughput calculated in these two cases, so as to judge
whether the coverage and capacity can be balanced.
7 Appendix
7.1 About Soft Blocking Probability
(1) Features of WCDMA data service
For WCDMA data service, the data rate is high, and the number of users
communicating simultaneously that can be borne is small. That is, the number of channels
is small. However, the channels of WCDMA are different from those of GSM, which are
hard channels. If the number of users is greater than the number of channels, the
excessive users will surely encounter blocking. The blocking probability can be calculated
with the Erlang formula. While the channels of WCDMA is soft channels, and the number
of channels varies with the interference. If the blocking probability of hard channels is still
used, with a threshold being set, and the Erlang value of the data service being calculated
with the Erlang formula, it will make big error. For example:
Create a WCDMA single service data model, with the activity factor being 0.1 and the
maximum channel capacity being 3.9, and then calculate the Erlang traffic when the
blocking probability is 0.02. If the hard threshold is adopted, the maximum channel
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only
2004-07-19 All rights reserved. Page 45 of 50
number is 3, the traffic will be 10%Erlang_B(3, 0.02), that is 6; if the maximum channel number is 4, the traffic will be 10%Erlang_B(4, 0.02), that is 11. That is, when the channel capacity is changed to 4 from 3.9, the traffic changes a lot, which is not practical at all.
This is because the channel capacity is small for high-rate data service. When the channel
capacity is changed to 4 from 3, it is a large change. But the channel capacity is large for
voice service. For example, when the capacity is changed to 51 from 50, it is a small
change. So the hard channel blocking probability is not suitable for the calculation of the
WCDMA data flow.
(2) New traffic calculation method
We still use the above example.
When the number of users communicating simultaneously is 3, and the channel
capacity is 3.9, so 0.9 more users can access the system. If the method for hard channel
is used, no more new users can access. However, with the features of CDMA, we can
adopt the probability statistics method for analysis. If the system load is light, it can accept
more new users; if it is heavy, it will accept less new users. Therefore, when the channel
has headroom of 0.9, the new user accepting rate will be taken as 0.9, and the rejection
rate will be 0.1. By far, we can create a new queuing model to get the blocking probability.
In this case, the blocking probability cannot be represented by the Erlang formula, but
should be calculated by means of mathematical derivation. The following shows the
derivation process:
Suppose the system is a Lost Call Cleared (LCC) system, which does not provide
queuing function for the call requests. When a user requests for service, the user can
access the system within the preset minimum call setup time if a channel is available. If all
the channels are occupied, the call will be blocked, and the user cannot access the
system. The blocked user returns to an infinite user group at once, and can attempt to
access the system any time thereafter.
Suppose Pi
specifies the probability of i users in the system, R specifies the arrival rate of the users, refers to the user drop-out rate. Then suppose the system u
-

2004-07-19 All rights reserved. Page 46 of 50
c ccapacity is , which is not an integer. Round up to get the maximum channel number
N = [c]. According to the detailed derivation process mentioned in Appendix A.1.1 of Reference [12], we can get:
PN = (Rz)N/N!P0 (7-1) When the number of users in the system is N, which is the maximum number of
users supported by the system, the blocking probability can be calculated with the Erlang
formula,
PB t [blocked] = (R/u)N/N!
6k=0
N((
PrPrR/u)k/k!) c. As the maximum capacity of the system is
not reached when the number of users in the system is N a = c N, set (where is a decimal fraction, and ), more users can access the system. In terms of ratio,
the probability of new user permission is . Therefore, when the number of users reaches
a
0 < a < 1 aa
N, new users with the probability of can access the system, and new users with the
probability will be rejected. This is shown as the following state transition formula:
a
1 aPN+1 = PNa( R(N+1)u )
a
(7-2)
The above formula indicates the new user permission probability is when the
number of users in the system is N + 1N, so that the number of users in the system is .
Based on the probability sum of 1, we can get that P1PN+1 6k=0N+1Pk = 1P0, . . Then
substitute the formulae (7-1) and (7-2) into it as follows:
PN = (Rz
P0 = 1(6k=0
N(Ru
)N/N!
(6k=0
N(Ru )k/k!)+a(R)k/k!)+a(Rz)N+1/(N+1)!
, z)N+1/(N+1)!
and
PN+1 = a(Rz)N+1/(N+1)!
(6k=0
N(Ru )k/k!)+a(Rz)N+1/(N+1)!
.
-

