Basically LTE capacity dimensioning includes two parts which are capacity
dimensioning for single site and total network throughput calculation.
Capacity dimensioning for single site is performed based on some
dimensioning parameters such as duplex mode, system bandwidth and etc.
Total traffic volume calculation is performed based on service model and traffic
model. Firstly the single user throughput is calculated. Then the total network
throughput is output.
The Number of eNodeB by capacity is the result that the total traffic volume is divided
by the single site capacity.

By simulation SINR can be mapped to MCS. A certain MCS corresponds to a certain
throughput. So finally cell average throughput can be obtained by SINR distribution.

Based on service model and traffic model, the single user network throughput can be
calculated. Then the total network throughput can be obtained by multiplexing the
number of subscribers with the single user throughput.

Service model describe the service pattern which includes some typical parameters
for different service types.
Parameters in service model:
Session Time : the duration of each PPP session
Session Duty Ratio: the data transmission ratio of each PPP session
BLER: Block Error Rate
Bearer Rate : the service application layer(IP) bearer rate

Traffic model describes the UE behaviors.
Parameters in traffic model:
Penetration Ratio: proportion of service type
BHSA: busy hour session attempts for single user

Single User Throughput can be calculated based on traffic model and service model.
Basically it is the sum of throughput of different service types for one subscriber.
For PS service some margin should be reserved for burst traffic. So the parameter
Peak to Average Ratio is used in the formula.

The throughput in IP layer and MAC layer are different. For the same traffic data flow
the throughput in MAC is greater than that in IP layer because PDCP header/RLC
header/MAC header are added. The relative efficiency is related to the packet size. In
the table a packet size with 300 bytes is used as example.

U-NET can simulate the throughput of the MAC layer and the application layer and
the throughput of each service on the basis of sites and cells.
U-NET can also simulate the following counters:
Actual transmit power
Uplink IoT
Actual uplink load
Number of uplink RBs in use
Number of downlink RBs in use
Uplink/downlink service rate of the MAC layer
Uplink/downlink service rate of the application layer
Number of subscribers in each state
