Optimized UTRAN Topology Planning Including Point-to-Multipoint Equipment

Abstract

Network optimization strategies are core ingredients of radio access network planning for second and third generation mobile systems like GSM and UMTS. We present a combined approach for network topology optimization of the UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) which considers the logical network structure as well as transport network aspects. We focus on including Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) equipment in UTRAN topology. Applications of the derived methods are illustrated with some reference examples from real-world network scenarios.
