We present an analytic derivation of downlink dimensioning for a wireless network employing the "High Speed Downlink Packet Access" (HSDPA) standard [Moulsley, Conference Publication No. 477, IEE 2001], currently being developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) [http://www.3gpp.org] as part of the next stage in the evolution of the WCDMA standard. We determine the maximum possible cell radius such that the probability of outage, Pout, at the cell's "worst" location does not exceed a preset value under full load condition. The results of the paper are presented in the form of curves obtained by numerical integration of integral expressions. The results can be used, for instance, to find the increase in cell radius achievable by a certain reduction in the threshold value of the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) defining outage.
