Abstract :
In this paper we describe the problem of determining the site requirements for 3G multimedia services. Estimating the minimum number of sites required to provide sufficient coverage and capacity is vital for network planning purposes. We demonstrate how link budget analysis can be used in conjunction with capacity constraints to estimate site requirements, taking into account mobility requirements and other factors dictated by the service mix.
