Performance Analysis of UMTS Cellular Network using Sectorization Based on Capacity and Coverage in Different Propagation Environment
Md Sadman Islam, Jannat-E Noor, Soyoda Marufa Farhana · 2012
Performance analysis of umts network is of major interest, because of the WCDMA technique used in umts, which leads to an interference limited system with a dynamic cell capacity and load dependent cell coverage. The performance of umts network depends on sectorization; also, the coverage area depends significantly on the geografical nature and the propagatoin environment of the covered area. In this paper, the capacity and coverage of umts cellular network covering a densed urban area and suburban area are simulated for incrising amount of sectorization showing the number of users and coverage area gradually increased. For modelling the propagatoin, the cost-231 hata model has been used.
