Mishra\u003c\/b\u003e received his M.Tech in Microwave Electronics from University of Delhi in 1997. Since then, he has been working with Nokia Networks. He has been involved not only in the research and development of network designing \u0026amp; optimisation for all the three generation of networks but also in the deployment of these networks globally. He has several publications to his credit. His current interests are issues related to the design and performance of third, fourth generation and mixed cellular networks.  With the complexity of the cellular networks increasing day by day, a deeper understanding of the design and performance of end-to-end cellular networks is required. Moreover, all the types of networks from 2G-2.5G-3G seem to co-exist. \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation\u003c\/i\u003e covers end-to-end network planning and optimisation aspects from second generation GSM to third generation WCDMA networks including GPRS and EDGE networks.
