On the analytical computation of the interference statistics with applications to the performance evaluation of mobile radio systems

Abstract

We provide a general analytical framework for the computation of the interference statistics in mobile radio cellular systems. This approach, which takes into account log-normal shadowing, distance path loss, best cell site selection and power control based on signal strength, applies to various cellular environments, including narrowband systems (e.g., IS-54 and Group Special Mobiles GSM) and code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems. Some examples of application are provided.
