y Planning The capacity of an eNodeB indicates the maximum number of users that can be served by the eNodeB with a desired quality of service or the maximum cell throughput that can be achieved for a particular site at a given time. Increasing the capacity would mean increasing the number of users that can be accommodated by a cell or eNodeB, which in turn means that the number of eNodeBs or cells required to accommodate a volume of users inside a given area would be lessened, thereby reducing the cost of deployment for an operator. Capacity planning, like coverage planning, also aims at providing an estimate on the number of resources or eNodeBs required for a given service area. However, in capacity planning, the quality of service that is provided to the users within the service area is the key factor. Typically, the resource calculation from capacity planning for a given service area is higher in comparison with the resource calculations made by coverage planning. Capacity planning is initially done by using a simulation tool (e.g., Opnet, Radiodim tool, etc.), which takes in various parameters and plots an SINR graph for a UE at different distances from the transmitter. The simulations are performed to at least derive these results: Average throughput for a close-range user Average throughput for a midrange user Average throughput for a far-range user Number of UEs that can be placed inside the cell with a throughput for each UE above the acceptable levels. With these results and an estimate on the total number of users within the service area, the total number of cells that would be required can be calculated. Later, during the drive test phase, some of these tests are repeated and the SINR plotting is performed at the actual site and matched with the simulated results for accuracy. Improve Capacity for a Particular Service Area Some of the common practices to improve the capacity for a given service area are: Adding more cells. Adding more cells to the service area would mean that the number of UEs that ne
