Abstract

In a IS-95 cellular systm, blocking will occur when the reverse link user interference power reaches a predepermmed level which is set to maintam acceptable signal quality. In this paper, it is assumed that a mobile rdio channel is a shadowing channel and Erlang capacity is calculated for the reverse limk of an imperfect power controlled IS-95 cellular system. the blocking probability is derived using lognornal pproximation and the results according to guassian and lognormal approximation method are compared and analyzed respcctively. Assuming that blocking probability is 1% at the data rate of $R_b$=9.6kbps and $R_b$=14.4kbps, it is shown that Erlang capacity using Iognormal approximation is 13.68 Erlang and 7.08 Erlang and then the approximation erroris occurred about 24.4% and 40.4% inthe garssian approximation, respectively. It is also observed that if the power control becomes periect, the Erlang capacity is increased more 6.99 and 4.21 Erlang than that of the imperfect power control that the power contrl error is 2.5dB, and if voice activity is considered as 10%, the Erlang capacity is increased more 8.21 and 1.25 Erlang than that using non voice activity, respectively.

IS-95 셀룰라 시스템에서는 다른 역방향 사용자들의 통화로 인한 간섭 레벨(level)이 이미 정해져 있는 레벨 이상이 되었을 때 통화 블럭킹(blocking)이 일어난다. 본 논문에서는 이동 무선채널을 전파음영(shadowing) 채널로 가정하고 불완전 전력제어된 IS-95 셀룰라 시스템의 역방향 링크에 대한 얼랑용량(Erlag capacity)을 산출한다. 블록킹 확률(blocking probability)은 로그노말 근사(lognormal approximation)를 사용하여 유도하고 가우시안 근사와 로그노말 근사의 결과들을 서로 비교 분석한다. 데이터율 $R_b$=9.6kbps 와 $R_b$=14.4kbps에서 1% 블록킹 확률을 가정하면, 로그노말 근사를 사용한 얼랑용량은 각각 13.68 얼랑과 7.08 얼랑으로 가우시안 근사가 약 24,4%와 40.4% 의 근사한 오차를 발생시킨다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 전력제어가 완벽하게 된다면 얼랑용량은 전력제어 오차가 2.5㏈인 불완전 전력제어보다 6.99 얼랑과 4.21 얼랑 증가하고, 음성활동율을 40%로 간주하면 음성활동을 고려하지 않은 경우보다 8.21 얼랑과 4.25 얼랑이 각각 증가함을 알 수 있다.
