This is followed by performing system loading calculations iteratively until the actual system load matches the permissible one, thereby defining cell range. Capacity Related Inputs The main requirements for capacity dimensioning are: The number of subscribers User profile Spectrum available Radio Network Dimensioning A traffic forecast should be done by analysing the offered busy hour traffic per subscriber for different service bit rates in each roll-out phase. Traffic Data Voice Erlang per subscriber during the busy hour of the network Codec bit rate Voice activity RT (real-time) data Erlang per subscriber during the busy hour of the network Service bit rates NRT (non-real-time) data Average throughput (kbps) of the subscriber during the busy hour of the network Target bit rates Asymmetry between UL (uplink) and DL (downlink) traffic for NRT services (downloading 1/10) should be t
