Empirical Study on 2G-3G Optimization Of Star link Engineering Limited

Abstract

3G (Third Generation) network technologies are also already, specified and in many parts of the world operational. The 3G version in Europe is named UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). Its air interface will be based on WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) transmission. 3G networks provide substantially higher capabilities than 2G. RF PLANNING stands for “Radio frequency & Planning”. Achieving maximum capacity while maintaining an acceptable grade of service and good speech quality is the main issue for the network planning. RF Planning is the process of assigning frequencies, transmitter locations and parameters of a wireless communications system to provide sufficient coverage and capacity for the services required. The RF plan of a cellular communication system has two objectives: coverage and capacity. With the proper RF planning we not only save the huge wastage of the money spent in putting up the Transceiver setup but also provide a QOS with the current network. The basic approach to RF planning is to first analyze the present quality of network and then providing a proper recommendation to improve QOS. The report covers various aspects of network optimization in 2G and 3G empirically
