Abstract

A performance analysis is presented for macrodiversity integrated voice/data CDMA systems. Macrodiversity with maximal ratio combining (MMRC) is ideal for such voice/data systems since it allows robust resource sharing between the two users while removing uncertainties in estimating the system capacity. Our analytical model allows the systems to dynamically allocate additional channels to data users to increase throughput when the necessary resource is available. The data users are characterized by arrival rates and average data size, and the resulting data user quality of service (QoS) performances are evaluated by using a simple birth-and-death Markov process. Our analytical results are fully verified by computer simulation. We show how various system QoS measures such as blocking and outage probabilities can be obtained and used in call admission control (CAC) decisions
