Radio Network Planning and Optimisation for UMTS, SecondEdition, is a comprehensive and fully updated introduction toWCDMA radio access technology used in UMTS, featuring new contenton key developments. Written by leading experts at Nokia, the firstedition quickly established itself as a best-selling and highlyrespected book on how to dimension, plan and optimise UMTSnetworks. This valuable text examines current and future radionetwork management issues and their impact on network performanceas well as the relevant capacity and coverage enhancement methods.
In addition to coverage of WCDMA radio access technology used inUMTS, and the planning and optimisation of such a system, theservice control and management concept in WCDMA and GPRS networksare also introduced. This is an excellent source of information forthose considering future cellular networks where Quality of Service(QoS) is of paramount importance.
Key features of the Second Edition include:
* High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) - physicallayer, dimensioning and radio resource management
* Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms in network for servicedifferentiation
* Multiple Input - Multiple Output (MIMO) technology
* Practical network optimisation examples
* Service optimisation for UMTS and GPRS/EDGE capacityoptimisation
* The 'hot topic' of service control and managementin WCDMA and GPRS networks, that has evolved since the firstedition
Companion website includes:
* Figures
* Static radio network simulator implemented in MATLAB®
This text will have instant appeal to wireless operators andnetwork and terminal manufacturers. It will also be essentialreading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, frequencyregulation bodies and all those interested in radio networkplanning and optimisation, particularly RF network systemsengineering professionals.
