Scenario: Customer X in Country Y had inquired about how to calculate the

average DL/UL throughput of a QCI9 user using the M2000 Performance Counters.

Equipment:
enodeB is on SingleRAN V100R002 (BTS3900 V100R008C00SPC140)
Wimax is on V300R005C00SPC100 + SPH120
M2000 is on V200R013C00SPC200

If you will only calculate for User DL / UL PDCP Layer Average

Throughput (Mbps) in QCI9, then the following calculation will
apply:

[QCI9] User DL PDCP Layer Average Throughput (Mbps) =

(L.Thrp.bits.DL.QCI.9) / ((L.Thrp.Time.DL.QCI.9) (ms) / 1000) /1000000
