Abstract

The paper presents output results of 3G network simulation software in the area of optimal site location as well as finding optimal values of antenna tilt. The loss of capacity is shown for a wide range of tills and different antenna directions. Non-uniform distribution of base stations has also been included in the simulation scenarios influencing the system´s performance. All of the described parameters are especially significant to CDMA systems network planning.
