Abstract

The capacity and the interference statistics of the sectors of the cigar-shaped W-CDMA microcell are studied. A model of 5 microcells is used to analyze the uplink. The microcells are assumed to exist in rural zones. The capacity and the interference statistics of the microcell are studied for different sector range, different antenna side lobe levels, different values of the break point distance, different values of the propagation parameter s 2 and different standard deviation of the power control error.
