Performance Evaluation of 6-Sector Site and Small Cell for Addis Ababa UMTS Deployment Scenario

The demand for high data rate has been increasing due to various innovative data services that improve human life. To accommodate the increasing demand with satisfactory Quality of Service (QoS), operators must continuously improve their network capacity. To that end, besides deploying a Fourth-Generation (4G) network, already operational Third-Generation (3G) network capacity can be improved by applying various capacity improving techniques including six sectorization, adding small cells, macro site densification, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and using multiple carrier.
