Voice-Data Capacity in a multimedia mobile System with Multi-rate Data Traffic.

멀티미디어 이동통신 시스템에서 통신 속도별 음성-데이터 상호 용량계산

In this paper, a scheme to evaluate the number of users in a WCDMA supporting multi-rate traffic is presented through the calculations of Erlang capacity from a derived blocking probability. It is observed that voice-data Erlang capacities have an inverse linear relationship. When the $E_b/N_o$ decreases from 4 dB to 3 dB within the outage probability of 2 % and at the voice rate of 8 kbps, the results show an increase of 8 Erlang at the data rates of 15 kbps, 4 Erlang at 30 kbps, 2 Erlang at 60 kbps, and 1 Erlang at 120 kbps respectively and an increase of the Erlang capacities through a gradual decrease of the data rates from 960 kbps to 15 kbps. So this is useful for optimizing as a reference of design for the capacity in a WCDMA system.
