PS OTA cell throughput

Figure: Over-The-Air throughput

During dynamic PS simulations the Over The Air (OTA) throughput is determined and statistically recorded. The OTA throughput is defined as the amount of successfully transferred (HSDPA) data (all successfully transferred Transport Blocks (TB) including its padding and header bits) divided by the activity time of the corresponding cell. I.e. silent periods are not considered in this measurements. The OTA is given for each cell. An example OTA simulation result is visualized in the following figure.
