Abstract

The problem of dimensioning UTRAN radio interface along with the cell radius coverage evaluation algorithm are two challenging tasks based on a process which is different from the classical planning process applied for 2^nd generation systems. Iterative methods found in the literature show divergence risks which are often met in practice. In this paper, we introduce a new method so as to avoid all undesired situations.
