چکیده
The third generation (3G) cellular system offers high data rate services compared with 1G and 2G systems. The planners must utilize all possible resources to improve capacity and coverage area for the cellular network. The aim of this paper to investigate the third generation (3G) cellular system offers high data using simulation, the impact of cell splitting, additional carrier and remote radio heads on the system capacity, also the mast head amplifiers on the uplink coverage probability in the WCDMA network. The studied area is a cellular network at Mosul city, with 13*13 Km containing 19 sites.
