In this example simulation, five simulation cases (CASE 0-CASE 4) will be referenced. For CASE 0 (the baseline CASE for this example simulation), a batch-size selection scheduling scheme with random selection is used. For CASE 1, heuristic individual scheduling is used based upon execution of the heuristic scheduling algorithm 136 with a scheduling unit set equal to 1 hour. For CASE 2, a heuristic individual scheduling scheme is used based upon execution of the heuristic scheduling algorithm 136 with a scheduling unit set equal to 3 hours. For CASE 3, an individual scheduling scheme with a first MIP model is used. For CASE 4, an individual scheduling with a second MIP model is used. Comparison measurements of this example simulation utilize a time unit set equal to 10 minutes and measured throughput is updated at each time unit (i.e., every 10 minutes).

The example simulation measures network impact based upon the number of international mobile subscriber identities (“IMSIs”) per cell, active cell, active neighbor (“NBR”) cells, and cell load (in MB). IMSI per cell specifies the number of active IMSIs in a given cell during one time unit. Active cell specifies the number of active cells during one time unit. The active NBR specifies the number of active neighbor cells of a cell during one time unit. The cell load specifies the OTA traffic of every cell during one time unit. This example simulation also provides OTA download-related measurements, including average download duration (in seconds), average effective duration (in seconds), and download completion ratio in two days. The download duration is equal to download end minus download start. The effective download duration is equal to download time connecting to the network 114 via the RAN 108.
