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
the 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
bandwidth 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
speeds which would be suitable as a maximum speed in PicoCell scenario with shared backhaul. However
depending only in R99 will take much more resources as if HSPA technologies would be available, which means
this alternative 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
does 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

30 25558 15 16-QAM 30 38576 15 64-QAM
64QAM not configured 64QAM configured
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
DL and UL.
Average per hour for all cells in RNC5 are:
PS Background DL(8kbps bitrate category): 8.67kbps (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.DL8)
PS Background UL(8kbps bitrate category): 5.23kbps (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.UL8)
PS Background UL(16kbps bitrate category): 8.99kbps (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.UL16)
PS Background UL(32kbps bitrate category): 17.03kbps (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.UL32)
PS Interactive DL(8kbps bitrate category): 7.84kbps (Counter: VS.PS.Int.Kbps.DL8)
PS Interactive UL(8kbps bitrate category): 5.21kbps (Counter: VS.PS.Int.Kbps.UL8)
Average Data usage per hour for all cells in RNC5 are:
PS Background DL(8kbps bitrate category): 143kbit (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.DL.8.Traffic)
PS Background UL(8kbps bitrate category): 4kbit (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.UL.8.traffic)
PS Background UL(16kbps bitrate category): 26kbit (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.UL.16.Traffic)
PS Background UL(32kbps bitrate category): 542kbit (Counter: VS.PS.BKG.Kbps.UL.32.Traffic)
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)
Average for HSUPA services are:
HSUPA Mean Throughput: 29kbps (Counter: VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput)
HSUPA Traffic: 2.4MB (Counter: VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes)

Note: All other bitrate categories not shown report virtually no 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
