Coverage area vs. E b /N 0 in a WCDMA system for different antenna heights in suburban/rural environment
Source publication
The Coverage and Capacity are the essential parameters that defines the performance of a cellular system. But, these are restricted by the interference in the system. The Co-Channel Interference(CCI) is one of the major sources of interference which exists mainly due to the concept of frequency reuse. The effect of CCI is more in CDMA based systems...

... of voice activity decreases the capacity of a WCDMA. For K= 5 and 5% Probability of CCI, as the voice activity factor increases from 0.3 to 0.8, the capacity decreased from 347.6 Erlangs to 130.7 Erlangs. The variation of coverage area under a base station with E b /N 0 for different antenna heights in suburban and rural environment is shown in Fig. 8. From above figure, it is observed that, the coverage area observed is more in suburban/rural environments as compared to that in urban environments for a given base station antenna ...

Signal loss experienced by network users in and around the city has been an issue that needed to be addressed. WCDMA network operating at a frequency of 1.857GHz was monitored in some selected areas within the city namely: Ri...
Cellular systems are trending in a manner of increasing the data rates and coverage. Despite evolution to new generation networks (NGN), 3rd generation systems (3G) are widely deployed and still in use. Bit error rate (BER) against signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) defines the quality of the link. BER performance in a jammed radio environment is studied...
