Q: How many concurrently activated users can a single cell support?
A: We will define three types of UEs:
- registered: the UE SIM ID is present in the HSS database;
- connected: the UE is connected to the 4G/5G network but idle;
- active: the UE is connected to the 4G/5G network and downloading or uploading.
The limits of ORS are:
