I use Optimi "WIZARD" for our CDMA network planning. Not quite as good as Marconi "PLANET" ... but does a fine job of predicting coverage and pn pollution interference as well as loading situations. "PLANET" has a good article on "Improving Network Design" and I have attached a document on design from "Wizard" as well.
Hi there. I find the ASSET Enterprise tool a very powerful tool. It is very good for GSM and CDMA cell planning. However, it needs tuning when it gets to CDMA. It gets useless for WIMAX planning though!
