Review and Development of Reception Reliability Estimation Techniques for Mobile Radio System Planning

There are two general types of reception reliability estimation techniques presented in the literature, namely bit detection techniques and statistical channel techniques. This paper presents a review of these techniques and assesses their usefulness as tools for system planners. In the planning of wideband systems the effects of power delay spread need to be considered. A new statistical channel technique incorporating delay spread, noise and cochannel interference is presented in this paper. The results from this technique are consistent with those derived from more specialised and computationally expensive bit detection techniques.
