Semi Analytic Fast Method to Dimension 3G downlink Air interface H. Al-Housami, M. Casado-Fernandez Lucent Technologies, Swindon,UK. halhousami-lucent.com, mc195-lucent.com Abstract: There are two methods to dimension and plan downlink UMTS. The first method is based on an analytic formula, which is very fast, but inaccurate. The second method is based on Monte Carlo simulations, which is accurate
