Abstract

This work derives the analytic expression of the feasibility condition for the uplink of a WCDMA mobile communications system with repeaters deployment in a multiservice environment with a general heterogeneous layout. In particular, a compact closed expression for the admission region is presented, suitable for a system where the users belong to an arbitrary number of different service classes. A tradeoff between capacity and coverage arises and it has been analysed both theoretically and by means of simulations. Different parameters are shown to have a major impact and their adjustment is discussed.
