UMTS Radio Network Simulation with Smart Antennas
Boukalov O. Adrian, Sven-Gustav Häggman · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2005
Smart antennas (SA) system integration into different types of cellular environments requires simulation tool which able to take into account radio propagation, network control, users’ behaviour, traffic and SA algorithms simultaneously. DS-CDMA radio network simulation tool “NetSim” was further extended in order to simulate different types of smart antennas like switched beam and adaptive antennas with different types of beamforming algorithms. Study of radio network control functions, such as: admission, handover and power control together with different spatial processing algorithms became possible. Capacity improvement of CDMA network with different types of SA was studied by simulation. Traffic model of multi-bit rate services was included in the simulations. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
