Designed mainly for engineers and managers working on the planning and deployment of UMTS radio networks, this course provides an appreciation of the issues and design procedures that need considering when planning a UMTS radio network.

Planning concepts and procedures are examined, with specific emphasis on the requirements of the 3G (UMTS) radio network, including capacity and coverage, the use of link budgets, traffic modelling and quality of service, cell planning and optimisation, and the use of planning tools. A comparison is made with GSM radio planning techniques.

Why should you attend this course?

Delegates who complete this 1-day technology programme will be able to:

• Describe  the key concepts that affect performance of a UMTS radio system
• List the main procedures used for 3G radio planning and identify three main differences between UMTS and GSM radio planning requirements
• Describe the complex relationship between Capacity, Coverage and Quality within the UMTS radio network
• List the major components of the UMTS Radio Link Budget
• Relate basic traffic modelling parameters to QoS requirements in the radio network
• Use a flow chart to represent the UMTS Cell Planning & Optimisation process, and describe each stage in terms of its function and operation
• Better appreciate the complexity of UMTS Radio Site Selection and relate the processes to the less complex requirements of GSM
• Describe the use of Radio Planning Tools in the overall UMTS radio planning process

Course Summary:

• Introduction and Review of UMTS
• Capacity and Coverage
• Traffic Modelling
• Cell Planning and Optimisation
