A complete and practical guide to WCDMA/UMTS cellular networkdeployment.
After introducing the network architecture of such a system, theWCDMA (UMTS) Deployment Handbook defines the coverage andcapacity concepts associated with the dimensioning and designphases. Progressing to a discussion of the main system parametersassociated with network optimization and detailing optimizationtechniques for the main services supported by UMTS, and includesthe specifics of indoor deployment and HSDPA networksevolution.
* Covers all stages from planning to optimization with sufficientdetails as required on a day-to-day basis, and thorough referenceinformation for the reader who wants to understand the concepts inmore detail
* Relevant for daily tasks: The approach taken in this book issimilar to the work flow of network planner and optimizationengineers, allowing such personnel to easily find the relevantinformation
* Written by the company which made CDMA a household name:QUALCOMM was the first company to use CDMA technology for cellularapplication and is a technical leader in this domain
* Based on industry feedback: All the contributors to this bookhave been working in direct interaction with WCDMA operators,throughout the world, since the early days of WCDMA commercialdeployment
* Looking to the future: This book addresses the next level ofchallenge that WCDMA operators will face - deployment of indoorsystems and HSDPA
Providing a complete introduction and reference guide toeverything associated with the life cycle of a WCDMA/UMTS cellularnetwork, from initial dimensioning through to the successfuldeployment of indoor solutions, or migration to HSDPA, this book isa must-have for network planners and optimization engineers as wellas Telecommunication Engineering students.
