The effect of fading on the erlang capacity of imperfect power control CDMA cellular system

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the evaluation of the reverse link capacity of a CDMA cellular system, which based on using Gaussian and Lognormal approximation are methods for approximate the capacity of system. We include the fading channel multipath intensity profile (MIP) shape factor in the capacity formula. The system condition is an imperfect power control and Rayleigh multipath fading channel.
