Features: This book is a comprehensive guide on WCDMA network planning and design. The content of this book 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 the goal of rationally planning WCDMA networks and appropriately controlling network costs. Through a comparative analysis of WCDMA network planning with familiar second-generation wireless networks (GSM, CDMA), this book provides an in-depth yet accessible examination of WCDMA network planning. It presents methods, processes, and result analysis for WCDMA wireless network planning, along with specific case studies. The book is divided into 14 chapters, covering the following main topics: WCDMA wireless network planning concepts, WCDMA technical characteristics, WCDMA wireless network structure, 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, exploration of 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 working in WCDMA network planning and design in mobile network operators and network design units, as well as college and university students, researchers, and wireless network engineering technicians in research institutions who are interested in WCDMA technology and its network planning.
