Book Description
“By 2008, some 2 billion people will be using mobile phones and devices, in many cases to access advanced data services. Against this backdrop, the need for efficient and effective network design will be critical to the success of increasingly complex mobile networks.” Simon Beresford-Wylie (SVP, Nokia Networks) With the complexity of the cellular networks increasing day by day, a deeper understanding of the design and performance of end-to-end cellular networks is required. Moreover, all the types of networks from 2G-2.5G-3G seem to co-exist.
Fundamentals of Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation covers end-to-end network planning and optimisation aspects from second generation GSM to third generation WCDMA networks including GPRS and EDGE networks. All the sub-systems of the network i.e. radio network, transmission network and core network have been covered with focus on both practical and theoretical issues. By bringing all these concepts under one cover, this book becomes essential reading for the network design engineers working either with cellular service vendors or operators, experts/scientists working on end-to-end issues and undergraduate/post-graduate students.
Key Highlights:
- Distinctly divided into four parts: 2G (GSM), 2.5G (GPRS & EDGE), 3G (WCDMA) and introduction to 4G (OFDM, ALL-IP, WLAN Overview) respectively
- Each part focuses on the radio, transmission and core networks.
- Concentrates on cellular network planning process and explains the underlying principles behind the planning and optimizing of the cellular networks.
The text will serve as a handbook for anyone engaged in the study, design, deployment and business of cellular networks.

Reader Reviews
Eventhough the book covers most wireless related topics on network planning (CDMA-2000 is an obvious ommission, especially when describing the 3G rates: no mention about EV-DO revA and its potential for peak rates of 3.84 Mb/s), I thought it lacked the depth on certain areas. Most items of concern for network planners are mentioned, but none of the issues were addressed in depth. I was disappointed about the last chapter (4G). It lacked substance and drew some parallels between OFDM and GSM that I thought were not well linked. Some typos are spread over the book (I could notice OFDM written and OFMD), and page 209 had several asterisks in a sentence addressing the complexity of SGSN and GGSN dimensioning.
