Optimal site and antenna location for UMTS - output results of 3G network simulation software

Abstract

The paper presents output results of 3G network simulation software in the area of optimal site location as well as finding optimal values of antenna tilt. The loss of capacity is shown for a wide range of tilts and different antenna directions. Nonuniform distribution of base stations has been also included in the simulation scenarios influencing system performance. All of the described parameters are especially significant to CDMA systems network planning.
