Third Generation Personal Communication Systems: A Study of Case on the Implementation of UTRA WCDMA FDD Networks

It is developed a study of case, unifying theoretical and practical aspects, regarding the cell-planning of a third generation (3G) network that implements a radio interface based on the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) Wideband Code division Multiplexing (WCDMA) Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) technology. The used methodology is validated by the close agreement between the measured and estimated cell coverage.
