OUTAGE PROBABILITY IN FDMA/TDMA MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

One of the most crucial problems to solve in the field of mobile communication networks is the evaluation for a generic link of the network of the outage probability due to the random characteristic of the transmission system, essentially determined by anomalous propagation conditions, cochannel interference and user mobility. The exact analytical solution to this problem is very burdensome, regardless to the system implementation technique considered. In this paper the effects of cochannel interference, nonselective fading and user mobility in FDMA/TDMA mobile radio networks are investigated, and an extremely simple approximated methodology is presented for the analytical evaluation of the outage probability and of the frequency reuse distance. It is worth noting that the proposed method allows to consider a general statistical description for the nonselective propagation media of the radio network. Here we successfully apply it the path loss, fading and shadowing scenario which are typical of cellular and microcellular structures.
