Foreword
Unlike the 2G network, UMTS is very layers in providing variety
flexible across all communication
of services.
For operators, this flexibility comes at the price of increased complexity, and much higher
risks in return for investment.

Nominal Planning
Based on the result of network dimension, we may design the radio network as following :
Choose Initial site location. Design engineering parameters such as Antenna height, azimuths and tilts. Design radio parameters such as scrambling code ,transmit power of different channels , etc.

UMTS RNP simulation

About simulation
Unlike GSM network, in CDMA coverage and capacity are too interrelated to be predicted accurately, so we introduced Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the performance of a radio network. The main source of randomness for a snapshot is the traffic intensity Other random parameters are the users mobility and service usage
Monte Carlo is a static simulation

A static model is far easier to handle than a dynamic one It inevitably falls short of capturing dynamic aspects (e.g. load control)

Site Survey
For each theoretical site, a physical site will be acquired in this phase through following steps:
Define search areas Identify candidate sites Site ranking Site acquisition
A suitable physical site

Give adequate radio coverage. Have connectivity into the transmission network. Be aesthetically and politically acceptable to the local community. Have power nearby, good access and a co-operative owner.
