> For Voice call profile two approaches are possible: Voice call profile is well known and may be used directly as an input (customer call
profile),
Voice call profile is estimated from one of the three Nortel call profiles.
> With this call profile, the capacity tool estimates the associated traffic load perTMU.
> The dimensioning tool takes into consideration the following constraints: Dynamic Agprs : compression rate used TMU capacity : erlang max depending of the result of Capacity tool
> The strongest constraint (for the considered case) determines the number ofBSCe3 for the given network configuration.

Link Adaptation: DL MCS & BLER
From conservative setting (MCS 5&7 usage) we moved toa better high MCS usage while keeping good BLER
Better high MCS usage
First MCS usage
Keeping good BLER value
