26. Conclusions on IST-SEACORN (WP1) • Future 3.5 G systems have to be able to support nowadays applications and new ones, with different capacity and requirements • A set of scenarios was drawn by associating values of service usage with each of the eight deployment scenarios • Responding to the necessity of diminishing the burden on simulation work, a set of three simpler scenarios was produced • A traffic generation model was described in order to allow quantification and description of traffic offered to the E-UMTS network • This model is based on population and service penetration values in order to determine call generation rates for the constituent services within each of the selected scenarios

27. Conclusions (cont.) • For each service an activity model was presented, and the ON and OFF states were characterised by appropriate statistical distributions for source traffic • Application QoS and GoS requirements were addressed, including the impact of mobility • This completed the basic output to the SEACORN simulation work, whose objective was to determine the E-UMTS network behaviour and QoS response under these service assumptions • A glimpse on simulation results was presented

39. MULTiPLAN (Multi-service Cellular Plannning for Mobile Communication Systems Beyond 3G)

40. MULTIPLAN (http://www.e-projects.ubi.pt) • The project focus is multi-service cellular planning for mobile communication systems beyond 3G • It covers • Classification and characterisation of services and applications • Resource re-use, interference, and tele-traffic • System capacity and optimisation (system level simulation) • Costs and revenues

41. Outline • Motivation • Office scenario • Topology • Cell structure • Mobility model • Radio propagation model • The simulator • QoS measures • Capacity estimation • Cost/Revenue Model • Economic impact • Assumptions • Optimisation and profit • Conclusions

42. Motivation • WCDMA systems are interference limited, and there is an inter-dependence between capacity and coverage which causes the cell size to decrease when the traffic load carried by the cell increases • Traffic peaks generated by hot spots, such as highly crowded offices with high data rate services can run into coverage problems for macro and micro outdoor coverage, and they can jeopardise the entire network quality

43. The need for cost/revenue functions • In order to optimise E-UMTS networks and make simulation-based cellular planning tools available for network design, economic aspects, in the form of cost/revenue functions, are an essential issue • QoS and the expected net revenue are dependent • Therefore results for system capacity are important • Acceptable values are obtained in order to have an acceptable GoS (Grade of Service)

44. Impact of the throughput in revenues • A function for the throughput, having in consideration the QoS, as function of the radius of each cell is obtained • Using this function and the costs, a cost/revenue model is formulated • The main measures of the QoS considered are the call blocking probability, handover failure probability and delay.

45. Scenario • From the IST-SEACORN scenarios, only the office scenario and classes of service up to wideband are taken into consideration in this study.

46. Office scenario • Topology • Floor with 140 m x 60 m, and 1260 users (corresponding to a density factor of 0.15 user/m2).

47. y 60 140 x Office scenario (cont.) • Pico-Cellular structure • Small cells, low transmition powers (3dBW), indoor • E.g., users at home, office, commercial centres, theatres, airports. • Mobility model • Reference Point Group Mobility

48. Radio Propagation Model • Radio Propagation Model (COST 231) • Office Environment • Indoor Office • L = 37 + 30log10(R) + 18.3n((n+2)(n+1)-0.46) • L is path loss, R is the transmitter – receiver separation [m], and n is the number of floors in the path.

49. The simulator • The SEACORN simulator is a System Level Simulator (SLS) that captures the dynamic end-to-end behaviour of the all network, including • the dynamic user behaviour (e.g., mobility and variable traffic demands), • radio interface, • radio access network, • and core network • The SLS is separated into three parts • mobile environment, • control mechanisms, • performance evaluation.
