Abstract

A scheme to evaluate the number of users and cell coverage of a WCDMA supporting multi-rate traffic is newly presented through calculation of the realizable Erlang capacity from a derived blocking probability and the path loss from the COST231 Walfisch-Ikegami(W) model. We evaluate the voice-data Erlang capacities at various data rates of 15 kbps to 960 kbps and it is shown that they have a linear relationship to each other. When the E$\_$b//N$\_$o/ is low from 4 ㏈ to 3 ㏈ in case of voice capacity of 50 Erlang at 8 kbps, the result shows the increase for the data capacity of 10 Erlang and the enlargement of 100 m for the cell coverage at low rate of 15 kbps, and the increase of 0.11 Erlang and the enlargement of 40 m at high rate of 960 kbps. The increase of the blocking probability results in the increase of the Erlang capacity, but not an effect on the cell coverage, and the increase of active users in a cell results in the decrease of the coverage.

음성과 데이터를 동시에 다양한 전송속도로 서비스하는 불완전 전력제어된 WCDMA 시스템의 역방향 링크에서 사용자 수 분포도에 따라 유도한 차단확률로부터 얼랑용량을 계산하고, COST231 WI(Walfisch-Ikegami) 모델로부터 전파손실을 계산해서 사용자 수와 셀 커버리지의 관계를 새롭게 제안하여 분석하였다. 데이터 전송속도 15 kbps에서 960 kbps 사이 음성과 데이터 사용자에 대한 얼랑용량은 상호 역 선형관계로 나타났고, 음성사용자를 8 kbps속도에서 50얼랑 기준으로 할 때 차단확률 2 %에서 $E_{b/}$ $N_{o}$ 가 4 ㏈에서 3 ㏈로 낮출 경우 15 kbps 저속에서는 데이터 용량이 8.5 얼랑 용량증가와 함께 도시 교외지역에서 셀 커버리지가 100 m 확장되었고, 960 kbps 고속에서는 0.11 얼랑 증가와 함께 셀 커버리지도 40 m 확장되었다. 여기서 차단확률을 조금 높였을 때 얼랑용랑은 증가하지만 셀 커버리지에는 별 영향이 없었고, 셀 내 사용자 수의 증가에 따라 셀 커버리지는 감소하였다.다.
