Analysis of the Statistical Properties of the SINR in the IEEE 802.16 OFDMA Network

In the IEEE 802.16 network the SINR per subcarrier, the average SINR, and the SINR RMS are stochastic processes. In this paper, we analyze the statistical properties of these stochastic processes using system level simulation. We present the probability density functions for the SINR per subcarrier and the average SINR stochastic processes expressed in both logarithmic and linear scales. We also present the probability density function for the SINR RMS stochastic process, expressed in the logarithmic scale. The results, obtained in this paper, allow using the statistical approach while developing the adaptive transmission algorithms for the IEEE 802.16 network.
