Dim Tool structure (v2.3.1)


The Dimensioning Tool (methods and parameters) follows RL10 and RL15TD Releases.
The tool consist of nine excel workbooks:
Instructions: General tool info
Link Budget (LiBu):
Calculates the cell area based on the Path Loss for the different clutter types
Cell Capacity:
Calculates the average cell throughput for downlink and uplink based also in LiBu
parameters and outputs ( i.e. ISD)
Traffic Model: Traffic data is modelled in this worksheet and used in the site count
sheet
Site Count:
Site count with respect to coverage, capacity and traffic dimensioning
Uses as inputs the outputs of the link budget, the cell capacity and the traffic model
worksheets
Defaults: Worksheet containing all the default values defined for the Link Budget
Parameters: System specific parameters (not to be modified by user) plus other
parameters used in the Link Budget calculations
VoIP: Not part of RL10!. VoIP related parameters (not to be modified by user)
Doc History: Information about released versions

Capacity Calculations

Cell throughputs are calculated automatically in the Cell Capacity Sheet within the
Tool
DL and UL Capacity are calculated based on System Level simulations (spectral
efficiency) and LiBu inputs: operating bandwidth, antenna diversity and cell load
Algorithm calculates the Average Cell throughput (capacity) for a single cell
Capacity Calculation Methodology:
Four representative site grids (defined by the inter site distance) have been
simulated in dynamic system level environment (MoRSE)
UL & DL spectral efficiency figures have been gathered for all available channel
bandwidth configurations (1.4 20 MHz)
When the channel bandwidth and the ISD are known from the link budget
scenario, the spectral efficiency is interpolated/extrapolated based on a look-up
table obtained from the simulator

Traffic Model From site Count Sheet

Scope: To calculate the total amount of


offered traffic data in the BH (Total
Offered Traffic)

Tool offers three ways to introduce traffic data depending on the customer inputs:

1. Import traffic from the Traffic Model Sheet


Customer Traffic Figures are Entered in the Traffic Model (TM) Sheet
Customer provides their own traffic model. See next slides

2. Directly enter traffic with the User Defined Option


User calculates traffic figures outside the tool and enters the total average traffic
figures per user in the Site Count Sheet
Can be used if the customer provides total data figures

3. Use NSN Traffic Model (TM)


If customer doesnt provide any traffic data.
It uses NSN Default values. The document describing the default NSN traffic model
can be found in: https://sharenet-ims.inside.nokiasiemensnetworks.com/Overview/413311463

Traffic model module

Flat rate is common in RFx documents.


Subscription rate denotes for what the
subscriber pays and the overbooking
factor represents the users actively
exploiting the purchased data rate. OF
means a throughput reduction
Link field allows to enable/disable a
format for a given transmissions
direction (DL, UL, both)
Downlink/Uplink Data Volume is
automatically recalculated after any
change on Traffic Model sheet
Services listed as VoIP, Streaming,
Www, etc. are examples of traffic model
formats: a set of input parameters for
data volume computation
Since the customers provide this
information in very different manner, one
should choose the most appropriate
512kbps/128kbps flat rate subscription with
format to calculate data volume overbooking of 25 (1/25th of subscribers are using the
purchased subscription flat rate) corresponds to the
Data dominant NSN LTE Traffic Model.

Please note how the Average data volume is calculated

The clue is that the bit rate is calculated in Mega Byte

Dimensioning Exercise

Groups of 3-5 persons

Calculate the number of eNodeB necessary to fulfill the coverage, capacity and
HW requirements presented in the next slides

Prepare to explain shortly the dimensioning methods used, results and the main
difficulties you experienced

Please notice that not all parameters are defined by the operators in these cases.
You should assume reasonable values for these parameters

Exercise based on real RFQ cases although modified to adapt to the training
