Based on traffic model Single User Throughput can be calculated.
Calculation of Single User Throughput
It is the sum of throughput
of different service types.
 Single User Throughput (Kbps) = (  k
(Data Volume per Sessionk *
BHSAk * Penetration Ratiok)) * (1+ Peak to Average Ratio) / 3600
Considering the burst traffic of PS service,

Peak to Average Ratio is used.

50kb 150kb @BH per online user.
 For data card market, such as Kuwait, Saudi and Costarica, higher 4G PS throughput per user,
~250kbps@BH.
 LTE user releases higher DL traffic demand, the ratio of DL/UL throughput is about 8:1.
Calculation of Total Network Throughput
 Total Network Throughput = Total User Number * Single

User Throughput
The Total User Number is one of
the capacity requirement.

Balance Dimensioning between Coverage
and Capacity
 Maybe the results of coverage dimensioning and the result of
capacity dimensioning are different. Then the number of eNodeB
needs to be balanced between coverage and capacity. The final
