Design and realization of WCDMA project simulation system

Abstract

WCDMA is the most widely used standard of 3rd-generation (3G) mobile communication in the world. The construction of WCDMA wireless network is complex. In order to meet the needs of the network construction in China, as well as the simulation teaching of Communication Profession in college, we designed and developed the software, "WCDMA Project Simulation System". The software uses geographic information technologies and raster algorithm, and analyses the main processes of wireless network construction, stimulating the key processes such as site location selection, coverage planning, and capacity planning and so on. This software can not only assist the network planning engineers in their works, but also be used in teaching of Communication Profession in a clear way, so it is with a high practical value. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
