Abstract

In cellular mobile radio systems,interference is a limiting factor with respect to both system performance and system capacity.Therefore, profound knowledge of the statistics of thecarrier-to-interference ratio C/I, given bythe received carrier power C and the sum I of receivedpowers associated with various interferers, is essential.In this communication, a general approach allowing the calculationof C/I for both the up- and the downlink of anyinterference limited mobile radio system is presented.Power control algorithms are explicitly considered. The general approach is used to provide insight into the statistics of C/I of C/TDMA systems applying multi-user detection, which are promising candidates for third generationmobile radio systems. For these C/TDMA systems applyingmulti-user detection, a representative selection of results is collected from the general approach and presented in this communication. Furthermore, results concerning the composition of the intercell interference are given. These results are of particular interest when plumbing potential benefits of worthwhile future enhanced multi-user detection schemes which explicitly incorporate a given numberof intercell interferers.
