Sector Packet Throughput

Figure: Sector Throughput

For PS services (e.g. using HSDPA) the total throughput is recorded for each sector based on the size of all transport blocks transmitted in the current TTI. This throughput includes the overhead caused by physical layer retransmissions and header sizes. The data is given in form of histograms with additional information about minimum, maximum and mean values. This histogram data can also be used to approximate the cumulative density function (CDF). An example simulation result is depicted in the following figure.
