Operators of cellular networks aim to minimize the number of deployed base stations (or, equivalently, to maximize their coverage regions) given the required quality of service of their users. This is called the dimensioning problem. The inputs of this problem are essentially the traffic and Service demands and the required quality of service. If one knows the relation between the blocking probability, the base station coverage radius and the traffic demand, then the dimensioning problem may be solved in principle. Calculations must be performed in order to obtain a rough estimation of the minimum equipment needed to meet the defined Network requirement. The result of these calculations is used to create the Bill of Quantity (BoQ). In this project we have applied the dimensioning processes at Phase five Ericsson Wide band Code Division Multiple Access Radio Access Network (P5 Ericsson WCDMA RAN). In this matter we have considered the Coverage and Capacity for the downlink and Uplink of Wataniya Mobile Network.
In the Second Semester, we aim to implement efficient software to handle the dimensioning for P5 Ericsson WCDMA RAN. The software will be build based on Java Object Oriented Programming.
