2nd Edition
by Ajay R. Mishra (Author)
Updated new edition covering all aspects of network planning and optimization
This
welcome new edition provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of
network planning in all the technologies, from 2G to 5G, in radio,
transmission and core aspects. Written by leading experts in the field,
it serves as a handbook for anyone engaged in the study, design,
deployment and business of cellular networks. It increases basic
understanding of the currently deployed, and emerging, technologies, and
helps to make evolution plans for future networks. The book also
provides an overview of the forthcoming technologies that are expected
to make an impact in the future, such as 5G.
Fundamentals of Cellular Network Planning and Optimization, Second Edition
