Abstract
The paper addresses the use of UMTS terminals for probing the signal level as a function of location for the purposes of network planning and monitoring. Potential UMTS location techniques are presented and the location performance of time delay and correlation based techniques is estimated by using impulse responses calculated by three-dimensional simulation techniques. The probing accuracy is estimated by carrying out simulations with different location accuracy levels. The Database Correlation Method (DCM) seems potential for supporting network planning applications.
