GSM:
Capacity is hard blocked, limited by the amount of hardware.
TRX number
WCDMA:
Capacity is Soft Capacity, it is a interference limited system, we cant get
the capacity by the hardware quantity.

1 DL power analysis
3G:The DL Cell power is dynamic. If User is far away the cell or the
signal quality is bad, the cell need to use higher power to maintain it
service .So the max and min user will be change. The DL power
utilization will affect the cell user number and traffic
2G:The DL power is fixed. It will not affect the cell user number and
traffic
If one subscriber want to access one cell ,it will increase the DL power
utilization.
So the DL
Question :
If the DL power is the main resource, can we use high power RRU to
improve it ?how 60W or 80W RRU?
Answer:
No, we cant do like this. Because the WCDMA is self interference system.
If one cell improve its TX power, it will increase the Io, so the Ec/Io will
become very bad.
In WCDMA, We need to control the coverage to improve the Ec/Io quality

5.8Mbps
If the DL power isnt in congestion, and the DL Ec/Io is higher than -9.2
dB, then one site throughput can reach 5.8Mbps.
As we know, The mobility of subscribers, fluctuation of the radio
signals, the variety of service and the complexity of the network
system has made Ec/Io and DL power in unstable situation, it is very
hard to let the site throughput reach 5.8Mbps.
one site cant support 12 users if DL Ec/Io is very bad or DL power is
not enough
