Abstract :
The effects of planning parameter uncertainties in designing a cellular network are presented. Potential errors are quantified and consequences in cellular planning are shown. The analytical model employed is based upon novel general expressions, derived for the exact calculation of cochannel interference probability for nonstationary terminals in combined short and long term fading conditions. In particular the required quality of information about the propagation environment, for service quality and cell capacity estimation, is analysed
