Abstract
Uplink planification in a WCDMA network consists of estimating the maximum capacity that a cell can support, by using the quality of service equation designed by (E_b)/(N_0). We are interested in this work on two different scenarios: an isolated cell and multiple cells. This capacity is adversely affected by interferences due to own mobile stations and to others belonging to neighboring cells. In order to enhance capacity and minimize the blocking probability of new requests in the cell, we have proposed a Freeing Resources algorithm which consists of releasing some mobile stations in the handover area with the overloaded cell. This algorithm is based on freeing 1, 2 and 3 mobile stations of 12.2 kbps and 1 mobile station of 64 kbps.
