Uplink Multi-service Capacity and Interference Statistics of City Streets WCDMA Cross-shaped Microcells with Imperfect Power Control and Finite Transmitted Power

The multi-service (combination of more than one service) capacity and interference statistics (mean and variance) of the sectors of the street cross-shaped Wide Band Code Division Access (WCDMA) microcell are studied. A model of 21 cross-shaped microcells is used to analyze the uplink. The two slope propagation model is used to analyze the uplink. The capacity and interference statistics of the sectors are studied for different sector ranges, side lobe levels and power control (PC) standard deviation errors. It is noticed that, increasing the sector range will increase the sector capacity, reducing the side lobe level will also increase the sector capacity. Also it is noticed that, increasing the propagation exponent s2 will increase the sector capacity, reducing the standard deviations of the shadowing parameters σ1 and σ2 will increase the sector capacity and that reducing the power control standard deviation error σc will increase the sector capacity.
