It is a time consuming, computationally hard, task and generally requires the consideration of both downlink and uplink requirements. Simulation experiments presented here suggest that if time is a major consideration in the planning process then as a compromise only uplink needs to be considered. %K CDMA %K Network Planning %K Optimization %K Simulation %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=2575
