Abstract
The repeaters in the CDMA networks are non-regenerative and serve as transparent remote radio access nodes, offering the donor cell resources in their coverage area. Repeaters are thus a low-cost replacement for BTSs, and their use is justified on their cost-saving value. While a detailed cost analysis of the CDMA network is by far too complex and market specific, there are valuable lessons to be learned from certain cost-performance rules and their parametric analysis. The theme guiding this book — providing insight by analyzing the underlying basic process, is pursued in this chapter also. Cost constituents are evaluated against their performance value, and trends are shown [1]. Actual costing is not within the scope of the book, and is left to be evaluated based on specific data.
