The user throughput is defined as the ratio of the number of information bits that the user successfully received divided by the total simulation time. If user k has PDLCUL) downlink (uplink) packet transmissions during the simulation period (Tsim), and if there are qki DL(UL) packets in the ith transmission, and if bill denotes the number of correctly received bits in the jth packet; then the average user throughput for user k is: (12-2) The average user throughput is defined as the sum of the user throughput of each user in t
