Abstract
The capacity and the interference statistics (mean and variance) of the sectors of a Cigar-, Tee-, and Cross-shaped WCDMA microcells are studied. Models of 5, 7, and 9 microcells are used to analyze the uplink capacity of the cigar-, Tee-, and cross-shaped W-CDMA microcell, respectively. The capacity and the interference statistics of the microcell are studied for different sector range and antenna side lobe levels. It is shown that the highest sector capacity is obtained when the microcell is cigar-shaped. For a cross-shaped microcell, the sector capacity is the lowest. Also it is shown that the uplink sector capacity will be very high if synchronous WCDMA is used in the uplink. To get the quasi maximum capacity, the sector range should be (0.6 – 1) km and the side lobe level of the directive antenna used in each sector should be – 15 dBc or lower.
