Claim One:
1. A network planning system for determining specifications for a wireless network, comprising: an input module for receiving traffic statistics for the wireless network; a processing module for receiving the traffic statistics and generating the specifications for the network, the processing module being operative to construct a design for an intended network and generate specifications for the intended network, the processing module being operative to compute user level performance parameters for the intended network using a processor sharing queuing model, the processing module being operative to directly compute the user level performance parameters based on the traffic statistics and the network specifications, the processing module being further operative to compare the user level performance parameters against predetermined requirements and to repeatedly adjust the network specifications, compute new user level performance parameters and compare the user level performance parameters against the predetermined requirements until a set of network specifications has been generated that produces user level performance parameters meeting the requirements; and an output module for presenting the network specifications generated by the processing module.