NWhen the system has users inside, the new user rejection probability is .
When the system has
1 aN + 1 users inside, which is the maximum capacity of the system,
no more users can access the system, so the system blocking probability can be worked
out as follows:
PB = PN+1 + (1 a)PN = a.(Ru )N+1/(N+1)!+(1a)(Ru )N/N!
(6k=0
N(R/u)k/k!)+a(Ru )N+1/(N+1)!
.
The activity factor is not considered in the formula above. Suppose the activity factor
is v, the blocking probability of the system is.
PB = a.(Rvu )N+1/(N+1)!+(1a)(Rvu )N/N!
(6m=0
N(Rv/u)m/m!)+a(Rvu )N+1/(N+1)!
(7-3)
If the traffic Rz v PB and the activity are specified, can be worked out based on the
formula above.
If RvuPB is specified, and the outgoing traffic is , you cannot get the result with the
above formula, but with the following conversion formula:
PB1a)PB+a+(1a)( uRv )(N+1)
= (Rvz )N+1/(N+1)!6k=0
N+1(Rvu )k/k!
c
(7-4)
The right of the formula (7-4) is the Erlang formula for calculation convenience. The
following is an example of calculating the traffic with the formula (7-4).
(3) Application example
Suppose the capacity of a system is = 3.1. Round it up to get N = 3a = c N = 0.1 v
, and then
. The Activity factor = 0.1, and specify that PB0.02
Rv/uRv/u = Erlang_B(0.02, 3)
, and then
calculate the traffic, as shown below:
First calculate the approximate range :
= 0.6022
-
WCDMA Radio Network Dimensioning Principle For internal use only
2004-07-19 All rights reserved. Page 48 of 50
0.020.90.02+0.1+0.941/0.6022The left of the formula (7-4) is = 0.0033
R/u = 1/vErlang_B(0.0033, 4)
.
Then the actual traffic is:
= 6.192
0.020.10.02+0.9+0.141/0.6022
.
This is close to the actual situation, because when the capacity is 3, the traffic will be
6.022; when the capacity is 3.1, the traffic will be 6.192. The increase is small, which is in
accord with the actual situation.
Then suppose the channel capacity is 3.9, the left of the formula (7-4) is
= 0.013R/u = 1/vErlang_B(0.013, 4)
, then the actual traffic is
= 9.5
0.020.5
.
When the channel capacity is 4, the traffic is 11. So the traffic when the channel
capacity is 3.9 is very close to the traffic when the channel capacity is 4. It is in accord with
the actual situation.
Suppose the channel capacity is 3.5, the left of the formula is
0.02+0.5+0.541/0.6022 = 0.005R/u = 1/vErlang_B(0.005, 4)
, then the actual traffic is
= 7. The traffic is between 6 and 11, which is in accord with the actual situation.
Based on these, we can get the following conclusion:
Using the new traffic calculation method solves the problem of traffic mutation caused
by round-up. With the original method, for example, when the channel capacity is 3.99,
the traffic can be calculated with the number of channels of 3. When the channel capacity
is 4, the traffic is calculated with the number of channels of 4. The channel capacity is
changed to 4 from 3.99, the traffic mutation occurs. With the new traffic calculation
method, the traffic varies continuously with the channel capacity, without mutation.
The new traffic calculation method adopts the probability statistics method. The
lighter the load, the higher the user access probability, and vice versa. For example, if the
channel capacity is 3.9, and three channels are in use, a big headroom is available, so the
access probability of the system is big, which is 0.9; if the channel capacity is 3.1, and
-

three channels are in use, the headroom is small, so the access probability of the system
is small, which is 0.1. This is in accord with the actual situation.
To calculate the blocking probability based on traffic, you can use the formula (7-3).
To calculate the traffic based on blocking probability, you can use the formula (7-4). In the
formula (7-4), you can estimate the traffic first to get the value on the left of the formula,
and then calculate the actual traffic according to the Erlang formula.
