Traffic Model
Calculation
Here:
A1 = (IP + H1) * N
A2 = IP * N
M =A1 / B
T = (M MR2MR1) 20ms
V_IP = A2 / T
VGb = V_IP * (IP + H2) / IP
A1 is the total bytes of the N*LLC PDUs.

A2 is the total bytes of the N*IP packets.
M is the minimum number of RLC data blocks needed for the transfer of N*LLC PDUs.
B is the LLC PDU bytes that a RLC data block can bear.
T is the time needed for the transfer of N*LLC PDUs.
V_IP is the bearer rate of each PDCH estimated across the IP layer.
VGb is the bearer rate of each PDCH estimated across the Gb interface physical layer.
X indicates that X must be rounded up to the nearest integer.

X indicates that X must be rounded down to the nearest integer.

Based on the previous assumptions, facts, and calculation models,
the transmission rate estimated using CS2 can be calculated as
follows:
A1 = (IP + H1) * N = (320+17)*10 3370 Bytes
A2 = IP * N = 320*10 = 3200 Bytes
M = A1/B= 3370 / 30 113 blocks
T = (M +M*R2+M*R1)*20ms
= 113+113*20%+113*10%)*20ms
= 2920ms = 2.92s
V_IP = A2/T = (320 * 10 * 8) / 2.92 / 1024 8.56 Kbps
VGb = V_IP * (IP + H2) / IP

= 8.56*(320+53)/320=9.98Kbps

Traffic Model
GPRS/EDGE and GSM shares the CCCH signaling channel. If the

network uses PCCCH access, the channel planning, parameter
planning, and dual-band network load strategies need to be adjusted
greatly during network planning.
The accurate estimation for GPRS/EDGE traffic model is unpractical.

The GPRS/EDGE traffic model cannot be described simply according
to the Erlang of each subscriber, which is the basis of traffic model for
voice service.
GPRS/EDGE traffic model deserves long-term attention. As the

GPRS/EDGE service develops, the analysis and modification for
GPRS/EDGE traffic model must be made accordingly, which makes the
adjustment of the methods and strategies for GPRS/EDGE network
planning possible. In addition, the introduction of new services may risk
an abrupt change of the GPRS/EDGE traffic model.

Example
Suppose PCU connect to one BSC which contains 1024 carriers.
Static PDCH are 5% of all the channels and dynamic PDCH are 5%
of all the channels, dynamic PDCH activation ratio is 50%, V_IP is
8kbps and VGb is 1.166*V_IP.
Total static PDCH: (1024*8)*5% = 410, total dynamic PDCH: 410
Active PDCH: 410+410*50%=615
In Pb interface
Minimum number of RPPU = 615/120 6 pcs
Number of RPPU actually configured = 6+2 = 8 pcs (N+2 backup, N>4)
One E1 can support 60 packet channels (CS4)
Number of Pb interface E1s = 615/60+2*2 15 pcs
In Gb interface
Gb interface rate at physical layer (VGb) = 1.166*V_IP = 9.328 Kbps
Minimum number of RPPU = 615*9.328Kbps/(8Mbps*70%) 2 pcs
Number of RPPU actually configured = 2+1 = 3 pcs (N+1 backup)
One E1 can support about 1.4Mbps data rate (2Mbps70%1. 4Mbps)
Number of Gb interface E1s = 615*9.328Kbps/1.4Mbps + 4 5+4 = 9 pcs

Coverage Planning
Compared with GSM coverage, the GPRS/EDGE
coverage has the following features:
EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) is the same.
The loss from transmission end to reception end is the same except body
loss.
GPRS/EDGE service is restricted by C/I (carrier-to-interference ratio)

instead of receiver sensitivity.
When CS1 is used, the C/I is required to be higher than 9 dB (for voice
service, the C/I is 9 dB). If PDCHs are configured on BCCH carrier, the C/I
can meet the requirement.

GPRS in Dual Band Network

GPRS/EDGE service has the following effects against
the dual-band network:
If the traffic guide strategy of the dual-band network enables the
1800 MHz network to take the priority to absorb the traffic, the
GPRS/EDGE service will concentrates at the 1800 MHz network,
which will cause network congestion. However, the dual-band
network cannot guide the traffic load to the 900MHz network
similarly by means of the handover used for GSM voice service.
The indoor coverage of 1800MHz network is relatively poor,
which affects the QoS of packet service, but the dual-band

network cannot take the initiative to enable the 900MHz network
to help the 1800MHz network with its indoor coverage.
HUAWEI Confidential
Page 40
GPRS in Dual Band Network

The following methods can solve GPRS/EDGE
congestion problems:
Configure more dynamic allocation PDCH for the 1800MHz network.
When GPRS/EDGE congestion occurs at the 1800MHz network, trigger

the voice service seizing the dynamic allocation PDCH to hand over to
the 900MHz network.
Apply the dynamic allocation PDCH released by the previous handover

to the GPRS/EDGE service.
If the GPRS/EDGE MS attaches to the 1800MHz network and the service

problems are caused by poor coverage, you need to solve the problem
by improving the coverage planning for the 1800MHz network or
changing the priority of the 1800MHz network.

GPRS Network Performance Indication

GPRS/EDGE Indexes Deserved Special Attention
The following two indexes are quite important for capacity
planning. The system performance will deteriorate sharply if they
are not properly planned.
Mean length of LLC PDUs (by uplink and downlink)
Uplink and downlink TBF overhead on CCCH
The following two indexes can work as reference for network

expansion.
