Statistics of signal to interference plus noise ratio in a sectorized FH-TDMA system with a single cell frequency reuse pattern

Abstract

A model for the reverse link of a frequency hopped TDMA cellular radio system has already been introduced by Chebaro and Godlewski (see Proceedings of the RACE Mobile Telecommun. Workshop, Amsterdam, vol.1, p.128, 1994). This model is used in this paper to perform an interference analysis where sectorization and a single cell frequency reuse pattern are considered. Sectorization, restricted to the simple use of directive antennas at the base station level, is of considerable interest in improving the performance as it can be concluded from the numerical results we obtain. The statistics of "signal to interference plus noise" radio are therefore determined for a sectorized TDMA cellular radio system with a single cell frequency reuse pattern i.e. a cluster size K=1.
