Description | Fast
approach based on statistical analysis and continuous mobile
terminal distribution, suitable for large network scenarios or a
first rough planning phase.
| Generation
of many discrete mobile terminal distributions and evaluation of
the network performance in a statistical manner. | Generation
of discrete mobile stations according to arrival and ending processes
and simulation of the network behavior over time with slot resolution.
This includes the fast power control algorithm, the movement of the
mobile terminals and cell changes. |
