Abstract

Competition in telecommunications business is increasing. New business models, like Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), shape the environment and network operators need to find cost efficient ways to offer good quality services for their end users. For operators it is important to shorten the time from network design to commercial launch. In addition they must ensure continuous service experience also when network extensions are introduced. Continuous service experience can be guaranteed only if the network is pre-analyzed and continuously monitored using measured data. In this paper measurement methods for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) radio network design verification are introduced and their applicability in different stages of the network life cycle is addressed.
