A NOVEL CAPACITY ANALYZING METHOD FOR MULTIMEDIA CDMA SYSTEMS BASED ON POWER LEVEL ALLOCATION

摘要

A novel method is proposed to analyze the capacity of future Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems carrying multimedia services. The power level allocation is firstly investigated to meet each call's Bit Error Rate (BER) requirement, then the system capacity is defined from the conditions for the existence of the physical meaning of these power levels. Simulation results have shown that the capacity analyzing methods can be well used in the performance evaluation of the system accommodating heterogeneous services and the spectral efficiency of this scheme is higher than the existing ones.
