Performance Evaluation for Cellular CDMA

The authors consider the performance of a cellular radio, direct-sequence code-division multiple access, (CDMA) system. The base-to-mobile link is modeled as a flat Rayleigh fading channel, with all signals transmitted from a given base station fading in unison. For the mobile-to-base link, the authors use a similar model, except that the waveforms from all users are assumed to experience independent fading. The effects of imperfect power control are shown. >
