Abstract

This paper analyzes tradeoffs within a dynamic allocation method, called the fixed cell assignment, which employs wideband time division multiple access transmission for the forward link in broadband (10 Mbit/s) wireless networks. This high data rate at the operating frequency 2 GHz is considered. The system is configured with directional base station antennas and omnidirectional mobile antennas, with each cell divided into six sectors, and sectors numbered in the same order for every cell. Access is controlled based on availability and sector number, and half the sectors in each cell reuse the same spectrum. The frequency reuse factor of two and power control technology mitigate the effects of co-channel interference. Differential phase shift keying modulation is employed. Computer simulations are performed showing maximum capacity tradeoffs.
