Abstract

OFDMA/OFDM multiple access/multiplexing techniques represent the radio interface technologies for the 4-th generation broadband cellular access networks such as the WiMAX operating the point-to-multipoint configuration. In this paper we consider the problem of the frequency reuse in cellular OFDMA/OFDM systems and in particular we calculate the reuse distance which is required to obtain a given link outage probability level. Analysis is carried out using a semi-analytical approach based on a general expression of the SINR accounting for multipath, frequency and time offsets between the reference terminal and the interfering devices. The proposed approach can be easily applied to evaluate performance under different operating modes of the OFDMA/OFDM cellular network e.g. synchronous BSs or not
