A Capacity Estimation Model For Cellular Systems

Abstract

Acomputer model has been developed to set up a single RF carrier scenario consisting of a central serving cell and two tiers of co-channel interferers. Samples are then generated uniformly within the serving cell and at each point the carrier to co-channel interference ratio (CA) is evaluated. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) can then be derived by considering a large number of samples. For a given C/Ic threshold, the outage probability of the system is then found by drawing the appropriate threshold line across the CDF.
