Abstract
Co-channel interference has a very strong impact on the performance of cellular mobile radio systems; a performance measure to evaluate its effect is the outage probability. This work presents an analytical general formula for the outage probability evaluation in full spectrum reuse cellular systems with discontinuous transmission. In particular, both Nakagami and Rician fading along with log-normal shadowing have been considered in the signal propagation model. In addition, the discontinuous transmission strategy is considered. The results are applied to the throughput evaluation of a packet cellular radio network based on the slotted Aloha protocol.
