    摘要: The present invention relates to a system and method for calculating spare capacity in a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) communication network at sector and network level. The capacity is measured in terms of sellable customers, that is, the number of Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) that can be connected to a sector in order to deliver a minimum guaranteed downlink speed at a busy hour to each user. Using the available technical assets, business requirements (installation metrics, guaranteed speed, sales rate, CPE categories) and the performance of each individual sector and customer (cell and user delivered throughputs, radio quality of existing customers, activity ratio of existing customers), the present invention enables accurate estimation of the remaining number of sellable customer premise equipment, and to identify capacity bottlenecks, forecast capacity expansions and plan marketing campaigns or promotions. In addition, the invention provides the ability to identify sectors with no spare capacity and provides inferences on the reasons for the no spare capacity state. The system as per the present invention comprises a computing unit having a comparison unit and a user interface for enabling the afore-mentioned method.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system and method for determining user throughput in a cell sector of a cellular network. The method includes estimating a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) available for a user in the cell sector at a given frequency, estimating data throughput per PRB in the cell sector at the given frequency, wherein data throughput per PRB in the cell sector includes a plurality of PRB values across a plurality of parts of the cell sector respectively, estimating a product of the number of PRBs and data throughput per PRB in the cell sector at the given frequency, to generate user throughput data at the given frequency in the plurality of parts of the cell sector, and summing a plurality of user throughput data computed at corresponding plurality of frequencies to generate an overall user throughput in the plurality of parts of the cell sector.
