Subscriber Modeling

• Subscriber Manager allows you to precisely define all important subscriber characteristics:

• Where subscribers are (traffic distribution)

• What environments they operate in (outdoor, in-vehicle, indoor, deep indoor)

• What services subscribers use (voice, e-mail, web browsing etc…)?

• What are their usage patterns (number of voice/data calls in BH)?

• What quality levels they require (guaranteed and maximum UL and DL data rates)?

• What kind of UE equipment they use?

• What network resources are allowed (radio bearers)?

• Performance curves for all bearer can be defined so calculated Eb/No can be presented as FER

Traffic Map Tool

• Create traffic map by

spreading traffic data into

• Region/vector (e.g. municipal

region, highway and roads)

• Classified grids (e.g. best

serving sectors, clutter grid)

• Network data (e.g. spreading

traffic statistics into best

serving sectors)

• Model real traffic distributions

by applying clutter weightings

on measured cell traffic

• Convert and scale traffic map
