Bandwidth Calculation For Huawei PicoCell

This document discusses bandwidth calculation and throughput limitations for a PicoCell network. It recommends limiting the PicoCell's downlink throughput by deactivating 64QAM and 16QAM modulation and restricting the number of HSDPA codes to 1. This would provide a minimum downlink throughput of around 350kbps while avoiding overutilization of the shared internet backhaul. Typical throughput requirements for voice and data services on the network are also presented, along with calculations for total bandwidth needs based on simultaneous users and service types. Guidelines are provided for determining the appropriate capacity and number of supported users for a PicoCell based on the available internet bandwidth.

Why is it needed to limit PicoCell Throughput?


Pico Cell equipment is a shared backhaul which mostly depends on final customer Internet Bandwidth,
which in many cases may be very low in Lima.

Since PicoCell uses a shared internet connection, it is limited due to the fact that many other users of t
he same internet source can be connected and affect capacity of the Pico (i.e Laptops, PCs, etc).

If PicoCell provides all users maximum resources for data it can occupy most of the customers bandwi
dth and affect internet users by reducing speed and viceversa.

How to limit PicoCell DL Throughput?


Fastest alternative is to deactivate HSPA technologies within the PicoCell, this way users are limited to R99 spe
eds which would be suitable as a maximum speed in PicoCell scenario with shared backhaul. However dependi
ng only in R99 will take much more resources as if HSPA technologies would be available, which means this alte
rnative is not viable for PicoCell solution as we have limited resources.
Second alternative inquire in a set of steps to reach a minimum throughput provided still by HSPA so the cell doe
s not use to many resources:

1. Deactivate 64QAM Modulation for HSPA+

2. Limit HSDPA HSPDSCH/HSSCCH Codes to only 1 Code

3. Deactivate 16QAM Modulation for HSDPA

By following this steps the cell will only be able to provide only 1 HSDPA code and QPSK Modulation, which will
reduce drastically total Maximum DL Throughput for the PicoCell.

What is minimum throughput value to be obtained in a cell?


According to HSPA technologies, many peak speed can be reached depending on which condition is met by both UE and
the cell:
-A 64QAM enabled HSPA+ cell can provide up to 21Mbps to a single UE with CQI=30 and 15 HSDPA Codes
-A 16QAM enabled HSDPA cell can provide up to 14Mbps to a single UE with CQI=30 and 15 HSDPA Codes
-A QPSK only HSDPA cell can provide up to 1.8Mbps to a single UE with CQI=30 and 5 HSDPA Codes

In the CQI Mapping table for QPSK/16QAM/64QAM modulations it is possible to check the approximate throughput
provided by the conditions available by calculating the TBS/TTI where TTI is 2ms. This gives a theoretical minimum value
for 1 Code, CQI=1 and QPSK Modulation of around 68kbps, meanwhile for higher CQI value, QPSK modulation for only
1 Code can reach around 325kbps.

What is the required DL/UL Throughput for other services?


Statistics obtained from RNC5 show typical speeds for other services such as background and interactive for both D
L and UL.

PS Interactive DL(8kbps bitrate category): 7.84kbps (Counter: VS.PS.Int.Kbps.DL8)

PS Interactive DL(8kbps bitrate category): 2.9kbit (Counter: VS.PS.Int.Kbps.DL.8.Traffic)
PS Interactive UL(8kbps bitrate category): 9kbit (Counter: VS.PS.Int.Kbps.UL.8.Traffic)

PicoCell total bandwidth requirements

Voice services require an approximate of 177kbps per call.


PS Services require an approximate of 20kbps for DL and 30kbps for UL
After modulation and code limitation, HSDPA would required around 350kbps
HSUPA services with SF2-256 would require 15-960kbps (Statistics: 30kbps)
Total

Bandwidth required (DL) = PS(DL) + HSDPA + [Voice * simultaneous_users]


Total Bandwidth required (DL) = 370+ [177 * simultaneous_users] (kbps)
Total

Bandwidth required (UL) = PS(UL) + HSUPA + [Voice * simultaneous_users]


Total Bandwidth required (UL) = 60+ [177 * simultaneous_users] (kbps)

Supported simultaneous users for each speed:


1Mbps

DL / 0.4Mbps UL = around 2 users


2Mbps DL / 0.8Mbps UL = around 4 users
10Mbps DL / 2Mbps UL = around 11 users simultaneously
