Scenario
Coverage type “Urban”: Population density 2000 / km2, total area 10,000 km2.
Usage type “MBB Substitute”, starting from 5 GB/Month in year 0, increasing prediction 1 GB/Month each year.
User penetration “Substitute_1”: starting from 1 % of total population in year 0, increasing prediction 1% each year.
Operator type “Greenfield”: has to deploy the network from scratch.
RAT options • UMTS Macro • HSDPA Macro • HSDPA Micro

Approach
1. Coverage (km2) & User demand
Example Year 0: • 20% coverage area means:
20 % x 10,000 km2 = 0 km2 total required coverage • 1 % user penetration means:
1 % x (2,000 x 10,000) = 200,000 total predicted user

2. Capacity demand (Mbps)
Example Year 1: Usage per User 6 GB/month/user, thus the user demand (UD1) is:
6 GB/month/user x 1,024 = 6144 MB/month/user As traffic is concentrated in 4 hours / day, thus the user demand in Mbps (UD2) is:
(UD1)/(30 days x 4 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds) x 8 = 0.113777778 Mbps/user
Then the capacity demand for the system would be: (UD2) x 400000 users = 45511.1 Mbps

Approach
3. Total equipment demand for each RAT option
Coverage achieved (CvTot) Coverage achieved by BTS deployment, would be:
Cv = Maximum cell range * Amount of BTS Thus, total Coverage achieved on that year (CvTot) would be:
CvTot = Cv + CvTot last years
Capacity achieved (CpTot) Capacity achieved by BTS deployment (Cp1) would be:
Cp1 = Maximum capacity * Amount BTS
Capacity achieved by add cell deployment (Cp2) would be: Cp2 = Maximum capacity * Cell
Where Add.Cell (Cell) is: Cell = Amount of (Cp) BTS * (6-1)
Thus, total Capacity achieved on that year (CpTot) would be: CpTot = Cp1 + Cp2 + CpTot last years
Approach
Data Line (DL) DL = (Cp1 + Cp2) / Data line capacity
Site installation (SI) and Site build out (SB) SI or SB = Amount of BTS purchased
Site Lease (SL) and Electricity (EL) SL or EL = Amount of BTS purchased + Amount of BTS purchased last year
Leased Line (LL) LL = CpTot / Leased line capacity
Approach

4. CAPEX, OPEX, and Total Cost
CAPEX = (RTE Cost) + (Installation & Build out Cost) OPEX = Running Cost + (10 % x CAPEX)
Total Cost = CAPEX + OPEX
Approach
5. NPV for each RAT option: Financial Viability
PV = CF / (1 + r)^n NPV = PV0 + PV1 + .. + PV5
Approach
UMTS Macro: - High Add. Cell needs - High RTE cost, - High Installation & Build out cost - Sharp increasing of OPEX HSDPA Micro: - Highest BTS deployment needs - High Installation & Build out cost - Sharp increasing of OPEX - Highest capacity achieved HSDPA Macro: - Less BTS deployment needs - Less CAPEX, - Slow increasing of OPEX - Best NPV
Go for HSDPA Macro !
