Modelling and Dimensioning of Mobile Wireless Networks

Key Features:

* Describes the architecture and the modes of operation of the cellular 2/3/4G systems and the LTE network

* Covers the traffic theory and engineering within the context of mobile networks

* Presents original analytical methods that enable their users to dimension selected interfaces of cellular networks

* Discusses models for the analysis and dimensioning of the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) radio interface and the Iub interface, both carrying a mixture of Release 99 traffic (R99) and High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) traffic streams

* Includes problems as well as an accompanying website containing solutions, software tools and interactive flash animations (http://wiley.teletraffic.pl)

This book will be an invaluable guide for professional engineers (radio planning engineers, optimization engineers, transmission engineers, core network engineers, Service Management engineers) working in the areas of mobile wireless networks technology, not only in optimization process, but also in profitability assessment of newly implemented services (i.e. in NPV - Net Present Value analysis), and researchers and scientists. Advanced students in the fields of mobile communications networks and systems will also find this book insightful.
