Applicative WCDMA mobile network planning and optimization

In this paper we refer to the very important role of detailed and advanced planning, as well as to the optimization of radio network of the next generation wireless networks that offers multimedia traffic. Next generation mobile operators that are adapting 3G mobile technologies and beyond are facing more and more challenges connected to the design and planning of the factual multi service radio networks as WCDMA itself. These challenges are not independent and must be considered together with the user's demand and performance analyses as key factors of designing process, dimensioning and pre-operational optimization of the infrastructure of radio network.
