Abstract

Strategic Planning for mobile networks has to consider the evolution from the existing 2nd Generation GSM architecture to a long term 3rd Generation UMTS architecture over various intermediate steps in the form of hybrid networks. The study of this evolution requires a corresponding Strategic Planning tool. This article deals with Strategic Network Planning and develops the corresponding models considering aspects like radio propagation, multi-service traffic and user mobility. The article presents a corresponding strategic planning tool which allows to study the evolution of a mobile network under the corresponding input data in the form of a service and topographic scenarios. The application of the tool to a specific network region is shown and costing perspectives for the different services are discussed.
