Longer idle time for lightly loaded sector, creating less interference to
the neighbor sectors
RL Eb/Nt affected
Less active users for lightly loaded sector, created less interference to
the neighbor sectors and the user in the same sector

FL & RL Data rates at cell edge
Based on the coverage footprints for each sector, sum up the traffic within
coverage footprint and estimate FL and RL loading factor by comparing with
capacity limit.
Based on new loading factors, calculate FL Eb/Nt and RL Eb/Nt and reestimate coverage footprint
Repeat step 2 with new coverage footprint and calculate new FL and RL

Then find the corresponding sector
throughput limit as per SADS (active
users
This would provide more accurate
sector throughput limits than a single
limit defined in mobile list
Throughputinkbps
FL Sector Throughput
Increases as the number of active
users increases due to scheduler
gain
RL Sector Throughput
Decreases as the number of active
users increases due to extra nontraffic overhead channels needed

Capacity Limit Source 3: AirPro calculation
Sector throughput would increase if more users are in good RF conditions and
can achieve higher data rate
By assuming the sector would transfer the data traffic at its maximum
achievable data rate, AirPro calculates:
FL achievable sector throughput in kbps

Based on maximum achievable FL data rate rates within the areas
predicted to be balanced F/R covered.
RL achievable sector throughput in kbps
Based on maximum achievable RL data rate rates within the areas
predicted to be balanced F/R covered.
Note: Current AirPros calculation is for evaluating the impact of RF
condition and relative subscriber location on sector throughput. The
results should not be directly quoted to the customer as the actual
supportable capacity.
