Hi Rich!
It is very simple:)
If you have a channel with 64 kbit/s (230400 kbit/h)throughput and your information source bitrate is 230400 kbit/h, then you can say that your source is creating load with 1 Erl intensity on that channel. Accordingly – 230400/2 = 0.5 Erl, 230400/4=0.25 Erl for this case.
Hi professionals,
the WCDMA system is a little different from GSM and others. In GSM, when you used to have problems with traffic demand, you really need to imply more TRXs. But in WCDMA the Transport network is very important and must be primarily verified. Suppose you have a growing traffic that is reaching the transmission BW, then the chosen QoS will be in charge of reducing this BW in order to keep loss and delay requirements. Then, my answer is that you must verify your system before start increasing HW.
Hi,Singh.
It depends on the coding you choose. Standart voice channel is using PCM(Pulse code modulation) with result 64 Kbps. But with other modulations you can lower the speed to 8-9 Kbps.
