Other-cell-interference factor distribution model in downlink WCDMA systems

Interference performance is among the most important issues especially in WCDMA cellular networks planning coverage and capacity. F-factor has been introduced in previous works to model the interference in WCDMA downlink dimensioning process. In this paper, we establish its PDF expression assuming 1 interferer in the server both with and without correlated shadowing effect. Uniform and non-uniform traffic situations are distinguished through the study of both uniform and non-uniform traffic load cases. Then, we generalize the expression for multiple interferers.
