CE Dimensioning for TEF

01 Apr, 2011
 秘密▲

CE Definition

 One Channel Element is the base band resources

required in the Node-B to provide capacity for one
voice channel including control plane signaling,
compressed mode, transmit diversity.
 秘密▲

ZTE Channel Elements Features

 Channel elements are pooled in one NodeB.
 CE for CCH are reserved.
 ZTE’s BPC board can support 192CE for uplink and downlink respectively.
 This year BPK may be used instead of BPC. BPK has 384 instead of 192 by
BPC. This is only for R99. For HSDPA special equipment is reserved.
 ZTE’s baseband processing board has special chip to handle the traffic of
HS-PDSCH and HS-SCCH. So HSDPA downlink traffic will not consume CE.
 HSUPA shares CE resource with R99 services

CE Dimensioning Procedure

 Subscribers per NodeB and traffic model will be the input of CE dimensioning.
 For CS service, CE number is calculated by using ErlangB model.
 Soft handover are considered.

Calculation Process-1
 Total traffic of AMR 12.2K per site = 870 * 0.03*50% = 13Erl
According to Erlang-B model, simultaneous link number is 20.
CEUL _ AMR12.2 = LinkNumber × CEfactorAMR12.2 = 20 ×1 = 20CE
CE DL _ AMR12.2 = LinkNumber × CEfactorAMR12.2 = 20 ×1 = 20CE
 Total traffic of CS64Kusers per site = 870 * 0.03*50% = 1.3Erl
According to Erlang-B model, simultaneous link number is 5.
CEUL _ CS 64 K = LinkNumber × CEfactorUL _ CS 64 K = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5CE
CE DL _ CS 64 K = LinkNumber × CEfactorDL _ CS 64 K = 2.5 ×1.8 = 4.5CE
 Total uplink throughput of PS64K users per site = 870 * 32 *2% = 557kbps
 Downlink throughput of PS64K users per site = 870*32*2% = 557kbps
CEUL _ PS 64 K = LinkNumber × CEfactorUL _ PS 64 K = [557 / 64] × 2.5 = 21CE
CE DL _ PS 64 K = LinkNumber × CEfactorDL _ PS 64 K = [557 / 64] ×1.8 = 16CE

Calculation Process-2
CE Consumed by HSUPA
If we assume that HSUPA throughput is 400kbps per user online. Then ZTE’s base
processing unit will consume 5.7*870*1% = 50CE.
If it is 3.4K signalling for HSUPA downlink and uplink associated signalling channel.
CE_DL signalling = 870*1%*0.3 = 3CE
CE_UL signalling = 870*1%*0.3 = 3CE
So total CE consumed by HSUPA will be 53CE@UL and 3CE@DL.
CE Consumed by HSDPA
For HSDPA service, ZTE base band processing board has special chip to handle the traffic
of HS-PDSCH and HS-SCCH. So traffic consumes no CE in downlink.
If it is 3.4K signalling for HSDPA downlink associated signalling channel.
CE_DL signalling = 870*2%*0.3 = 6CE
CE_DL signalling = 870*2%*0.3 = 6CE
So total CE consumed by HSDPA will be 6CE@DL and 6CE@UL
Total Required CE
If consider 30% SHO Ratio
Total Uplink CE = (20+12.5+21+53+6)*1.3=150 CE
Total Uplink CE = (20+4.5+16+3+6)*1.3=52 CE
Limited by uplink, Total CE required is 150 CE.
ZTE’s BPC board can hardware support 192CE. So the base band processing resource
can meet the requirement.
