Differentenvironment types have been defined within WINNER associated with coverage and cell types. Thetypical distance range is always a question of data rates required by applications: higher data rates lowerdistance range; lower data rates, higher distance range.Local area scenarios (office/residential/commercial) are characterised mainly with low terminal mobility,short-range coverage (pico or micro-cells) with typical distance range of 3 – 100 m (Indoor small office /residential) and 20 – 100 m (Hotspot / Typical urban micro-cell), high density of users and high data rateapplications. Metropolitan area scenarios (urban/suburban) normally requires ubiquitous coverage (microor macro-cells) with typical distance range of 20 – 400 m and are characterised with medium/high trafficdensity with medium terminal velocity. Wide Area scenarios are characterised by a continuous andubiquitous coverage (normally macro-cells), medium/high terminal velocity and low rate applicationsmainly based on voice.4.1.2 Terminal typeThe WINNER system is user-oriented, which enables communication anytime, anywhere with anyone oranything. Different terminal types are envisaged in WINNER evaluation scenarios in order to satisfy enduser requirements and taking full part of the available services and applications. The terminal types can bederived from a set of physical characteristics and capabilities such as: user friendly, display size,portability (size and weight), power consumption, maximum transmit power (related with link budget andcell range) The identified terminal types for scenario generation are (cf. Table 4.1): wearable terminal,palmtop (PDA), mobile phone, laptop and desktop.4.1.3 User density and traffic parametersUser density depends highly on the environment type and can be defined per service/application type. Themost demanding applications typically experience coverage limitations. The Table 4.2 characterises theuser density and traffic parameters such as number of session attempts and average session duration perenvironment and typical applications [SCE+05].Page 18 (41)
