W-CDMA Uplink Capacity and Interference Statistics of a Long Tunnel Cigar-Shaped Microcells

  • Published : 2004.06.01

Abstract

The uplink capacity and the interference statistics of the sectors of the cigar-shaped W-CDMA microcells are studied. A model of 9 base station, assumed to be in a long tunnel, is used for the uplink analysis. The capacity and the interference statistics of the microcells are studied for different sector ranges, different propagation exponents, different antenna sidelobe levels, and different bend losses.
