W-CDMA Uplink Capacity and Interference Statistics of Rural Highways Cross-Shaped Microcells

The capacity and the interference statistics of the sectors of the cross-shaped W-CDMA cell are studied using an analytical approach. A model of 49 cells is used to analyse the uplink, which limits the capacity. The cells are assumed to exist in rural zones. The capacity and the interference statistics of the microcell are studied for different sector ranges and different antenna sidelobe levels.
