This assignment seeks the author to look at the considerations needed in the cell planning when utilizing GSM
and UMTS. These can be considered simultaneously or separately, but must be considered in detail.
The detailed examination should show that the author not only understands the GSM and UMTS technologies
(and can express this) but that they can also extrapolate this understanding into the theory of cell planning on a
more pragmatic level. The author might wish to consider alternative technologies that might have been deployed
that may have made the planning cycle easier/more efficient whilst giving the same user experience, if such
alternatives can be identified.
• Has the author expressed the background to the technology ie its origins or from where it has evolved or
emerged?
• Has the author expressed a sufficiently high technical level?
• Has the author discussed any existing similar technologies?
• Has the author discussed the salient features of the technology?
• Has the author discussed possible uses or markets?
• Has the author discussed the future impact of the technology?
• Is the assignment written in a suitable academic style with references?
