Offloading Aggregation - Nultiple Entities
A cell is covering a business area
populated 5000 workers. Based on the
previous table, the generated traffic in
the area is about 91 Mbps. Assuming
30% are subscribers, the macro base
station needs to provide the indoor
subscribers about 30 Mbps.
Macro
Base

Environment CeII Average Throughput [MBPS] CeII Edge Throughput [MBPS]
ndoor 45 2.1
Microcell 32 0. 96
Urban 16-30 0 73
High Speed 21 0. 76
10 MHz channel 2X2 MMO
f these subscribers are not well
covered an LTE cell will not be able to
support this amount of traffic
