Abstract
The transmission quality of a mobile communication network is heavily influenced by terrain coverage, topography and human-made obstacles such as high rise buildings. All these result in multiple reflections and subsequent interference between radio transmitters and receivers, which will be reflected in the quality of the network. This research introduces a solution based on the application of commercial Geographical Information System and remote sensing software tools for automatic planning of Global System for Mobile Telecommunications networks by optimizing the location and number of radio base station. This approach will enhance network coverage and quality with minimal cost.
