Optimization of the existing 3G networks for the growing number of users becomes more and more of an issue. The special aspects of the interference technology WCDMA lead to the necessity to change 2G optimization strategies or even develop completely new ones. There is also a higher demand on the technological background knowledge of planning and optimization staff for developing and applying 3G optimization strategies.
On one hand, the course aims at explaining the technological background necessary for optimization. On the other hand the participant will be guided through the abundance of optimization tasks, from data collection via evaluation to optimization of hardware and software parameters.

Target Group / Requirements

The course is aimed at planning and optimization staff, who need knowledge of analysis, evaluation and optimization procedures for their daily work with 3G networks. The participant is supposed to have knowledge of UMTS technology.
