This report is a primary step towards planning a high quality communication network providing users with sufficient coverage and capacity. The main goal of the project is to plan a network that can efficiently serve the maximum possible number of users simultaneously. It concerns mainly about third generation (3G) mobile communication systems and UMTS standard that uses UTRAN radio access network, it also concerns about the service level that users can experience. The project is implemented using a Matlab Implementation named as Network Planning Strategies for Wideband CDMA (NPSW), and the most significant results are a best possible coverage of 87.91% and a capacity of approximately 61% which is considered to be acceptable with a possibility of further improvements. The objectives of this work have been successfully achieved and this benefits the users by providing a satisfactory level of communication services
