Abstract

The capacity and the interference statistics (mean value and variance) of the sectors of the cigar-shaped Wideband Code Division Multiple Access microcells are studied. The two-slope propagation model is used in the analysis. A model of five microcells is used to calculate the uplink capacity and interference statistics assuming highways cigar-shaped microcells. The capacity and the interference statistics of the microcell are studied for different sector range, propagation exponent, antenna side lobe levels and different standard deviation of the power control error. It is noticed that the quasi-maximum uplink sector capacity can be got when the sector range R is between 600 and 1,200 m and the sidelobe level of the directive antenna used in each sector is on the order of ?15 dB.
