COURSE OVERVIEW

The CDMA Network Planning Training course will give the technical professional the required knowledge and background to perform RF network planning activities for a CDMA network.

The CDMA Network Planning Training course is intended for those individuals familiar with the CDMA Air Interface Standard, either IS-95 or CDMA2000, but desiring to understand the basic concepts behind planning a CDMA network. Topics covered include link budgets, propagation models and traffic modeling, and a review of available network planning tools required to successfully plan a CDMA network.

The specifics of CDMA network design are introduced; including PN planning, soft hand-off control, hard hand-off planning, packet zone planning and spectrum planning, and site selection criteria.
