%0 Journal Article %T Analysis of the influence of sectorization in the capacity of WCDMA using topological invariants %D 2005 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10906/81981 %X Polyhedral analysis and simplicial complexes have been used in areas such as database design, traffic and social sciences, since work from Atkin. In this paper we make a short introduction on simplicial complexes and then propose the use of some topological invariants of simplicial complexes such is the structure vector to qualitatively predict the capacity of a WCDMA system and improve the planning process of CDMA based systems used in third generation. We compare results obtained from structural vector with results obtained from a dynamic simulator in order to show the relation between structural vector and capacity. %K Sistemas de telecomunicación %K Bases de datos %K Simulación (Computación) %K Automation Command and control system %K Automatización y sistemas de control %K Ingeniería eléctrica %K Ingeniería telemática %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
