Desarrollo de un simulador celular a nivel de llamada para WCDMA

Abstract

This article deals with the development of a cell simulator for WCDMA systems. The objective of this tool is to test the results of different algorithms for the cell radius calculation. This simulation tool is conceived on a call/connection level rather than on a packet level. This means that each user connection is considered as a single event independently of the type of service. The article also shows an independent tool for the cell radius calculation which results over different service scenarios are tested with the simulator. Finally the future enhancements of the simulator are presented.
