Slide 18

Traffic Analysis (1)

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
