CE Dimensioning

秘密▲CE Definition

One Channel Element is the base band resources required in the Node-B to provide capacity for one voice channel including control plane signaling, compressed mode, transmit diversity and softer handover.

秘密▲ZTE Channel Elements Features

Channel elements are pooled in one NodeB. No additional CE resource is needed for CCH The baseband processing board can process uplink and downlink

resource separately. ZTE’s BPC board can support 192CE for uplink and downlink respectively.

The processing resource consumed by softer handover has been reserved, so softer handover doesn’t consume more CE.

ZTE’s baseband processing board has special chip to handle the traffic of HS-PDSCH and HS-SCCH. So HSDPA downlink traffic will not consume CE.

HSUPA shares CE resource with R99 services

秘密▲CE Dimensioning Procedure

Subscribers per NodeB and traffic model will be the input of CE dimensioning. For CS service, CE number is calculated by using ErlangB model. Soft handover are considered. Base on the R99 CE mapping table and HSPA simulation result, the total CE per site can be calculated.

Total traffic of AMR 12.2K per site = 1000 * 0.025 = 25Erl According to Erlang-B model, simultaneous link number is 34.

秘密▲Calculation Process 2-2 (Phase 3 as Example)

CE Consumed by HSUPAIf we assume that there are 4 HSUPA users per cell and throughput is 100kbps per user. Then ZTE’s base processing unit will consume 20(4.8*4) CE.For HSUPA uplink and downlink associated channel, one online user will consume 0.3 CE if SRB over R99 3.4k signalling. HSUPA associated channel for 4 online users require 2CE for uplink and downlink respectively. So total CE consumed by HSUPA will be 22@UL and 2@DL.CE Consumed by HSDPAFor HSDPA service, ZTE base band processing board has special chip to handle the traffic of HS-PDSCH and HS-SCCH. So traffic consumes no CE in downlink. If HSDPA downlink SRB is borne on R99 (3.4K signalling), 8 online users will consume 3 (=0.3*8) CE. So total CE consumed by HSDPA will be 3@DL.

Total Required CEIf consider 30% SHO RatioTotal Uplink CE = ((AMR)34+(VP)18+(PS64)3+22(HSUPA))*1.3=101 CETotal Uplink CE = ((AMR)34+(VP)13+(PS64)2+(PS128)3+(PS384)6+2(HSUPA A-DCH)+3(HSDPA A-DCH))*1.3=82 CELimited by uplink, Total CE required is 101 CE.ZTE’s BPC board can hardware support 192CE. So the base band processing resource can meet the requirement.

秘密▲CE Dimensioning Result for Phase 1 to 3

ZTE’s BPC board can hardware support 192CE. According to users number that SPICE provided and traffic model ZTE proposed, one BPC board can meet the requirement with the configuration of S111. With the further development of users and high speed data service, then the configuration of S222 and accordingly more CE will be required.
