Introduction: The course also covers how to expand the network, techniques to boost capacity, how to lower interference and increase quality in the network. Macro cell planning is emphasized in the course, however planning with micro- and pico-cells is also featured. Furthermore it is discussed how cell-planning tools can enhance the cell planning process and how problems can be solved regarding coexistence with other systems. Prerequisites: In order to get full benefit from Radio Network Planning , it is recommended that the participants should have understanding of GSM base mobile system and basic knowledge of electromagnetism. Who Should Attend: Engineers from Radio Network Planning, managers, or other personnel responsible for RF systems whether wireless, cellular/mobile, microwave, or other, will benefit from a comprehensive understanding of Radio Network Planning, An electrical engineering degree or equivalent background is desired, but not required. This course is equally beneficial for the professionals to enhance their skills and young engineers to get adequate skills and knowledge required to get entered in to the most challenging, demanding and highly paid field of Telecommunications.
