CDMA2000 Downlink Performance Analysis Based on Deterministic Ray-Tracing Channel Model

Abstract

This paper presents frame error rate (FER) properties of downlink in CDMA2000 system with the movement of the mobile terminal in high-rise urban environment. The site-specific channel model based on ray-tracing technique is chosen for this analysis with the established cells and sectors for the current IS-95 service. The tendency of FER according to the position of the mobile terminal is analyzed. From this analysis, we can infer the possibility of using the established IS-95 cell plannings for the CDMA2000 service.
