{Total UL NR = Traffic Model Traffic Model( Cell Range )}
Total UL Noise Rise<Max. UL Noise Rise must be true
Max. UL Noise Rise is set by below UTRAN parameters:

Presentation Summary
UMTS Link Budget methodology:
Uplink: Cell Range derivation based on specific UL dimensioning service
Downlink:
Calculation for each DL service of required power necessary to reach cell edge
Comparison with maximum allowed power for this DL service
UMTS Link Budget tool usage:
Main objective: derive Cell Range assuming a dimensioning UL service
Other features: UL and DL Capacity calculation via formulas
Gives an idea of capacity without running any simulation
Gives inputs for Radio Dimensioning and Cell Planning
Used to study impact of features on RF aspects
