One of the main concerns of mobile operators towards deployment of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks
is the investment cost. The costly radio access network, based on the network equipment required in a service area, prevents
incumbents and new entrants from upgrading or building a new UMTS network. In this article, a novel, low-cost approach to
the UMTS radio access network design is proposed. The approach employs the use of pricing incentives. This approach is based
on the assumption that a pricing mechanism is in place to control excessive traffic load during peak periods. By incorporating
this assumption into the network design, the network designer is able to relax certain design parameters, which may contribute
to significant savings in equipment cost. Investigation is focused on the UMTS coverage and capacity planning, using the Net
Present Value (NPV) financial analysis. For certain price-sensitivity levels, the analysis indicates that this approach provides
a suitable strategy for mobile operators to comfortably move forward with UMTS upgrade and gain competitive edge in the wireless
market. 相似文献
