This document outlines the objectives and modules of a 3G radio network planning training. The training will describe the different planning areas in 3G networks and explain the differences between GSM and WCDMA air interfaces. Key factors like power budgets, load calculations, and input needed for radio access network dimensioning will also be covered. Additional topics include capacity and coverage improvement, planning support for 3G rollouts, radio resource management, optimization actions, and Nokia base station products. The overall goal is for participants to understand 3G radio network planning fundamentals.
