Hello,
the numBands
parameter changes the available bandwidth provided by the cell (number of RBs).
The macCellThroughput
statistic measures the total traffic that the cell was able to serve. This metric depends on the traffic generated by the UEs and on the number of available bands, but only if the traffic was so high that the available bands were not enough to serve all the traffic generated by the UEs.
For example, if the traffic generated by the UEs only occupies 3 RBs, then the macCellThroughput
statistic will not change by increasing the numBands parameter from 6 to 100, since the UEs will still occupy 3 RBs only. You can observe the avgServedBlocks
metric to see how many bands, on average, were allocated.
Thank you very much.
Hi there. Running the /simu5G/simulations/NR/standalone_multicell/omnetpp.ini with different .carrierAggregation.componentCarrier[].numBands values, I expected to see higher throughput values increasing the bandwidth (6 to 50, e.g.), but I see in the results something strange. For instance: for: .carrierAggregation.componentCarrier[].numBands = 6 we get scalar MultiCell_Standalone.gnb1.cellularNic.mac macCellThroughputDl:mean 58152.100614993
for: .carrierAggregation.componentCarrier[].numBands = 100 we get scalar MultiCell_Standalone.gnb1.cellularNic.mac macCellThroughputDl:mean 58082.317802289
