Future UMTS radio planning engineers will face difficult problems due to the complexity of the system and the size of these networks. In the STORMS project, a software for the optimisation of the radio network is under development. Two mathematical models of the radio planning problem are proposed. Two software prototypes based on these models are described with the first experimental and comparative results.
