Abstract

A simple method is derived for estimating the downlink capacity and required base station transmission power in a WCDMA system. This is based on a downlink pole equation which is mostly similar with the well known CDMA uplink pole equation. It is shown that the total downlink transmission power is composed of two terms. The first term is equal to what would be needed in the absence of interference and the second one shows the increase due to multiple access interference which is inversely proportional to 1-/spl eta//sub DL/ where /spl eta//sub DL/ is called the downlink loading. The method can be used in radio network dimensioning where extensive simulations can not be run. Usage of the method is demonstrated by some examples.
