Radio Access Network Dimensioning for 3G UMTS

An important means for improving the cost-efficiency in modern mobile radio networks is to dimension the radio access network carefully.

Xi Li presents innovative analytical models and algorithms for the dimensioning of the 3G UMTS Radio Access Network (RAN). The proposed analytical models allow efficient and accurate dimensioning for different evolutions of UMTS radio access technologies. The author validates the analytical models by simulations using developed UMTS system simulation mod...
