Service Properties
Indication of the type of service
Circuit or packet switched service Different parameters according to the type of service
Forsk 2012
Slide 13
Service Properties
For Packet-Switched Services
Minimum required throughput with a percentage of coverage that should at least be provided with this throughput Minimum and maximum numbers of timeslots allowed to be multiplexed per user for that particular service
Parameters related to the Application Throughput compared to the gross throughput (from Coding schemes).

Purposes
To analyse the traffic from maps at the transmitter level To use traffic analysis as basis of the dimensioning
Traffic analysis is a mandatory step before dimensioning
Means
Atoll distributes traffic from maps to each transmitter of each HCS layer according compatibility criteria defined for :
Transmitters : Frequency bands, GPRS/EDGE configuration of GPRS/EDGE station (and Max CS/MCS) HCS layers : Maximum speed allowed Services : Type of service Terminals : Technology and frequency bands supported, GPRS/EDGE equipment (and Max CS/MCS) Mobility types : Speed
E.g.. A user with a GSM900 band mobile phone will not be allocated to a transmitter that only functions on the DCS1800 band
Forsk 2012
Slide 19
Traffic Selection of maps to be used Optional multiplicative factor used to increase the traffic request of the map
Forsk 2012
Slide 20
Possibility to base the packet traffic demand in timeslots taking into account : - the current level of interferences I - the receiver thermal noise N. (Use of GPRS/EDGE equipment graphs)
Forsk 2012
Run calculations
Slide 21
Average throughput carried by a packet timeslot on each Tx service area Circuit traffic demand (Erlangs and circuit timeslots) on each Tx service area
Packet traffic demand (kbps and packet timeslots) on each Tx service area

General tab
Dimensioning options for packet services Minimum number of dedicated packet timeslots that can be used by the Tx Maximum number of TRXs that can be added in order for the subcell to fulfil the packet traffic demand Key Performance Indicators to be fulfilled
Forsk 2012
Slide 28
Quality charts used for the dimensioning process of packet traffic Throughput reduction factor = f(load) Delay = f(load) Blocking probability = f(load)
Ratio of the number of packet timeslots available to the number of timeslots per packet connection

Overview
KPIs
For circuit traffic : effective blocking rate stated in Erlang B or Erlang C For packet traffic : effective throughput reduction factor, delay and blocking rate
Requirements

Running KPIs
KPI Calculation
Command KPI calculation from the context menu of a traffic analysis Same dialog as the one used for dimensioning
1. Select the dimensioning model to be used. Atoll will use the quality charts of the dimensioning model in order to calculate KPIs in case of packet traffic.
