Abstract

This paper addresses the analysis of WCDMA systems with repeaters deployment. The real different path delays, taking into account the repeaters presence and the finite nature of the time window of Rake receivers are considered. This allows an enhanced analysis with respect to classical approaches from a system level viewpoint. Results show that not taking into account these effects imply erroneous metrics. Indeed, some of the most relevant parameters in network performance evaluation are clearly affected
