Example: to get 4.2 Mbps combined (of all UEs) L1 throughput with 12 users, 3
HSUPA resource steps are needed i.e. Resource steps 1-3 (32 CE + 16 CE + 16
CE = 64 CE)
UEs Peak Throughput depends on how many simultaneous UEs there is in each
HSUPA resource step at a time:
1-2 UEs in one HSUPA resource step:

2 Mbps peak rate per UE

3-4 UEs in one HSUPA resource step:

1.4 Mbps peak rate per UE

5-8 UEs in one HSUPA resource step:

384 kbps - <1.4 Mbps peak rate per UE
