PRB Usage

The resource utilisation, measured in terms of physical resource blocks (PRBs), is a useful measure of whether a cell is generally lightly loaded or not. Loading is a key input to network capacity planning and and coverage/placement determination and trending [9].

Active UEs

The number of the average connected users in each cell is valuable information for operators to know the usage of the cell and how heaviliy loaded it is. This kind of information can help understand the capacity and coverage needs and growth planning [9].
