Most books on network planning and optimization provide limited coverage of either GSM or WCDMA techniques. Few scrape the surface of HSPA, and even fewer deal with TD-SCDMA. Filling this void, Evolved Cellular Network Planning and Optimization for UMTS and LTE presents an accessible introduction to all stages of planning and optimizing UMTS, HSPA, and LTE cellular networks. Supplying a comprehensive explanation of the fundamental aspects of current and future cellular networks, the text starts with an overview of each type of network, including basic techniques and channel models. Next, it examines the challenges operators and vendors are likely to face-explaining the critical role network planning and optimization play in addressing these challenges. The book details effective system-level simulation methods, it also provides: A complete overview of UMTS, HSPA, and LTE networks Techniques for planning and optimizing cellular networks An examination of inter-operation issues with existing cellular networks Coverage of the challenges in deploying LTE and relay networks In addition to exploring the procedures for planning and optimizing each type of network, the text covers techniques for major mechanisms, trending, troubleshooting, and conducting radio performance analysis. Paying special attention to compatibility issues among these networks, this book provides the understanding required to deploy and optimize networks that meet the growing demands for mobile data solutions.

Cities are where we live. In the stable environment, people start to pursue a cosy and wonderful life. Enjoyable and amazing public landscapes are the integral part of city life, not only adding to the beauty of the city, but also maintaining the harmony between humans and environment. The book includes the latest and most representative projects of numerous excellent designers all over the world, such as parks, streets, squares, as well as commercial, educational, and cultural designs. From the design philosophy to the detailed descriptions, from the whole landscape to detail, the book offers the most unique landscape designs.

Computer aided design (CAD) applies computer-assisted methodologies to model 3-D products, perform geometrical shape design, generate industrial or graphic drawings, and make engineering documentation. In this book, the authors present current research in CAD technology, types and general applications. Topics discussed in this compilation include computer aided thermal module design; virtual manufacturing technology; application of feature recognition in uniform and adaptive slicing for rapid prototyping and tooling processes; and computer-aided design based on the function-behaviour-structure (FBS) ontology.
