Description
This thesis is concerned with the performance analysis of a DS/CDMA packet radio system under Rician fading channel conditions. Analytic expressions are derived for the probability density functions and cumulative distribution functions of the total signal-to-interference ratio when considering mixed-type of interference sources. The users are divided into two groups: those that apply closed-loop power control and those that apply open-loop power control. Four different scenarios of power control were studied. The outage probability is evaluated for the four different cases of power control. A packet transmission protocol with forward error correction capabilities is considered, and the probability density functions of the signal-to-interference ratio are used to calculate the average block error probability as well as the outage probability of the system.
