Written by leading experts at Nokia, the first edition quickly established itself as a best-selling and highly respected book on how to dimension, plan and optimise UMTS networks. This valuable text examines current and future radio network management issues and their impact on network performance as well as the relevant capacity and coverage enhancement methods.  \u003cp\u003eIn addition to coverage of WCDMA radio access technology used in UMTS, and the planning and optimisation of such a system, the service control and management concept in WCDMA and GPRS networks are also introduced. This is an excellent source of information for those considering future cellular networks where Quality of Service (QoS) is of paramount importance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features of the Second Edition include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) – physical layer, dimensioning and radio resource management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuality of Service (QoS) mechanisms in network for service differentiation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultiple Input – Multiple Output (MIMO) technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical network optimisation examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eService optimisation for UMTS and GPRS\/EDGE capacity optimisation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe ‘hot topic’ of service control and management in WCDMA and GPRS networks, that has evolved since the first edition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompanion website includes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFigures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStatic radio network simulator implemented in MATLAB®\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis text will have instant appeal to wireless operators and network and terminal manufacturers.
