Synopsis

In cellular networks, a new generation of CDMA or WCDMA-based networks will start operations in most countries in the near future. The standardized WCDMA technology generates new challenges in radio network planning, optimization and QoS management because of the dynamic nature of its radio interface and various new services and different network operating modes. Moreover, new and modified radio planning phases as well as new field measurements and emphasized QoS management are needed when UMTS networks are designed and optimized. Hence, a practical UMTS planning process must be defined in detail, from dimensioning to optimization tasks. This book follows the UMTS planning process. It is organized in three parts: Part I - UMTS configuration planning; Part II - UMTS topology planning; and Part III - UMTS network functionality. The first chapter in Part I introduces the UMTS and UTRAN systems and radio network planning strategy, and defines a planning process for UMTS. In Chapter 2, theUMTS planning process is covered, and a detailed description of the UMTS power budget is given, with planning threshold examples provided.

Synopsis

"UMTS Radio Network Planning, Optimization and QOS Management" describes practical planning process and gives solutions for detailed planning actions by following the planning process. The role of radio planning tool environment is emphasized by specifying the requirements of the digital map production, design tool, field measurement tool, and QOS measurement tool and by giving several examples of the results of these topics. By following the content of the book, a reader is able to build up an efficient UMTS planning and optimization tool environment and to carry out a practical UMTS planning and optimization project from configuration planning to field and QOS measurements.
