Capacity Dimensioning Summary

CS and PS services could have different Gos requirements Capacity resources for CS and PS services could be shared Multidimensional ErlangB is used for CS services Cell radius has an impact on downlink cell capacity HSDPA capacity dimensioning is dependent on simulation results HSDPA capacity dimensioning is to obtain the available cell average throughput
