Overview of UMTS Planning
Ensuring that the RF coverage is sufficient within the network should start naturally with a good RF network plan. The objective of radio network planning is to provide maximum wireless coverage and capacity at minimal cost. Planning for UMTS differs substantially from previous wireless technologies, in particular GSM.The following course will give a detailed description about the selection of base station locations, the number of sectors to install and where to point the main lobe of each antenna.
