Are you comparing bandwidths within the same band, such as n41 with 80 MHz and 100 MHz, or are you evaluating two different bands with these bandwidths?
A higher bandwidth (100 MHz) directly increases the available data rates compared to 80 MHz.
This is due to the larger spectrum allowing more resource blocks (RBs) to be allocated per user, leading to higher peak and average throughput.
Capacity with High User Density:
With more users, a higher bandwidth provides better capacity to accommodate simultaneous connections.
100 MHz can handle a larger number of active users with consistent quality of service (QoS), whereas 80 MHz might face limitations in maintaining throughput under heavy loads.
Cost of Bandwidth:
Higher bandwidth, such as 100 MHz, typically incurs greater licensing and operational costs.
Evaluate the trade-off between the performance benefits and the additional expense to determine the cost-efficiency for your deployment scenario.
You can calculate the throughput per user and then compare the performance for a specific number of users with both bandwidth options (80 MHz and 100 MHz).
This will clearly demonstrate the differences in capacity and user experience for each scenario.
