Description
Book SynopsisMost books on network planning and optimization provide limited coverage of either GSM or WCDMA techniques. Few scrape the surface of HSPA, and even fewer deal with TD-SCDMA. Filling this void, Evolved Cellular Network Planning and Optimization for UMTS and LTE presents an accessible introduction to all stages of planning and optimizing UMTS, HSPA, and LTE cellular networks.
Supplying a comprehensive explanation of the fundamental aspects of current and future cellular networks, the text starts with an overview of each type of network, including basic techniques and channel models. Next, it examines the challenges operators and vendors are likely to faceexplaining the critical role network planning and optimization play in addressing these challenges. The book details effective system-level simulation methods, it also provides:
- A complete overview of UMTS, H
Trade Review
This edited volume provides an introduction to planning and optimization techniques and practices using system level simulation models for advanced cellular networks, covering UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System), HSPA (high-speed packet access), and LTE (long-term evolution) networks. It also addresses inter-operation issues with existing networks, issues of LTE deployment, troubleshooting, and radio performance analysis. -In Research Book News, booknews.com, February 2011
