Modelling for a Single User

Each pixel of the map is considered as one HSDPA user
Each HSDPA user is processed as if he is the only user in the cell => he uses the entire
available HSDPA power of the cell
Modelling for Several Users

Atoll considers several HSDPA users per pixel
The cell HSDPA power is shared between users
