Abstract

Cellular system performance depends on the interaction of handoff and power-level control algorithms with a variable and sometime hostile environment. We have developed a detailed and accurate simulation of this process that can used to evaluate a particular system's configuration and predict signal-to-impairment levels, blocking, cutoff calls, and many other performance items. We have used it in studies to show that adjacent channel interference is a significant but not dominant impairment in large-cell and small-cell cases, and that dynamic power-control algorithms are effective in controlling cutoff calls, even in the face of Rayleigh-fading induced measurement error.
