Abstract

A static radio network simulator for studying various topics of 3rd generation WCDMA radio network planning is presented. The simulator allows analyzing coverage, capacity and quality of service related issues. Input to the simulator is the network scenario and the user information as a mobile station map. The uplink and downlink are separately analyzed and the outputs are presented in form of maps of best server, number of users, served traffic, SHO areas, AS size, SHO statistics for the area and for the users, Perch C/I plots. In the analysis, impact of the 3rd generations fast power control and soft(er) handover (SHO) possibility are taken into account by importing link level simulations into the analyses. The whole simulator is entirely based on Matlab(R) software
