Features: This book is a comprehensive guide on WCDMA network planning and design. Its content helps readers accurately grasp the technical characteristics of WCDMA wireless networks, correctly understand the principles and key aspects of WCDMA wireless network planning, and achieve rational planning of WCDMA networks while appropriately controlling network costs. By comparing WCDMA with familiar second-generation wireless networks (GSM, CDMA), the book provides an in-depth yet accessible analysis of WCDMA network planning, outlining methods, processes, and result analysis for WCDMA wireless network planning, along with practical case studies. The book is divided into 14 chapters, covering the following main topics: WCDMA wireless network planning concepts, WCDMA technical features, WCDMA wireless network architecture, WCDMA wireless network capacity and evolution, differences and connections between WCDMA and GSM/CDMA network planning, wireless propagation theory and important network design concepts, preliminary planning of WCDMA wireless networks, detailed planning of WCDMA wireless networks, WCDMA wireless network planning solutions, special coverage of WCDMA wireless networks, technical selection and planning of wireless access bearer networks, discussions on WCDMA urban seamless coverage networking solutions, coexistence of WCDMA systems and various wireless systems, and calibration of propagation models. This book is primarily aimed at engineering and technical personnel in mobile network operators and network design units involved in WCDMA network planning and design, as well as college and university students, faculty, and wireless network engineering technicians in research institutions who are interested in WCDMA technology and its network planning.
