Page Throughput / Page Throughput (UE average)

Figure: Mean Page Throughput

In PS service simulations for each successfully transmitted page the page throughput is collected. This statistic is given per PS service per sector [in KBytes/s]. That means for each sector there is one histogram reported. It is determined by the page size (amount of data) and the transmission time, i.e. the time between the arrival of the first packet of the current page at the air interface (network side) and the time of successful reception of the last packet belonging to the current page at the mobile side. There are two different histograms available: one contains one value for each completed page. For the second one (UE average page throughput) the mean page throughput of a UE is determined at the end of the UEs session and this mean value is inserted in the histogram, i.e. there is one value for each completed session (UE). An example figure for a simulation series with increasing traffic load and the mean page throughput taken from the histogram is depicted in the following figure.
