RPU is revenue per connected user, which is
calculated at every 15 minutes of connection time.
If we assume that one base station capacity is
600 connected users, then total revenue per base
station will be 600 Connected Users x 60$. And this
calculation assumes that users will stay connected
for 24 hours per day and 30 days per month.

Fig. 2 – Average revenue at each 15 minutes

Fig. 2 shows one sample distribution at busy hours
of a day. Fig. 3 shows the revenue of a base station
for every 15-minute interval in a day, and one day
consists of 96 15-minute intervals. Fig. 5 shows the
average revenue per day of a base station. Fig. 5 – Average revenue per day
Fig. 6 shows the average revenue per day for VUPU investment will start when BET  0, and the
randomly selected three base stations in a network following formula is used to determine the price of
cluster. When a base station is in operational state one VUPU:
for a long time, it will be financially faster to break-
even and to reach positive revenue. ( ) VUPU =
∑ (∑ =180( +1) ( , . ))+max { ,0} (4)
=1
=180

where ( ) VUPU is the price of VUPU at time T, and
k value ranges from 0 to 959. S is the number of
shares issued by the wireless service provider, B is
the number of base stations in a certain cluster, or
in a certain geographical region.
