W. Mende, E. Oppermann, L. Heitzer · 2002
The rapid development of mobile radio networks confronts the operators with serious problems in the planning and management of their networks. Due to the nature of the medium a number of new tasks appears if compared with fixed networks. Especially for a GSM network a large number of parameters related to the radio interface have to be planned and optimized. The effect of parameter settings is not limited to single or connected network elements but may extend over the whole area of radio coverage. This is strongly influencing the quality of the network.
