1st Edition
by Maciej Stasiak (Author), Mariusz Glabowski (Author), Arkadiusz Wisniewski (Author), Piotr Zwierzykowski (Author)
This book is a must-read for all network planners and other professionals wishing to improve the quality and cost efficiency of 3G and LTE networks
In this book,
the authors address the architecture of the 2/3G network and the Long
Term Evolution (LTE) network. The book proposes analytical models that
make the analysis and dimensioning of the most important interfaces,
i.e. WCDMA or Iub, possible. Furthermore, the authors include
descriptions of fundamental technological issues in 2/3 G networks,
basic traffic engineering models and frequent examples of the
application of analytical models in the analysis and dimensioning of the
interface of cellular networks. The specific knowledge included in the
content will enable the reader to understand and then to prepare
appropriate programming softwares that will allow them to evaluate
quality parameters of cellular networks, i.e. blocking probabilities or
call losses. Additionally, the book presents models for the analysis and
dimensioning of the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)
radio interface and the Iub interface, both carrying a mixture of
Release 99 traffic (R99) and High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) traffic
streams. Finally, the analytical models presented in the book can be
also used in the process of modeling and optimization of LTE networks.
Key Features:
- Describes the architecture and the modes of operation of the cellular 2/3/4G systems and the LTE network
- Covers the traffic theory and engineering within the context of mobile networks
- Presents original analytical methods that enable their users to dimension selected interfaces of cellular networks
- Discusses
models for the analysis and dimensioning of the Wideband Code Division
Multiple Access (WCDMA) radio interface and the Iub interface, both
carrying a mixture of Release 99 traffic (R99) and High-Speed Packet
Access (HSPA) traffic streams
This
book will be an invaluable guide for professional engineers (radio
planning engineers, optimization engineers, transmission engineers, core
network engineers, Service Management engineers) working in the areas
of mobile wireless networks technology, not only in optimization
process, but also in profitability assessment of newly implemented
services (i.e. in NPV - Net Present Value analysis), and researchers and
scientists. Advanced students in the fields of mobile communications
networks and systems will also find this book insightful.
