Written for wireless operators, network and terminal manufacturers, frequency regulation bodies, and university students, this book explains how to dimension, plan, and optimize Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks.  It introduces the properties of the spread spectrum system and provides a general overiew of the physical layer of Universal Terrestrial Radio Access.  The radio network planning process for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) is presented and information on how to dimension, plan, and roll out a 3rd generation network, both theoretically and practically, is provided.  This text examines current and future radio network management issues and their impact on network performance as well as the relevant capacity and coverage enhancement methods. 

Companion Software: A static radio network simulator implemented in MATLAB is available on CD bound in the book.
