Spectral Efficiency &
Costs of
Mobile Radio Systems
Training Course Description
- At this time many different mobile radio systems are competing for the 4G market. On the one hand competition is beneficial, but on the other hand the figures and arguments for the different standards are often confusing and difficult to comprehend. This training course addresses the needs of everybody who is involved in technical assessment and decision making related to the emerging 4G technologies.
- The training course starts with an overview of the KPI’s and gives the reasoning for a sound comparison of mobile radio standards.
- The processes to generate these KPI’s are introduced: Simulation, Link Budgeting, Network Planning, and Network Engineering.
- This part ends with an overview of the 3G and 4G standards being addressed in this training: GERAN, UMTS/HSPA, LTE, WiFI and WiMAX.
- The following part presents the key dependencies of the cost related KPI’s and their generation.
- Apart from the cost per user related KPI’s to following KPI’s are discussed in this training: Hard Blocking Capacity, Spectral Efficiency, Cell Density, and Cell Range.
- For the related standards publicly available figures for the KPI’s are given.
- Apart from discussion the KPI’s on their own also some background of how and why certain features of the standards influence these KPI’s is given in order to enable the student to discuss and to challenge figures coming from 3rd parties.
- Finally the KPI’s discussed in this training are combined in order to determine the cost position of the mobile radio system.

Some of your questions that will be answered
- Why and how mobile radio systems are compared with each other?
- What are the KPI’s for cost and effectively comparison and what are the processes to generate them?
- Why the hard blocking capacity or peak throughput on its own is unreliable to compare mobile radio systems?
- How do standards, chosen algorithms and other factors influence the performance of a mobile radio system?
- To what extent and at what expense higher order modulation and MIMO improve the link level performance and spectrum efficiency?
- What approach is used for link budget calculation in order to determine the cell range and the cell density?
- How do high data rate, higher order modulation and MIMO impair the cell range?
- How do mobile radio systems turn from noise limited into interference limited systems and how this relates to frequency reuse?
- Why scheduling is a new dimension to improve the spectral efficiency?
- What are the publicly available KPI’s of the different mobile radio systems?
- How costs can be derived from network engineering figures?
- What final trend can be seen for the different standards?
