Indoor radio planning: a practical guide for GSM, DCS, UMTS and HSPA

The topic of this book is Coverage Solutions for Cellular Networks in buildings. It provides an overview and background of Cellular systems technology. It covers why Indoor Coverage is needed for GSM, CDMA, and UMTS networks and how this coverage is achieved, from basic passive systems all the way through to advanced fiber optic systems. Each method is discussed in detail giving the reader a good understanding of all the available solutions. There is a section tocover multi operator systems, as this is becoming a more and more utilized approach. Techniques like Repeaters, BDA, Passive Antennas Systems, and Fiber Optic Systems are explained in detail and there is a dedicated section on how todesign an In-building solution for any technology, GSM, UMTS, PMR, and TETRA.It gives details on everything required to design a working in-building solution, as well as how to install it. Other sections cover noise, link budgets, and software tools that can be used to provide help with in-building designs. INDICE: Foreword by Prof. Simon Saunders Preface References 1. Introduction 2.
