Performance analysis of microcellular mobile radio systems with shadowed cochannel interferers

A study is presented of microcellular mobile radio systems where the desired signal has Rician statistics and cochannel interferers experience lognormal shadowing as well as Rayleigh fading. This implies a Rician/Rayleigh-plus-lognormal microcell interference model. The probability density function of the signal-to-interference ratio is derived and used to evaluate the performance of microcellular systems in terms of the outage probability.
