"By 2008, some 2 billion people will be using mobilephones and devices, in many cases to access advanced data services.Against this backdrop, the need for efficient and effective networkdesign will be critical to the success of increasingly complexmobile networks."
Simon Beresford-Wylie (SVP, Nokia Networks)
With the complexity of the cellular networks increasing day byday, a deeper understanding of the design and performance ofend-to-end cellular networks is required. Moreover, all the typesof networks from 2G-2.5G-3G seem to co-exist. Fundamentalsof Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation coversend-to-end network planning and optimisation aspects from secondgeneration GSM to third generation WCDMA networks including GPRSand EDGE networks. All the sub-systems of the network i.e. radionetwork, transmission network and core network have been coveredwith focus on both practical and theoretical issues. By bringingall these concepts under one cover, this book becomes essentialreading for the network design engineers working either withcellular service vendors or operators, experts/scientists workingon end-to-end issues and undergraduate/post-graduate students.
Key Highlights:
* Distinctly divided into four parts: 2G (GSM), 2.5G (GPRS &EDGE), 3G (WCDMA) and introduction to 4G (OFDM, ALL-IP, WLANOverview) respectively
* Each part focuses on the radio, transmission and corenetworks.
* Concentrates on cellular network planning process and explainsthe underlying principles behind the planning and optimizing of thecellular networks.
The text will serve as a handbook for anyone engaged in thestudy, design, deployment and business of cellular networks.
