Summary:
The performance aspects of conventional cellular (FDMA/TDMA) and CDMA systems with micro- and macroscopic diversity reception are investigated in a severe mobile communication environment which is characterized by path loss, correlated lognormal shadowing, multipath fading, background noise and interference. Under a co-channel interference-limited assumption, an exact analytical expression for the co-channel interference (CCI) probability is presented for a macroscopic diversity system with an arbitrary number of correlated macroscopic branches. For noise-limited systems, the average bit-error-rate (BER) and outage probability performances of a narrowband mobile communication system with micro- and macrodiversity reception are evaluated. In the relevant analysis, both Nakagami and Rician fading channels are considered. When both co-channel interference and noise coexists, the results for a Nakagami fading channel show that diversity reception can be used to reduce the effects of interference while combating fading and shadowing. Micro- and macroscopic diversities are also applied to a multicell DS-CDMA system. In a conventional cellular system with macroscopic diversity, the mobile user is usually connected to the closest base station. However, a base-station selection scheme based on a least attenuation criterion is shown to provide a significant performance improvement over the conventional system. In this case, the system performance is examined in terms of BER and outage probability, while accounting for the effects of path loss, correlated shadowing, multipath fading, multiple access interference, and imperfect power control.
