In addition to coverage of WCDMA radio access technology used in UMTS, and the planning and optimisation of such a system, the service control and management concept in WCDMA and GPRS networks are also introduced. This is an excellent source of information for those considering future cellular networks where Quality of Service (QoS) is of paramount importance.

Key features of the Second Edition include:

High-speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) - physical layer, dimensioning and radio resource management

Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms in network for service differentiation

Multiple Input - Multiple Output (MIMO) technology

Practical network optimisation examples

Service optimisation for UMTS and GPRS/EDGE capacity optimisation

The “hot topic” of service control and management in WCDMA and GPRS networks, that has evolved since the first edition

This text will have instant appeal to wireless operators and network and terminal manufacturers. It will also be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, frequency regulation bodies and all those interested in radio network planning and optimisation, particularly RF network systems engineering professionals.
