Tools and methods are provided to model and simulate the high-speed data
channel and the traffic scheduling function, and tools and methods to
simultaneously simulate the high-speed data channel and other voice and
data services sharing the same radio carrier. The tools and methods
estimate the quality of service and the capacity of the high-speed data
channel, and also estimate the impact of the high-speed data channels on
the quality of service and traffic capacity of other voice and data
services on the same radio channel. The tools and method can be used in a
wireless network planning tool to analyze a network that uses a radio
carrier exclusively for high-speed data channels, such as cdma2000 EV-DO.
The tools and method can also be used to analyze a network that combines
high-speed data channels and CDMA based services on the same radio
carrier, such as cdma2000 EV-DV or WCDMA HSDPA.
