Microcellular CDMA mobile communications

Because of its well-known ability to both combat multipath and allow multiple users to simultaneously communicate over a channel, spread-spectrum techniques are being considered for use in cellular communication networks. Code division multiple access (CDMA) is becoming a very attractive technique for personal communications networks (PCN) and microcellular mobile communications. This paper evaluates the performance of a microcellular CDMA system by considering the effects of both intracell and intercell interference. It was discovered that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the microcellular CDMA system increases as the propagation loss exponent increases
