Abstract

The third generation mobile technology (3G) has been one of the important innovation in communication field. The development of the third generation (3G) technology happens due to previous technology such as first generation(1G) and second generation(2G). For the first generation (1G) technology used for analogue mobile phones. The standards of first generation (1G) are Total Access Communication System(TACS), Nordic Mobile Telephone(NMT) and Advanced Mobile Phone Service(AMPS) which varied according to location. Then, the first generation (1G) technology replaced by second generation technology (2G). The second generation(2G) technology used for digital mobile phones, which with standards such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), personal digital cellular (PDC), and digital AMPS (D-AMPS). The advantages of third generation(3G) technology compared to previous technologies are it brings digital multimedia handsets with high data transmission rates, capable of providing much more than basic voice calls. For W-CDMA (access technology of 3G) the quality and capacity should be planned with proper guidelines in order to avoid loss or interruption of service. In order to avoid such problems the handover conducted in telecommunication industries. The handover can be classified into hard handover and soft/softer handover. The implementation of soft handover can increase the quality, and capacity performance. The principle of handover considered during the planning of 3G networks. This research involves the basic study of W-CDMA architecture along with the planning of handover in 3G technology. The handover planning conducted by using software called Atoll RF planning tool.
