Performance indicatorsDefinition

User experienced data rate (bps)The minimum achievable data rate for a user in real network environment
Connection density (/km2)The total number of connected devices per unit area
End-to-end latency (ms)The duration between the transmission of a data packet from the source node and the successful reception at destination node
Traffic volume density (bps/km2)The total data rate of all users per unit area
Mobility (km/h)The relative speed between receiver and transmitter under certain performance requirement
Peak date rate (bps)The maximum achievable data rate per user
