Total Users

The total number of UEs in the system (number of BS x UEs per cell) for CDMA (active and dropped) and number of active users for OFDMA.

Connected Users (active/ inactive)

Number of UEs connected. In CDMA and OFDMA it is assumed that all users are active.

Dropped Users

Number of Ues dropped after power balancing. If CDMA is victim it is the number of Ues dropped after introduction of interference. Note that uplink CDMA drops Ues based on the average noise rise in the system – so it is possible for a single interferer to “shut-down” the entire system (causing all Ues to be dropped).

In OFDMA, the purpose is to look at the bitrate/throughput loss and not to look at the number of dropped users, but it is possible to drop users depending on the input set-up.

Selected system

If more than one CDMA network is available in the scenario, a dropdown is used to select the system. You can choose to visualise either the victim or the interfering system which has been simulated. When you select the victim system, it is also possible to see the position of the interferer.

Selected sector

When tri-sector layout is used, it allows you to see the antenna pattern for the selected sector. Note that the antenna pattern should also be selected in the plot configuration (for visualisation purpose only).
